Aliza Kelly
Smart.
Adam Pally
Bless me.
John Gabris
Aliza.
Aliza Kelly
Yes.
John Gabris
Before we even like get into anything, I just want to like know, make sure that I know like what you like to like call all this because like some people, you know, everyone's got their own like professional title or whatever.
Adam Pally
How would you describe yourself?
John Gabris
I want to make sure that we're not mistitling or.
Aliza Kelly
Yes, yes, I appreciate it. I'm an astrologer.
Adam Pally
Yes.
Aliza Kelly
Yeah.
Adam Pally
Heck yeah.
Aliza Kelly
I'm an author, I'm a host. But for this, I'm an astrologer.
John Gabris
Okay. Yeah. Right.
Aliza Kelly
Well, I mean, I have to say that like I have a lot of questions for you guys.
John Gabris
Oh.
Aliza Kelly
Because it is not every day. I mean, I don't know your sexual orientation, but it is not every day that I'm sitting across from two maybe straight men talking about astrology.
Adam Pally
Two straight men. Okay, so 95%. I don't know.
John Gabris
Yeah. I would say I'm not closing the book. I don't want to close any doors. And certainly there are ones that have been left open. I don't, to be quite honest with you. I don't know if I'm emotionally ready for our next guest.
Adam Pally
I'm like kind of informed on horoscopes just from knowing a bit about it and hearing a bit about it. Living in Los Angeles, being friends with 40 year old women. But I'm very curious. Cause we're gonna look at our birth chart, like have a professional talk to us about it. And it's, it's.
John Gabris
Yeah. And I also am like always curious with birth charts. Like it's not just about me, but it's like the people I've chosen to surround myself with too, I often look at. Like, I'm interested to see yours.
Adam Pally
I know, I'm very curious what yours is.
John Gabris
Yeah, I'm interested to see, like to hear about my wife and my kids. Like stuff like that. Like just you want to know like where what everybody's, what deck everyone's playing with, you know, how do we fit.
Adam Pally
This into the idea of staying alive?
John Gabris
Well, I think it's mental health.
Adam Pally
It's. If it helps you in any way.
John Gabris
I think that's the point of all of this. Right? Like if, if you, if we take.
Adam Pally
A little from every single guest, like we'll have improved ourselves. It's like we might as well check out all the study all the martial arts.
John Gabris
Yeah. There are people.
Adam Pally
Fu is strong, but I also need to learn monkey style.
John Gabris
Exactly. There are people that, that swear by this as like their mental. You know, they look every day to see where the moon is, to see how it affects where they're feeling from the day they were born. Like, yeah, this is part of it. Mental health for a lot of people. So I feel like we, we had to look into it.
Adam Pally
I, I'm. Oh down, I, you know me, I'm, I'm agnostic. I'm down to learn anything.
John Gabris
I mean, and it is, it is and I'm interested in it.
Adam Pally
Well, let's get Aliza in here and figure out what I'm going to.
John Gabris
Stay alive charts. Staying alive.
Adam Pally
No, this is the intro.
John Gabris
Oh, then I've really beat you.
Adam Pally
Oh, you smoked me.
John Gabris
Then.
Aliza Kelly
This is, you know, I'm like, is this a trap? Is it a trick? Like this is not my usual demo.
Adam Pally
You know, like two weirdly open minded guys. Famously.
John Gabris
This is like not for straight dudes.
Aliza Kelly
I mean it is for them. I would love for straight dudes to have these conversations, but I have found that they don't happen very often.
Adam Pally
Yes, it's very gendered astrology. Really. It's very, I'm kind of surprised by that.
John Gabris
Like with all the like, you know, quote unquote performative male aspects.
Adam Pally
Oh, there's some dudes who are into astrology for sure. Or pretending to be. To get laid, right?
Aliza Kelly
Yes, yes. I mean you have that like ayahuasca dude who can tell you about moon phases and then also gaslight you after.
Adam Pally
You got like little beaded bracelets on and shit.
Aliza Kelly
Yeah, but like with those men aside, you know, I feel like the conversations around astrology are often very contentious with men.
Adam Pally
Well, I think it's like old school.
John Gabris
Interesting. Most stuff is, most stuff is contentious.
Aliza Kelly
Yeah, maybe that's right.
Adam Pally
It's also just like, oh, it's for women. So fuck that. You know what I mean? There's like, there's like that male attitude that's incorrect. But that, that's like, oh, that's chick.
John Gabris
Stuff or girl stuff Also I think, you know, a lot of men, as you get older, you become more defensive.
Adam Pally
Yeah.
John Gabris
In, in what? You know, as fact. And it's like your mind gets less open, it closes. So like, you know, it's, it's no matter what, telling a man like you can't do that becomes inherently rage filled.
Aliza Kelly
You know. And I also, I wonder, you know, because astrology, and we'll talk about it of course is like very much inward reflection. You know, we have to look at ourselves and we have to be willing to really consider the multidimensionality of who we are and how we operate and our relationships with our parents and where we come from and all of these, like, very important things. And I don't know, I feel like sometimes men haven't started doing that work, you know? Like, I can't believe that a lot of men aren't even therapy still.
Adam Pally
We're different than a lot of guys. But that is very true. Like, men are like, no, I kind of know how to fix myself. It's like, with alcohol. Punch a wall, I'll do squats.
John Gabris
I go for long walks where I scream into the East River. Yeah.

Adam Pally
I, like, when I was younger, watched 90210 and read, like the Babysitter's Club books.
Aliza Kelly
Oh, yeah.
Adam Pally
To be able to talk to the girls at school about it. Sure. So now I feel like learning astrology is like a way to, like, connect. Cause, like, I love just saying, like, well, I'm an Aquarius. And, like, I don't even know what that means.
John Gabris
Is that astrology?
Aliza Kelly
It is, yeah. Yeah.
Adam Pally
Do you know what you are?
John Gabris
I'm a Pisces. I know that. And I also do believe in some of that stuff. I think I do believe that, like, you know, there's certain qualities of, like, Pisces that are, you know, I don't know, go with the flow.
Aliza Kelly
Yeah. They're the fish.
John Gabris
Yeah.
Aliza Kelly
Fishies.
John Gabris
Yeah.
Aliza Kelly
Yeah.
John Gabris
So I think that some of that stuff is right.
Aliza Kelly
Yes. Yeah. I mean, I am I.
