I feel like Christine really nailed this. Very thoughtful approach. Really nice to bump into this video. Thank you
Actual, in depth astrology is really awesome
The nonsense, meme, quiz apps, astrology is ridiculous
🌌🌟🧭⏳
Pluto discovered in 1930, downgraded in 2006, astrologers: WTF?
No, astrologers have not cared. Because the astronomical definition is irrelevant.
Interesting analysis. I wouldn't pay for anyone to read my chart, but cool idea
When you get a proper natal chart based on birth time, date, place, it is extremely insightful, well worth a couple bucks (of disposable income)
Where is the piece??
Great video, thanks for sharing.
I’m a therapist in training and like geeking out/connecting with clients who are into it. I enjoy talking with friends and other people about it too :) Nothing quite like looking at a person’s birth chart 🙃
Did the astrologers ask the same questions once they saw your birth chart?
Solid.
please dont use co-star. its not accurate and often gets the rising sign and degrees wrong.
5:00 hilarious.
I think that basing astrology off facts is missing the point.
Everything you need to know about astrology in one sentence.
Yeah thats the sum up of Astrology
She literally says "astrologers say, 'we never said this was a science.'" And it's true. An astrology reading is a therapy session that for some people is more accessible.
Astrology is weirdly accurate, but it's claims for why it's accurate are inaccurate themselves. Either way, it's still a helpful to tool to keep yourself in a state of constant introspection. You just shouldn't take it a predetermined
There is an earthly way to use astrology to describe the 3 ways which we experience each of the 4 elements.
Astrologers going as far as literally defining things in the sky that would require a highly psychedelic state in order to see those things, are not in it for the right reasons
WHAT! Carl Jung used astrology in his psychological practice...
Cool video 😊 But is 'legitimated' a word??
Thats what I thought. Legitimised more like
it is now :D

Ah yess I can’t wait for all of the fighting that will take place in this comment section
Astrology inspired Astronomy and some forms of Math, like Geometry. Stop bashing Astrology.
Astrology was never legitimate with anybody with any sense. She is silly.
Except the Mesopotamians I guess.
Interesting topic, but I couldn't watch more than 45 seconds of it. Why does The New Yorker think that it's appropriate to feature a narrator who vocal fries?? Hiring vocal fryers as narrators is offensive to the ears and brains of many viewers, because, unlike lisping or stuttering, frying is deliberate. To me, it's equivalent to the middle finger. Not cool.
Looking for a quick horoscope overview, thought New Yorker might provide it. Definitely put off by the fry merchant's passive aloof grating. Her sentences didn't quite upsweep and land questioning marks. Was comatose/poisoned after 4 minutes. Never heard the term Vocal Fryer/frying. Perfect. UK/GB has the same problem now, esp. strident females who grate metal. The males just shout.
It can also a regional thing or just how someone talks and she did the reporting so they "got" her. Seems like a small aspect of someone's presentation to get so mad about.
Is this the National Inquirer channel in disguise? Because I can’t believe the New Yorker would give this nonsense one minute of time. I feel sorry for the writer. She has embarrassed herself taking this subject seriously.
what do you mean? this is no different than covering any other cultural phenomena
