1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,280
Haley's going to move on. 
She's going to do other artistic

2
00:00:03,280 --> 00:00:06,680
projects, and they're going to 
get better and better as her 

3
00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:09,000
life goes on in general, and 
she's going to get into all 

4
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:12,200
aspects of stuff. 
But this project, well, it's 

5
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:15,000
dear to my heart. 
Someone coming around and doing 

6
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:17,880
a film. 
And how many documentaries have 

7
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:20,960
you seen in astrology? 
You'll always see a National 

8
00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:25,240
Geographic Wildlife Special, but
no astrologers in the wild. 

9
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:31,160
We haven't had any kind of media
attention outside of the most 

10
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:36,120
tabloid, superficial stuff, you 
know, a syndicated column in the

11
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:39,720
newspapers, an occasional 
astrologer who would get on the 

12
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:41,920
radio. 
Right now, we're in the Era 

13
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:44,360
podcast. 
You could actually have the 

14
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:46,880
following. 
But in our age, no, it was 

15
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:49,880
always the laugh track. 
There was never anything serious

16
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:53,600
going on. 
So Haley's water in the desert. 

17
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:57,400
Can somebody come in camera and 
they're going to record the 

18
00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:00,600
things that are dear to your 
heart and your profession? 

19
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:04,040
Hey, it gets all the support we 
possibly can give it. 

20
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:08,840
So I look at the work from not 
as Haley's artistic expression, 

21
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:14,800
but as literally a documentary 
of an era that will pass, you 

22
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:16,960
know? 
And it isn't just us old farts 

23
00:01:16,960 --> 00:01:19,080
dropping dead or anything like 
that. 

24
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:24,040
It's the idea that astrology 
never got developed, and it is 

25
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:26,240
going to be developed, that's 
the thing. 

26
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:29,280
And when astrology starts 
getting developed, it's not 

27
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:32,640
going to look anything like what
we've learned in our lifetimes. 

28
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:38,200
Paley's documentary might be the
last of an old worldview of the 

29
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:41,400
way we actually practiced, of 
the way we actually conducted 

30
00:01:41,400 --> 00:02:01,840
our lives. 
Hello and welcome to Embodied 

31
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,520
Astrology, a podcast. 
And Learning Community, where we

32
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:07,640
explore the growing edges of 
astrology and its intersections 

33
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:10,800
with healing, arts, activism, 
relationships and personal 

34
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,480
growth. 
This month's special episode is 

35
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:14,920
coming out with a Taurus New 
Moon. 

36
00:02:15,640 --> 00:02:18,720
Taurus is one of the signs most 
often associated with money and 

37
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:20,960
wealth. 
It's also a sign that for the 

38
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:23,720
last eight years has hosted the 
outer planet Uranus. 

39
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:27,640
Earlier this season, Uranus left
Taurus and moved into Gemini, 

40
00:02:27,640 --> 00:02:29,520
where it will now stay for the 
next 7 years. 

41
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:33,240
Uranium energy brings upsets, 
innovations and awakening 

42
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:36,360
wherever it goes. 
While Uranus was in Taurus, 

43
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:38,800
economies were disrupted for all
kinds of reasons. 

44
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:41,880
And as Uranus goes into Gemini, 
a sign associated with 

45
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:45,560
currencies and exchange, we can 
definitely expect to see even 

46
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:48,160
more volatility and 
unpredictability in the markets.

47
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:52,320
In this episode, I interviewed 
director Haley Gorigas and the 

48
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:55,640
astrologer and founder of 
Astrolabe, Gary Christian about 

49
00:02:55,640 --> 00:02:58,320
Star Cash, their recently 
released documentary on 

50
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:01,960
financial astrology. 
Our conversation was intriguing 

51
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:04,800
and broad scoped. 
We spoke about the reputation of

52
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:08,240
astrology across time, 
speculated on possible futures 

53
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:11,440
for both astrology and the 
financial market following the 

54
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:13,920
recent Jupiter, Saturn 
conjunction and the movement of 

55
00:03:13,920 --> 00:03:17,520
Pluto and Uranus from Earth to 
air science, and Gary and Haley 

56
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:19,480
shared their hopes and 
intentions for the release of 

57
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:21,760
this film. 
If you're interested in watching

58
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:24,880
their documentary, you can find 
it now at the Star Cash website,

59
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:27,680
LinkedIn our show notes, and 
keep an eye out for its premiere

60
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:28,840
on streaming. 
Sites soon. 

61
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:35,920
OK, Why don't you start with the
same question that you just 

62
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:40,080
started with? 
Talking about our the various 

63
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:44,560
backgrounds, why am I running 
with Haley on this documentary 

64
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:46,960
and stuff? 
Haley could have chosen any of 

65
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:50,040
the other folks that were in the
movie to run with it. 

66
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:56,120
Well, because Haley and I got 
along really well and she feels 

67
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:59,640
comfortable with me. 
But myself, my personal 

68
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:06,320
background is I am the principal
for Solar Fire, which is a large

69
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:09,400
piece of software that's out 
there, Astro World. 

70
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:14,960
So they've been utilizing me as 
a front person for astrology in 

71
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:16,640
general. 
Is that correct? 

72
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:18,040
Haley, would you go along with 
that it? 

73
00:04:18,399 --> 00:04:22,040
Is extremely correct. 
And also I'm not an astrologer 

74
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:25,760
and so there's a filmmaker 
interested in astrology and 

75
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:29,960
probably maybe know more about 
astrology than maybe like the 

76
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:32,440
layperson just through the 
process. 

77
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:37,360
I think it would be remiss of me
to talk about the film and talk 

78
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:40,480
about astrology with, you know, 
the knowledge base that I have. 

79
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:44,240
You know, as you were talking, I
just pulled your sinistry, Haley

80
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:47,040
and Gary, just to look at your 
chart together, which I imagine 

81
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:52,040
you probably have done as well. 
And yeah, I just, I see so many 

82
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:55,600
contacts that feel like deep 
resonance. 

83
00:04:56,320 --> 00:05:01,720
Haley's Jupiter is conjunct with
Gary's Moon and Haley's Mercury 

84
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:06,280
is on Gary's ascendant and her 
part of fortune is conjunct his 

85
00:05:06,280 --> 00:05:09,320
venous Uranus conjunction and 
Cancer. 

86
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:13,960
And I see a a Pluto sun 
opposition, Haley's Pluto 

87
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:19,560
opposing Gary's sun and and Mars
and Venus sextile together her 

88
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:22,120
moon on his mid heavens. 
So, you know, there's a lot of 

89
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:27,120
contacts in your relationship 
that feel like you were destined

90
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:30,920
to find each other maybe on on 
some level before we even start 

91
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:34,640
to talk about, you know, the 
film as its own kind of entity 

92
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:37,120
or project. 
I wonder if each of you might 

93
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:39,720
talk a little bit about what 
it's been like to know each 

94
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:41,560
other and and be in 
relationship. 

95
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:45,680
And maybe Gary, would you start?
What was your first encounter 

96
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,280
with Haley like, and what's it 
been like in the time that 

97
00:05:48,280 --> 00:05:51,440
you've known her? 
Well, she cold called me and 

98
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:54,400
said basically that she's going 
to be in the area and that could

99
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:57,840
she come by and start to film, 
you know, that she was going to 

100
00:05:57,840 --> 00:06:01,560
be picking up materials. 
There was no real rhyme or 

101
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:05,800
reason basically, but she ran 
around with a camera all the 

102
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:09,720
time that she visited Astrolabe 
and then various times was 

103
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:13,320
coming back. 
She started six years ago on 

104
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:15,840
this thing. 
You know, I've changed during 

105
00:06:15,840 --> 00:06:19,520
the course in the filming. 
I got a lot older, but basically

106
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:27,080
she went through the field as it
was as old astrologers had our 

107
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:31,720
own particular world going on 
and then this world came upon 

108
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:34,200
us. 
You know, it's this big interest

109
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:38,880
in astrology began to to focus. 
I felt that Haley running around

110
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:42,280
with her camera and stuff was 
capturing a world that will 

111
00:06:42,280 --> 00:06:45,280
change, that will go away, you 
know. 

112
00:06:45,280 --> 00:06:51,440
So from my perspective, it's 
great to see that particular 

113
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:55,400
point of view, that knowledge 
and everything else codified. 

114
00:06:55,520 --> 00:07:00,280
She, within the film itself, she
starts talking about financial 

115
00:07:00,280 --> 00:07:04,440
astrology in general and it's an
interesting segue. 

116
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:07,840
In other words, she's filming us
old astrologers and this and 

117
00:07:07,840 --> 00:07:09,440
that. 
Finding out what actually 

118
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:13,880
constitutes authentic astrology 
with as it's practiced and then 

119
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:17,360
segueing into, well, how are 
people practically working with 

120
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:19,920
it? 
Which is why the 1st place we 

121
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:23,880
begin to filter to is to look at
the financial astrologers. 

122
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:27,600
We'll look at people in general 
and see what role astrology 

123
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:30,600
plays and their movements in the
market. 

124
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:34,280
Now, this is something that all 
of us in the field have 

125
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:38,560
considered that the idea that 
business people, people that 

126
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:41,240
work in the markets, they're 
really pragmatic. 

127
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:44,320
They don't care where things are
derived. 

128
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:50,000
They don't have an ethical base 
with which to make their 

129
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:52,160
decisions. 
Their decisions are made on 

130
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:55,080
whether it's going to work and 
make them money and that sort of

131
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:58,440
stuff. 
Watching her roll that in was 

132
00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:02,600
something I wasn't even aware of
while she was filming it, you 

133
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:03,120
know? 
Oh wow. 

134
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:05,880
Yeah. 
So Haley, when you started this 

135
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:09,080
project, were you intending to 
make a documentary about 

136
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:11,840
financial astrology or were you 
really just kind of asking 

137
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:13,800
deeper questions about what is 
astrology? 

138
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:20,840
I started wanting to just make a
film about astrology and then as

139
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:27,240
I got deeper into it, it proved 
very difficult to create like a 

140
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:32,520
coherent strand of thoughts 
about just astrology because 

141
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:35,880
astrology is not a monolith. 
In the same way in the film, we 

142
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:40,240
say the market is not a monolith
and there are so many different 

143
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:44,320
subfields, personalities. 
Everyone, you know, everyone 

144
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:46,840
thinks kind of is. 
Another line from the film, Gary

145
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:48,360
says this. 
Everyone thinks what they're 

146
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:50,280
doing is the best thing in the 
world. 

147
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:52,840
So yeah, it became difficult 
because I always. 

148
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:56,080
I wondered, you know, my 
background is in like on the 

149
00:08:56,080 --> 00:09:00,560
industry side in film and 
development and, and sales of 

150
00:09:00,560 --> 00:09:02,920
documentaries. 
And I wondered why there weren't

151
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:06,360
more documentaries about 
astrology because it's such a 

152
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:08,760
popular subject. 
There's so many people into 

153
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:11,480
astrology. 
You would think, wow, there 

154
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:14,800
should be kind of like the movie
about astrology and there isn't.

155
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:17,160
And that's not because people 
haven't tried. 

156
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:20,000
You know, Netflix has tried, 
Hulu has tried. 

