I 0:00:54.961 --> 0:00:57.961 mean Matt was saying before, like he's into Wika, he's 0:00:58.001 --> 0:01:01.401 reading a book about gypsy Like, how was that? 0:01:01.441 --> 0:01:05.241 Matt? Does that well explained or barely touches. 0:01:04.921 --> 0:01:09.001 The Yeah, that that is all me in the nutshell. 0:01:09.241 --> 0:01:11.921 There's not much more to me than that. There's a 0:01:12.000 --> 0:01:14.761 whole lot there. I've been so into this stuff since 0:01:14.840 --> 0:01:16.720 I was like five years old. This is very much, 0:01:17.441 --> 0:01:21.281 very much. Yeah, what my makeup is? What about you? 0:01:21.321 --> 0:01:24.041 When did you kind of start getting into spiritualism. Was 0:01:24.041 --> 0:01:25.041 it from a child age? 0:01:25.041 --> 0:01:27.921 Well? No, that's like what's got me so interested? Straight away? 0:01:27.961 --> 0:01:29.561 You're like, you know, I started this when I was 0:01:29.601 --> 0:01:31.360 five years old, and I was about to say, how 0:01:31.360 --> 0:01:32.241 did you get into this? 0:01:32.560 --> 0:01:33.961 I was more of a late bloomer. 0:01:34.000 --> 0:01:37.201 I grew up in the church, so it was very 0:01:37.321 --> 0:01:41.121 much something that like was intuitively within me, and then 0:01:41.161 --> 0:01:43.241 I had to sort of do a lot of questioning 0:01:43.280 --> 0:01:47.001 as I got older. But so since five years old, 0:01:47.200 --> 0:01:49.121 has this just always been what you've sort of done 0:01:49.121 --> 0:01:50.681 and how you've felt and how you've connected. 0:01:51.121 --> 0:01:53.681 I'll tell you what always And I also grew up 0:01:53.721 --> 0:01:54.841 in the church, but I was a bit of a 0:01:54.841 --> 0:01:57.761 double agent. I guess I love that, but it's kind 0:01:57.761 --> 0:02:00.641 of like I think also it was kind of like, 0:02:01.281 --> 0:02:04.041 it's funny, I've been studying my like psychology of like 0:02:04.201 --> 0:02:06.001 why I am, how I am and things like that, 0:02:06.041 --> 0:02:08.561 and I just think, so, so here's what happened that 0:02:08.601 --> 0:02:11.321 I realized. So I was five years old, I kind 0:02:11.321 --> 0:02:15.161 of knew I was different from everyone else, and so 0:02:16.281 --> 0:02:19.881 I kind of turned to shows and TV shows and 0:02:19.921 --> 0:02:22.841 movies and parts of popular culture about people that were different, 0:02:23.281 --> 0:02:25.201 one of them being charmed for example, which is very 0:02:25.201 --> 0:02:27.721 on brand RP. Channon Dollity, and I kind of became 0:02:27.800 --> 0:02:30.361 obsessed with that, obsessed with witches. There was a lot 0:02:30.401 --> 0:02:31.921 of that stuff in the nineties. There was you know, 0:02:32.041 --> 0:02:35.281 hopeus Pocus, there was the craft, practical magic, all that stuff. 0:02:35.361 --> 0:02:37.881 Kind of became obsessed with that, obsessed with casting spells 0:02:37.921 --> 0:02:40.881 and the things like that, and from there that was 0:02:40.921 --> 0:02:44.401 my gateway that got me into everything else. And the 0:02:44.441 --> 0:02:46.801 gay thing that I was saying is because when you're 0:02:46.960 --> 0:02:50.081 young and you feel like you're kind of different from 0:02:50.161 --> 0:02:52.361 everyone else, you kind of get to a point where 0:02:52.361 --> 0:02:55.041 you're just like, all right, well, bucket, I'm already kind 0:02:55.041 --> 0:02:57.240 of like on the outskirts of society. I might as 0:02:57.240 --> 0:02:59.801 well just go full weird with it. And I kind 0:02:59.800 --> 0:03:02.000 of did. Like it wasn't an intentional choice, it was 0:03:02.041 --> 0:03:04.361 just a psychological I think that's kind of how it 0:03:04.401 --> 0:03:06.841 all happened. So my point is, so the gateway for 0:03:06.960 --> 0:03:09.881 me was definitely like wicker like when it comes to 0:03:09.960 --> 