0:00.0	Hey Better Babes. I'm Jonathan Van Ness and welcome back to getting better. Today we're going to
0:06.4	uncharted territories that involve a chart and it's astrology, honey. Now, you'll notice that I looked
0:12.6	at my card right before I said that. I always get astrology and astronomy confused. So much so
0:18.8	that my freshman year in college, I signed up for an astronomy class
0:21.9	thinking it was astrology and it was the hardest math problems and I like non-jokingly failed.
0:28.9	Like I got an F. Not good at it. But astrology, honey, I want to learn. I haven't gone back. I need to

1:31.3	Oh my gosh. This is a very interesting question to start because I would never find myself
1:38.9	in an elevator telling someone I'm an astrologer and trying to convince them to believe in astrology.
1:45.8	Like in no universe, pun intended, would that happen?
1:50.0	Because I am not an evangelist.
1:53.5	I am not someone, it is not my mission to convince people that astrology is real.
