So you do know what you are, but you don't know why you are. So Libra means it's a constellation. There's 88 constellations. that are accepted by astronomers. And one of them is Libra. And the path that the sun and the moon and all the planets travel in is called the zodiac.

It's confined to a plane because the same proto-solar system disk from which we formed out of, all the planets came out of a nebular cloud, a cloud of gas, dust, rocks, and so forth that came from a pre-existing star that exploded, creating what's called a supernova. The supernova provided the materials to make not only the Earth, but the entire solar system, including the sun.

That happened about 5 billion years ago. And 4 billion years ago, the Earth formed out of that cloud. The spin of that disk, all things have a spin associated with them, like a figure skater. She's spinning around on her axis or whatever. She can have her arms out. Brings them in, she spins faster. That's called conservation of angular momentum. Spin is a type of angular momentum.

The whole disc is spinning in a plane. It's like this desk, this table that we're sitting at. If you're listening, you imagine a flat table. It's spinning. A circular disc is spinning with a certain direction. All the objects are moving in that same direction due to conservation of this term called angular momentum. The sun apparently moves in that position.

Obviously, we're rotating around the sun, but it looks like the sun's coming around us. The moon is, Jupiter. So on the day you were born, there's a constellation behind the sun from our perspective that was Libra on September 26. And that was the day that you were born. That determines the fact that you're a Libra. But there's a problem.

In December, where we are now, the sun is actually in a different constellation, the one that doesn't exist according to the zodiac that was created something like 6,000, 5,000 years ago. It's called Ophiuchus. So there's a certain segment of people born in a 17-day stretch. in December, late November to early December, that are actually Ophiuchins or Ophiuchuses or whatever.

So that should obliterate astrology as any semblance of a science because they didn't even know this constellation existed. And yet something like 12% of all people share that constellation. So it's just complete nonsense. There's no validity to it. Twins that are born on the same day have radically different histories, past, futures.

and there's no predictive power to it, and that's what science is about, right? We want to make a hypothesis, test it, iterate on it, and have confirmation of it, and there's zero, in fact, for astrology.