0:03:12.921 like spells, crystals, all that kind of tarot. I had 0:03:12.921 --> 0:03:14.720 my first taro deck at ten years old. It was 0:03:14.761 --> 0:03:17.561 like a coloring in deck. I was very obsessed. And 0:03:17.601 --> 0:03:20.161 then yeah, from there. I kind of yeah, I was 0:03:20.201 --> 0:03:23.400 always interested in astrology, but in terms of full on 0:03:23.561 --> 0:03:28.441 becoming obsessed reading everything, becoming an astrologer, that happened in 0:03:28.441 --> 0:03:31.161 the last ten years. I'd say when I started working 0:03:31.201 --> 0:03:34.841 at Dolly magazine also rip, yeah, I. 0:03:34.761 --> 0:03:38.041 Was reci thank you for everything. 0:03:38.401 --> 0:03:41.121 I was a little Dolly left off. Yes, I was 0:03:41.121 --> 0:03:43.081 the entertainment writer. But while I was there, I was 0:03:43.161 --> 0:03:44.601 kind of like, hey, what are your thoughts on, you know, 0:03:44.681 --> 0:03:47.201 bringing back There was a section that used to be 0:03:47.361 --> 0:03:51.041 we had archives there in the magazine of like all 0:03:51.081 --> 0:03:53.641 the dollies since time began. So can you imagine what 0:03:53.681 --> 0:03:55.801 a dream that was walking in and there's just wall 0:03:55.841 --> 0:03:58.720 to walls, just like dollies from Dolly magazines from now 0:03:58.801 --> 0:04:01.361 until like when you know it's inception. And I was 0:04:01.401 --> 0:04:03.801 just reading through like the Naughty's issues with you know, 0:04:04.321 --> 0:04:06.440 home and o wast on the cover and things like that, 0:04:06.561 --> 0:04:08.641 and I saw that there was a section in there 0:04:08.681 --> 0:04:11.761 called Dolly Destiny, and I was like, that had just 0:04:11.801 --> 0:04:14.681 a bunch of expels and horoscopes and things like that, 0:04:14.721 --> 0:04:16.601 and I was like, can we bring this back? Would 0:04:16.641 --> 0:04:18.561 you guys mind? And they were like, yeah, no, let's 0:04:18.561 --> 0:04:20.121 do it. And we did it and it popped off, 0:04:20.241 --> 0:04:22.281 and that kind of gave me the confidence. And since then, 0:04:22.401 --> 0:04:26.041 every other publication that I've worked at I've kind of 0:04:26.401 --> 0:04:30.840 fused you know, writing about horoscopes and with her type 0:04:30.841 --> 0:04:33.880 stuff into the job. So that's what I did at 0:04:33.880 --> 0:04:36.520 Pedestrian as well. Yeah, eventually I got to a prot 0:04:36.521 --> 0:04:38.761 where I was like, Okay, I've been collecting all these 0:04:38.801 --> 0:04:42.041 astrology books and witchy books. It's time to I'm going 0:04:42.041 --> 0:04:43.440 to see if I can get one of my own 0:04:43.481 --> 0:04:46.201 off the ground. And I did. Here it is out 0:04:46.241 --> 0:04:49.441 of Spot the Star Signs. Yeah, it came out last year, 0:04:49.440 --> 0:04:52.640 so it's about astrological compatibility and so. But yeah, but 0:04:52.681 --> 0:04:55.281 to answer your question, to this day, I'm still just 0:04:55.320 --> 0:04:57.641 as interested in all of it. But yeah, it's kind 0:04:57.641 --> 0:05:00.761 of just been like a lifelong not so much a mission, 0:05:00.801 --> 0:05:03.201 but just kind of like a lifelong interest that it's 0:05:03.281 --> 0:05:06.001 just there's something where there's just so much which, so 0:05:06.121 --> 0:05:09.320 much information, like it's never ending, and like each month 0:05:09.361 --> 0:05:11.761 I'll just become obsessed with a random different part of 0:05:11.801 --> 0:05:14.200 It's like, oh, I might study you know, palm reading 0:05:14.241 --> 0:05:16.440 this month, and then the next week, you know, I'll 0:05:16.440 --> 0:05:18.681 be interested in I'll go back to Taro. It's like 0:05:18.801 --> 0:05:20.921 there's just so much there and it's just and it's 0:05:20.961 --> 0:05:24.321 not even just the fascination with you know, oh it's 