John Gabris
Right here.
Aliza Kelly
I mean, that's.
Ad Read Voice
That's.
Aliza Kelly
Is that a trap for me, right, to prove it's real?
John Gabris
No, no, no. I mean, like, I.
Adam Pally
The funny thing is, I see those memes, like, those horoscope memes online, and it's always like, aries, be like. Or whatever. And it's always. It's like, that's maybe true for everyone. Like, some of the language of it is just like. And I think that's what's intriguing because, like, you're saying it's introspective, but there's also an element of, like, you're interpreting it a little bit too. And you can, like, as I always say, like, whatever works for you. You know what I mean? Like, you're like. You're like, I am that. Or I aspire to be that. If that helps you on. On your path or whatever, then, like, it's working.
Aliza Kelly
Yeah. I mean, astrology has, like, astrology loves the Internet, right? Like, astrology loves meme culture because it' something that can be flattened, it could be very easily disseminated. It can be something that people. It kind of just like, appeals on this very sort of guttural, reactive level, which is fine. Like, that's astrology on the Internet. You know what I mean? And, like, I fuck with that, too. Like, that's fun. I've been doing this, you know, I have been doing the work in tandem with being on the Internet. So I appreciate it all. But then there's also, like, very deep therapeutic work that we could do from astrology, too. And that's lovely and powerful and very meaningful. So, like, you know, it has levels and layers, and depending on what you are using it for, like, if you're using it to just send your friend a meme, like, gorgeous, right? No notes, that's perfect. But if you're using it to, like, really start to try to find confidence or courage or unpack difficult things that have happened in your life, like, we can do that also.
Adam Pally
Well, let's start unpacking all the beautiful things in our lives.
John Gabris
You know, I think I left my duffel bag of them. Difficult things in my life at home.
Adam Pally
But we're holding birth charts.
Aliza Kelly
We are holding birds.
Adam Pally
We're holding birth charts that you did for us.
Aliza Kelly
Yes.
Adam Pally
Prepared by Aliza.
Aliza Kelly
Yes.
Adam Pally
Now what. What are we looking at? Or what do you want to assume our listeners have no idea even what.
Ad Read Voice
A birth chart is?
Aliza Kelly
Yes.
Adam Pally
You know what? We don't.
John Gabris
You know, assume you're hosts, Joan. Assume you're hosting Eliza.
Adam Pally
Gilded birth chart before you show up.
John Gabris
I assume your hosts don't know what a birth chart is. Walk us through this.
Aliza Kelly
So a birth chart is a snapshot of the sky at the exact, exact moment that you were born. And every single person has a birth chart. Every single event also has a birth chart. Right. Like, anything that exists.
Adam Pally
Anything you get down to a time. Right.
Aliza Kelly
Anything you could get down to a time. Yeah. So buildings have birth charts, countries have.
John Gabris
Birth charts, but it's all related to the sky.
Aliza Kelly
Yeah. So it's where all of the planets were in the sky at that moment. And what I think is also really cool about that and something I love about this work is that it invites a lot of history and a lot of sort of considering. You kind of have to be an archivist to really, really get into this work. Because the snapshot of the sky at the moment that you were born also means that that energy of whatever was happening in the world, in the place where you came into existence, is also something that exists within you. And like we were talking about this a few years ago with COVID babies, you know, in 2020, and those babies were like coming out of the womb, like sitting up, like ready to work, super serious. And it's like, yeah, that energy is going to be part of them. That's gonna be something in the sky. Because that's, you know, if we are treating this as the sort of the art of understanding what the planets were doing and how that informs who you are, that also means that the zeitgeist, that all of the cultural information, that what was going on politically, all of that metaphorically and symbolically lives within you too.
Adam Pally
It's a cosmic stew.
Aliza Kelly
It is.
John Gabris
My sister in law had a baby Covid and the baby came out and knew how to set zoom settings.
Adam Pally
Born with a little mask on.
John Gabris
Yeah, I don't know if that's. But like right away it could like do all. It could make all the stuff go behind you blurry and like get the sound right. It was wild to see like a six month old, like little.
Adam Pally
That's really good because we do zooms a lot for work. And you still haven't figured it out.
John Gabris
I know.
Aliza Kelly
Yeah, we need that.
John Gabris
Look at my birth chart.
Ad Read Voice
Hey.
Aliza Kelly
Oh, shit.
Ad Read Voice
Are you serious?
John Gabris
Yeah. Yeah.
Adam Pally
I didn't even realize you were a.
John Gabris
Capricorn moon, but can. So can I ask a question that I don't know if I'm gonna be able to articulate it to what I'm asking and forgive me for it being so rudimentary, but, like, why the sky? Why not the. Like in reference to, like, what about the way the planets are? What about the way the moon is or where we are from it to the sun? Like, why is that affecting our personality as opposed to the ocean or as opposed to the air, or as opposed to the. You know what I mean? Why the sky?
Aliza Kelly
Well, I. That, you know, the origins of astrology are very ancient and astrology and sky star gazing was really the outer limits of the human. It still is of the human experience of reality. And before the advent of telescopes, before we were able to sort of understand how the Earth moved around the sun in accordance with the solar system and all of these other planets, the sky was just this like massive unknown. Right. The ocean we now know is massively unknown. But I think that our ancient ancestors were like, this is still. Of the Earth, right? This is still. Yeah, this is something that we can still interact with we have dominion over.
Adam Pally
Perhaps also the sky is in everyone's life.
Aliza Kelly
Yeah.
Adam Pally
Like, no matter where you live, you have a sky.
John Gabris
Is it advantageous to be born underneath the sky as opposed to in a building?
Aliza Kelly
Sounds lovely.
John Gabris
Is there like some sort of like.
Adam Pally
Yeah, like do real astrology heads be like, I'm giving birth in the parking lot, my kid can see the sky.
Aliza Kelly
So that we can all take it in. Maybe in Europe. Maybe that's in like Scandinavia somewhere. Yeah.
Adam Pally
So what? Like, so the birth chart is a snapshot of where all the planets and celestial bodies were when we were born. And then from there we can discern like, oh, if Pluto was in this, or whatever is in this for you. That tends to lead to this in people and stuff like that. So that's what we're doing. So it's. This is like when someone's like, read my horoscope and you're like, oh, it says Leo is blah, blah, blah. That's like the entry level, like beginning. And now we are. This is like the deep dive into what's going on.