157
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:24,520
They've all tried. 
And what I found is that you 

158
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:28,400
either make something for 
astrologers, which then goes way

159
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:32,320
over people's heads who are not 
astrologers, or you make 

160
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:35,520
something incredibly poppy and 
surface level. 

161
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:40,200
And so I was like, how can I 
maybe bridge these worlds? 

162
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:45,200
And then I realized that when I 
would talk to people who didn't 

163
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:47,840
know anything about astrology, 
when you told them that you 

164
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:52,280
could use astrology to time 
financial markets, that is what 

165
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:55,200
paying their interest. 
You know, they didn't care about

166
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:57,640
a film about astrology. 
They were like, oh, really? 

167
00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:01,960
You can do that with astrology. 
And so I realized that was my 

168
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:07,200
end to potentially broaden the 
demographics who would watch the

169
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:11,160
film and be interested in the 
film outside of just people who 

170
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:14,200
are, you know, fans of astrology
or who use astrology. 

171
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:17,200
Huh. 
I I want to come back to that in

172
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:19,360
a second. 
But before I do, how did you 

173
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:21,480
find Gary and what drew you to 
him? 

174
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:24,680
As you know, this first point of
contact with astrologers. 

175
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:31,520
I found his name through the 
community of astrologers and 

176
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:35,360
obviously Astrolabe. 
And at first, I was maybe going 

177
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:40,400
to, you know, early iteration of
the film was I was going to go 

178
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:44,680
to different astrology schools 
and astrology based companies. 

179
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:49,520
And that was very early on. 
And yeah, Gary was just in that,

180
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:52,960
in that community. 
So just luck, yeah. 

181
00:10:53,680 --> 00:10:57,680
Your your personal planet 
contacts must have, yeah. 

182
00:10:58,040 --> 00:10:59,400
Totally. 
Compelled you? 

183
00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:03,640
So a moment ago you said when 
you told people that astrology 

184
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:07,000
could help predict the markets, 
then something pinged for them 

185
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,400
and then they became interested?
Yes. 

186
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:13,920
And in the description of Star 
Cache of your film, it says the 

187
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:16,880
film reveals how our obsession 
with controlling the future 

188
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:20,920
through market predictions and 
horoscopes alike disconnects us 

189
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:23,640
from an ancient wisdom about 
cycles and our place in the 

190
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:26,160
cosmos. 
In seeking certainty, have we 

191
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:29,280
lost something more profound 
about what it means to be part 

192
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:32,800
of the universe? 
And more importantly, does it 

193
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:35,880
work? 
I'm kind of curious about those 

194
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:39,440
last two sentences. 
You know what's what's more 

195
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:44,760
important about whether or not 
astrology works for predicting 

196
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:48,880
the markets versus Have we lost 
something profound about what it

197
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:50,960
means to be part of the 
universe? 

198
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:54,640
I think they're both important. 
They're all really interplayed. 

199
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:58,600
Does it work? 
Just speaks to people needing 

200
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:02,240
to, you know, have an 
understanding of how the world 

201
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:05,680
works, right? 
Unfortunately, we do live in a 

202
00:12:05,680 --> 00:12:10,160
time where we are materialists. 
And I'm not talking about money.

203
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:13,160
I'm just talking about, you 
know, people need to understand 

204
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:17,720
the material of things. 
And so I think one of the 

205
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:21,800
reasons we've lost our place and
the broader fabric of the 

206
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:27,320
universe is because of this 
needing to know how things work.

207
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:30,320
So it's a little cheeky sentence
play. 

208
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:34,600
Yeah, no, as you were talking, I
can feel how within modernity, 

209
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:37,000
in the world that we live in, 
there's such an illusion of 

210
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,720
control. 
And then when people find out 

211
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:42,520
that, oh, something works and 
it's bigger than me and it has 

212
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:45,960
this much larger intelligence 
behind it, there can be a sense 

213
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:49,160
of awe and attraction and and 
curiosity and personal 

214
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:51,720
expansion. 
And then there can also be this 

215
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:54,200
way of approaching it that is 
also extractive. 

216
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:56,520
Like I'm going to figure out how
to use that for my own. 

217
00:12:56,520 --> 00:13:00,400
Gain, yeah. 
And and I will say I think not 

218
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:05,240
all, but a lot of people 
interested in astrology really, 

219
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:09,720
from what my observation go into
it because they're interested in

220
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:13,440
themselves. 
And so whether or not there's a 

221
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:17,760
breakthrough beyond the South, 
once you get deeper into 

222
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:23,760
astrology is really just based 
on the individual, you know, and

223
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:28,000
whether or not people then see 
that, oh, there is, you know, 

224
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:30,560
yeah, something bigger than than
yourself. 

225
00:13:30,560 --> 00:13:33,560
And it's, it's funny because I 
think, you know, when astrology 

226
00:13:33,560 --> 00:13:37,120
was really popular and just part
of the, you know, fabric of 

227
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:41,120
everyday life in antiquity, you 
didn't really have atheists, 

228
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:45,320
right, or people that didn't 
believe in some greater divine 

229
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:48,800
power. 
And so it's sort of because of 

230
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:53,080
that, I think people were able 
to approach astrology or see 

231
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:57,440
astrology is just a fact of 
nature because it was a system 

232
00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:00,160
beyond themselves. 
And there already was this 

233
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:04,360
belief that God's things outside
of themselves bigger than 

234
00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:07,040
themselves. 
So believing quote UN quote in 

235
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:09,560
astrology was sort of, you know,
commonplace. 

236
00:14:09,560 --> 00:14:13,480
It just of course, right there 
are things we don't understand. 

237
00:14:13,680 --> 00:14:17,920
And so I think it's a lot harder
for people in modernity to 

238
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:20,720
believe in something like 
astrology because it is harder 

239
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:24,800
for people in eternity to 
believe in something bigger than

240
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:27,960
themselves. 
So then the same scrutiny that, 

241
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:32,600
let's say religion gets now, or 
the idea of God or something 

242
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:36,280
bigger things like astrology 
get, because they're two sides 

243
00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:37,800
of the same coin in a lot of 
ways. 

244
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:40,560
Like it takes faith to some 
degree, right? 

245
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:43,560
You ask any skeptic of 
astrology, and I've encountered 

246
00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:48,760
a lot and they're just like, 
yeah, but how does this work? 

247
00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:52,440
Or why would this work? 
And oh, it's just placebo effect

248
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:57,280
or it's confirmation bias. 
You know, you read this about a 

249
00:14:57,280 --> 00:15:01,960
Leo and you know, I'm a Virgo, 
but I can relate to the the Leo 

250
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:03,360
characteristics. 
You know, there's always like 

251
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:06,120
the gotcha moment. 
It's really hard for the modern 

252
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:10,880
mind to comprehend something 
that is like truly divorced of 

253
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:15,120
material reason. 
Yeah, I, I'm curious about that 

254
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:18,680
from your perspective. 
I know that you in your bio, it 

255
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:21,600
says you grew up in Los Angeles 
and you went to 12 years of 

256
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:26,080
Catholic school, which is part 
of what you credit with shaping 

257
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:29,520
an ongoing fascination and 
questions about belief in blind 

258
00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:31,600
faith. 
And then your first feature 

259
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:34,840
documentary, you're examining 
digital mythology. 

260
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:36,600
Is that correct? 
Yeah. 

261
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:38,760
Yeah. 
And then I'm looking at your 

262
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:40,080
chart. 
I have your chart up and you're 

263
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:44,200
a Gemini, son. 
That's a focal point to a yard 

264
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:47,240
with Pluto and Scorpio and then 
Neptune, Uranus conjunct. 

265
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:50,760
All of the outer planets are 
retrograde in Capricorn. 

266
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:55,600
And that feels to me like you 
have a kind of direct, deeply 

267
00:15:55,600 --> 00:16:00,440
embodied, lived experience of 
understanding how stories shape 

268
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:04,640
the world and probably a 
perspective on the stories that 

269
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:08,040
people are telling that, you 
know, is this kind of Gemini 

270
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:11,080
side eye a little bit sometimes,
you know, where you're like, OK,

271
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:14,560
that's the story you're telling.
And I'm sure that even, you 

272
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:17,280
know, dealing with astrology 
skeptics or atheists or 

273
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:20,800
something like that, you're also
able to see that people have the

274
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:22,520
stories that they're still 
attached to. 

275
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:26,880
I mean, nobody's absolutely. 
You're a storyteller, and your 

276
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:31,360
work with filmmaking is also to 
tell stories into culture. 

277
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:34,800
I'm wondering, you know, what do
you feel is the ultimate power 

278
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:37,400
of a story? 
Like what does it do to the 

279
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:39,880
human consciousness and what's 
its function? 

280
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:47,200
Big question for me, I think 
it's there's two strands and I 

281
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:52,200
think they work together, which 
is I think a good story lets you

282
00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:58,360
escape yourself. 
But paradoxically, I do think in

283
00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:02,160
escaping yourself through that 
story, you actually arrive at 

284
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:07,160
truths about yourself that you 
will relate to. 

285
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:11,200
But I think the function of, 
like, hearing a story that takes

286
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:15,040
you out of yourself is actually 
the thing that brings you closer

287
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:19,480
to something in your own life 
that you may not have seen if 

288
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:23,480
you weren't taken to this place 
where there's like, an eagle eye

289
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:26,440
view. 
And it's, you know, Hollywood's 

290
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:30,880
very Neptunian, right? 
So what is like the LA chart, 

291
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:32,320
Gary? 
Do you know it's like you 

292
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:35,160
haven't? 
Looked at it in a long time, but

293
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:39,040
yes, you're correct about the 
Neptunian influences everywhere,

294
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:41,200
yes. 
And so there's like, yeah, 

295
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:45,240
there's escapism, but in that 
escapism, I mean, it's like you 

296
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:47,280
think of Neptune, I think of 
dreams. 

297
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:52,680
And I think there's nothing 
better than a dream revealing 

298
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:55,720
something within yourself that 
your conscious mind can't 

299
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:59,240
totally comprehend. 
So I think escapism is important

300
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:05,000
in understanding your own story.
Yeah, agreed. 

301
00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:08,560
Thank you for that. 
Gary, I'm curious about you and 

302
00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:11,240
your bio. 
On the Astrolabe website, it 

303
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:13,160
says that you've been an 
astrologer since you're a 

304
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:15,560
teenager. 
You're one of the very few 

305
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:20,440
people to be awarded ABA degree 
with an interdisciplinary major 

306
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:25,040
in astrology, and you've been 
practicing now since 1969. 

307
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:28,280
What got you into astrology? 
You know, were you there also 

308
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:31,200
trying to understand yourself 
like Haley was just talking 

309
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:32,680
about? 
A lot of people come to it with.

310
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:35,840
Actually, not at all. 
It looks like it was one of 

311
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:40,280
those things that it was kind of
destined for me as a child. 

312
00:18:40,360 --> 00:18:45,040
One of the first organizations I
belong to was a club called the 

313
00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:50,440
Junior Astronautical Society. 
I ground a telescope when I was 

314
00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:52,520
12 years old, an 8 inch 
telescope. 

315
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:57,040
So at that time we would watch 
movies of rockets blowing up and

316
00:18:57,040 --> 00:19:00,200
that sort of stuff was basically
supported by NASA. 

