Hi, I’m Isa 👋 — a podcaster & astrologer in Oakland. Raveena once called me “spiritual Nardwuar,” which feels like the perfect shorthand for the way I blend intuition, research, and cultural memory in my work.

Features & appearances

01 - The Astrology Podcast: giving astrology consultations

It was an honor to join Chris Brennan on The Astrology Podcast to talk about how to give an astrological consultation — especially meaningful for me, as much of my early learning came from Chris’s generous and rigorous free resources.

In our conversation, we explored the transition from studying astrology to practicing it professionally, the importance of preparation and presence, and how my background as an arts educator shapes my client-centered, collaborative approach. We also discussed reading style, ethics, boundaries, and the practical realities of holding space for someone’s chart.

This episode felt like a milestone in my journey as a practitioner, and a chance to share what I’ve learned about making consultations meaningful, accessible, and alive.

02 - Bad Faith Podcast

Appearing on Briahna Joy Gray’s podcast Bad Faith was a milestone for me—not only because I deeply respect Brie’s work, but because it was one of the first times in my career that I faced such intense backlash about astrology as a “pseudoscience.”

The reaction reminded me just how polarizing—and powerful—this ancient symbolic system actually is. It pushed me to clarify why I do this work, and how astrology, when practiced with rigor and self-awareness, can illuminate the emotional, political, and relational patterns that shape our lives.

In the episode, Brie and I talked about how I found my way into astrology, why sun-sign stereotypes fall flat, why she keeps attracting Cancer men, Trump’s Leo rising, and how understanding ourselves through celestial language might support leftist communities struggling to connect in a fractured world.

This conversation reaffirmed my conviction in astrology’s relevance—its ability to deepen connection, build symbolic literacy, and offer a shared language for meaning in a time when so many of us feel unmoored.

03 - Best Friends Podcast with Nicole Byer and Sasheer Zamata

I had the opportunity to record an episode of Best Friends at the Conan O’Brien Studio in Larchmont with Nicole Byer and Sasheer Zamata. I gave both Nicole and Sasheer a chart reading and shed light into their relationship as it relates to the stars. Nicole is a double Virgo and Sasheer’s Moon is in Aries.

04 - KCRW’s How’s Your Sex Life? with Myisha Battle

I had the pleasure of being a guest of KCRW’s advice podcast “How’s Your Sex Life” hosted by sexologist Myisha Battle. On this episode, Myisha and I field questions from listeners and offer advice for the astrologically inclined while challenging the idea that you have to be fully healed to be with someone.