Aliza Kelly
Yes, exactly.
Adam Pally
Because this looks like nothing I've ever seen before.
John Gabris
Well, it's hard to make heads or tails.
Adam Pally
You know, there's symbols I don't even.
John Gabris
Read because it looks a little bit like the font is winged. But I'm making my way through it. So. Yeah. Okay, so let's start. Let's dig in, Right?
Aliza Kelly
Sure.
John Gabris
Do you think that we've done enough general exploration to start looking at the charts or is there anything else that we should know?
Aliza Kelly
I think that maybe I'll also mention, I mean, to the point of why are we looking at something celestial and not Earth based? There are a lot of Earth based concepts in astrology. So astrology, or at least what I practice, there's different types of astrology. What they practice in India is not really what they practice in the US predominantly, but the way that I practice is actually seasonally based. It's called tropical astrology because it's based on the Tropic of Cancer and Capricorn. So that does consist of that.
John Gabris
What is the Tropic of Cancer?
Aliza Kelly
It's the highest. It's the declination of the sun. So it's basically like, you know, when the sun reaches the Tropic of Cancer is when we have summer solstice. When it reaches the Tropic of Capricorn.
John Gabris
Is the turning of the season.
Aliza Kelly
So it's the.
Adam Pally
And they're latitudinal lines.
John Gabris
Yes.
Aliza Kelly
Around the moon, so top and bottom of Earth. So we're considering the role of seasons. We're considering, you know, the energy of a spring equinox versus Earth.
Adam Pally
Are you top or bottom? Yeah, I'm verse.
Aliza Kelly
I love it. That is how it operates.
Adam Pally
Yes, Earth is verse.
Aliza Kelly
That's Earth for you.

Your drink at Starbucks.
Aliza Kelly
So yeah, we can. Let's get into it. So you both gave me. Well at first you both gave me the same birth time. Did you know that?
Adam Pally
Well, that.
John Gabris
Well, that was. I don't. I think that was a clerical error. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Adam Pally
Cuz I was like there's no way we're both born at exactly 6am So I asked my mom and it was. I was 2. 35am Yeah.
Aliza Kelly
I love it. I love it. Yeah. I was like there is no way they're twinsies like this. This is very.
John Gabris
I wouldn't be surprised. But 6am for me and what time for you?
Adam Pally
2:35Am and a couple months before you, you know, like a month. Actually like six weeks before you and maybe 15 miles from you.
John Gabris
Yeah.
Adam Pally
That's really cute.
Aliza Kelly
It is cute. Yeah. So because of that you do have a lot of similarities in what we call the outer planets in your chart. So the outer planets are things that have more to do with your life mission. Big long term themes, less personality and more sort of like what you're working through long term, you know, over the course of your entire reality here. Right. How you are gonna be. You know, the themes around power dynamics, themes, around father figures, themes around where you come from. Yeah, a lot of daddy stuff in both charts.
Adam Pally
Oh, yeah, that makes sense. That sounds about right.
John Gabris
Yeah, that sounds about right.
Aliza Kelly
Yeah. But also, you know, being born in 1982 is an interesting time to be born. Who I mean. Cause it was an interesting time in the United States. It was an interesting time. It was the beginning of the AIDS epidemic. There was a lot of, like, tension around Reaganomics. Yeah, Reaganomics. It was sort of like this new era was coming in and Reagan is like crack was being sold crack on Amsterdam Avenue. It was crazy times, but it was. Yeah, it was an intense time of like, who's in charge, you know, who's running the show here.
Adam Pally
Well, at least that's changed.
Aliza Kelly
Yeah.
Adam Pally
Times are no longer intense.
Aliza Kelly
Yeah.
John Gabris
At least the political climate has been turned down.
Aliza Kelly
Yeah.
Adam Pally
1982, crazy time.
John Gabris
What was the. I wonder what, like, can I look up some stuff while we talk? Is that okay? Yeah, because like, I would love to know, like, what the. What the biggest record of the year.
Aliza Kelly
I. I love that. I think that, like, knowing also, like the record of the year, what was number one when you were born? Like, all of that lives in your charts.
Adam Pally
The one in the box office in 82.
John Gabris
Yeah. I mean, this makes total sense for. For me, best selling album of 1982 is Michael Jackson's Thriller.
Adam Pally
Oh, yeah, that's nice. You were molested by it.
John Gabris
Well, just cause. Yeah, well, some of that dark trauma.
Adam Pally
There comes another daddy issue.
John Gabris
I was one of the few people that worked at Neverland Ranch.
Adam Pally
What's the best. What's the biggest box office movie of 82? Is it E.T.
John Gabris
It'S gotta be E.T.
Adam Pally
Fuck.
Ad Read Voice
Yeah.
Adam Pally
I'm very proud of that, by the.
Aliza Kelly
Way that I pulled.
John Gabris
That makes sense. Yeah, so that makes sense. So it's like a lot of things are, you know, ET is an allegory for immigration.
Adam Pally
Yeah.
John Gabris
You know, so like, it's like we're starting to get.
Adam Pally
By the way, what we're doing right now is boy astrology.
John Gabris
Really.
Adam Pally
We looked up a movie and now we're like, oh, so kushb. ET this is like. We are like that horoscope shit is for the girls. So ET Actually means. And then we're doing exactly the same. It's really funny because this I'm getting on, I'm like, oh, yeah, this is.
Aliza Kelly
Good astrology to me. I think it's good astrology. I think that understanding.
John Gabris
I like to astrologerize the stars of Hollywood.
Aliza Kelly
Yeah.
Adam Pally
I want to Know what the box.
John Gabris
Office was doing when I was born?
Aliza Kelly
I think that understanding, having a context for sort of where, like, what you came into and that world is also, like, it's important work to do. You know, like, we have to. We're historians. Like, we gotta remember things or else, you know, never forget. Right.
John Gabris
In many ways. In many ways.
Adam Pally
I mean, I'm sure you're gonna get to a few more things, but, like, what is rising moon and sun? I know because, like, so. Because that's like the next level of astrology where someone's like, I'm a Sagittarius. Capricorn rising.
Aliza Kelly
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Adam Pally
Like, I have no fucking.
Aliza Kelly
Well, let me give you guys both your big three so that you can be armed with that wherever you go. And you can always deliver that information when there's, like, a spooky girl in the office who needs to know. So you are in Aquarius.
