The Modern Astrology Obsession, Explained

But once they opened the door to personal empowerment

Rare Earth

Belize! I went on vacation to an island paradise with some friends, but of course couldn't help but make an episode.

It's another video without Francesco, but luckily this time I had the help of some high school students: Preston Smith and Aldair Rosato. Thanks, guys! I appreciate you joining me on this mini-adventure.

Now You See It

Thank you to my patrons for making this video possible.

In Aliens, James Cameron drastically changed Ripley's character, and what he did reveals quite a bit about his film-making style, his thoughts on gender, and even the contrasting style of Ridley Scott, the director of the first Alien.

How James Cameron Changed Ripley

Helen here with a confession: I'm an Aquarius,

meaning I'm idealistic and chronically late.

You're probably thinking, Why the hell would I care?

with hundreds of Scorpio memes on social media

Meanwhile, astrology apps raked in a chill

Skeptics of astrology, like astronomer Carl Sagan,

have fairly pointed out the lack of scientific evidence

at the moment of my birth affect me, then or now?

 But that, to us, is probably the least interesting thing

Whether astrology works isn't the question.

The question is, in our science and tech-happy era,

what makes the spiritual craft of astrology

so endlessly compelling to so many people?

on How Astrology Captivated the Modern World.

about our sponsor for today's video, SelfDecode.

Unlike letting the stars tell you who you are,

SelfDecode is a service that uses actual science

to help you get insights about your genes

Through a combination of AI and machine learning,

After about six weeks, my wellness reports arrived.

And while they confirmed a lot of things I already expected,

I was surprised at just how much my genes

could tell me about my health and my personality.

that of all the people SelfDecode tested,

But I didn't expect my high-key fear of basically everything

to show up in my genes as strongly as it did.

that are associated with high coffee consumption

and the gene that's associated with drinking less water,

the company gives you actionable insights

So, for example, apparently people with my variant

of the BDNF gene see a lot of improvement

So maybe I'll start going for a run or hit the gym

the morning before I have to get on a podcast.

and even on potentially helpful supplements

that can help you optimize your personal health.

That said, SelfDecode is not a diagnostic tool,

but it does give you some genuinely useful insights

when it comes to taking care of yourself.

If you're ready to learn about your genome

Ancient Babylonians were reading the night sky

astrology developed in tandem with astronomy

like who to invade or what flavor ice cream to eat.

astrology became heavily tied to medicine,

and the job title physician astrologer was a real thing.

Astrology was even taught at universities across Europe

Test your pronunciation!

“empowerment”
