There's no evidence for astrology. In fact, there's many, many random controlled trials, double-boned studies that show not only is it... It's almost counter to the evidence. Like, And they say that a monkey can throw a dart at a stock chart and get โ€“ do better than most hedge fund managers or something like that. Actually, astrologers are even worse. Like I don't even know.

A protozoa can throw a dart. It's almost anti-correlated with what reality is. So no, there's certainly no validity to that. And I had a provocative tweet, whatever, post recently. And it was about โ€“ there's actually โ€“ we believe there are 12 zodiac signs. And that dates back to the Persians and the Babylonians and how they divided up them.

I don't know why. And so they love things that divide it evenly into it. 10 does. But anyway, hashtag fail for the Babylonians. But they divided it up into 12 zones. 12 zodiac signs.

Okay. So it's determined by the position of the sun. What constellation was the sun in on the day you were born? September 26th. So that means that the sun was in the constellation Virgo. Oh, no. You were a Libra? Libra. Libra.