John Gabris
First of all, thank you for thinking that we work in an office when you find.
Adam Pally
We definitely talk to spooky girls.
Aliza Kelly
This is an office. I came into a corporate space. We're now in a creative space. But, you know, we have to interact.
John Gabris
Of course, of course.
Aliza Kelly
So you're an Aquarius sun, a Sagittarius rising, and a Aries moon.
Adam Pally
Okay.
Aliza Kelly
And you are a Pisces sun. You are a Pisces rising. And you are a Capricorn moon, double rising. Yes. So that's at 6am birth time. So you were born when the sun was rising.
Adam Pally
Oh, that makes sense.
Aliza Kelly
So your rising sign. Because the rising is what zodiac sign was coming up over the eastern horizon when you were born. Your zodiac sign is Pisces. Pisces rising. Pisces sun. So double Pisces energy.
Adam Pally
And that's actually really bad.
Aliza Kelly
Yeah.
John Gabris
Like, what is that?
Adam Pally
I hate to tell you this, but that's really, really bad.
John Gabris
So do I have testicular cancer? Like, what?
Adam Pally
I think with me being a Sagittarius rising, Sagittarius rising.
John Gabris
I should check. What is.
Adam Pally
There's the 5%.
John Gabris
What is the. So what? So now. So now that we have that, what are the prescriptive behaviors for these? Like, what does that mean?
Aliza Kelly
So your sun, which is sort of the default for when people look at their horoscope. It's like, usually what people.
Adam Pally
When they say, what's your sign?
Aliza Kelly
What's your sign? Yes, it's your sun sign. So your sun represents your external identity. It's sort of how you interface. It also shows you your proclivities, your preferences, sort of how you move through and shine in space. Right. Your rising sign shows you your perspective on reality. So your rising sign is gonna show you the recurring themes that happen in your life and the sort of patterns that you find yourself experiencing over and over and over again. And it also is like the world through your vantage. Right. So in a way, it also shows how you are going to relate and coexist with people. Because your rising sign is sort of how you expect to be treated and how you expect to be coexisting. Your moon is your emotional inner world. So this is your sensitivities. This is how you really feel about things.
Adam Pally
Can you run us through? Like what? Like, let's see, like Sagittarius Rising. That's how I would interact.
Aliza Kelly
Yes.
Adam Pally
So what are some common traits of that? So I can see if any. Hit for me.
Aliza Kelly
Yeah, sure. So Sagittarius Rising are storytellers.
Adam Pally
Check.
Aliza Kelly
They're adventurous.
Adam Pally
Okay.
Aliza Kelly
They love to. Their whole perspective on reality is like, I gotta live life and learn about everything and discover the world and be on this quest for knowledge. And it's like the sign of the. It's a very philosophically forward placement and then that with the Aquarius sun. Because Aquarius. I don't know if you know anything about Aquarius.
Adam Pally
Let it all rip.
Aliza Kelly
I don't know. So Aquarius is also. It's like the outsider sign. It's the weirdo. It's the one who does things differently. It's very future sort of thinking. It's very progressive. It's not afraid to, like, push back on systems. So the fact that you have this Sagittarius rising and then an Aquarius sign means that, like, you are marching to the beat of your own drum. You're not really going to care what other people think. You're doing things your own way. It's very sort of like, that's the path.
John Gabris
Okay.
Adam Pally
You're circling.
John Gabris
She's kind of pegging you down.
Adam Pally
And I've, you know, been dying. I guess it's 6% now.
John Gabris
Well, that doesn't mean anything. Okay. What is Pisces rising?
Adam Pally
Pisces sign. What does double Pisces sign?
Aliza Kelly
So double Pisces is. Well, Pisces is the last sign of the zodiac. So Aquarius is the second to last. Pisces is the last of the last. Whenever we get into these, like, final signs of the zodiac, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces, Pisces, we're very existential. We're sort of like leaving. Leaving the Plane, you know, like, we are moving into a different way of thinking and existing. And we're thinking big picture. And it's very sort of like, you know, we're imagining a different kind of future, right? So Pisces being the last sign is incredibly existential, incredibly sensitive. It picks up on energy, emotion. It is really sort of. It's very artistic, it's very creative, but it very much is like, not of this world. It has this sort of dreamy quality to definitely, you know, it can be a bit of an escapist. It can wanna run away from things. But it also. I mean, that's because it's. That's its defense, you know, how do you exist when you feel everything and you're trying to figure out, it's like, is this my feelings or is this someone else's feelings? So being Double Pisces in this way also means that being this creative, sensitive artist, right? Pisces are really artists, is a huge defining part of what your mission here is in this lifetime. But then you have a Capricorn moon, and Capricorn is very strict, very serious, very responsible. Doesn't want to have all the emotions, doesn't want to feel too much. Right? So there's a little bit of a push and pull between being the creative, sensitive artist that you are. But then also feeling like, but I have to be buttoned up. I gotta do things the right way. I gotta sort of like live, you know, I have to. And this is where the daddy issues come in, right? Like, I gotta make him happy. Him. Or also just like the collective society, the programming of feeling like you have to be good enough for the world.
Adam Pally
Yeah. The Double Pisces really nails down the are you mad at me? Facet, you know.
Aliza Kelly
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Adam Pally
Because it's the sensitivity.
John Gabris
I'm not seeing any of this at all.
Adam Pally
Your special, which drops this week is like literally a sensitive artist. Storytelling. Existential.
John Gabris
No, it's really. No, it's really quite. You really quite got me. You got me. No, like I was saying, I do subscribe to that. This kind of analysis, you know, and it does seem to like, kind of nail me down. I feel like one of the things I'm working on most in my own journey is not feeling everything all at once. I like, I walk around in my, like, natural state, a bit of an open wound and like, can't tell often what. Cause I just have feeling everybody's everything a lot. And it becomes mixed with my own. And it's just hard to nail down what is actually going on. Mine versus the actual subtext. I find often the subtext I'm feeling between people is correct because, I mean, that's my job as an actor is to read something, interpret subtext, and play and show that through action, you know? So I feel like I'm working on trying to not like, necessarily run away from it, but just find a way to, like, not feel everything all at once.
Aliza Kelly
Yeah, yeah. I mean, those are the boundaries, right? Those are the psychic boundaries. That's really important.
