Skyline Drive

Why tune in?

The opening line of Skyline Drive's first episode is:

"I don't believe in astrology, but astrology keeps happening to me."

I instantly got hooked.

I don't believe in astrology, but every once in a while, I go into a rabbit hole of astrological charts. Watch astrology-related videos on YouTube. I read about my sign and try to find similarities or things that don't relate to me at all.

I'm a Libra Sun, Sagittarius Moon, and Cancer Rising. Which should make me an indecisive, adventurer with a kind heart?

Astrology is a fun hobby, a tool for learning more about oneself, and a lucrative business. It speaks to people's desire to know the future and has the strength to tap into our deepest insecurities and fears.

The first episode is a bundle full of emotions.

From a conversation with A.J. Jacobs. A person who decided to live a life biblically for 1 year, to sweet and vulnerable discussion with Mangesh's mother on the story of her arranged marriage and what role astrology played there.

Quote, I loved from the first episode: "Astrology is true the same way a poem is true."

Who would love Skyline Drive?

Taking astrology seriously is not serious. You'd be made fun of for having astrology as a hobby or simply for believing in it.

If you are a believer or a curious explorer, you'll feel snug and safe with the stories of people who share their connection with astrology and the mysterious stars.

Mangesh takes us on a valuable journey to figuring out what astrology means to him, his family, his culture, and the people he talks to.

If the first episode indicates something, then the upcoming 7 episodes will be filled with diverse experiences of people who ponder, what's up there in the stars?

Caution: forget your axe at home!