0:05:24.320 --> 0:05:26.440 so cool it can predict the future. It's also just 0:05:26.761 --> 0:05:29.440 it's you know, it's cool, it's magic. It works that. 0:05:29.481 --> 0:05:32.321 It's more so that it's like, I love how it 0:05:32.361 --> 0:05:36.720 can benefit people's lives and provide answers and a sense 0:05:36.761 --> 0:05:40.241 of understanding. And you know, there is just so much 0:05:40.561 --> 0:05:43.681 mystery and confusion and like why is this happening to me? 0:05:43.880 --> 0:05:46.841 And that's an astrology can provide the answer to that, 0:05:46.961 --> 0:05:49.281 as can you know, you know, psychics and all other 0:05:49.281 --> 0:05:50.761 different things. And I think that's beautiful. 0:05:51.521 --> 0:05:53.960 Can you talk about because I love how you just said, 0:05:54.001 --> 0:05:56.520 like it's been something that's in your life for just 0:05:56.721 --> 0:06:00.681 forever and it's just like this constant like information just 0:06:01.001 --> 0:06:03.241 drinking up. Can you think of the ways that it's 0:06:03.401 --> 0:06:04.561 really helped you? 0:06:05.201 --> 0:06:09.161 Honestly? It's oh so like I have this book it's 0:06:09.161 --> 0:06:10.961 called a Book of Shadows, where you write in there 0:06:11.001 --> 0:06:15.440 different like spells and chants and information on anything that 0:06:15.481 --> 0:06:18.561 you'd need in your life. And I started it in 0:06:18.601 --> 0:06:21.161 two thousand and five and I'm still adding to it 0:06:21.161 --> 0:06:22.921 to this day and not just adding to it, but 0:06:24.001 --> 0:06:26.161 I'll look, there'll be a day where, you know, as 0:06:26.201 --> 0:06:28.801 an example, maybe I'm going for a promotion and I'll 0:06:28.801 --> 0:06:31.200 go back to this book with all this this information 0:06:31.241 --> 0:06:33.880 that I've gathered from different sources that like I started 0:06:33.921 --> 0:06:37.320 when I was, you know, a teenager, and find information 0:06:37.521 --> 0:06:40.681 in there that will help me different like spells and 0:06:40.721 --> 0:06:42.241 things like that. Like to this day, I'm like, you know, 0:06:42.281 --> 0:06:44.281 if i'd need a promotion or anything like that, I'll 0:06:44.440 --> 0:06:46.880 use spells that I wrote in there when I was 0:06:46.921 --> 0:06:49.161 like a kid. And so it's just so crazy. It's 0:06:49.161 --> 0:06:51.640 like past me talking to present me. But yeah, so 0:06:51.721 --> 0:06:53.641 that's so that's kind of been really helpful, and it's 0:06:53.721 --> 0:06:55.561 it's one of those things where it's kind of like 0:06:56.281 --> 0:06:59.081 my thing with all kinds of spirituality is like, let's 0:06:59.241 --> 0:07:02.041 just say to the skeptics, let's just say, if you know, 0:07:02.320 --> 0:07:05.400 if they think it's BS and whatever else, the point 0:07:05.561 --> 0:07:07.961 is it's the power of positive thinking and it puts 0:07:08.121 --> 0:07:11.641 positive intentions into the universe. And whoever the person is, 0:07:11.681 --> 0:07:14.801 that's kind of like, you know, utilizing this stuff, it 0:07:15.721 --> 0:07:18.041 makes them feel positive and feel like something's happening. And 0:07:18.081 --> 0:07:21.201 it gives them some encouragement. And so that's exactly what 0:07:21.361 --> 0:07:23.761 it does. Whenever I feel lost, I kind of turn 0:07:23.841 --> 0:07:26.201 to it. It gives you a sense of purpose as 0:07:26.241 --> 0:07:29.721 your all religions. I think that's you know, whether you're Catholic, Muslim, 0:07:29.881 --> 0:07:32.161 no matter what. Like it's kind of like, you know, 0:07:32.441 --> 0:07:34.840 it's a sense of purpose and believing that there's something 0:07:34.881 --> 0:07:38.521 out there that's beyond you, because it's a terrifying thought 0:07:38.521 --> 0:07:40.241 to think that, you know, the buck stops with you. 0:07:40.321 --> 0:07:42.201 It's like, no, there are angels, and there are spirits, 0:07:42.241 --> 0:07:44.921 and there are guys, and so it's all just guidance 0:07:45.001 --> 0:07:47.121 letting you know that you're not alone, and you know, 0:07:47.241 --> 0:07:49.921 everything has a purpose. When shit things happen, you think 0:07:49.921 --> 0:07:52.081 why is this happening to me? And it's like there's 0:07:52.081 --> 0:07:55.441 always a reason. The universe is, you know, putting you 0:07:55.481 --> 0:07:57.841 on this path, you know, giving you all these trials 0:07:57.881 --> 0:08:01.681 and tribulations for a particular reason. And all this kind 0:08:01.761 --> 0:08:04.801 of stuff helps you to you know, realize that there 0:08:04.841 --> 0:08:07.361 is a path and the purpose. But also if you're 0:08:07.401 --> 0:08:09.801 ever stuff, you can call upon your guide, so you can, 0:08:10.201 --> 0:08:12.521 you know, do this chance and it will kind of 0:08:12.561 --> 0:08:15.321 help you along your path. So it's it's honestly, it's 0:08:15.361 --> 0:08:18.281 it's it's kept me going since I was a kid 0:08:18.361 --> 0:08:21.281 kind of thing, all different chapters of my life. I 0:08:21.321 --> 0:08:23.961 can think of times where I've relied on this kind 0:08:24.001 --> 0:08:26.601 of stuff from like high school, dealing with issues that 0:08:26.681 --> 0:08:28.841 I you know that I might have had there to 0:08:28.961 --> 0:08:32.361 as I said, you know, promotions, love spells, things like that. 0:08:33.001 --> 0:08:35.280 My partner, who have been with for six years, like I, 0:08:35.401 --> 0:08:38.081 you know, that was all love magic. You're got you 0:08:39.441 --> 0:08:42.361 rose crystals. You know. Literally he's so into it now 0:08:42.361 --> 0:08:44.721 as well that I'm teaching. I'm teaching lots of things 0:08:44.761 --> 0:08:48.801 we do like readings all the time, but yeah, crystals 0:08:48.801 --> 0:08:50.721 and love rose coorts crystals and things like that. I 0:08:50.801 --> 0:08:54.161 used to use those quite a lot. So yeah, So honestly, 0:08:54.201 --> 0:08:55.601 it's one of those things that's just like for every 0:08:55.641 --> 0:08:58.761 facet of my life, it's like it's been really helpful, 0:08:58.801 --> 0:09:01.081 Like as I said, every facet of my life, but 0:09:01.121 --> 0:09:02.961 also every chapter of my life from when I was 0:09:03.001 --> 0:09:07.481 young to now. Yeah, it's just it's been my main 0:09:07.681 --> 0:09:11.401 constant that's kind of kept me going. I like, it's 0:09:11.441 --> 0:09:13.481 funny to listeners, I sound like a mad man, but 0:09:13.561 --> 0:09:16.281 it's kept me saying strangely, you know, because it's given 0:09:16.281 --> 0:09:19.561 me kind of a clear path and a direction. And yeah, 0:09:20.641 --> 0:09:23.081 and that's my thing. I'm like, I just encourage everyone 0:09:23.121 --> 0:09:25.681 to dabble into it, even a little bit. You don't 0:09:25.681 --> 0:09:28.081 have to go full on make it your life's mission 0:09:28.201 --> 0:09:31.521 like me. But it's like it's it really is there 0:09:31.561 --> 0:09:35.201 when you need it, and it's not dark or scary. 0:09:35.441 --> 0:09:37.361 It's supposed to help you and guide you. And like 0:09:37.401 --> 0:09:39.801 with astrology, my big thing with astrology is that it's, 0:09:39.841 --> 0:09:42.801 like I write in my book, it's a series of 0:09:42.921 --> 0:09:46.241 cool clubs that everyone belongs to because it's kind of 0:09:46.281 --> 0:09:49.961 like with like no one is, no one's left out, 0:09:50.161 --> 0:09:52.201 everyone has a star sign. Yeah you know what I mean, 0:09:52.201 --> 0:09:54.281 like no one, no one's left out, no one's like, 0:09:54.281 --> 0:09:56.161 oh this is you know, with a lot of it's 0:09:56.161 --> 0:09:58.961 not like, for example, with Catholicism, for example, it's like 0:09:59.161 --> 0:10:01.201 we love everyone except for the gays, and except for 0:10:01.241 --> 0:10:03.361 people of other religions and except for this and except 0:10:03.361 --> 0:10:06.121 for that. No. Astrology is like everyone belongs and not 0:10:06.161 --> 0:10:08.401 only do you belong, but we're going to tell you 0:10:09.201 --> 0:10:11.401 just you know, astrologers are religion. But I'm just saying 0:10:11.401 --> 0:10:13.801 in terms of like, you know, the way of thinking. 