In episode three of What Time Were You Born? , I read the chart of Olivier Award-winning stage icon and West End-to-Broadway powerhouse Layton Williams. A Virgo Sun who balances proactive preparation with an off-switch, a Sagittarius Rising bringing pure fire, passion, joy, and larger-than-life Jupiterian energy, and a Capricorn Moon embodying the ultimate Broadway iceberg.

In this episode, we unpack that alchemy: how someone who made their West End debut at 11 years old balances a relentless Virgo work ethic with an absolute refusal to live a rigid, over-prepared life. We talk about the thrill of showing up 80% ready, why New York forces you to hustle ten times harder, and how we met dying in the back of a humbling Pilates class before I saw Latyon's face on a Broadway marquee weeks later. And then we get into ancestral connection. We look at Layton's Mars in Cancer and trace what cracked open when he traveled to Jamaica for Who Do You Think You Are? , reconciling Blackness and queerness as a sacred both/and, and what it really means to embody Tina Turner as an iceberg in Titanique to standing ovations every night.

I read the chart of SNL legend, Las Culturistas co-host, and Broadway's newest leading man, Bowen Yang. Four planets in Scorpio including a Venus cazimi he explains himself, a Gemini moon, and a celestial glam Libra rising: we get into it all. Timestamps: 0:00 Teaser 0:55 Intro: Bowen Yang's Scorpio Stellium & Celestial Glam 2:36 Growing Up with the Chinese Zodiac & Shifting Perspectives on Astrology 7:13 Being a Scorpio Stellium in the Public Eye: "Look at Me, Don't Look at Me" 8:56 Satirizing Media Figures on SNL & Managing Public Perception 12:36 Mystery as a Bridge & Balancing Dialectics (Britney Spears & Long Island Smarts) 14:46 Libra Rising, 9th House Gemini Moon & Multinational Roots 18:01 Air Signs, Levity & The Iconic QVC Blooper 22:42 What Makes a "Third Space" (and Why Democracy Needs Them) 25:08 Unpacking the Gemini Moon: Interpersonal Awareness & Verbal Safety 29:15 Final Fantasy XIV, Active Nihilism & Creating Meaning Through Connection 34:04 Why Critics Hate Astrology (Misogyny, Myth & Joseph Campbell) 37:28 Resetting After SNL: Permission Structures & Industry Gatekeepers 41:57 Filtering Criticism: Satoshi Kon's Perfect Blue & Staying Real 49:04 Monoculture Today: Titanic, the Iceberg Sketch & Oh, Mary! 51:11 Bowen's Chart Deep Dive: Venus Cazimi in Scorpio & Jupiter Square 1:00:23 Venus Conjunct Pluto & The True Definition of Trust 1:03:50 How to Trust the Unknown: Rachel Botsman & Charles Feltman's Frameworks 1:08:51 Creative Self-Trust, Internet Noise & Overcoming Competence Anxiety 1:12:08 The Mystery of Beyoncé's Uncle Johnny & Capricorn Nieces 1:17:26 Embracing Discomfort & Unlearning the SNL Sprint for Broadway 1:20:17 "Have Fun, Don't Rush": Oh, Mary! on Broadway & Outro Bowen Yang has four planets in Scorpio and is also one of the most public, beloved comedic voices of his generation. In this episode we sit with that contradiction: what it's like to be a "look at me, don't look at me" sign living in front of millions of people, and how he's learned to regulate it. We talk about resetting after SNL, filtering real criticism from noise, and a movie from 1997 that changed the way he reads about himself online. And then we talk about trust: what it means to earn it, lose it, and get it back. I bring in Rachel Botsman and Charles Feltman's frameworks, and somewhere in the middle of it all we end up talking about Beyoncé's Uncle Johnny, which neither of us saw coming.

In the first episode of What Time Were You Born?, I read the chart of Astrologer Maria DeSimone, who gave me my very first reading in 2013. Full circle moment. Maria DeSimone gave me my very first astrology reading in her kitchen when I was 21 years old. And I have never forgotten what it felt like to have someone read my chart with that much compassion, that much permission, and that much realness. Maria is one of the pioneers of video astrology, a 23-year professional Astrologer, founder of Insightful Astrology School, and honestly just a girl from Ozone Park who answered a Craigslist ad during a divorce and ended up changing the game. In this episode we pull up her chart, trace how her Mars in Cancer in the third house shaped the way she teaches, and follow the thread of her career from a 19-year-old intern named Dan to syndicated video horoscopes watched by millions. We also talk about her cousin John, who was an Astrologer in Manhattan, and Maria tells me a story about him that stopped me in my tracks.