317
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:08,240
And, and as I got older at 
Woolworth's were the weighing 

318
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:11,880
machines that had the little 
scrolls for the sun signs, you 

319
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:13,240
know, that would come with your 
weight. 

320
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:15,200
I don't know if you've ever seen
one of those, but they were 

321
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:18,880
actually pretty interesting. 
And our local columnist in the 

322
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:23,400
newspaper was Sidney Omar. 
Sidney Omar, for a public 

323
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:27,280
astrologer, was very good 
because he would track the moon 

324
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:29,480
phases. 
It would get everybody aware of 

325
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:32,000
what astrological combinations 
were working. 

326
00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:36,840
So his column was half, here's 
what's going on in the sky and 

327
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:39,840
half, oh, sunshine, astrology, 
here's what we're going to do, 

328
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:45,920
you know, but really fast. 
By the time I was 17, I was 

329
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:48,680
going to school in New York. 
I was going to School of Visual 

330
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:52,480
Arts and learning film. 
And I had a teacher that 

331
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:57,920
basically was using astrological
material as an excuse within the

332
00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:02,720
class and I confronted with it. 
Because he told me one day that,

333
00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:06,960
well, we're going to have a day 
off because Saturn is going into

334
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:09,800
Taurus and I'm an Aries. 
I'm really happy now. 

335
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:11,760
And I said, what's that all 
about? 

336
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:15,320
So I ran down to the New York 
Astrology Center on 7th St. in 

337
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:18,520
New York City, which had 
basically just opened up. 

338
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:22,760
And at the time they sold me 
$120.00 worth of books, which in

339
00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:25,840
1967 was a lot of a lot of 
money. 

340
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:29,640
But I went home and began to 
work with horoscopes. 

341
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:34,040
I began to teach myself how to 
how to cast a chart and began to

342
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:37,720
look at the charts and look at 
my friends and begin to see them

343
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:40,680
as one and the same. 
So I went back to the New York 

344
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:44,920
Astrology Center and began to 
volunteer and worked with them 

345
00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:47,920
for a number of years until I 
went to college, then used them 

346
00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:53,560
as a base to get my degree, and 
then after college worked there 

347
00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:57,880
for several years until Rob Hand
and myself started Astro 

348
00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:00,960
Astrographic Services, which 
became Astrolabe. 

349
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:06,160
So we introduced the idea of 
computerized astrology into the 

350
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:08,640
world. 
Our only competitor at the time 

351
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:12,480
was Michael Erlewine at Matrix. 
You know, we were the early, we 

352
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:16,240
were the characters. 
We were all students of Neil 

353
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:19,680
Mickelson who started Astro 
Computing Services, which was 

354
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:24,080
the 1st service organization for
astrologers. 

355
00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:27,800
It's from there that things like
the time zone corrections began 

356
00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:30,160
to get recorded. 
You know, astrologers were the 

357
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:33,560
only people concerned with time 
zone changes. 

358
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:37,600
And we realized that whatever it
was we were going to program was

359
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:39,880
what people were going to copy 
going forward. 

360
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:43,920
You know, so you know that, hey,
if somebody writes a piece of 

361
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:46,320
code now, what are they going to
compare their code to? 

362
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:49,040
Are they going to go back to the
original books, recreate 

363
00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:52,800
everything like an alchemical 
laboratory and, and, and make 

364
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:55,160
all the calculations correct? 
No, they're going to go back and

365
00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:58,280
check it against early software 
that was developed. 

366
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:01,760
So we knew we had to get it 
right, and we did. 

367
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:09,600
But the idea was really this was
that astrology by 19901995 had 

368
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:14,840
gotten fairly inauthentic. 
A lot of folks were basically 

369
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:18,760
doing material that had no basis
or background. 

370
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:24,240
Meanwhile, astrology itself had 
gotten one of the most important

371
00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:28,880
things to, to, to promote it, 
and that was the Gauckland 

372
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:32,120
material. 
You know, the, the Gulk lawns. 

373
00:22:32,360 --> 00:22:35,040
You have to really understand 
that the Gulk lawns, what they 

374
00:22:35,120 --> 00:22:40,400
really did was establish that 
it's incontrovertible that what 

375
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:42,880
goes on in the sky is going to 
affect life on Earth. 

376
00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:48,280
Particularly the idea of what 
humans choose in their life on 

377
00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:51,560
Earth gives the idea of that. 
This idea of destiny becomes 

378
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:55,200
very important, right? 
Because what the Gaul Claws 

379
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:58,120
tested on was what you chose as 
a profession. 

380
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:02,000
And this is something that you 
think you choose well. 

381
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:05,760
But how would it be locked up in
the sky as a sure thing? 

382
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:08,720
2 million to one. 
Now, the Gaul Claws were 

383
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:11,320
attacked several times. 
They were attacked by a Belgian 

384
00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:13,680
group. 
Finally, they were on the front 

385
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:17,360
page of the New York Times since
1976. 

386
00:23:17,360 --> 00:23:21,400
They were attacked by 186 Nobel 
Prize winning scientists saying 

387
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:25,520
astrology is magical thinking 
and and going to destroy our 

388
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:30,200
society. 
Front page, 3 columns, 3 

389
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:32,080
headlines. 
They only say serve that thing 

390
00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:36,280
for war. 
And of course, when they went, 

391
00:23:36,360 --> 00:23:39,320
when they were hip to the idea 
that, hey, this guy's called 

392
00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:44,560
Kwan and his wife put together a
proof of astrology, we'll throw 

393
00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:47,840
that out the window. 
And the guy hired a guy named 

394
00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:52,040
Dennis Rollins to do the 
conductor research. 

395
00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:56,280
And Rollins concluded the gulf 
bonds were absolutely correct. 

396
00:23:56,360 --> 00:23:58,040
There was not a thing wrong with
their study. 

397
00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:01,560
So the guys that were doing it 
was a committee for the 

398
00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:06,120
investigation of the paranormal,
a very well funded group of 

399
00:24:06,120 --> 00:24:09,320
people. 
Well, they tried to fudge the 

400
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:11,440
data. 
They changed the data, they 

401
00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:12,800
changed the conditions of the 
data. 

402
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:17,680
And Dennis Rollins blew the 
whistle and vindicated the 

403
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:20,760
Gauklands. 
You know, these guys had to go 

404
00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:22,000
with their tail between their 
legs. 

405
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:25,400
Did you know they had a press 
conference at the Waldorf 

406
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:30,240
Astoria that the public was 
barred from and the press was 

407
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:33,440
barred from where they made 
their announcement that they had

408
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:38,520
completely delegitimatized their
careers by doing a bad stunt. 

409
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:43,600
So we have this behind us. 
We have to understand that we 

410
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:45,960
are legitimate in all of our 
work. 

411
00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:48,480
The thing is, we have no 
discipline. 

412
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:52,200
We missed out on the Industrial 
Revolution, right, Which 

413
00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:57,120
elevated chemistry elevated. 
We're more like medical people. 

414
00:24:57,120 --> 00:25:00,960
We're a craft. 
Astrology is a very finicky 

415
00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:05,800
subject. 
We only survived because they 

416
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:07,840
only had two points of view at 
the time. 

417
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:10,960
The Catholics really were wary 
of us. 

418
00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:14,440
Guys like Saint Augustine would 
run around and say basically 

419
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:19,080
that astrology determines your 
free will, therefore it's not 

420
00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:21,760
God's will. 
God wants, God has put us on 

421
00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:25,080
this planet to, in order to 
determine what we're going to do

422
00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:28,040
with our souls. 
But then guys like Thomas 

423
00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:32,160
Aquinas came along, Saint Thomas
of Aquinas, and he would say, 

424
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:36,600
wait a second, if God did not 
want us to know our destiny, why

425
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:40,440
did he give us the heavens? 
Why would he show us his works 

426
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:45,520
every single night and put it on
display for everybody to see? 

427
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:50,200
And, and, and the Catholics had 
a hard time with this. 

428
00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:54,160
And when Gutenberg's press 
happens, the first book he 

429
00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:59,320
prints is the Bible. 
In the Bible, there's no Pope, 

430
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:02,960
there's no indulgences. 
And we start the Protestant 

431
00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:05,680
Revolution. 
Now, in the middle of that 

432
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:09,440
Protestant Revolution, astrology
still poking along. 

433
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:12,920
We're basically at the center of
the sciences. 

434
00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:15,960
We're doing things in medical 
world, right? 

435
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:19,160
If you go to Oxford, you have to
study astrology before you can 

436
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:21,960
do anything like build a bridge 
or something like that. 

437
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:25,520
We were in the center of the 
sciences, but science wasn't 

438
00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:29,240
very important in Renaissance 
times until the libertarians 

439
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:32,560
came along. 
So astrology was in a funny 

440
00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:35,240
place. 
You had a big revolution going 

441
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:39,440
on in the religions and then you
have the astrologers and the 

442
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:43,640
astrologers take over the press.
The first book was the Bible, 

443
00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:45,760
the second book was an 
astrological Almanac. 

444
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:48,640
And the people didn't read. 
The almanacs were pictures. 

445
00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:54,400
Well, in 1665 William Lilly 
publishes an Almanac with a 

446
00:26:54,400 --> 00:27:00,040
picture of London on fire. 
And in 1666 London obliged and 

447
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:03,560
burnt to the ground. 
Well, you have to understand 

448
00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:07,120
that the people start trusting 
the astrologers a lot more than 

449
00:27:07,120 --> 00:27:10,440
the Anglican Church. 
And the Anglican Church wasn't 

450
00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:13,600
too happy about that. 
So they went to the nascent 

451
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:17,280
scientists and said, can you get
this thing off our back? 

452
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:20,560
That's the fall of astrology. 
Yes, May. 

453
00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:26,080
I interject. 
No, I just, it's funny, 'cause 

454
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:29,080
it is true. 
Like I feel like you know, your 

455
00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:34,480
background, you were in so many 
ways and which is why I love you

456
00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:39,400
in the film and like you as a as
a character is because you have 

457
00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:43,720
this like perspective and 
history with astrology that is 

458
00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:48,280
at this point, like astrological
history, right? 

459
00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:51,400
Like you are part of the real, 
like modern history of 

460
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:54,240
astrology. 
So I just found it humorous 

461
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:57,960
because like, I know you, but 
when you talk about yourself and

462
00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:03,640
your bio, you can't help but 
also weave in the larger history

463
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:08,560
of astrology into how you see 
the field, which a lot of people

464
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:11,440
can't say. 
So I just wanted to put that in 

465
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:13,960
there. 
One of the virtues is I did live

466
00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:17,280
the astrological life. 
A vow of poverty. 

467
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:22,080
A vow of poverty at age 17. 
You know, the and not even 

468
00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:23,720
realizing this is what I was 
going to do. 

469
00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:25,560
I mean, I got the degree and all
this other stuff. 

470
00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:28,560
I thought I would work in the 
parks and I'd play with 

471
00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:32,000
astrology at night and have a 
few clients and, you know, 

472
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:37,240
follow my my muse. 
But as it turned out, I had a 

473
00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:41,720
career path from the astrology, 
unlike well of my peers and 

474
00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:43,480
stuff. 
I've earned a Czech in astrology

475
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:46,400
my entire career. 
I've always been employed by 

476
00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:51,240
astrological organizations, 
either New York astrology guys 

477
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:54,080
or putting something together 
like astrolabe. 