0:10:13.881 --> 0:10:16.161 It's going to tell you like how to get along 0:10:16.201 --> 0:10:18.121 with all the other people that are around you, and 0:10:18.161 --> 0:10:20.721 why you are how you are calling you out for 0:10:20.761 --> 0:10:23.281 your negative traits but saying yes, of course you're like 0:10:23.321 --> 0:10:25.801 that because you're a Capricorn or because you're a Scorpio 0:10:25.841 --> 0:10:28.641 or whatever it may be, but also celebrating your beautiful 0:10:28.641 --> 0:10:31.001 traits and saying that you know, yes, yes you may 0:10:31.081 --> 0:10:32.921 do this, but you also do this and that's great 0:10:32.961 --> 0:10:37.801 and it offers purpose and understanding and yeah, and I 0:10:37.841 --> 0:10:38.561 think that's beautiful. 0:10:38.681 --> 0:10:40.881 Yes, I think that was so well said. 0:10:40.961 --> 0:10:45.121 Everything about how you just like explained astrology just then 0:10:45.201 --> 0:10:49.921 felt like such a penny drop, especially like the inclusivity 0:10:49.961 --> 0:10:52.761 of it, because that's so true, and just the ability 0:10:53.201 --> 0:10:58.121 to recognize the shadow parts of yourself and because like 0:10:58.121 --> 0:10:59.761 that's the hard thing right now, and that's what I 0:10:59.801 --> 0:11:02.801 really loved when I was starting to, you know, when 0:11:02.841 --> 0:11:06.201 on my journey of like dabble, I you know, learned 0:11:06.201 --> 0:11:10.281 about an astrology and my astrology and it really was 0:11:10.401 --> 0:11:13.281 just like, Okay, this feels like I'm just getting to 0:11:13.401 --> 0:11:17.201 like read a book about myself and like really see 0:11:17.201 --> 0:11:20.081 it in front of me and understand and like, you know, an, 0:11:20.161 --> 0:11:24.001 I'm an Aquarius with a Leo moon and a cancer 0:11:24.041 --> 0:11:27.841 rising and a Capricorn stellion, So just to give you 0:11:28.041 --> 0:11:34.761 an idea, So I was like, very it's quite obvious, 0:11:35.961 --> 0:11:38.361 and I'm like reading I remember looking into sort of, 0:11:38.441 --> 0:11:40.401 you know, the more shadow parts of all of these 0:11:40.761 --> 0:11:46.041 different elements of me, and it was really confronting in 0:11:46.321 --> 0:11:48.961 quite a beautiful way, because I think what it does 0:11:49.401 --> 0:11:53.361 is it takes away the shame it kind of makes you. 0:11:53.401 --> 0:11:54.681 And it's sort of like the more that. 0:11:54.641 --> 0:11:58.121 You learn about astrology, the more compassionate and understanding you 0:11:58.201 --> 0:12:02.081 have for other people, because you're like, no one's fucking perfect. 0:12:02.121 --> 0:12:04.361 We all have these real shadow parts to ourselves and 0:12:04.401 --> 0:12:07.921 we can also of grow from those parts vesselves. 0:12:07.961 --> 0:12:08.841 And also how. 0:12:08.681 --> 0:12:11.281 Can I judge someone when really what I'm just like, 0:12:11.321 --> 0:12:13.521 it's more about the fact that they're just really different 0:12:13.561 --> 0:12:16.121 to me, and that's really beautiful and I can just 0:12:16.241 --> 0:12:19.601 learn to understand them more as opposed to just like 0:12:19.721 --> 0:12:22.041 fuck you, why why don't you behave like I do? 0:12:22.161 --> 0:12:23.841 Because you talk about in your book, you talk a 0:12:23.881 --> 0:12:27.841 lot about relationships and compatibility, which is something we haven't 0:12:27.841 --> 0:12:31.521 spoken at all on this podcast about in relation to astrology. 