Proceed With Caution. High-Pressure Sales Tactics, Surface-Level Content.
I believed 8th & Poppy was a reputable program rooted in integrity and empathy. It is, in fact, a high-pressure sales operation that preys on women in vulnerable situations.
I purchased the program and, at the time, believed the cost was justified by the astrology mentorship I was seeking. I was in a delicate place professionally, desperate for change, and I ignored the red flags.
The sales process is manipulative by design. Pricing is withheld until the enrollment call, so you have no time to research or consult anyone. Wanting to think it over or discuss a multi-thousand-dollar purchase with family is reframed as a failure to "invest in yourself." The guilt and shame are deliberate pressure tactics.
The content doesn't hold up. The founder has never disclosed where she learned astrology, even when asked directly. After pursuing genuinely reputable astrology education myself, it became clear that this program is little more than a beautifully packaged AI-generated response. No depth, no nuance, no real business strategy beyond social media outreach. She advertises a doable path to six figures in a year, yet cannot provide credible examples of students who achieved this outside of herself. It is purely a marketing strategy to hook you.
There is no student community. No way to connect or communicate with others in the program. What's framed as a focused learning environment is, in practice, completely isolating. Critical reviews tend to disappear, and dissent is suppressed. The positive reviews you see here are not the full truth. The reputation management is aggressive precisely because the product can't speak for itself.
The coaching support can feel meaningful in the moment, but it becomes clear over time that the program's priority is not your success. It is protecting the founder's image and income. My own business has grown by doing the opposite of what is taught here: genuine human connection.
If you have thousands to spare and are simply curious about astrology, this is an aesthetically pleasing introduction to the basics. However, better education & mentorship is out there from people who genuinely care about your growth at a much lower price point.
I was sold on a version of this program and its founder that doesn't exist. I fell for it. Trust your gut.
