3217: In The Stars w/ Julia Schachter

NASA Updates Star Signs for the First Time In 2,000 Years

The stars have shifted due to the wobbling effect of the Earth caused by the sun and the moon over the last two to three thousand years.

The sky is different than what the ancient astrologers viewed. Now, the constellations are off by about a month.
...
There are thirteen zodiac signs.
Actually, that is not a new revelation. Ancient Babylonian astrologers discovered these thirteen constellations yet omitted Ophiuchus so the signs will be divided equally into twelve due to the 360-degree path of the sun.

All that besides the obvious fact that it's all bullshit anyway. Fun bullshit to giggle over but still bullshit.

This episode reminded me of the Robert Alvarez episodes and how much fun they were. Any chance of having him back? Would be awesome to hear his reactions to how much things have changed since the last time he was on. I’m assuming Keith is still a silver dragon even after all these years.

Heeey Aries with Taurus rising over here, just like Keith!

I'm a skeptical mystic, or a mystical skeptic. Either way I think Astrology and Tarot are fun tools to look at situations differently and maybe have an approach to an issue or problem I didn't think about previously. It's good for self work, if I pull a card about a situation that isn't what I'd think of myself, it forces me to look at it from a different perspective. So, for me it's not about fortune-telling or having my life predicted by the stars, it just helps me have different perspectives. And it's fun.

If only life were so simple as interpreting a chart based on DOB. Astrology is just like religion;a yearning to know.