0:12:31.881 --> 0:12:33.801 Can you talk about that a little bit more? Because 0:12:33.841 --> 0:12:37.201 some people have no fucking idea about astrology listening to. 0:12:37.161 --> 0:12:41.161 This I can do. Okay, So this is going to 0:12:41.201 --> 0:12:45.561 blow people's minds. There's no such thing as a doomed relationship. 0:12:45.561 --> 0:12:49.441 In my opinion, all relationships, like all, everyone has the 0:12:49.521 --> 0:12:54.280 possibility to make a relationship work. The most compatible partners 0:12:54.521 --> 0:12:58.881 will still have issues because as human beings, like it's 0:12:59.001 --> 0:13:01.041 natural where there are two human beings, there will be issues, 0:13:01.081 --> 0:13:02.681 you know what I mean? Like, it's just as simple 0:13:02.721 --> 0:13:05.401 as that, no matter how you know much of charts 0:13:05.441 --> 0:13:07.761 overlap and whatever have you. But even if, for example, 0:13:07.761 --> 0:13:10.361 like in my book, I say, even if I kind 0:13:10.361 --> 0:13:13.280 of got a scale that like ranks like how compatible 0:13:13.321 --> 0:13:15.401 you are and even the ones that are incompatible, that 0:13:15.441 --> 0:13:17.521 doesn't mean that when you go on a date with 0:13:17.721 --> 0:13:20.721 a person that you know astrology says is incompatible with you, 0:13:20.761 --> 0:13:22.761 and you find out they're sign and it's you know, 0:13:22.801 --> 0:13:24.681 an opposing sign to yours, that doesn't mean that you 0:13:24.681 --> 0:13:27.121 should get up and walk out. That just means that, okay, 0:13:27.121 --> 0:13:30.881 there will be some difficulties to expect that but it's 0:13:30.921 --> 0:13:33.041 you know, it's never impossible. There's always a way to 0:13:33.081 --> 0:13:35.841 work around it. Because again, this like it's not saying 0:13:36.241 --> 0:13:38.561 you're doom stay away from each other, everyone's staying. There's 0:13:38.561 --> 0:13:42.521 segregated groups. Absolutely not, it's saying it's just letting you 0:13:42.601 --> 0:13:45.921 know that, like all relationships, you will have issues. These 0:13:46.001 --> 0:13:48.681 are what the issues are likely to be, and here's 0:13:48.801 --> 0:13:51.561 how you can work with them, and and and kind 0:13:51.561 --> 0:13:55.041 of you know, be prepared and and manage those those 0:13:55.081 --> 0:13:58.761 sorts of issues. So it's kind of it's acknowledging you know, 0:13:58.961 --> 0:14:02.601 everyone's light and shade and who you know will get 0:14:02.641 --> 0:14:05.761 along and who won't. But it's no relationship chips are 0:14:05.761 --> 0:14:08.241 doomed kind of thing, like like you can always make 0:14:08.241 --> 0:14:11.521 it work. There's always there's always a way. But yeah, 0:14:11.521 --> 0:14:14.761 but it also just can be really really helpful into 0:14:15.561 --> 0:14:20.001 because yeah, people find that the thing is non believers 0:14:20.001 --> 0:14:23.361 of astrology have really come around to how accurate it 0:14:23.881 --> 0:14:27.641 is through the through dating, through dating and realizing like, 0:14:27.721 --> 0:14:29.561 oh my god, I was warned that I would have 0:14:29.641 --> 0:14:32.481 issues with Gemini men, and I bloody well do. It's 0:14:32.521 --> 0:14:36.521 like it's so fascinating that that's what's made people come 0:14:36.561 --> 0:14:39.081 around when you apply it to your love life. I 0:14:39.081 --> 0:14:41.161 think people kind of get skeptical when you apply it 0:14:41.201 --> 0:14:43.241 to your day to day life. And I blame that 0:14:43.321 --> 0:14:46.161 on things like, you know, kind of crappy newspaper horoscopes. 