Speaker 1

I wanted to do a show on astrology, so first of all, it is in your destiny to do this. I'm mong asiaticular, and to be honest, I don't believe in astrology, at least I don't think I do. But from the moment I was born, it's been a part of my life, part of my family's story for as long as anyone can remember.

Speaker 2

In India, it's like smoking. You might not smoke, but you're going to get secondhand astrology.

Speaker 1

And lately I've been wondering if the universe has been trying to tell me to stop running and pay attention, because maybe there is magic in the stars if you're willing to look for it. So I rounded up some friends.

Speaker 2

I'm Mary and.

Speaker 1

I'm a Cancer, I'm Miitra and I'm a Leo, I'm Markham and Gemini. We're the most hated sign, which is weird because work great and although we had no idea what we were getting into, we dove headfirst into the global obsession with astrology and it got weird fast. Tantric curses, major League Baseball teams, canceled marriages, K pop, fortune telling cows, and you wouldn't believe the tension between believers and skeptics.

Speaker 2

I got into astrology trying to disprove it.

Speaker 1

I said, he's a Gemini, he's restless, and he goes he's turning down one hundred million. Help.

Speaker 2

Is the president's interest in astrology something.

Speaker 1

For us to be concerned about.

Speaker 2

When people say that astrology is a science and has physical roots in the stars, it's like, oh, no, it doesn't, but it's true the way a poem is true.

Speaker 1

Along the way, I met people with really big questions and astrologers who tried to answer them.

Speaker 2

Will I ever believe in anything? I had a question about, like who's going to diverse? Because there's an answer that I want?

Speaker 1

Because I feel like I'm at the brink of something.

Speaker 2

I just don't belto something.

Speaker 1

I discovered far flung beaches where women astrologers roam, and tiny shops where centuries of predictions are kept hidden in faults.

Speaker 2

See what I've done lately? You want it pass?

Speaker 1

But just when I thought I had a handle on this sweet and curious show about astrology, my whole world came crashing down.

Speaker 2

You planned this under an eclipse. Eclipse energy can be very volatile. Things happening unexpectedly. Can't really see it coming. Oh, situation doesn't look good for father. There is risk to father and.

Speaker 1

My whole view on astrology it changed. Whether you're a skeptic or a believer. Give me a few minutes, because I think your ideas are going to change too. Listen to Skyline Drive and the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcast or wherever you get your podcasts.