478
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:57,720
I worked as a corporate 
astrologer for a number of years

479
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:01,440
in New York City for a steel 
company. 

480
00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:05,960
I was the staff astrologer. 
I had to fire people and fire 

481
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:09,440
people, tell them when to send 
the barges down the river, you 

482
00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:11,600
know, when to make the sales and
all that stuff. 

483
00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:15,240
So it was always a situation 
where I got paid as a 

484
00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:19,160
professional, you know, and my 
peers around me all had to 

485
00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:21,120
struggle. 
They really did. 

486
00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:24,840
It was a, it was a tough life, 
you know, this 'cause you got to

487
00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:28,480
realize people just don't go to 
a, they might today somewhat, 

488
00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:30,760
but they didn't just go to an 
astrologer. 

489
00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:36,480
First off, by the time somebody 
with a real problem came to the 

490
00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:39,120
astrologer, they, they've gone 
through to everybody. 

491
00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:42,080
They've gone to all the doctors,
they've gone to all the help 

492
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:44,360
people, they've gone to all the 
lawyers or whatever it is that's

493
00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:47,000
going on. 
And the astrologer is really the

494
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:52,600
last guy on on the totem pole. 
And this is the situation where 

495
00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:55,280
you would, you would drop 
everything, you'd stop 

496
00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:57,080
everything. 
And you'd have to start working 

497
00:29:57,080 --> 00:30:01,000
on these these people's charts 
because they were the desperate,

498
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:04,640
you know, So as an astrologer, 
you saw the curious and the 

499
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:06,960
desperate. 
There aren't a lot of desperate 

500
00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:10,000
people out there. 
So most of the time you're 

501
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:13,800
making your money as a 
practitioner with the social 

502
00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:17,120
circles you're moving in, the 
curious folks that you're 

503
00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:20,080
dealing with, that sort of 
stuff. 

504
00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:24,600
You know, where are you moving 
with with the astrology today in

505
00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:28,480
the field that we really should 
be building is 1, where the 

506
00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:31,760
counseling experience of 
astrology is a very important 

507
00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:33,960
thing to people. 
You know, everybody remembers 

508
00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:37,400
the first reading. 
You know, it's important for the

509
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:40,640
astrologer to record that 
reading for the client because 

510
00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:43,320
we know that five years later 
they're going to come looking 

511
00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:45,720
back for it and picking it up. 
What did he say? 

512
00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:49,240
Oh my God, all these things came
true, you know, and this is one 

513
00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:51,680
of the things that makes the 
field so wonderful. 

514
00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:57,480
Can I, can I pause this for a 
moment? 

515
00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:01,360
Because you've said so many 
things and in the time that 

516
00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:04,920
you've been talking, I've had 
like 10 questions come up and 

517
00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:09,800
I'm looking at your Venus 
conjunct with Uranus as the 

518
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:13,480
ruler of your luminaries. 
And I just feel like you are an 

519
00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:17,240
open vessel and an open channel 
for a lot of information to come

520
00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:19,800
through. 
And I'm I'm watching you on the 

521
00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:22,720
screen and you're rocking back 
and forth and you've got all 

522
00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:26,360
this movement in your body and 
clearly a lot of movement in 

523
00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:29,240
your mind. 
And a while ago when you were 

524
00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:32,360
talking about the Goklans, you 
were talking about this study 

525
00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:36,240
around, you know, vocation and 
what people chose as career. 

526
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:42,160
And throughout, you know what 
you've been sharing, one of the 

527
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:46,680
recurring thoughts that's been 
coming up for me has been around

528
00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:51,880
the relationship between the 
technical craft of astrology and

529
00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:53,720
the intuitive craft of 
astrology. 

530
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:58,600
Because anybody can read data, 
but not everybody can make sense

531
00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:04,480
of data in meaningful ways. 
And, and you know, I, I feel 

532
00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:06,960
like looking at your chart and 
hearing your story, that you 

533
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:10,600
were called clearly onto this 
path, you know, that there was a

534
00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:13,360
larger force that said, OK, 
there's our guy. 

535
00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:17,440
This is the guy that's going to 
have the mind and the curiosity 

536
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:20,920
and the persistence and 
dedication to really bring 

537
00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:24,800
through the innovation and and 
kind of the up leveling of a of 

538
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:28,720
a technology that's been in use 
by humans for thousands and 

539
00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:31,600
thousands of years. 
That's my guess. 

540
00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:35,080
You know, and then both of you 
have kind of talked in different

541
00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:40,480
ways about what maybe as 
astrologers I could I could put 

542
00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:44,120
in the framework of a Mercury, 
Jupiter relationship. 

543
00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:47,640
You know, both of you have 
talked about these big pictures,

544
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:49,280
right? 
Like Haley, you were talking 

545
00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:52,640
about that and the response to 
the question I had about story. 

546
00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:55,840
And Gary, you've been talking 
about these big picture, you 

547
00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:59,640
know, what are we doing in in 
the kind of larger sense of this

548
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:02,400
history? 
And then both of you are also 

549
00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:05,280
people who are really interested
in the details of things. 

550
00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:10,040
And I see that you have a 
Jupiter opposition in your 

551
00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:12,480
chart. 
And, you know, I imagine that 

552
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:17,280
each of you might illuminate for
each other some details and big 

553
00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:20,760
pictures that the other person 
would find fascinating. 

554
00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:23,880
Where am I going with this? 
I guess, you know, I have a 

555
00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:28,600
curiosity based on what you both
have shared so far and to bring 

556
00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:32,960
us back to the film, what do you
both hope the outcome is of this

557
00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:38,080
project and what it's becoming? 
There's many layers to it. 

558
00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:42,880
I think from like a filmmaker 
perspective, outside of subject,

559
00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:48,880
it is not easy to get people to 
watch feature length films. 

560
00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:51,360
Right? 
82 Minutes is actually a short 

561
00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:55,480
feature length film, which is 
the runtime of Star Cash. 

562
00:33:55,800 --> 00:34:01,400
But if you are not in the 
ecosystem of a major streamer, 

563
00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:07,320
so Netflix, Hulu, HBO, etcetera,
it's hard to get people to watch

564
00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:11,040
things, right? 
I think one for convenience, 

565
00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:12,520
right? 
You have subscriptions to all 

566
00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:16,080
these things. 
So if you're sitting in front of

567
00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:21,000
ATV and it's a smart TV, you 
have the apps of where you go to

568
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:26,120
watch movies. 
So I'm interested in how do you 

569
00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:30,600
let people know that there is a 
film to watch outside of that 

570
00:34:30,639 --> 00:34:34,520
ecosystem and get them 
interested enough to watch it 

571
00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:39,679
and evangelize it. 
Getting as many people outside 

572
00:34:39,679 --> 00:34:44,120
of that ecosystem to watch the 
film as possible is #1 

573
00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:45,960
importance. 
It's not even to make money on 

574
00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:49,400
the film. 
It's really just how many people

575
00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:52,760
can we get to watch this outside
of a theatrical run? 

576
00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:56,000
So there's no theaters involved 
and it's just digital. 

577
00:34:56,840 --> 00:34:59,200
That to me is really 
interesting. 

578
00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:04,520
And then the second side of it 
is, or the other side of it is, 

579
00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:09,320
how do you get people to watch a
film about astrology and perhaps

580
00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:13,280
not having been interested in 
astrology at all, or they just 

581
00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:16,800
watched it, put it on, whatever.
Could they change their 

582
00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:19,360
understanding of the field in 
general? 

583
00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:23,520
So, yeah, those are the two 
things that I'm interested in. 

584
00:35:23,720 --> 00:35:26,520
And then even just, you know, 
eventually I just want to put it

585
00:35:26,520 --> 00:35:29,360
on YouTube because I'm a big 
believer in YouTube. 

586
00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:34,800
I think YouTube as a filmmaker 
is a big part of the future and 

587
00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:36,960
it is a very democratic way, 
right? 

588
00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:41,160
Like it's you and the audience 
only the just the platform is 

589
00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:45,800
the only mediator between that 
and you know, you can get 

590
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:48,960
potentially like a bigger 
audience that way more people 

591
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:52,200
can see it because the algorithm
will suggest it. 

592
00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:54,480
You know, YouTube has one of the
best algorithms outside of 

593
00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:59,880
TikTok for suggested content. 
So I guess like, yeah, my answer

594
00:35:59,880 --> 00:36:03,520
is more like the mechanics of 
filmmaking and film distribution

595
00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:06,800
in general, because I think it's
a big problem because there's so

596
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:09,400
many films out there that people
just don't see because it's 

597
00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:10,960
they're not on the major 
streamers. 

598
00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:15,680
So yeah. 
In the documentary, you talked a

599
00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:19,240
little bit about your personal 
chart and getting readings from 

600
00:36:19,240 --> 00:36:22,360
astrologers that would say 
things like, oh, you have a 

601
00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:26,120
drive for success or celebrity, 
you know, we see this in your 

602
00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:29,600
chart or something like that. 
And in what you're sharing, I'm 

603
00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:31,080
hearing a little bit of that as 
well. 

604
00:36:31,080 --> 00:36:34,240
Like there's this kind of 
orientation towards this 

605
00:36:34,240 --> 00:36:36,480
distribution. 
You know, you want people to see

606
00:36:36,720 --> 00:36:39,400
this work. 
I guess as an astrologer, I 

607
00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:42,800
always have a question of like, 
what is the larger influence? 

608
00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:44,800
Like what is the bigger story 
that's happening? 

609
00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:49,400
And I'm curious, why is it 
important for people to have 

610
00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:54,760
this information about astrology
and the correlation potentially 

611
00:36:54,760 --> 00:36:58,640
between astrology and markets? 
What do you hope that that does 

612
00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:04,440
in the world for consciousness? 
I think it's seeing kind of 

613
00:37:04,880 --> 00:37:09,800
between the lines and watching 
the film this, you know, might 

614
00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:12,920
give it away, but maybe it's 
interesting to to people who 

615
00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:16,440
would watch the film, but it's 
so much bigger than just, you 

616
00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:21,480
know, astrology in the markets. 
I think the real threat is, you 

617
00:37:21,480 --> 00:37:24,360
know, the relationships that I 
built and then also just 

618
00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:29,160
astrology as a whole. 
And so really just like opening 

619
00:37:29,160 --> 00:37:33,480
people's minds potentially to 
things that they had not thought

620
00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:37,320
about when it came to astrology.
I think also showing the world 

621
00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:42,680
this like specific community in 
astrology, like the old guard of

622
00:37:42,680 --> 00:37:46,960
astrology in a lot of ways as 
like information accelerates, 

623
00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:51,840
there's more voices in the room.
I have, like, a great respect 

624
00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:55,560
for age and time and the wisdom 
that comes with that. 

625
00:37:56,760 --> 00:38:00,280
And I think people have less and
less of that as like, more 

626
00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:04,200
voices enter the enter the 
stage, which I think is just a 

627
00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:06,360
rite of passage. 
Because even Gary has said at 

628
00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:09,600
some point that, you know, when 
he was young, they all thought 

629
00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:13,520
that they were the best and 
wanted to, you know, break away 

630
00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:15,440
from the elders and from that. 
That was. 

