One of Pandora Astrology's Favorite Reviews What's This?
Jamie was amazing. My first ever astrological reading, it was a powerful experience that resulted in me relaxing into my life so much more. She is exceptionally gifted at translating and teaching this system. Her insights were SPOT on...she explained things that I have been struggling to understand about myself. I would highly recommend her to anyone interested in personal growth or life purpose work.
Sigh. I don't sound like a scientist, do I?

Any explanation of who I am that starts out with: " a reading is similar to looking at your chart as if it's a theater, playing out the grand drama of your life" makes me certainly want to sit down for the revealing of the show. Jamie's kind, insightful and metaphorical approach to her chart readings makes for a clear understanding of ones planetary portrait. I was impressed by her usage of astrology books, transit charts, and calculations, translated into detailed, personal information about me.
She touched on a wide variety of settings in my life, from early childhood experiences, which brought tears to my eyes, to the everyday present reality of my experiences. Her reading helped me to understand basic events in my reality, such as why I had recently been carelessly forgetful to explaining major life markers, such as career and relationship. All the information I received felt distinct to me, and some parts felt astonishingly personal...hey, how does she know that?
I highly recommend Pandora's Astrology. You get to have a glimpse inside your own world, from a perspective supported by the planetary alignment during your birth and it's conjunct with the planets currently. If you are looking for some guidance, reassurance, understanding and perceptivity into your life, give yourself the gift of a reading from Jamie. It's well worth the knowing!

The thing that I like best about Jamie is that in addition to having a tremendous amount of knowledge about astrology, she is also organized, well prepared, and skilled at communicating what she sees in a way that is useful to the person getting the reading. When I went showed up, she had thorough notes prepared for 5 or 6 different major topics that she noticed from my chart were likely to be important to me. She always let me decide what direction the reading went but I could see that she put in a lot of time and effort ahead of time to be prepared to get in-depth with whatever I chose to talk about.
I've had the great fortune of meeting a lot of wonderful, wise, intuitive people over the years but there are only a few who I would consult with repeatedly over the years and Jamie is one of them. I'm also excited to be able to go to her monthly class to build my own abilities to see things for myself.
I have been following Jamie's blog for some time now but only recently got a reading from her. I actually got two readings in quick succession. The first was a personal reading of my birth chat complete with current transits in my life and how it all was playing out. The second was a couples reading with my love.
Both of them were astounding in terms of illuminating aspects of my personal life and our interpersonal dynamics.
Her style is very warm and inviting. She is able to speak in language and metaphors that truly resonate with you to give the maximal impact of what she is saying.
She is also very thorough with her reading and incredibly well prepared. Not only does she have a deep understanding of your chart she is open to any and all questions you might have about it making for a dynamic and exciting experience.
She bills herself as an astrologer for people who don't buy into the new age woo-woo stuff and she certianly delivers. One does not need to buy into the metaphysics of it all for her work to be directly relevant and useful in your daily life.
Can't recommend highly enough.

I had a really good experience when getting a reading with Jamie Kahl of Pandora Astrology. She did my natal chart and I will definitely go back for more. I love having the CD to listen to--it's a lot of information and I am glad I can listen to it over time to absorb it all. Jamie is very smart. Not being much of a spiritual seeker, I needed to hear things in real terms that I could understand and Jamie was a great translator. She used a metaphor of "the theater of life" that I liked because it helped me understand what the different parts of my reading meant in relation to the planets and signs that she was getting information from.
There are a lot of great astrologers out there and I think Jamie is one of the better. I really appreciate her straightforward style. Thanks Jamie!

Jamie's insight into what makes me tick was dead on. That was impressive, but what was more impressive and more helpful was her meta-perspective on the areas of my personality that I'm already committed to improving. And she offered that perspective without me ever having to bring those areas of my personality up. She just knew.
Many of the details of my life that she talked about were just staggeringly accurate. A lot of them there's just no way should could have known. There's nothing she told me that I didn't already know about myself, but she contextualized it all from a perspective that I've never considered or known I could consider, and that will really help my spiritual growth at a time when I really need that kind of growth.
Her approach was full of useful, concrete, specific arenas for me to focus my attention on. Again and again she hit the nail on the head. I never thought I would have reason to see someone who does what Jamie does, but having met with her I'm more than satisfied and glad that I did!

As a Bay Area resident, I've had my fair share of astrological readings over the years, but keep finding myself coming back to Jamie Kahl of Pandora Astrology. I have had a natal reading, relationship reading and transit readings with Jamie over a ten year period.
Jamie has consistently impressed me with her continual study of astrology and how much information she is able to convey in one reading. In addition to the reading, Jamie supplies copies of the charts used in the readings, personalized diagrams of current transits and recordings of your reading session to take home with you.
Jamie brings a lovely blend of geek, science mind with intuitive wisdom to her work. I leave her readings feeling inspired, understood and excited about life's opportunities...and challenges!

I've been obsessed with astrology for some time now and started doing readings for fun and profit about 6 years ago. I love doing readings, reading about astrology all the time, taking classes, chatting about it online and in person with novice and professional astrologers, and have even taught other people astrology basics.
Yet I still learned something new talking about astrology basics at Jamie's fun monthly Astrology Games Night. And what a great way to learn!
I also learn something new, about myself and about astrology, every time I get a reading from Jamie. She is very knowledgable, great at explaining the complexities of astrology in an approachable way, and spot on in her insights. Her love of her art really shows through.

Jamie is an excellent astrologer! She did my natal chart, relationship chart, and transit readings this year. The transit reading was especially useful in assisting me to make decisions for the upcoming year. I highly recommend it! She's friendly, professional, and burns the whole thing to CD, so I can listen to it again and again! Good stuff!

I was a skeptic about astrology before I had my first reading with Jamie. She demonstrated an astonishing degree of insight into my natural ways of being and responding to external phenomena. What's particularly special about Jamie is that she presents astrology not as a means to predict the future, but as a possibility for living with joy and productivity. Her readings are most useful because they apply to my agenda and how to respond effectively, rather than telling me what to do. Overall, it was a most self-validating experience!

I got my first astrology reading from Jamie Kahl 10 years ago. Since then, I've gotten 7 more readings and referred over 20 of my friends and associates to her (including gift certificates I've given as presents). While I've enjoyed all of my readings tremendously and found them useful, my favorite ones are definitely the relationship readings. I've had relationship readings with romantic partners that served as a roadmap to both "sweet spots" and challenges, and also for my relationship with my young daughter, to better understand where she's coming from and how to best parent her. Readings with Jamie are both fun and informative, especially for folks interested in personal growth who are willing to explore off the beaten path. She's always very warm and professional to deal with - making appointments is easy, and you get a free chart AND a recording of the reading, so you can replay it and let it sink in over time. Jamie says that her philosophy of astrology is to illuminate your self and your path so clearly that you wouldn't want to be anyone else, and that's always the feeling I have when I have a reading or listen to one. Do you wonder that I keep going back for more? ;)
