In this episode, I have a conversation with my good friend Angela Grace all about Astrology! We printed out our birth charts from https://www.astro.com/ and we discuss the similarities and differences in our charts, as well as the different archetypes of the signs. She breaks down some of the basics for me, and does a beautiful job of explaining the overarching themes in astrology and how they're related to astronomy. We can nerd out on all the sciencey aspects of this topic, so if you’re into that, you’ll love this episode!

To see the charts we talked about, check out the YouTube version of this Episode: https://youtu.be/Q5Uhq7RdVpg