631
00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:16,680
And so. 
Yeah. 

632
00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:20,160
So just like platforming them. 
Yeah. 

633
00:38:22,240 --> 00:38:27,680
I really see that admiration and
I'm going to say a word. 

634
00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:32,000
I'm not sure you resonate with 
it, but I would say devotion in 

635
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:35,760
your sinistry with, with Gary, 
your generational placement of 

636
00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:40,640
Uranus, Neptune and Capricorn 
makes a grand trine with his son

637
00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:43,280
Mars and Taurus and Saturn and 
Virgo. 

638
00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:47,800
And it's such a beautiful aspect
of a relationship that, you 

639
00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:50,440
know, builds a bridge, I think, 
and, and really helps 

640
00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:53,800
generations come together. 
Gary, I'm I'm curious for you. 

641
00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:57,480
So again, this has been 1/4 of a
Saturn cycle that you've been 

642
00:38:57,840 --> 00:39:00,520
getting to know. 
Haley, you were one of the main 

643
00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:03,280
astrologers featured and 
interviewed in the film. 

644
00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:06,080
And, you know, is that a new 
experience for you or are you at

645
00:39:06,080 --> 00:39:09,160
this point pretty used to being 
in the limelight, you know, and,

646
00:39:09,160 --> 00:39:12,840
and how has this experience with
Haley changed you and the way 

647
00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:14,880
that you interact with 
astrology? 

648
00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:16,480
I've. 
I've always been large with my 

649
00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:20,680
peers, so getting attention from
that, that's never been an 

650
00:39:20,720 --> 00:39:23,320
issue. 
But the thing with Haley's work 

651
00:39:23,320 --> 00:39:25,840
is this. 
Haley's going to move on. 

652
00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:29,480
She's going to do other artistic
projects, and they're going to 

653
00:39:29,480 --> 00:39:32,680
get better and better as her 
life goes on in general, and 

654
00:39:32,680 --> 00:39:34,680
she's going to get into all 
aspects of stuff. 

655
00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:37,720
But this project, well, it's 
near to my heart. 

656
00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:40,160
Someone coming around and doing 
a film. 

657
00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:43,640
And how many documentaries have 
you seen in astrology? 

658
00:39:44,120 --> 00:39:47,640
You'll always see a National 
Geographic Wildlife Special, but

659
00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:52,960
no astrologers in the wild. 
We haven't had any kind of media

660
00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:58,600
attention outside of the most 
tabloid superficial stuff, you 

661
00:39:58,600 --> 00:40:03,040
know, a syndicated column in the
newspapers, an occasional 

662
00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:04,960
astrologer who would get on the 
radio. 

663
00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:07,200
Right now, we're in the era of 
podcasts. 

664
00:40:07,200 --> 00:40:10,520
You could actually have the 
following, you know, you can 

665
00:40:10,520 --> 00:40:13,720
actually do things that that 
have a lasting effect. 

666
00:40:14,200 --> 00:40:17,280
But in our age, no, it was 
always the laugh track. 

667
00:40:17,360 --> 00:40:20,520
There was never anything serious
going on so. 

668
00:40:21,200 --> 00:40:24,880
Haley's water in the desert. 
Can somebody come in the camera 

669
00:40:24,880 --> 00:40:28,000
and they're going to record the 
things that are dear to your 

670
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:31,920
heart and your profession? 
Hey, it gets all the support we 

671
00:40:31,920 --> 00:40:35,440
possibly can give it. 
So I look at the work from not 

672
00:40:35,440 --> 00:40:40,680
as Haley's artistic expression, 
but as literally a documentary 

673
00:40:40,760 --> 00:40:44,200
of an era that will pass, you 
know? 

674
00:40:44,280 --> 00:40:47,720
And it isn't just us old farts 
dropping dead or anything like 

675
00:40:47,720 --> 00:40:50,240
that. 
It's the idea that astrology 

676
00:40:50,240 --> 00:40:54,400
never got developed. 
And it is going to be developed,

677
00:40:54,800 --> 00:40:56,480
that's the thing. 
And when astrology starts 

678
00:40:56,480 --> 00:40:59,680
getting developed, it's not 
going to look anything like what

679
00:40:59,680 --> 00:41:04,920
we've learned in our lifetimes. 
So Haley's documentary might be 

680
00:41:04,920 --> 00:41:09,520
the last of an old world view of
the way we actually practice 

681
00:41:09,520 --> 00:41:11,880
that the way we actually 
conducted our lives. 

682
00:41:12,440 --> 00:41:15,080
And do you think that the 
development of astrology is with

683
00:41:15,080 --> 00:41:17,600
computing and like quantum 
computing that that's where it's

684
00:41:17,600 --> 00:41:20,320
going or? 
One of the interesting things of

685
00:41:20,320 --> 00:41:24,280
being in the software business, 
the technical business, we get 

686
00:41:24,280 --> 00:41:28,000
to see a lot of technique. 
Now people endow that technique 

687
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:31,440
with all different feelings and 
materials, their observations 

688
00:41:31,440 --> 00:41:34,760
and stuff. 
So the psychological materials, 

689
00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:38,920
the, the technical type 
materials, you know, their 

690
00:41:38,920 --> 00:41:42,960
astrologers are highly, highly 
technical in their orientation 

691
00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:44,680
and this and that. 
They don't have too many human 

692
00:41:44,680 --> 00:41:47,840
qualities to them. 
Then there are astrologers that 

693
00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:50,720
basically are, you know, they 
play 3 chords and a lot of 

694
00:41:50,720 --> 00:41:53,400
people listen and they can 
really relate to it. 

695
00:41:53,640 --> 00:41:59,080
You don't need a lot of smarts. 
You need the ability to be 

696
00:41:59,520 --> 00:42:02,120
empathetic. 
You need the ability to 

697
00:42:02,520 --> 00:42:06,320
understand how a symbol 
literally is going to affect or 

698
00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:10,560
be imposed on a person's life. 
Now, where astrology is going to

699
00:42:10,560 --> 00:42:13,680
go, I think it's going to go 
very much along the lines of 

700
00:42:13,680 --> 00:42:15,400
medicine. 
We're going to continue to be a 

701
00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:17,960
craft, right? 
We're going to get better, 

702
00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:21,480
though, at what we're doing and 
the things that we're doing are 

703
00:42:21,480 --> 00:42:25,120
going to change. 
But we have to be very careful. 

704
00:42:25,840 --> 00:42:29,280
If it goes in One Direction, 
we're all screwed, really. 

705
00:42:29,680 --> 00:42:32,760
If it goes in another direction,
we're all enamored. 

706
00:42:32,760 --> 00:42:36,640
We all get to expand. 
And I do not want to have 

707
00:42:36,640 --> 00:42:40,680
children born and classified. 
You're going to be a street 

708
00:42:40,680 --> 00:42:42,560
sweeper, Nothing better than 
that. 

709
00:42:43,840 --> 00:42:48,160
You're you're going to do this. 
You know, I like the idea of us 

710
00:42:48,240 --> 00:42:53,000
having a sense of destiny, but 
not having a quantified destiny,

711
00:42:53,880 --> 00:42:56,040
you know? 
That's why it's, it's important 

712
00:42:56,040 --> 00:42:59,600
to take it seriously, you know, 
to take astrology as like a 

713
00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:03,800
serious subject and not just 
something kind of frivolous 

714
00:43:03,800 --> 00:43:06,440
because like what Gary's 
speaking to is like the 

715
00:43:06,440 --> 00:43:10,280
potential of where astrology can
go could potentially be 

716
00:43:10,280 --> 00:43:16,440
nefarious if in the wrong hands.
I mean, just knowing about how 

717
00:43:16,440 --> 00:43:20,000
astrology has been used and 
currently is used, and you know 

718
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:24,760
that already happens. 
Years ago, there was an article 

719
00:43:24,760 --> 00:43:28,280
in New York about a, a, a group 
in Brooklyn who were fighting 

720
00:43:28,280 --> 00:43:31,360
over an apartment building 
because they didn't get along 

721
00:43:31,360 --> 00:43:35,320
astrologically. 
It was big news. 

722
00:43:35,320 --> 00:43:39,000
And it was a court case going on
and all kinds of stuff because, 

723
00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:42,080
you know, they, they felt that 
they had signed contracts to 

724
00:43:42,080 --> 00:43:45,400
live in this building, but that 
their astrological connections 

725
00:43:45,400 --> 00:43:49,040
just didn't work, you know, and 
they blamed it on astrology. 

726
00:43:49,600 --> 00:43:54,120
And what I hear in that also is,
you know, the kind of refusal to

727
00:43:54,120 --> 00:43:56,520
accept personal responsibility 
to work with your own 

728
00:43:56,520 --> 00:43:59,720
placements, right? 
And so this way that astrology 

729
00:43:59,720 --> 00:44:03,080
can be used as a prescription to
tell people who they are or to 

730
00:44:03,080 --> 00:44:06,760
make a prediction about what 
will happen is very much coming 

731
00:44:06,760 --> 00:44:10,560
from a controlling mind versus 
someone who is engaging with 

732
00:44:10,560 --> 00:44:13,400
astrology as a tool for self 
reflection and growth. 

733
00:44:13,800 --> 00:44:17,200
And a kind of interaction or 
relationship with the living 

734
00:44:17,200 --> 00:44:21,840
world that is also somewhat 
malleable, that has like various

735
00:44:21,840 --> 00:44:24,880
choices and opportunities in it 
where people can choose to grow 

736
00:44:24,880 --> 00:44:27,440
or not. 
Well, you know, one of the 

737
00:44:27,760 --> 00:44:31,880
earliest forms of astrology, the
the earlier Babylonian forms was

738
00:44:31,880 --> 00:44:37,040
always an if then consideration,
but they always had a remedy. 

739
00:44:37,360 --> 00:44:40,000
This is something that's lacking
in modern astrology. 

740
00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:43,960
We don't have too many remedies 
per SE, but but the Babylonians,

741
00:44:44,080 --> 00:44:49,120
every single malefic condition 
they had, this is how to get rid

742
00:44:49,120 --> 00:44:51,720
of it. 
This is how to get God off your 

743
00:44:51,720 --> 00:44:54,040
back, so to so to speak. 
You know well. 

744
00:44:54,320 --> 00:44:56,840
I'd like to jump in there 
actually, and maybe this can 

745
00:44:56,840 --> 00:45:00,840
lead us to my, my last question 
for you both, because what I do,

746
00:45:00,880 --> 00:45:06,240
you know, embodied astrology as 
a praxis is not actually heavily

747
00:45:06,240 --> 00:45:08,840
based in technique, although we 
love technique. 

748
00:45:09,160 --> 00:45:13,480
You know, we learn a lot of it, 
we share a lot of it, but really

749
00:45:13,480 --> 00:45:18,520
take the approach of kind of a, 
a personal empowerment path and 

750
00:45:18,520 --> 00:45:21,760
a spiritual path. 
You know what, what's the energy

751
00:45:21,840 --> 00:45:23,880
that's here that we're wanting 
to respond to? 

752
00:45:24,520 --> 00:45:30,120
And so remedies often do come up
in contemplation and group work,

753
00:45:30,600 --> 00:45:34,360
and they're often cyclical or 
they have something to do with a

754
00:45:34,560 --> 00:45:37,160
kind of larger collective or 
ancestral pattern. 

