WEBVTT - Introducing: Skyline Drive

0:00:01.600 --> 0:00:04.120
<v Speaker 1>I wanted to do a show on astrology, so first

0:00:04.120 --> 0:00:06.400
<v Speaker 1>of all, it is in your destiny to do this.

0:00:07.040 --> 0:00:10.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm mong asiaticular, and to be honest, I don't believe

0:00:10.920 --> 0:00:15.840
<v Speaker 1>in astrology, at least I don't think I do. But

0:00:15.880 --> 0:00:18.160
<v Speaker 1>from the moment I was born, it's been a part

0:00:18.160 --> 0:00:21.239
<v Speaker 1>of my life, part of my family's story for as

0:00:21.280 --> 0:00:22.599
<v Speaker 1>long as anyone can remember.

0:00:23.040 --> 0:00:25.919
<v Speaker 2>In India, it's like smoking. You might not smoke, but

0:00:26.000 --> 0:00:27.640
<v Speaker 2>you're going to get secondhand astrology.

0:00:27.880 --> 0:00:30.360
<v Speaker 1>And lately I've been wondering if the universe has been

0:00:30.400 --> 0:00:33.120
<v Speaker 1>trying to tell me to stop running and pay attention,

0:00:33.800 --> 0:00:37.720
<v Speaker 1>because maybe there is magic in the stars if you're

0:00:37.720 --> 0:00:40.960
<v Speaker 1>willing to look for it. So I rounded up some friends.

0:00:41.240 --> 0:00:44.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm Mary and I'm a Cancer, I'm Miitra and I'm

0:00:44.800 --> 0:00:48.480
<v Speaker 1>a Leo, I'm Markham and Gemini. We're the most hated sign,

0:00:48.600 --> 0:00:52.640
<v Speaker 1>which is weird because work great and although we had

0:00:52.720 --> 0:00:55.960
<v Speaker 1>no idea what we were getting into, we dove headfirst

0:00:56.000 --> 0:01:00.480
<v Speaker 1>into the global obsession with astrology and it got weird fast.

0:01:01.040 --> 0:01:06.280
<v Speaker 1>Tantric curses, major League Baseball teams, canceled marriages, K pop,

0:01:06.840 --> 0:01:11.880
<v Speaker 1>fortune telling cows, and you wouldn't believe the tension between

0:01:11.920 --> 0:01:13.360
<v Speaker 1>believers and skeptics.

0:01:13.840 --> 0:01:16.360
<v Speaker 2>I got into astrology trying to disprove it.

0:01:16.640 --> 0:01:19.160
<v Speaker 1>I said, he's a Gemini, he's restless, and he goes

0:01:19.440 --> 0:01:22.000
<v Speaker 1>he's turning down one hundred million. Help.

0:01:22.440 --> 0:01:24.959
<v Speaker 2>Is the president's interest in astrology something.

0:01:24.800 --> 0:01:25.920
<v Speaker 1>For us to be concerned about.

0:01:26.160 --> 0:01:28.840
<v Speaker 2>When people say that astrology is a science and has

0:01:29.080 --> 0:01:32.679
<v Speaker 2>physical roots in the stars, it's like, oh, no, it doesn't,

0:01:33.160 --> 0:01:35.080
<v Speaker 2>but it's true the way a poem is true.

0:01:35.360 --> 0:01:38.080
<v Speaker 1>Along the way, I met people with really big questions

0:01:38.360 --> 0:01:40.480
<v Speaker 1>and astrologers who tried to answer them.

0:01:41.040 --> 0:01:43.520
<v Speaker 2>Will I ever believe in anything? I had a question about,

0:01:43.560 --> 0:01:46.959
<v Speaker 2>like who's going to diverse? Because there's an answer that

0:01:47.000 --> 0:01:47.400
<v Speaker 2>I want?

0:01:48.320 --> 0:01:50.480
<v Speaker 1>Because I feel like I'm at the brink of something.

0:01:50.760 --> 0:01:52.160
<v Speaker 2>I just don't belto something.

0:01:52.680 --> 0:01:56.440
<v Speaker 1>I discovered far flung beaches where women astrologers roam, and

0:01:56.520 --> 0:02:00.760
<v Speaker 1>tiny shops where centuries of predictions are kept hidden in faults.

0:02:01.000 --> 0:02:05.720
<v Speaker 2>See what I've done lately? You want it pass?

0:02:08.400 --> 0:02:10.040
<v Speaker 1>But just when I thought I had a handle on

0:02:10.080 --> 0:02:14.639
<v Speaker 1>this sweet and curious show about astrology, my whole world

0:02:14.680 --> 0:02:15.600
<v Speaker 1>came crashing down.

0:02:16.080 --> 0:02:19.320
<v Speaker 2>You planned this under an eclipse. Eclipse energy can be

0:02:19.520 --> 0:02:24.840
<v Speaker 2>very volatile. Things happening unexpectedly. Can't really see it coming. Oh,

0:02:25.040 --> 0:02:28.519
<v Speaker 2>situation doesn't look good for father. There is risk to

0:02:28.680 --> 0:02:30.520
<v Speaker 2>father and.

0:02:30.600 --> 0:02:36.400
<v Speaker 1>My whole view on astrology it changed. Whether you're a

0:02:36.400 --> 0:02:40.040
<v Speaker 1>skeptic or a believer. Give me a few minutes, because

0:02:40.120 --> 0:02:43.720
<v Speaker 1>I think your ideas are going to change too. Listen
