0:00.0	Welcome to Ghost of a Podcast. I'm your host, Jessica Lignato. I'm an astrologer, psychic medium,
0:06.6	and animal communicator. And I'm going to give you your weekly horoscope and no bullshit,
0:11.2	mystical advice for living your very best life. Layla, welcome to the podcast. What would you
0:19.9	like reading about?
0:26.0	So what I wrote in, I'm just going to go ahead and read it.

1:47.0	Exactly.
1:47.7	Chaos. I'm so sorry.