John Gabris
What does that mean, psychic boundaries?
Aliza Kelly
You know, there's. When you have this much sensitivity in a chart like you do, it is important to do to protect yourself. Protect yourself. You know? And I don't mean like you have to put salt around your bed or something. You know, you don't need to sage.
Adam Pally
Your house even if you want to. Your dog said no more salt.
Aliza Kelly
No more salt.
John Gabris
The fire department said no more sage.
Aliza Kelly
I think that, you know, it's like a meditation. Really important.
John Gabris
Is that something that you find helps Double Pisces meditation?
Aliza Kelly
Yeah, I mean, I would say that anything that. That gives you space to be alone, gives you space to process. Gives you space to. And space being really the operative word, you know, like you need the space in order to reflect and consider whether what you're feeling is yours or someone else's. And anything that you can do to create that space, that psychic space for yourself where you could be like, wait, is this my feeling or is that, am I picking up on someone else sadness? Am I taking on someone else's sadness? Because they're not really metabolizing it and I can do it for them. You know, there's definitely a lot of like, self sacrifice also with Pisces. It's the Jesus sign, you know, it has the martyr kind of quality to it.
John Gabris
I fight that quite a bit.
Aliza Kelly
Yeah.
Adam Pally
Wow.
Aliza Kelly
So it has that, you know, there's a piece of it that is like, well, if you can't do it, like, I'll do it for both of us. Right. But you are only responsible for yourself. Right? We have to be solely responsible. Yeah, we do. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Adam Pally
Someone has to be responsible for you.
John Gabris
Someone's gotta be responsible.
Adam Pally
Might as well be you. Holy shit.
John Gabris
I'm gonna need a five minute break.
Aliza Kelly
That's the space.
Adam Pally
Yeah. Go take your emotional space if you need it.
John Gabris
No, I'll just hit my vape.
Adam Pally
That's your emotional meditation of live resin.
John Gabris
Live resin can really help with double Pisces. Capricorn Moon does Aries.
Adam Pally
What does an Aries Moon mean for me.
Aliza Kelly
It is fiery. It's fiery.
Adam Pally
Meaning like it's.
Aliza Kelly
It's reactive. It's. It's intense. You know, it's. It burns really fast and then it gets over things. But then like damage could be done, you know.
Adam Pally
Oh my God.
John Gabris
Who booked you? Why. Why are we doing this? Other things to do.
Adam Pally
I'm too rattled. We got to. That's so crazy. Everything you said has been even right for me and aspirational. Like, the thing I love about myself is my adventurousness and I chase that and I like, I live by like that rule of experiencing new things, trying new things. It's like truly a foundational part of my personality. And it also is a sag rising. A sag rising.
Aliza Kelly
Yes, yes, yes. It's not in the union.
John Gabris
Unions are a big deal.

Ad Read Voice
The truth.
Aliza Kelly
Pick up a pack today. Angel soft.
Adam Pally
Soft and strong.
John Gabris
Simple. So take me through. Like what? What does all this stuff mean? Like the.
Adam Pally
Yeah. What are we looking at?
John Gabris
What are we looking at?
Aliza Kelly
Which stuff?
John Gabris
Well, like the colors and the, and the numbers and the symbols and the. The water, earth, fire, the natural planets. Like what, what does all this mean? Like, rudimentary. Walk me through this as best.
Aliza Kelly
We're looking at a circle primarily, which is a flattened two dimensional depiction of the sky when you were born. So that circle. And if you look.
John Gabris
I can see it. Yeah, I'm looking at yours.
Aliza Kelly
Experts.
John Gabris
Okay.
Aliza Kelly
Yeah. So you could keep doing it like that or does this not make sense?
John Gabris
Is this not the way?
Aliza Kelly
Well, you could look at it like a clock also. So at the 12 o' clock position would be looking straight up overhead.
John Gabris
Oh, okay. Okay.
Aliza Kelly
If you were to look at the Six o' clock position. That would be if you were to look straight down beneath your feet, go through the earth. That would be what? Exactly.
Adam Pally
Okay, I got it now.
Aliza Kelly
And then on the left, we have the eastern horizon. What's coming up over there? So that's your rising sign. And then on the. The right, the 3 o' clock position would be the west waning.
Adam Pally
Yeah, the west, yeah.
Aliza Kelly
Yes. Okay, so that's the orientation for this. So then every planet that you see.
Adam Pally
We should get these tattooed as tram stamps on our back.
Aliza Kelly
That's so cute. The girls would love it.
John Gabris
I'm gonna have to get rid of the one that says painted here. Yeah, so. But, okay, so, like, what are the. Are these the same?
Adam Pally
Yeah. What else can we learn from this?
John Gabris
Yeah.
Adam Pally
What else should we take away from that?
Aliza Kelly
So anything that is above the horizon line. So anything that is in the top half of this chart are things that were visible in the sky when you were born. Those were things that you could have seen right overhead. And anything that is below it would be anything that was underneath the Earth. So both of you were born when the sun was underneath the earth. You were both born at night in the dark. In the dark.
Adam Pally
In New York at the time.
Aliza Kelly
In New York, yeah. Imagine set the scene. Yeah.
John Gabris
On 73rd West 58th street in Rockville.
Adam Pally
Center, Long Island Mercy Hospital. The thing that made me kind of lock in and start to believe is maybe not the right word, but listen to astrology was when I learned that three. I've only had, like, three or four girlfriends my entire life, and all of them were Scorpios.
Aliza Kelly
Oh, really?
Adam Pally
Yeah. And I was like, oh, that can't be a coincidence.
Aliza Kelly
I know. Why?
John Gabris
Oh, yeah.
Aliza Kelly
I mean, Scorpio activates an area of your chart associated with past life. So that's that.
John Gabris
Can I ask you a question about.
Adam Pally
My partner ancestrally attracted to Scorpio?
Aliza Kelly
Well, there's something about Scorpios that you can't quite put your finger on. There's something about the energy and the connection that feels sort of like you're very drawn to it. There's a magnetism, but it lives in an area of your chart that often is a very difficult one for us to navigate in this lifetime. Because it's the past. Right. So why are we still in the past? Why are we interacting with it? Is it because there's a lesson that we still need to unpack from that? Is it something that we do need to bring into this life? And I would say the fact that these have Are not current relationships would indicate that it's something that you're still trying to reconcile, but maybe not for this lifetime.
