I wanted to do a show on astrology, so

0:03

first of all, it is in your destiny to

0:06

do this. I'm mongayshatic, and

0:08

to be honest, I don't believe

0:10

in astrology, at least

0:13

I don't think I do. But from

0:16

the moment I was born, it's been a part

0:18

of my life, part of my family's story

0:20

for as long as anyone can remember.

0:23

In India, it's like smoking. You might not

0:25

smoke, but you're going to get secondhand astrology.

0:27

And lately I've been wondering if the universe

0:30

has been trying to tell me to stop running and

0:32

pay attention, because maybe

0:34

there is magic in the stars if

0:37

you're willing to look for it. So

0:39

I rounded up some friends. I'm Mary

0:41

and I'm a Cancer. I'm Mitra

0:44

and I'm a Leo. Markom

0:46

and Gemini were the most hated sign,

0:48

which is weird because we're great

0:51

and although we had no idea what we

0:53

were getting into, we dove head first

0:55

into the global obsession with astrology

0:58

and it got weird fast.

1:00

Tatrick curses major League

1:03

Baseball teams, canceled marriages,

1:05

K pop fortune telling

1:07

cows, and

1:10

you wouldn't believe the tension between believers

1:12

and skeptics. I got into astrology

1:15

trying to disprove it. I said, it's

1:17

a Gemini. He's restless, and he goes

1:19

he's turning down one hundred million.

1:21

Help. Is the president's interest in astrology

1:24

something for us to be concerned about. When

1:26

people say that astrology is a science and

1:28

has physical roots in

1:30

the stars, it's like, oh, no, it doesn't,

1:33

but it's true the way a poem is true.

1:35

Along the way, I met people with really big

1:37

questions and astrologers who tried

1:39

to answer them. Will I ever believe

1:41

in anything? I had a question about, like who's going

1:44

to diverse? Because there's

1:46

an answer that I want. Because

1:48

I feel like I'm at the blink of something, I

1:50

just don't point to something. I discovered

1:53

far flung beaches where women astrologers

1:55

roam, and tiny shops where centuries

1:58

of predictions are kept hidden in

2:00

faults. See what I'm dying,

2:05

you want to, Tassie. But

2:08

just when I thought I had a handle on this suite and

2:10

curious show about astrology, my

2:13

whole world came crashing down. You

2:16

clanned this under an eclipse. Eclipse

2:18

energy can be very volatile. Things

2:21

happening unexpectedly. Can't

2:23

really see it coming. Oh, situation

2:25

doesn't look good for father. There is

2:27

a risk to father and

2:30

my whole view on astrology get

2:34

changed. Whether

2:36

you're a skeptic or a believer, give

2:38

me a few minutes because I think

2:40

your ideas are going to change. To listen