0:14:46.241 --> 0:14:49.921 But when it comes to compatibility, that's what's made astrology 0:14:50.001 --> 0:14:53.761 have this boom. Like so I've noticed, for I tell 0:14:53.761 --> 0:14:55.241 the story of the time. But so when I started 0:14:55.321 --> 0:14:57.361 Pedestrian in twenty eighteen, and as I said to you, 0:14:57.361 --> 0:14:59.721 whenever I go to a workplace, I think, how can 0:14:59.761 --> 0:15:02.601 I turn this website into astrology dot com? No objective? 0:15:02.761 --> 0:15:06.641 But no, but I did pick no, no, I'm so technical, 0:15:06.761 --> 0:15:08.441 But what are your thoughts on me just rolling out 0:15:08.521 --> 0:15:10.841 some like regular horoscopes every now and then they said 0:15:10.841 --> 0:15:12.641 go for it, and so I started doing that and 0:15:12.681 --> 0:15:14.721 it was kind of it was kind of fresh. I 0:15:14.721 --> 0:15:16.641 think they've written about like mercury retrade in the past, 0:15:16.681 --> 0:15:19.241 but never just like you know, regular horoscopes anyway, and 0:15:20.201 --> 0:15:23.281 it's funny like back then, so twenty eighteen, so six 0:15:23.401 --> 0:15:25.761 years ago. I think honestly, when it comes to the 0:15:25.801 --> 0:15:28.481 good thing about working online rather than print is that 0:15:28.521 --> 0:15:31.721 you can see how many people are clicking on your articles. 0:15:31.721 --> 0:15:33.201 And you can also see how they feel about the 0:15:33.281 --> 0:15:36.361 articles because they're leading comments obviously on the post, which 0:15:36.401 --> 0:15:39.121 is actually helpful. As scary and annoying as it can be, 0:15:39.441 --> 0:15:42.001 it's very helpful to gauge what people are into and 0:15:42.041 --> 0:15:44.161 what they're not and where the conversations go. And I 0:15:44.241 --> 0:15:47.441 noticed that the commentary, it would be sixty percent of 0:15:47.441 --> 0:15:49.841 people being like, yes, astrology tag and their friends, Oh 0:15:49.881 --> 0:15:51.441 look this, look what it said about you, Look what's 0:15:51.441 --> 0:15:53.801 said about me. And then there was like forty percent 0:15:53.841 --> 0:15:56.121 of people being like, what the fuck is happened you pedestrian? 0:15:56.121 --> 0:15:58.441 You've lost the plot? Yeah kind of thing. But we 0:15:58.521 --> 0:16:02.961 persevered and from then until now, Honestly, I can't tell 0:16:02.961 --> 0:16:04.841 you I write about astrology on there every week. I 0:16:04.881 --> 0:16:07.721 cannot remember the last time I had a negative comment. 0:16:07.881 --> 0:16:10.641 Like people are just full on like into it now 0:16:10.681 --> 0:16:13.321 because that when you think about it, the last few years, 0:16:13.401 --> 0:16:16.801 it's taken over social media. Ye, it's because there are 0:16:16.841 --> 0:16:19.521 so many apps that people have like co Star and 0:16:19.561 --> 0:16:21.881 the pattern like Channing Tatum has the pattern like who 0:16:21.961 --> 0:16:24.041 did known? Like So my point is just like straight 0:16:24.281 --> 0:16:27.201 men even who wouldn't typically be into it into it's 0:16:27.201 --> 0:16:32.081 like it's become a lot more respected and received. And yeah, 0:16:32.161 --> 0:16:35.081 people like genuinely take it seriously. But that's my thing 0:16:35.121 --> 0:16:37.321 as well. I always say, I write to my book, 0:16:37.521 --> 0:16:40.121 it's a guide, it's not gospel. Like take it on 0:16:40.481 --> 0:16:44.041 as like a guide to help you, but don't. Yeah, 0:16:44.081 --> 0:16:46.601 there is a concern with people swinging too far the 0:16:46.641 --> 0:16:50.081 other way and reading it like it is the gospel 0:16:50.121 --> 0:16:53.921 and being like, Okay, we don't. We're not compatible. Therefore 0:16:53.961 --> 0:16:57.481 I'm writing you off or having preconceived notions about some 0:16:57.481 --> 0:17:01.721 someone because typically when you meet someone, let's say, if 0:17:01.721 --> 0:17:03.361 you do ask them