Adam Pally
Okay.
John Gabris
Yeah, you got it. On the next one.
Aliza Kelly
Yeah.
John Gabris
Now, okay. My partner was born two weeks before me.
Aliza Kelly
Okay.
John Gabris
A year and two weeks. A year older. Sorry. Across town.
Aliza Kelly
Cured.
John Gabris
And is a Pisces, obviously.
Aliza Kelly
Wow, that's a lot of fishies.
John Gabris
Yeah, yeah, splain that shit.
Aliza Kelly
Well, so your chart actually can change based on the location that you're in. So you would have a different chart in Los Angeles, for example, both of you.
John Gabris
If I was born there.
Aliza Kelly
Well, yes, if you were born there. But even when you go there, there's something called astrocartography that people really like on the Internet right now.
Adam Pally
Ooh, I like that. I like this hyphenate here.
Aliza Kelly
Yes. And it's basically, I think I'm on a medication for.
Adam Pally
Doc, don't tell me. It's astrocyptography. That's what killed my father.
John Gabris
He was a Gemini.
Adam Pally
My dad was a Pisces.
John Gabris
Oh, wow. There you go. And don't.
Aliza Kelly
See, this is how the girlies talk. Just so you know. This is how we. Yeah, yeah. So now you're doing girl astrology.
John Gabris
My wife is not having these conversations on the phone with her girlfriend.
Adam Pally
I don't know. I don't mind.
John Gabris
I don't mind.
Adam Pally
So Pisces on hot. Pisces on Pisces Action.
Aliza Kelly
Yeah, I mean, that's very sensitive, right? There's a lot of mutual understanding, reading each other. Other's minds. Oh, yeah. Like picking. You know, Is it my feelings? Is it your feelings? It's a lot of.
John Gabris
That's where it gets messy.
Aliza Kelly
Yes. Yes.
John Gabris
Yeah.
Aliza Kelly
Yes.
John Gabris
Then my daughter is a Pisces.
Aliza Kelly
No. You're kidding.
John Gabris
Nope.
Aliza Kelly
Okay.
John Gabris
Yeah.
Aliza Kelly
You're really. You're piling it on.
John Gabris
It's quite a hassle.
Adam Pally
You got a school of fish over there?
Aliza Kelly
Yeah, it's a school of fish.
John Gabris
Yeah. It's really. It's a lot.
Adam Pally
Well, it's funny. Cause, like, when you were in your 20s, you followed fish around. Now fish follow you around.
John Gabris
That's true.
Aliza Kelly
Oh, wow.
John Gabris
What a sad statement.
Adam Pally
One was more fun and had more whippets.
John Gabris
I won't tell you which, actually, same amount of whippets. But that's wild. It's really. You know, again, like, anything that helps a person understand themselves better or, like, comes to grip, is worth a million bucks, you know? And, like, this is truly enlightening.
Adam Pally
And I'm So, what can we do with this information? Now that we have it. Is there. Is there anything that we can do? Aspirate aspirationally or goal?
John Gabris
Well, obviously, like, my chart says that I. Like, I have a six. Water.
Aliza Kelly
Yeah.
John Gabris
Does that mean I need to drink more water or I'm drinking more?
Aliza Kelly
I think you have enough water. Yeah, I think it's.
Adam Pally
That's. Cause Pisces is a water sign.
Aliza Kelly
Right. And this.
Adam Pally
I remember learning that Aquarius was not a water sign. That got to me.
Aliza Kelly
Yeah.
Adam Pally
Because I'm a water boy.
Aliza Kelly
I know. It's a big reveal when we find out Aquarius is the vase that holds the water, but not the water itself. Yes, honey, yes. Yes.
John Gabris
Because I'm the water. You're something that understands how to be in the water.
Aliza Kelly
Yes. Yeah.
John Gabris
Stop crying, dude. He was out late last night drinking. He's probably still a little drunk.
Adam Pally
I just might be.
John Gabris
Now, what are these other things down here? Like cardinal, fixed, mutable, strong.
Aliza Kelly
Yeah. So where you. So the zodiac is divided into. There's a few different divisions that we could do. One is elemental, so that's earth, fire, water, air. And then the other division is in. It's something called modality. So cardinal signs are those signs that occur at the beginning of seasons. So Aries is a cardinal sign. Cancer is a cardinal sign. Aries is the beginning of spring. Cancer is the beginning of summer. So cardinal energy is about initiation. It's about sort of like taking action, doing something fixed occurs in the middle of seasons. So the fixed signs are. Are Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius. These are the stabilizers. These are the ones who sort of like, keep the systems, keep the lights running. Right. And then the mutable signs are the ones that occur at the end of seasons that are sort of changing. And those are Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces. So those are those signs that are about sort of transmutation, you know, moving us. Like, stop copying me. Seeing a sign. Mine are all C.
Adam Pally
What you get from number four? I got strong fire air.
John Gabris
I just answered that for everything.
Aliza Kelly
So depending. So you can see sort of like what your chart tends towards. Right, Right. Are you someone who tends to be more of an initiator? Are you someone who stabilizes? Are you someone who, you know, likes to fuck it up and change it around?
John Gabris
Is that why I have an 8 on mutable?
Aliza Kelly
Yes. Yeah.
John Gabris
This thing is cutting to the core of me.
Adam Pally
I can't wait to forget everything you explained to me and still look at this thing later on and be like, right, yes. T squared of Venus.
Aliza Kelly
Well, you remember your big three, right?
Adam Pally
Yes, I'm going to remember it for now. Sag Rising, Aries Moon, Aquarius Sun.
John Gabris
Yeah, mine's pretty easy. Yeah.
Adam Pally
Pisces cap, no cap.
John Gabris
Pcp.
Aliza Kelly
No cap.
John Gabris
Does it. My dad once smoked PCP when he drove a cab and freaked out and lived in there for 24 hours. Do you think that has anything to do with this?
Aliza Kelly
What's his sign?
John Gabris
He's October 19th.
Aliza Kelly
Oh, so he's a Libra. Yeah, yeah. Nice neutral balancing energy.
Adam Pally
Yeah, he is Dr. Pali, former guest of the Pod. My mom is also Aquarius, which is weird.
Ad Read Voice
Whoa.
Adam Pally
She's fed too?
John Gabris
Yeah. What does that mean?
Aliza Kelly
How's do you find similarities?
