talking with Joe Gleason and Adam Ellen Boss about why horoscopes are still

So hey guys, thanks for joining me today.

Hey Chris.

Thanks for having us.

Hey, so yeah, the genesis of this episode today is that as people who listen to the last forecast episode,

know, I've been thinking about doing a set of horoscopes for a while now, and I always thought

to actually get engaged in doing horoscope columns and that was really encouraging to me as well and I ended up actually finally doing one and putting out a series of video horoscopes for each rising sign at the beginning of July

on my YouTube channel, which is at YouTube.com slash the astrology school.

So a lot of stuff came up, a lot of ideas, and a lot of challenges came up in the process of doing my first

horoscope column, and I wanted to talk to both of you and sort of process that and talk about the process of what happened, some of the things that I ran into that were unexpected,
