Join Michelle and Janine for a discussion about Astrology including an overview of how a horoscope chart is created; the signs, qualities, elements, placements, houses, and planets and how they all work together to create a look into you, astrologically. What will the stars predict for you based on the location, date, and time of your birth? More importantly, will you actually be able to decipher your chart? In Janine’s opinion, they are not easy and she still can’t read her chart…maybe one of our listeners can help her. This episode only scratches the mere surface of this topic though as Janine and Michelle are absolutely not experts; they are simply like all the other Millennials searching for meaning and purpose without the rigidity of organized religion. Plus, it’s fun, and both Michelle and Janine love stargazing. So, come along with us on an auditory journey, ripe with sound effects, singing, accents, and a few references to previous UGA episodes (bonus if you can tell which ones ;)