755
00:45:37,640 --> 00:45:40,880
And so, you know, like we might 
find in our own charts, like, 

756
00:45:40,880 --> 00:45:44,040
oh, there's this pattern that's 
here that's not just about me 

757
00:45:44,040 --> 00:45:47,240
personally, but it links into 
society at large or it links me 

758
00:45:47,240 --> 00:45:49,000
with my family or something like
that. 

759
00:45:49,480 --> 00:45:53,840
And so the remedy then is to 
actually participate in a in a 

760
00:45:53,840 --> 00:45:57,120
kind of larger collective way 
and to feel ourselves in in 

761
00:45:57,120 --> 00:46:00,680
relationship with that. 
And for me, you know, engaging 

762
00:46:00,680 --> 00:46:04,600
with your film, on the one hand,
I was completely fascinated 

763
00:46:04,600 --> 00:46:06,880
because I love everything to do 
with astrology. 

764
00:46:07,200 --> 00:46:10,680
And it was so fun to get to meet
Gary and, you know, this other 

765
00:46:10,680 --> 00:46:13,360
cast of characters that you 
bring in and also to follow your

766
00:46:13,360 --> 00:46:16,280
line of inquiry. 
And it made me more curious 

767
00:46:16,280 --> 00:46:20,000
about financial astrology, But 
it also brought up a question 

768
00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:22,400
for me around the history of 
markets. 

769
00:46:22,520 --> 00:46:27,720
And the stock market was 
established first in Amsterdam 

770
00:46:27,720 --> 00:46:30,360
with the East India Trading 
Company, and then the New York 

771
00:46:30,360 --> 00:46:33,880
Stock Exchange was a place to 
trade enslaved people. 

772
00:46:34,160 --> 00:46:38,120
And so I'm curious about, you 
know, engaging with markets that

773
00:46:38,120 --> 00:46:42,400
were created to trade stolen 
extracted resources and people 

774
00:46:42,400 --> 00:46:45,000
who were stolen. 
And this isn't something that 

775
00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:47,360
the film touches on. 
And it's nothing that the 

776
00:46:47,360 --> 00:46:49,760
investors are going to talk 
about or the financial 

777
00:46:49,760 --> 00:46:52,240
astrologers are necessarily 
talking about. 

778
00:46:53,120 --> 00:46:57,040
But considering that astrology 
is cyclical and the history of 

779
00:46:57,040 --> 00:47:00,680
modern markets and the stock 
market in particular, is driving

780
00:47:01,040 --> 00:47:05,240
an ongoing legacy of 
colonialism, do either of you 

781
00:47:05,240 --> 00:47:09,240
feel any like, particular? 
I'm going to say responsibility,

782
00:47:09,240 --> 00:47:15,000
but I could also say hope you 
know, or intentionality to these

783
00:47:15,000 --> 00:47:18,040
legacies, you know, and, and the
way that you're working with 

784
00:47:18,040 --> 00:47:20,840
investors or potentially also 
astrologers who might be 

785
00:47:20,840 --> 00:47:25,320
interested in this application. 
Well, well, I can't speak for 

786
00:47:25,320 --> 00:47:28,320
Haley, but if you indulge me for
a second or two, this is 

787
00:47:28,320 --> 00:47:30,560
something that's very, very 
important at this time. 

788
00:47:30,560 --> 00:47:34,040
And we're going to go off into 
left field in essence, because, 

789
00:47:34,080 --> 00:47:36,840
listen, this is the world of AI 
we're coming into. 

790
00:47:37,400 --> 00:47:41,640
And you have to understand that 
we're at a mutation with Jupiter

791
00:47:41,640 --> 00:47:44,200
and Saturn. 
We've just gone into air signs, 

792
00:47:44,200 --> 00:47:47,400
right, right. 
These mutations take 200 years. 

793
00:47:47,960 --> 00:47:50,560
We go back to the last mutation.
It was Earth. 

794
00:47:50,720 --> 00:47:53,600
Can I just pause for a second 
for our listeners, Garrett, can 

795
00:47:53,600 --> 00:47:55,880
you talk about the great 
conjunctions and actually lay 

796
00:47:55,880 --> 00:47:56,920
that out? 
Because I feel like that's 

797
00:47:56,920 --> 00:47:59,600
important. 
You're just saying the mutation 

798
00:47:59,600 --> 00:48:01,640
but. 
Oh, it's a very important thing 

799
00:48:01,640 --> 00:48:04,480
because it's this is the basis 
of all of our societal 

800
00:48:04,480 --> 00:48:07,000
movements. 
We don't live much longer than a

801
00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:12,080
Saturn transit, and Uranus is 
basically the outer limits for 

802
00:48:12,080 --> 00:48:15,480
US, 84 years. 
So Jupiter and Saturn, when they

803
00:48:15,480 --> 00:48:19,880
come together, they make a 
conjunction every 20 years and 

804
00:48:19,880 --> 00:48:21,920
it's usually in the same 
element. 

805
00:48:22,280 --> 00:48:26,400
So for the last 200 years 
they've been conjoining in Earth

806
00:48:26,400 --> 00:48:31,960
signs, Earth signs, Earth signs 
now as of once with Reagan, but 

807
00:48:31,960 --> 00:48:36,080
now forever. 
The for the next 200 years, the 

808
00:48:36,080 --> 00:48:40,440
Jupiter and Saturn conjunctions 
will be in air signs and it 

809
00:48:40,440 --> 00:48:43,600
follows suit with everything 
that's going on. 

810
00:48:44,160 --> 00:48:50,480
But here's The thing is the 
development of AI itself, right,

811
00:48:50,480 --> 00:48:54,680
the LLM models and things like 
that, You have to think about 

812
00:48:55,200 --> 00:48:59,600
the last 200 years. 
It was really 250 years ago when

813
00:48:59,880 --> 00:49:04,480
they started going into the 
Earth signs and labor became the

814
00:49:04,480 --> 00:49:08,920
issue. 
Prior to 1800, there were no big

815
00:49:08,920 --> 00:49:12,120
factories per SE. 
There was no big labor 

816
00:49:12,120 --> 00:49:15,720
movements. 
It was just a quasi capitalism 

817
00:49:15,720 --> 00:49:18,600
basically, right? 
If the king gave you a charter, 

818
00:49:18,600 --> 00:49:22,120
it was a good thing, right? 
You could make beer, right? 

819
00:49:22,120 --> 00:49:27,560
But as we get into the 1800s, 
Adam Smith comes along with the 

820
00:49:27,560 --> 00:49:31,640
Wealth of Nations and basically 
says, hey, listen, get your 

821
00:49:31,640 --> 00:49:33,920
capital together and you get all
these workers and you can 

822
00:49:33,920 --> 00:49:36,600
exploit the living shit out of 
them whether they're slaves or 

823
00:49:36,600 --> 00:49:38,360
not, right? 
And you're going to make 

824
00:49:38,360 --> 00:49:41,720
yourself $1,000,000 and and 
enrich society. 

825
00:49:41,760 --> 00:49:44,080
The hand of God will move the 
markets. 

826
00:49:44,680 --> 00:49:48,600
Well, after 50 years of that, 
Marx came along and says, oh, 

827
00:49:48,600 --> 00:49:50,840
this is bad news. 
Look at these slaves over in 

828
00:49:50,840 --> 00:49:53,720
England. 
It stinks, right? 

829
00:49:53,720 --> 00:49:55,200
We have to have a different 
system. 

830
00:49:55,200 --> 00:49:56,520
We have to have a socialist 
system. 

831
00:49:56,520 --> 00:49:58,280
The workers have to own 
everything. 

832
00:49:58,920 --> 00:50:03,520
Well, you have to realize that 
Saturn and Jupiter, making their

833
00:50:03,520 --> 00:50:07,880
conjunctions in the earth signs,
exploits the earth absolutely. 

834
00:50:08,160 --> 00:50:11,760
The first 100 years was the 
exploitation of Labor and 

835
00:50:11,760 --> 00:50:15,520
exploitation of the earth. 
The 2nd 100 years was the 

836
00:50:15,520 --> 00:50:18,640
liberation of the workers, 
right? 

837
00:50:18,840 --> 00:50:21,760
First we have World War in the 
2nd and it's the way it goes 

838
00:50:21,760 --> 00:50:23,760
with Saturn and Jupiter 
conjunctions. 

839
00:50:23,960 --> 00:50:26,400
The first 100 years are 
horrible. 

840
00:50:26,400 --> 00:50:28,040
The 2nd 100 years are much 
better. 

841
00:50:28,400 --> 00:50:30,520
When there's a conjunction of 
Jupiter and Saturn. 

842
00:50:30,680 --> 00:50:33,880
The 1st 10 years are horrible. 
The 2nd 10 years are much 

843
00:50:33,880 --> 00:50:36,760
better, right? 
So right now we're in the 

844
00:50:36,760 --> 00:50:40,120
horrible first part of the 10 
years of the Jupiter Saturn 

845
00:50:40,120 --> 00:50:43,200
conjunction in the first time in
the air signs. 

846
00:50:43,600 --> 00:50:48,720
Well, the problem is this is 
when we get to the 2nd 100 

847
00:50:48,720 --> 00:50:51,120
years, the first thing that 
occurs is World War 1. 

848
00:50:51,120 --> 00:50:55,240
And in World War One, we got rid
of the patriarchy we got. 

849
00:50:55,240 --> 00:50:59,000
What are you talking about? 
The patriarchy is alive and 

850
00:50:59,320 --> 00:51:01,360
well. 
You understand the way I'm 

851
00:51:01,360 --> 00:51:03,560
coming from? 
World War One got rid of all the

852
00:51:03,560 --> 00:51:07,240
kings, all the potentates and 
all the warlords. 

853
00:51:07,440 --> 00:51:10,560
Seriously. 
And democracies were left. 

854
00:51:11,120 --> 00:51:16,280
However, people, they can't give
up daddy images, they can't give

855
00:51:16,280 --> 00:51:19,240
up listening to the Big Eight. 
That beats everybody up. 

856
00:51:19,640 --> 00:51:22,840
So World War 2 happens in the 
second phase of the European 

857
00:51:22,840 --> 00:51:26,840
Revolution occurs where we have 
to get rid of the false kings 

858
00:51:26,840 --> 00:51:31,920
and the false uncles. 
Uncle Stalin, Uncle Chen, Kai 

859
00:51:31,920 --> 00:51:36,280
Shek, Uncle Roosevelt, right, 
Uncle Churchill, all of these 

860
00:51:36,280 --> 00:51:39,240
guys, they all had to go the end
of World War 2. 

861
00:51:39,240 --> 00:51:40,840
Nobody's driving the bus 
anymore. 

862
00:51:41,320 --> 00:51:46,400
It literally is the idea of the 
rise of the American empire. 

863
00:51:46,800 --> 00:51:50,880
And of course, we were promoting
representational democracies and

864
00:51:51,000 --> 00:51:53,600
things of this nature. 
I mean, this seems to be the 

865
00:51:53,600 --> 00:51:55,960
time when corporations really 
take that role. 