Adam Pally
Yeah, we have a lot of similarities. We kind of have a similar social energy and a similar. I'm probably 1200 times more open minded than she is.
John Gabris
We're both life of the party.
Adam Pally
Yeah, but we're both like life of the party. Social animals, extroverts.
Aliza Kelly
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean you can, when you start putting in your family's info and you see those family patterns, it's really interesting.
John Gabris
Yeah, that's.
Aliza Kelly
I mean you have a whole school of fish, so that's fascinating, right?
John Gabris
Yeah, I have a whole school of fish, yes. But I don't think that doesn't seem to like it's. It's pretty much local, you know what I mean? Like it's not like around my family.
Adam Pally
Oh yeah, like the Pisces are in that. The call's coming from inside.
John Gabris
Yes, exactly.
Ad Read Voice
Yes.
John Gabris
Yeah, like I'm doing it. Whatever, whatever is happening.
Aliza Kelly
Right. And like you are gravitating towards fish. Always fish, the band fish, the people. Right. Like all fish.
John Gabris
Sushi every day.
Adam Pally
Yeah, he's a freak for sushi.
John Gabris
Yeah, No, I love fish. So what is this, this, this last section that looks like the periodic table.
Aliza Kelly
Yeah. So this section is a section, it's called an aspect table. And it's basically the relationship between all of the different planets. So every single planet is in relation to all of the other planets. So if you were doing like a deep dive of, you know, how does my moon work? Or like what is my love life mean? We could go through and be like, okay, Venus, the planet most associated with love. What is it doing relative to your moon? What is it doing relative to your Mercury, your planet of communication? What is it doing relative to Pluto, the planet of transformation? How you die and are reborn many times in this life. Right.
Adam Pally
Like Pluto famously transformed to not a planet, to a planet and back to not a planet.
Aliza Kelly
I know, but if you know Pluto lore, astrologically, it really checks out that Pluto would have this whole journey.
Adam Pally
Pluto's gonna.
Ad Read Voice
Pluto.
Aliza Kelly
Yeah, Pluto. Leave it to Pluto.
Adam Pally
That's so Pluto.
Aliza Kelly
So Pluto.
Adam Pally
So I'm gonna start saying to you, like, that's so Sag Rising. And try to get, like, be cool around women.
Aliza Kelly
Yeah.
Adam Pally
I think.
John Gabris
You don't gotta be nice about it.
Adam Pally
Yeah. Sir, you have to get out of the fitting room sagging. Anyone else?
Ad Read Voice
Sad driving.
John Gabris
So this chico's is about to close. Sorry to interrupt. What about death?
Aliza Kelly
Oh, what about it?
John Gabris
Do death dates mean anything?
Aliza Kelly
Sure.
John Gabris
Okay, so how does that.
Adam Pally
Cause you could, like, do a death chart.
John Gabris
Death chart.
Adam Pally
That's a good one.
Aliza Kelly
I'd love a death chart.
Ad Read Voice
Oh, yeah.
Whoa.
Aliza Kelly
Yeah. I mean, I love a death chart because it's just. It's a. You get a time, you know, like, you can. We can calculate it.
John Gabris
Time of death.
Aliza Kelly
But I don't calculate death in a chart. Like, that would be diabolical.
Adam Pally
Right. That's what this guy is going to look like.
John Gabris
When you got your mom's. How did you die? Yeah. Looking at your mom's chart, you got two weeks left.
Aliza Kelly
Yeah.
Adam Pally
I would go on that vacation with you.
John Gabris
Yeah.
Adam Pally
For sure.
John Gabris
But so, like, what is a death chart? Like, you look at. So, like, let's say, use my mother, for example, we look at, like, the. When she died.
Aliza Kelly
Yeah. I mean, it's interesting to look at a death chart with a birth chart. Right. And to see how overlay those.
John Gabris
The reason I asked was because my son, my first son was born, like, very close to when she died.
Aliza Kelly
Oh, wow.
John Gabris
And he's named after her.
Aliza Kelly
Yeah. So that his birth chart would be very similar to her death chart, which is. It's very beautiful.
John Gabris
Is it? Or is it, like, fucked him up before I even started?
Adam Pally
No, I think. I don't think you see a clearer version of the circle of life than something like that.
John Gabris
Right.
Adam Pally
Okay.
John Gabris
So it's a positive.
Adam Pally
The sky was okay.
John Gabris
Cause I'm feeling everything at once.
Adam Pally
Yeah, yeah, we know you're working well. Yeah.
Aliza Kelly
I mean, that's also. That's complicated emotionally to be losing your mom. And also your son is being born in tandem. So like those that duality. But Pisces is two fish swimming in opposite directions. So Gemini gets the reputation of being sort of the twins of duality. But Pisces is also very dualistic.
John Gabris
Yes.
Aliza Kelly
And having those multiple truths and contemplating them and considering them is like a part of the journey for you.
John Gabris
Okay.
Aliza Kelly
And understanding, like the tragedy and the mourning of losing someone that you love, your mother, and then also being a parent. Right. And, like, being on that journey as well and needing to show up for your family at the same time, like, two very conflicting life and death scenarios.
John Gabris
You go, gabris. No, but, like, how do you. How do you. So a death chart would be like. So you would look at a death chart in terms of, like, when someone was born. If there's, like, a significant person in someone's life, it's like, how did that death affect. Is that. Is that how you.
Aliza Kelly
Yeah. So you can overlay charts. You know, you can look at how two people's charts relate to each other. Where, you know, as we were talking about with, like, Scorpio activating this area of your chart. Different people light up your chart in different ways, too.
Adam Pally
So. So is my. My love of Scorpios, like, a thing that I'm gonna. Like, I'm now curious about this. If I'm, like, gonna accidentally seek out Scorpios for the rest of my life.
Aliza Kelly
You know, I would say that you're probably going to find your. Like, you're gonna. It's something to know about you. Right? There's something about a Scorpio that you are drawn to that there is.
John Gabris
You're gonna get off with a girl, and then you have to go, like, when were you born?
Adam Pally
I'm out.
John Gabris
I can't be like, hey, for your sake, I'm out.
Aliza Kelly
Well, that's why, babe.
Adam Pally
I'm sag rising.
John Gabris
Yeah. It ain't gonna work. It ain't gonna work.
Adam Pally
Barely rising.
