Vish Chatterji is an astrologer, yogi, and business coach, who makes the ancient wisdom of the Ayurvedic system of India accessible and actionable for modern seekers. In the first half, he delved into Vedic astrology and his coaching practice, which incorporates Ayurvedic principles, categorizing people into three archetypes-- Vata (airy creative type), Pitta (fiery type), and Kapha (earthy type). Chatterji suggested that the Vedic astrology system aligns with what you actually see in the sky and thus can be more accurate than Western astrology. He also touched on the mythological significance of Rahu and Ketu, the lunar nodes in Vedic astrology. They're not planets but points where solar or lunar eclipses occur, representing shadows in space, he detailed, linking their symbolism to the human experience of temptation and enlightenment through a captivating ancient mythology about gods and demons.

Highlighting how astrology serves as a tool for self-discovery, he stated, "The more misaligned we are to our divine plan... the more we have unhappiness." He stressed the importance of understanding one's soul's purpose to regain balance, noting that with Vedic astrology, "There's always a remedy... there's always hope." His new book, "Astrology Decoded," aims to simplify Vedic astrology for everyday readers, offering insights into planetary personalities and practical remedies. Astrology, he added, "is beyond religion" and connects us to a universal consciousness. During the second hour, he gave readings for callers, and emphasized the importance of having the exact birth time for accurate astrological readings, as even a few minutes can account for significant differences.

In the latter half, paranormal researcher and author Gare Allen discussed hauntings and ghosts, as well as the experiences of first responders encountering the supernatural. He recounted numerous chilling tales, including one where responders arrived at a home where "a woman in a yellow robe with short brown hair answers the door. She points to the stairs. They rush upstairs, and then they find a deceased woman in a yellow robe with short brown hair." Sometimes there's an overall theme, in which the person who brings them to an accident scene or meets them there turns out to be the one who is deceased, he noted. Allen described his own journey into the paranormal, recalling how it opened his eyes to a deeper, larger reality. On the topic of channeling, he described a transformative session where a woman's voice spoke through a man, revealing intimate details about his subconscious. "It was jarring, but it was peaceful," he reflected.

Allen spoke about his methods for removing negative energies from a home, including rituals like placing lemons in the four corners of a room, and the use of holy water and sea salt. He also shared intriguing insights about reincarnation and connections to past lives. "I think it's probably...in the thousands," he stated regarding the number of reincarnations one might experience, emphasizing that these past lives may influence our current behaviors and fears. The discussion turned to the Ouija board, which Allen expressed strong reservations about. "I think it's very much a portal to allowing something through into your home," he cautioned, "and to me, it's akin to leaving your front door open at night, and that's terrifying."