866
00:51:57,200 --> 00:52:00,760
At the end of World War Two, we 
gave the world to corporations 

867
00:52:00,760 --> 00:52:02,680
and we invented the middle 
class. 

868
00:52:02,840 --> 00:52:05,760
I don't really understand how 
that's better than the first 100

869
00:52:05,760 --> 00:52:07,640
years. 
It just seems to accelerate some

870
00:52:07,640 --> 00:52:12,280
of what was that it's. 
Better than this, right so we 

871
00:52:12,280 --> 00:52:15,280
get to the end of this period 
and we start going into the air 

872
00:52:15,280 --> 00:52:18,680
signs the first thing that 
occurs is the beginning of the 

873
00:52:18,680 --> 00:52:22,920
World Wide Web, the idea of an 
interconnected social network, 

874
00:52:23,320 --> 00:52:25,200
which. 
By the way, both of you have 

875
00:52:25,640 --> 00:52:29,200
placement personal placements 
conjunct that conjunction. 

876
00:52:30,560 --> 00:52:34,360
The 1980 Libra conjunction was 
pretty much on Gary's Moon and 

877
00:52:34,360 --> 00:52:39,600
Haley's Ascendant in in Jupiter.
Well, the idea is basically this

878
00:52:39,760 --> 00:52:43,760
is is what we're coming to in 
the world is a very big 

879
00:52:43,760 --> 00:52:48,040
existential problem. 
And that is we've invented the 

880
00:52:48,080 --> 00:52:50,640
AIS. 
People do not understand that we

881
00:52:50,640 --> 00:52:55,240
have 70 years worth of 
experience of making robots that

882
00:52:55,240 --> 00:52:57,560
do everything. 
They build this computer, they 

883
00:52:57,600 --> 00:53:01,240
build the TV's, they build 
everything, all cars, right? 

884
00:53:01,720 --> 00:53:05,240
All they have to do is put the 
LLM models into the robots that 

885
00:53:05,240 --> 00:53:07,160
are already there. 
The robots don't have to look 

886
00:53:07,160 --> 00:53:10,720
like humans, right? 
But they will do. 

887
00:53:10,960 --> 00:53:13,440
Right now they're telling 
children to go learn how to be 

888
00:53:13,440 --> 00:53:16,080
electricians and plumbers 
because, oh, you'll still have a

889
00:53:16,080 --> 00:53:18,880
job after the AI revolution. 
Wrong. 

890
00:53:18,880 --> 00:53:22,160
Those are going to be the first 
jobs to go, as well as the 

891
00:53:22,200 --> 00:53:24,440
lawyers and doctors and 
everybody else. 

892
00:53:25,000 --> 00:53:28,560
The idea is that we will not 
need a working class. 

893
00:53:29,440 --> 00:53:34,280
It's an intellectual class. 
And the problem is all of our 

894
00:53:34,280 --> 00:53:39,480
structures, our democracies, 
our, our financial structures 

895
00:53:39,480 --> 00:53:42,440
and everything else are all 
predicated on the exploitation 

896
00:53:42,440 --> 00:53:44,520
of people. 
There won't be people to 

897
00:53:44,520 --> 00:53:46,600
exploit. 
And what will happen to the 

898
00:53:46,600 --> 00:53:48,680
people? 
They won't be able to afford the

899
00:53:48,680 --> 00:53:51,760
robots if they aren't part of 
the whole situation. 

900
00:53:52,200 --> 00:53:56,040
What's going to happen is we 
need to create an entirely 

901
00:53:56,040 --> 00:54:01,080
different system of governance. 
And always in sci-fi, you always

902
00:54:01,080 --> 00:54:03,480
have the council of elders and 
stuff like that. 

903
00:54:03,480 --> 00:54:07,080
Well, as you can see from the US
Supreme Court, that kind of 

904
00:54:07,080 --> 00:54:09,800
stuff gets corrupted just as 
fast as anything else. 

905
00:54:10,480 --> 00:54:12,200
And so we have a serious 
problem. 

906
00:54:12,200 --> 00:54:14,560
We can't have 5 corporations 
running the world. 

907
00:54:14,960 --> 00:54:18,240
It's just not going to be. 
So we will have a very 

908
00:54:18,240 --> 00:54:20,520
interesting 100 years ahead of 
us. 

909
00:54:21,160 --> 00:54:25,480
The next five years or so are 
the years of corruption. 

910
00:54:26,000 --> 00:54:28,600
It's unfortunate we're going to 
be living through these things. 

911
00:54:29,040 --> 00:54:32,920
OK, so pause, Gary. 
So this film potentially puts at

912
00:54:32,920 --> 00:54:35,720
least the interest, if not the 
techniques, because you guys 

913
00:54:35,720 --> 00:54:38,000
didn't reveal really the 
techniques of financial 

914
00:54:38,000 --> 00:54:41,240
astrology in the film. 
You you gave a good teaser, but 

915
00:54:41,800 --> 00:54:44,640
there is a potential with this 
film that you're going to get 

916
00:54:44,640 --> 00:54:49,160
more people interested in using 
astrology to work the markets. 

917
00:54:49,480 --> 00:54:51,800
I think the markets are going to
collapse because of AI. 

918
00:54:52,520 --> 00:54:54,880
OK, thank you. 
This is the I'm wondering like 

919
00:54:54,880 --> 00:54:56,760
what are we doing with this 
information? 

920
00:54:56,840 --> 00:55:01,320
Listen, astrology can predict 
the markets to a certain extent.

921
00:55:01,840 --> 00:55:04,240
You got to realize we're still 
playing with stone knives and 

922
00:55:04,240 --> 00:55:07,000
axes. 
We're not that technically 

923
00:55:07,000 --> 00:55:08,720
adept. 
We're we're back there when 

924
00:55:08,720 --> 00:55:10,840
they're trying to turn lead into
gold. 

925
00:55:10,840 --> 00:55:13,720
And that's where we froze for 
2000 years. 

926
00:55:14,000 --> 00:55:17,080
There's been no technical 
advancement until computers came

927
00:55:17,080 --> 00:55:19,080
along. 
They're not the answer either. 

928
00:55:19,640 --> 00:55:22,240
So astrology can predict the 
markets. 

929
00:55:22,240 --> 00:55:24,600
We can do that sort of stuff 
that's we've been doing that for

930
00:55:24,600 --> 00:55:28,320
thousands of years. 
But when the AIS come along, 

931
00:55:28,560 --> 00:55:30,400
well, they're going to rig the 
markets. 

932
00:55:30,920 --> 00:55:33,000
Right now, the AIS are already 
involved. 

933
00:55:33,000 --> 00:55:36,320
Once people realize, once the 
banks will realize that it's, 

934
00:55:36,400 --> 00:55:40,360
it's, it's a rigged casino that 
there are devices that can 

935
00:55:40,360 --> 00:55:41,960
predict where the market's going
to go. 

936
00:55:42,360 --> 00:55:44,400
They're not going to trust the 
markets any longer. 

937
00:55:44,960 --> 00:55:46,840
And so we'll have a financial 
collapse. 

938
00:55:47,680 --> 00:55:50,760
That's an inversion. 
It's a, it'll be, it's not a 

939
00:55:50,960 --> 00:55:53,520
collapse because of lack of 
materials or this or that. 

940
00:55:53,720 --> 00:55:56,160
It'll be a collapse because 
there's no place to put the 

941
00:55:56,160 --> 00:55:59,040
money. 
Do you, do you see that in our 

942
00:55:59,040 --> 00:56:01,720
current astrology with Uranus 
coming back into Gemini? 

943
00:56:01,720 --> 00:56:03,120
Like do you think that's coming 
up pretty? 

944
00:56:03,160 --> 00:56:05,520
Soon I think about it isn't just
the Uranus crossing at the 

945
00:56:05,520 --> 00:56:10,400
Gemini is Uranus, Pluto and 
Neptune have all changed signs. 

946
00:56:11,000 --> 00:56:12,320
And they're all talking to each 
other. 

947
00:56:12,800 --> 00:56:15,040
We've all gone from negative to 
positive signs. 

948
00:56:15,480 --> 00:56:18,320
The idea is that it's the 
interplay between Uranus and 

949
00:56:18,320 --> 00:56:21,480
Pluto and Neptune. 
The midpoint of Uranus and Pluto

950
00:56:21,480 --> 00:56:24,720
has been on Neptune all the time
that Neptune has crossed the 

951
00:56:24,720 --> 00:56:28,800
cardinal axis, which is why 
we've been in an era where truth

952
00:56:28,800 --> 00:56:31,360
and authenticity has been in 
scarce supply. 

953
00:56:32,360 --> 00:56:34,600
You know, it's the Neptune, 
Saturn conjoining on the 

954
00:56:34,600 --> 00:56:36,760
cardinal axis. 
The world has never seen 

955
00:56:36,760 --> 00:56:39,400
anything like that in the last 
15,000 years. 

956
00:56:39,480 --> 00:56:43,640
We looked, I had my programmer, 
one of my programmers, Doug 

957
00:56:43,640 --> 00:56:47,280
Kellogg, do a study on the 
Jupiter and Saturn conjunction 

958
00:56:47,560 --> 00:56:51,080
to see did this thing occur on 
the cardinal axis anywhere else 

959
00:56:51,080 --> 00:56:53,840
in history? 
The closest we came the closest 

960
00:56:54,080 --> 00:56:58,320
was the 15th century during the 
100 Years War from Reformation 

961
00:56:58,320 --> 00:57:01,840
because of Gutenberg's press. 
Well, we're the same distance 

962
00:57:01,840 --> 00:57:04,440
from Gutenberg's press as we are
from the World Wide Web. 

963
00:57:04,560 --> 00:57:07,360
In time right now, where the 
Reformation occurs and 

964
00:57:07,360 --> 00:57:10,160
everything blows up, we're in 
the same position with the World

965
00:57:10,160 --> 00:57:12,120
Wide Web. 
It all blows up, and that's why 

966
00:57:12,120 --> 00:57:15,080
it's the AI scariest thing now, 
astrology. 

967
00:57:15,400 --> 00:57:19,360
This movie is the last of the 
way astrology will have been 

968
00:57:20,080 --> 00:57:22,920
after all the TikTok people and 
everything else passes. 

969
00:57:22,920 --> 00:57:27,160
But when the popular wave of 
astrology passes by, astrology 

970
00:57:27,160 --> 00:57:32,560
will be seen as very authentic. 
And from that perspective right 

971
00:57:32,600 --> 00:57:36,840
is where we decide astrology get
how would you put it? 

972
00:57:37,200 --> 00:57:40,560
Corrupted? 
Or does astrology become a 

973
00:57:40,560 --> 00:57:45,040
spiritual savior for the world 
and and the idea of it becoming 

974
00:57:45,040 --> 00:57:49,640
corrupted will be in the hands 
of an autocracy or a situation 

975
00:57:49,640 --> 00:57:52,520
where how you deal with the 
people becomes a problem? 

976
00:57:53,040 --> 00:57:56,360
So we're in for very large 
transformations because of this 

977
00:57:56,360 --> 00:57:59,120
time. 
The next four or five years is 

978
00:57:59,120 --> 00:58:02,680
the time of corruption. 
The period after that, there'll 

979
00:58:02,680 --> 00:58:05,720
have to be a revolution because 
of the distribution of goods. 

