I'm doing okay. I'm a little bit concerned because we have to put our house on the market

0:22.7

because we found a spider upstairs. Oh my god. We didn't find a spider. I don't know what we will be. It's it's somewhere now upstairs and God forbid. We walk back upstairs and we don't see it and we don't know where it went and it will we will have to move. We have to move.

0:41.7

I'm so curious about today's episode. That's what I want to say. I'm very curious today. Sister tell the pod squad what we're talking about today and we can do hard things.

0:55.7

We are talking about astrology. We are talking about astrology. Okay. Here's what I stand on this astrology thing.

1:07.7

So I come from a religious background actually many religious backgrounds since I'm such a seeker. I have found many religions to to fold into one or two of them have been sort of serious narrow dogmatic religions that did not end up working in a way that made me feel like I could be both held and free.

1:29.7

Because of this I am wary. I would say usually I mess up that word and say I am weary which I feel wary and both. Yeah. And both.

1:40.7

We're in weary. I am weary and wary of things that are religious but in my heart I am still a believer. I don't know what the hell that means. I just know my heart says yes.

1:55.7

I'm not sure. Okay. So the balance I have found from my type of personality is that I am a skeptical wary believer. Okay, which means that I believe in everything a little bit and nothing all the way.

2:15.7

Is it? Thank you, baby. Okay. So what that means is that I really believe that there is some truth and beauty and help and fun in all of the many different ways and paths that people follow and and believe and I will learn from everybody.

2:36.7

There's something we can learn from everybody and every path and every faith. I just won't be part of anything that requires exclusivity. So like if you tell me that you're you found the way you're right and everybody else is wrong.

2:50.7

And in order for you to share with me, I just need to be come part of your like religious pyramid scheme. Then that's a no for me.

2:59.7

That's a no for me dog. But if you say to me, hey, I found this cool thing that helps me be human and maybe you'll find something helpful here to.

3:12.7

Then great. You'll try. You'll try. Okay. You'll hear about it. Right. So so what I'm trying to say is as for me an hour podcast, we will learn from everyone.

3:24.7

Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Right. It's interesting. Yeah. I would describe. I would describe myself as zodiac curious. I just feel like.

3:37.7

I mean, the gravitational pull of the moon controls 321,000 cubic miles of ocean tides every day. Yeah.

3:46.7

And if it can do that, it seems at least plausible that I can have some influence on me. Oh, that's good. I like that. Okay.

3:53.7

And it also just feels like it doesn't believing in, you know, the moon and the stars and an infinite universe is no more ridiculous than many of the other things that we purport to believe in.

4:07.7

So I'm not saying I believe it. I'm just saying that we should be intellectually honest about admitting that a lot of the other stuff we believe is actually woo woo, woo, we are.

4:17.7

Then this, I mean, at least you can freaking see it with your eyes, the moon and the stars and everything like you actually see it.

4:25.7

26% of Americans believe in astrology, but 42% of us, including Abby believe in ghosts.

4:33.7

So I just think it's just as absurd or legitimate as all the other shit we believe in.

4:44.7

So let's just learn a little bit. I love that. That's so true. And not for nothing. Astrology just as a concept over history. I mean, for the centuries of meticulous records that astrologers have kept were what was used to demonstrate that the earth moves around the sun.
