When Mangesh Hattikudur set out to create a sweeping show about astrology, he didn’t realize the first interview would change the course of his life. As he tries to put his world back together, he explores the surprising ways astrology shows up in modern society: from NASA employees who secretly believe in it, to world leaders who consult astrologers for foreign policy, to statisticians who use astrology to build baseball teams.

Across eight episodes, Mangesh tries to understand why we keep looking to the stars for answers—and what happens when you don’t believe in astrology, but astrology keeps happening to you.