980
00:58:06,120 --> 00:58:11,200
But I can say this, the latter 
part of the century, as we get 

981
00:58:11,200 --> 00:58:15,280
into the 20 sixties, the world 
does become a wonderful, 

982
00:58:15,280 --> 00:58:19,680
wonderful place really. 
We had spirituality gets 

983
00:58:19,680 --> 00:58:22,280
widespread built with technology
and everything else. 

984
00:58:22,480 --> 00:58:25,760
But we have to go through two 
really horrible periods, just 

985
00:58:25,760 --> 00:58:29,160
like World War One and World War
22, very horrible periods that 

986
00:58:29,160 --> 00:58:35,640
are facing us right now. 
And, and, and as I said, this 

987
00:58:35,640 --> 00:58:40,400
film, this documentary describes
a time that will never exist 

988
00:58:40,400 --> 00:58:43,840
again, right? 
It won't our, our worlds are 

989
00:58:43,840 --> 00:58:46,840
changing. 
This is a, a movie about the old

990
00:58:46,840 --> 00:58:51,680
world, you know, and a time when
astrology was a, a certain way 

991
00:58:51,680 --> 00:58:54,560
at a certain level. 
And it's not going to be the 

992
00:58:54,560 --> 00:58:58,160
same after this. 
So that's how I see the movie. 

993
00:58:58,280 --> 00:59:02,320
I see the movie as, Oh my God, 
Haley froze something in time. 

994
00:59:02,600 --> 00:59:05,640
It's really nice. 
It's really wonderful, you know,

995
00:59:05,680 --> 00:59:09,040
and we have a record of it now. 
It's a historical document. 

996
00:59:09,280 --> 00:59:12,280
We don't see documentaries in 
astrology. 

997
00:59:13,000 --> 00:59:15,480
Thank you. 
Gary, I have a slight 

998
00:59:15,480 --> 00:59:18,400
disagreement with something that
you said about, you know, the 

999
00:59:18,400 --> 00:59:21,200
age of corruption or something 
being now, because I know that 

1000
00:59:21,200 --> 00:59:24,360
astrology has already been used 
in really corrupt ways for a 

1001
00:59:24,360 --> 00:59:26,040
long time. 
And it's part of the history of 

1002
00:59:26,040 --> 00:59:29,000
astrology actually. 
You know that it's gets driven 

1003
00:59:29,000 --> 00:59:32,840
underground and persecuted when 
it becomes too available to the 

1004
00:59:32,840 --> 00:59:35,160
people and the people start to 
feel liberated by it. 

1005
00:59:35,160 --> 00:59:39,600
And then it continues to be used
by kings, by military rulers, by

1006
00:59:39,600 --> 00:59:43,640
Ronald Reagan, etcetera. 
But you know, with any 

1007
00:59:43,640 --> 00:59:47,280
technology, I think there's 
potentials to use it for really 

1008
00:59:47,280 --> 00:59:49,680
beautiful, generative life 
nourishing ways and very 

1009
00:59:49,680 --> 00:59:52,680
destructive ways. 
So maybe we'll just finish up 

1010
00:59:52,680 --> 00:59:56,000
with you, Haley and and I'll 
revisit this, this question that

1011
00:59:56,000 --> 00:59:59,160
I feel like I've already asked 
you, but maybe I can ask it in a

1012
00:59:59,160 --> 01:00:02,480
different way now around, you 
know, what Gary has offered in 

1013
01:00:02,480 --> 01:00:06,000
terms of this being a time 
capsule and what you've also 

1014
01:00:06,000 --> 01:00:09,440
talked to in that. 
And then the engagement that you

1015
01:00:09,440 --> 01:00:12,920
had with with markets and this 
potential that maybe the market 

1016
01:00:12,920 --> 01:00:19,080
is also a relic of the past. 
You know, soon if, if there's 

1017
01:00:19,080 --> 01:00:24,000
like one prayer that you want to
send out with this film as it 

1018
01:00:24,240 --> 01:00:29,240
gets distributed, you know, in 
Mass and all kinds of people get

1019
01:00:29,240 --> 01:00:33,200
to see it, What is that prayer? 
How does it infuse those who 

1020
01:00:33,200 --> 01:00:34,840
view it and what the world 
becomes? 

1021
01:00:35,760 --> 01:00:39,760
It's difficult because think I 
see the release of the film as a

1022
01:00:39,760 --> 01:00:42,760
death, right? 
Like, it's actually not a birth,

1023
01:00:43,760 --> 01:00:46,600
at least for me, right? 
For me, it's a death. 

1024
01:00:46,960 --> 01:00:50,520
It's a full cycle. 
And so I have to mourn that it 

1025
01:00:50,520 --> 01:00:54,880
no longer belongs to me and my, 
like, you know, curated womb. 

1026
01:00:55,440 --> 01:00:58,640
And that it now is. 
Yeah, I guess to extend the 

1027
01:00:58,640 --> 01:01:01,520
metaphor being raised by 
everyone else's, like 

1028
01:01:01,520 --> 01:01:06,080
perceptions and how they're 
going to take the film and like 

1029
01:01:06,080 --> 01:01:08,760
stories that they're lessons 
they're going to take for men or

1030
01:01:08,760 --> 01:01:10,760
new perspectives that they could
take from it. 

1031
01:01:10,760 --> 01:01:18,000
My hope, you know, is that it 
opens people's minds to 

1032
01:01:18,320 --> 01:01:23,080
astrology as something more than
just like a, you know, back of 

1033
01:01:23,080 --> 01:01:26,840
the newspaper sunshine horoscope
that it's, you know, not a 

1034
01:01:26,840 --> 01:01:30,640
pseudoscience and, you know, the
pejorative sense that it's 

1035
01:01:30,640 --> 01:01:33,680
something ancient or that it's 
something wise. 

1036
01:01:34,320 --> 01:01:38,240
There's wisdom to it that is 
beyond all of us and that there 

1037
01:01:38,240 --> 01:01:40,280
are different pockets of 
astrology. 

1038
01:01:40,360 --> 01:01:42,840
Again, it's not a monolith, 
obviously. 

1039
01:01:42,840 --> 01:01:45,960
Like I didn't even touch Eastern
astrology and to touch Vedic, I 

1040
01:01:45,960 --> 01:01:48,880
didn't touch Mayan astrology. 
I didn't touch any of that 

1041
01:01:48,880 --> 01:01:50,520
because that's not my story to 
tell. 

1042
01:01:50,760 --> 01:01:53,240
And otherwise, it's been a very 
long movie. 

1043
01:01:54,200 --> 01:01:58,800
And yeah, it's just to open up 
this world with, like, a new 

1044
01:01:58,800 --> 01:02:02,400
lens and something that 
Christine, who's in the film, 

1045
01:02:03,080 --> 01:02:07,520
she's British and something she 
had said to me off camera after 

1046
01:02:07,520 --> 01:02:11,600
she watched it. 
And was that she also just hopes

1047
01:02:11,600 --> 01:02:16,160
that it encourages other people 
to, you know, if they're 

1048
01:02:16,160 --> 01:02:20,640
interested in filmmaking, even 
to a slight degree, that they 

1049
01:02:20,760 --> 01:02:23,680
know that anything's possible, 
that you can just make 

1050
01:02:23,680 --> 01:02:26,640
something, you know, and that 
you can make your own movie 

1051
01:02:26,640 --> 01:02:29,240
about astrology. 
And that she hopes to see more 

1052
01:02:29,600 --> 01:02:32,400
documentaries about astrology 
from all these other 

1053
01:02:32,400 --> 01:02:35,920
perspectives, 'cause this is 
just one piece of the pie, you 

1054
01:02:35,920 --> 01:02:39,920
know? 
And so it's just to kind of 

1055
01:02:40,000 --> 01:02:44,160
maybe make a nudge, nudge 
something forward, nudge like a 

1056
01:02:44,160 --> 01:02:47,320
perspective forward. 
If I had a hope for this 

1057
01:02:47,360 --> 01:02:52,040
document, it is it is that just 
a little, just a new perspective

1058
01:02:53,040 --> 01:02:57,240
and the importance, you know, 
the importance of taking 

1059
01:02:57,240 --> 01:03:00,640
something seriously that maybe 
others have just deemed 

1060
01:03:00,640 --> 01:03:04,000
ridiculous. 
And I think that's always been 

1061
01:03:04,160 --> 01:03:09,640
the work that I make has shown, 
I hope has shown like reverence 

1062
01:03:10,000 --> 01:03:14,120
and deference to perspectives. 
The world at large make deem 

1063
01:03:14,120 --> 01:03:16,840
silly. 
I find it difficult to watch 

1064
01:03:16,840 --> 01:03:20,880
things sometimes where you can 
tell that, you know, the film 

1065
01:03:20,880 --> 01:03:25,400
makers behind it or the team 
behind it don't really care, you

1066
01:03:25,400 --> 01:03:29,120
know, or don't really like, give
reverence to their subjects. 

1067
01:03:29,120 --> 01:03:31,560
It's, it is more of a sideshow, 
right? 

1068
01:03:31,560 --> 01:03:35,400
It's more of a freak show. 
And I I take great care to make 

1069
01:03:35,400 --> 01:03:39,800
sure that I'm never treating 
anyone in my films or around my 

1070
01:03:39,800 --> 01:03:44,160
films, Like I'm just kind of 
popping in for a day, showing 

1071
01:03:44,160 --> 01:03:47,880
something weird or kooky, and 
then popping back out. 

1072
01:03:49,320 --> 01:03:51,280
Well, thank you both for this 
conversation. 

1073
01:03:51,280 --> 01:03:54,400
I, you know, as a professional 
astrologer and someone who's 

1074
01:03:54,400 --> 01:03:58,120
really devoted to the field and 
also, you know, I feel really 

1075
01:03:58,120 --> 01:04:00,720
engaged with its growth and 
evolution. 

1076
01:04:01,080 --> 01:04:05,280
I just really want to appreciate
both of you for your dedication 

1077
01:04:05,360 --> 01:04:08,240
to the field also. 
And yeah, Gary, thank you so 

1078
01:04:08,240 --> 01:04:12,720
much for being an ancestor, you 
know, to all of us and a 

1079
01:04:12,720 --> 01:04:15,520
transmitter of uranium 
intelligence. 

1080
01:04:15,520 --> 01:04:17,240
And I really hope to. 
Yeah. 

1081
01:04:17,240 --> 01:04:19,640
Learn more about your practice, 
then hope you get to keep 

1082
01:04:19,640 --> 01:04:22,400
practicing well past your Uranus
return.

01:04:22,560 --> 01:04:25,000
Thank you. 
Haley, thank you for for your 

1084
01:04:25,000 --> 01:04:27,960
interest and for making this 
film and bringing forward 

1085
01:04:27,960 --> 01:04:31,880
possibilities that you know 
hopefully will spur new interest

1086
01:04:31,880 --> 01:04:34,000
in astrology and generative 
interest in it. 

1087
01:04:34,240 --> 01:04:36,960
I hope it does. 
Thank you so much for your time.

1088
01:04:37,600 --> 01:04:40,360
Yes, for having us all. 
You're welcome, It's really nice

1089
01:04:40,360 --> 01:04:41,360
to meet both of you.
