This week, Lisa and Sarah investigate the history of astrology and discuss what, if anything, is written in the stars.


They track astrology from its ancient origins to modern-day, AI-powered apps, check their own compatibility (will these two ever get married?), and invite us all to learn a little more about ourselves through our birth charts.


Whether you're witch-curious or a longtime practitioner, join these only-sometimes-skeptical explorers on their spiritual journey—this time, in the stars.
