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.

In fact, if you'll permit me a kind of silly story, when I was dating my wife, who had become my wife in the beginning, she kind of thought it's fun, maybe we'll go see someone who can tell our fortunes, we belong together, so we went to an astrologer. And the astrologer asked me a bunch of questions. When were you born, obviously. Oh, no, she asked me, what's your sign? So I said, I'm a Gemini.

And she said, OK, cool. And then she told me a bunch of things. And at the end, I said, I just want to double check. I was playing kind of a little bit of a jerk sometimes. So I said, I just want to confirm. Gemini is born in September. I'm born September 9th. She said, oh, no, no, that's a Virgo. But the same things are going to happen to you anyway. It didn't change her outcome.