Aliza Kelly
The boys say that that's what the girls do to them on dating. But when it comes to compatibility, I think of it as less of, like, are you compatible? And more of, how are you compatible? Yeah, like, what does it mean for you to be together?
John Gabris
Right.
Aliza Kelly
And how do you get along?
John Gabris
Right.
Aliza Kelly
Or not right. But it's not like you are or you aren't.
Adam Pally
Yeah. It's not like I can't date any Aries.
Aliza Kelly
Yes.
Adam Pally
But it is kind of like, well, for an Aquarius and an Aries to work together.
Aliza Kelly
Aries would be great for you.
John Gabris
That's gonna be tough. By the way, he just matched on Raya with Aries Spears.
Adam Pally
7%. The number keeps growing every time I hate a guy.
John Gabris
I can't believe it only went 1%.
Adam Pally
I don't think percentage is the way people measure their sexuality. It's fluid. I'm a numbers guy.
John Gabris
Percentage.
Adam Pally
What curiosity. What would make Aries good for Me? Because Aquarius and Aries pair well together.
Aliza Kelly
You have that Aries moon.
Adam Pally
Oh, yeah.
Aliza Kelly
And you also have a SAG rising, and that rising sign is a fire sign. So it's like, you want. It's important for you to be with someone who, like, can match your energy. Scorpio's not necessarily doing that.
Adam Pally
Oh, okay, right. Well, they have their. The Scorpios in my life have their energy.
Aliza Kelly
Yeah, but it's a different energy.
Adam Pally
Yeah, it's a different energy, but it's an appreciated energy.
Aliza Kelly
Yeah, yeah, but you appreciate it.
Adam Pally
Yeah, yeah, yeah. But it's not the same energy.
Aliza Kelly
Tea?
Ad Read Voice
Yeah.
Aliza Kelly
Interesting.
Adam Pally
Yeah.
Aliza Kelly
Yeah.
John Gabris
And I, like. I just want someone that's gonna go.
Aliza Kelly
With the flow, and you have your whole little pipe Pisces family, and then you have your one Capricorn who's like, you guys, we have to be there. Like, we're late.
John Gabris
That describes my family dynamics so well. It's wild. My son is up every day. He's like. He's a machine.
Aliza Kelly
Wow.
John Gabris
And the rest of us are just, like, bumping into the walls.
Adam Pally
It's kind of true.
John Gabris
Yeah. It's awesome. Well, thank you so much. Like, this is been emotional and mind blowing, and I love it. I love.
Adam Pally
I just. I mean, come on. We're fucking light narcissists. Can we talk about ourselves?
John Gabris
About anything that's gonna make sense of the way my life has turned out?
Adam Pally
Oh. I'm definitely gonna be thinking about my SAG Rising. SAG Rising a lot. Because of the whole, like, adventure thing. I'll be like, holy shit. This is so sag.
Aliza Kelly
It's your mission, you know, it really is. Your rising. So leaning into that and embracing it.
John Gabris
And all that, and I'm like Superman. I need my Fortress of Solitude. You do, because there's too many. Too many voices going on.
Aliza Kelly
Yeah. Too many feelings.
John Gabris
Yeah. Will that get. Would that be used okay. In court?
Aliza Kelly
It sounds like a solid argument. Yeah.
Adam Pally
Let me just show you exhibit A. Yeah. Exhibit A. My client's birth chart.
Aliza Kelly
Yeah. This sounds like very Salem. This is like, very Salem.
John Gabris
It all started on 73rd West 58th.
Adam Pally

Adam Pally
How you feeling, Ad?
John Gabris
You okay? Stay alive. Twice in one day. I got you twice in one app. No. I'm rocked to my core. I've totally opened up, which I guess is crazy.
Adam Pally
Which we learned. We learned this part of what Pisces do.
John Gabris
Super easy to do. Yeah.
Adam Pally
Fishy. Gonna fish.
John Gabris
Yeah. No, I mean, I think I. For better look, for better or worse, you are who you are. And I think that's one of the things that I'm starting to really like about this. I don't know if I'll dig in much more than this, but one of the things I like about this is.
Adam Pally
Pretty much the deepest I've dug in on myself.
John Gabris
Me too.
Adam Pally
Not like.
John Gabris
Not emotionally, but like astrology.
Adam Pally
Astrologically.
John Gabris
Astrologically based, but like, there is something nice about the fact of it. In a time where everything, like, you don't know what's true and what's not. It's like I was born at this time at this place, and that's what the sky looked like.
Adam Pally
Yeah.
John Gabris
It's like. That is fact.
Adam Pally
Right. And then from there is where we get off. Fact.
Ad Read Voice
Sure.
Adam Pally
Yeah.
John Gabris
But at least I have that.
Ad Read Voice
Yeah.
John Gabris
And I know this information is just cool to have. Yeah.
Adam Pally
Whether you believe in horoscopes or not knowing where the moon and sun and everything was when you were born is very interesting.
John Gabris
It's awesome. Yeah. I didn't get to tell her there was a story that my brother mother held me in because she didn't want me to be born on St. Patrick's Day.
Adam Pally
Oh, that's awesome.
John Gabris
The old legs crossed, which I can't believe is true. But, like, I wonder if that would have affected it. I wonder if I would have been quite as chill.
Adam Pally
I wish I was. No. Cause you probably. You would have still been a Pisces.
Ad Read Voice
Yeah.
John Gabris
But I would have been a green pint rising.
Aliza Kelly
Yeah.
Adam Pally
Leprechaun rising. Stay alive.
John Gabris
I think I hit his arm.

Episode: That’s So Pluto (w/ Aliza Kelly)
Air Date: January 22, 2026
Podcast Network: SmartLess Media
Guest: Aliza Kelly, astrologer, author, and host
In this episode, comedians and best friends Jon Gabrus and Adam Pally sit down with renowned astrologer Aliza Kelly to dive deep into their personal birth charts and explore the meaning and relevance of astrology—especially for two self-declared “straight dudes” who don’t fit astrology’s stereotypical demographic. The discussion weaves together curiosity, skepticism, and raw honesty about how astrology can intersect with wellness, mental health, identity, and relationships. Aliza walks the hosts through the basics of astrology, breaks down their “big three” (Sun, Moon, Rising signs), and highlights how the personal and the cosmic interact.
“For better or worse, you are who you are. And I think that's one of the things that I'm starting to really like about this.”
