Meet the star-studded astrology and zodiac council on JLO’s new movie

Jennifer Lopez’s new movie, "This Is Me...Now: A Love Story” breaks many genres.

But J.Lo and Ben aren't the only stars shining in this huge project. It's part of a big trio that includes the movie, an album with the same name, and a documentary that gives us a sneak peek behind the scenes. The film dropped on Prime Video on Feb. 16 and was directed by the super talented music video director Dave Meyers. It's like this epic, dreamy love story that cheekily winks at J.Lo's own rollercoaster love life, which has been tabloid gold for almost 40 years.

But our main focus? The star-studded Zodiac Council - absolute genius tbh

Absolutely, this film is packed with astrological and spiritual nods. It cleverly integrates characters representing each zodiac sign into the zodiac love council, guiding the protagonist's love life with a mix of humor and wisdom. With a star-studded cast embodying these celestial roles, from Jenifer Lewis as the dynamic Gemini twins to Jane Fonda as the sagacious Sagittarius, the movie doesn't shy away from diving deep into the mystic. Notably, even Capricorn and Aquarius, though not visually represented, linger as unseen influences, rounding out a universe where every sign has a part to play. The inclusion of figures like Sadhguru and Jay Shetty adds a layer of real-world spiritual gravitas, blurring the lines between the cosmic and the earthly in a narrative rich with astrological lore and life's serendipities.

Let’s break down who was in it:

1. Jenifer Lewis makes a stunning appearance as both Gemini twins on the zodiac love council.

2. Post Malone stars as the Leo representative, mirroring Lopez and Affleck's astrological sign, on the council.

3. Trevor Noah plays the Libra role on the council, initially surprised to be cast by Lopez.

6. Sadhguru represents Pisces, aligning with his role as a spiritual leader in real life.

7. Jay Shetty, who officiated Lopez and Affleck's wedding, plays the Aries representative.