what their sign is and they 0:17:03.521 --> 0:17:05.281 tell you, oh, I'm a capcorn, and then you all 0:17:05.321 --> 0:17:08.721 these assumptions about them. Yeah, but so that's their sun sign. 0:17:08.801 --> 0:17:12.041 You haven't considered the entire chart. So maybe typically you 0:17:12.041 --> 0:17:13.960 don't get along with sun signs, But what about the 0:17:13.961 --> 0:17:17.120 moon sign that's your emotions? You know, things like that. 0:17:17.281 --> 0:17:21.281 In terms of relationships, there's also the venus sign, which 0:17:21.321 --> 0:17:24.001 is how you love, the mercury sign and how you communicate. 0:17:24.360 --> 0:17:26.561 So there's so many different pieces of the puzzle. You 0:17:26.600 --> 0:17:29.321 can't a You shouldn't write people off at all, because 0:17:29.360 --> 0:17:31.201 you know you don't want to make judgment some people, 0:17:31.201 --> 0:17:34.080 but b you certainly shouldn't based on just one sign. 0:17:34.120 --> 0:17:36.160 It's a guy to kind of help you. It is 0:17:36.160 --> 0:17:38.321 a good indication, and so it can be helpful and 0:17:38.360 --> 0:17:40.640 do take that on board, and you know I certainly do, 0:17:40.721 --> 0:17:44.041 but it's just not it's more of a FYI. This 0:17:44.120 --> 0:17:46.561 is what astrology says. But go ahead and see how 0:17:46.561 --> 0:17:49.321 your relationship goes. And you know you can at least 0:17:49.360 --> 0:17:53.080 you've been forewarned. All I'm saying is it shouldn't be gospel. 0:17:53.120 --> 0:17:55.080 It's a guide, yes, one hundred percent. 0:17:55.120 --> 0:17:58.121 And I feel like just the relationship side of that, 0:17:58.241 --> 0:18:01.361 Like that's not even just romantic relationships, that's friendships. 0:18:01.400 --> 0:18:03.681 That's colleagues, yes, and like. 0:18:03.640 --> 0:18:06.520 In regards to like communicating and even for people listening, 0:18:06.600 --> 0:18:09.521 like your kids as well. You know, I've found that 0:18:09.801 --> 0:18:14.961 understanding my kids' astrology charts and kids are like it's 0:18:15.001 --> 0:18:18.360 so funny because like adults, you kind of grow up 0:18:18.761 --> 0:18:21.561 moving away from yourself a lot, because you know, we're 0:18:21.561 --> 0:18:23.001 trying to survive into society. 0:18:24.080 --> 0:18:27.201 Children aren't there. Yeah, they just are, so they're pretty 0:18:27.241 --> 0:18:28.761 accurately their. 0:18:28.721 --> 0:18:32.681 Charts a depletion of the sign. Yeah, yeah, Okay, it's 0:18:32.721 --> 0:18:35.801 really funny to bring this up, this whole conversation about 0:18:35.921 --> 0:18:39.321 children and their astrologies. It's so interesting that one of 0:18:39.400 --> 0:18:42.600 my best friends, she and her partner, they're both quite 0:18:42.640 --> 0:18:45.761 into astrology, and so they were almost like tailoring when 0:18:45.761 --> 0:18:48.401 they were going to conceive around the sign that they 0:18:48.441 --> 0:18:52.001 wanted their child to be bloody works. They were like, 0:18:52.160 --> 0:18:54.640 they were like, Okay, we're going to have a watertime baby. 0:18:54.681 --> 0:18:58.401 We specifically want it to be a scorpio cancer. I'm 0:18:58.400 --> 0:19:00.761 a scorpio, I'm her best friend. And guess what the 0:19:00.921 --> 0:19:06.121 child's birth date is going to be my exact birthday. 0:19:06.201 --> 0:19:09.281 So it worked whatever their plan was, they timed it 0:19:09.281 --> 0:19:11.681 out perfectly. But it's just such a funny like new 0:19:11.721 --> 0:19:15.200 age parenty thing where it's like that has become, you know, 0:19:15.481 --> 0:19:17.880 like just something that's even considered and for example, speaking 0:19:17.880 --> 0:19:20.681 of like new age, like where it's come. So I'm 0:19:20.761 --> 0:19:22.600 now a hiring manager. I have been for the for 0:19:22.600 --> 0:19:24.801
