- So let's get to the news.
And we're going to start today with a story
about a motivational mom.
Pranav Sapra and his mother Poonam
have a viral Instagram account
where Pranav shares his mom's pearls of wisdom
with the world.
And here's a window into some of those insights.
Some days you have to paint your own rainbows
and silver linings.
Even marathons are run one step at a time.
I like this one very much.
Normalize parents acting like kids sometimes.
So Pranav, thank you for sharing your mom with us,
and let's follow her in every way that we can.
(audience clapping)
And tonight is the full harvest moon.
That's gotta mean something astrologically significant.
I would love to find out about it
in our wonderful astrology report.
(crowd cheering) (upbeat music)
Here to help us is astrologer extraordinaire
and a friend of this show, Aliza Kelly.
Hi Aliza. - Hi Drew.
I'm so happy to be back.
- I love hanging out with you.
I grew up in, when I was like,
in the 90s in particular, in the 80s and 90s,
astrology was so ubiquitous, it was everywhere.
It sort of feels like it kind of went,
like it dipped down a little bit in the late 90s
and the 00s and the 2010s, whatever those are called.
I am telling you, there is no hotter subject right now,
and the interest and the connection to it
is so alive and well.
I love when you're here, because I think there's,
I think people are looking
for connection right now and meaning.
Will you share with us what's going on this month?
- Well, yes, I am happy to share what's going on this month,
because there is so much going on this month.
So I think that one of the important things to remember
with astrology is that it affects everybody differently.
And everybody is going to have a different experience
with these planets,
but something that everyone is going to know
is Mercury retrograde.
So Mercury retrograde starts October 13th.
So we should all expect for things
to be a little bit more slow.
We're gonna have to reel it in a little bit,
because it's going to be a little,
we're gonna have more miscommunications.
It's gonna be a little messy, but that's okay,
because that's just part of the organic process of the sky.
- Can I recommend a favorite app of mine?
It's called, and it's just as simple and straightforward,
I've never heard an app titled this way,
ismercuryinretrograde.com.
I guess it's an app and a website,
but when you go on it, it will say yes or no, and that's it.
I really love it. I highly recommend it.
All right. Let's get into all this moon business.
Tonight is the full harvest moon.
What does that mean for us Earthlings?
- So, during a full moon,
we have maximum exposure from the moon.
We have full visibility, so we can see everything clearly:
the good, the bad, the ugly,
but what's really, really interesting about October
is that we actually have two full moons this month.
Usually we just have one,
but we have another full moon on October 31st,
which is Halloween, so it's extra spooky.
- First of all. (Aliza laughs)
- I know.
- Second of all, is it a blue moon
when there are two moons in a month?
- Yes. - 'Cause everybody says
once in a blue moon,
which sounds like very, very occasionally,
but the meaning of a blue moon is two in one month,
two full moons. - You are an astrologer.
You are an astrologer already.
- I'm telling you I spent the entire 90s
with my nose in every astrology book and numerology.
And I think there's so much celestial,
scientific, spiritual truth.
And if you love astrology, you love astronomy.
There's math. I mean, there's so much to all of this.
Thank you, Aliza, so much
- Thank you Drew. - for this chilling
and thrilling news that you've given us today.
We love you so much.
- We love you. - I love you.
- Happy full moon.
- [Drew] Happy full moon and happy October 1st.
