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.Timestamps: 0:00 Teaser: Dancing like Britney & meeting at Pilates1:06 Intro: Layton Williams’ Very First Chart Reading3:24 The Pilates Benchmark: Meeting in the Back Row & Titanique6:17 The Moment Point: Reading a Birth Chart9:40 Sagittarius Rising: Why the Rising Sign is the Energy You Perform With12:20 The 11-Year-Old West End Debut: Bypassing the Rules Early14:10 The Off-Button: Virgo Restraint vs. Sagittarian Fire17:15 “I Live Like There’s Constantly a Camera Around”: Natural Star Quality18:50 ADHD Diagnosis, British Hustle & The Shock of New York Work Ethic21:40 Preparing at 80%: Why Over-Preparation Kills the Thrill of the Edge25:30 Spontaneity Over Structure: The Power of Mutable Signs28:36 Sagittarius as Freedom: Relationships, Space & Solo Independence32:06 Divine Timing on Broadway: Refusing to Chase the Visa32:51 The Tina Turner Iceberg: Camp, Joy & Winning the Olivier Award38:50 Delusion with Purpose: Cultivating Confidence vs. Cockiness41:20 Queerness, Black British Identity & Reclaiming the Stage42:54 Mars in Cancer: Ancestral Roots, Lineage & Who Do You Think You Are?47:33 Astrological Timing & Travel Windows49:00 Capricorn Moon as Iceberg: Tina Turner Drag, Splitting & Standing Ovations52:04 Star Quality, Faith & The Spiritual Impact of Theater53:40 Why the Moon Sign Stays Private & Final Chart TakeawaysLayton Williams is a Virgo Sun who commands the stage with the explosive, radiant fire of a Sagittarius Rising. 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.Follow along on Patreon and YouTube so you don't miss what's next.This is What Time Were You Born?.

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 Teaser0:55 Intro: Bowen Yang's Scorpio Stellium & Celestial Glam2:36 Growing Up with the Chinese Zodiac & Shifting Perspectives on Astrology7:13 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 Perception12:36 Mystery as a Bridge & Balancing Dialectics (Britney Spears & Long Island Smarts)14:46 Libra Rising, 9th House Gemini Moon & Multinational Roots18:01 Air Signs, Levity & The Iconic QVC Blooper22:42 What Makes a "Third Space" (and Why Democracy Needs Them)25:08 Unpacking the Gemini Moon: Interpersonal Awareness & Verbal Safety29:15 Final Fantasy XIV, Active Nihilism & Creating Meaning Through Connection34:04 Why Critics Hate Astrology (Misogyny, Myth & Joseph Campbell)37:28 Resetting After SNL: Permission Structures & Industry Gatekeepers41:57 Filtering Criticism: Satoshi Kon's Perfect Blue & Staying Real49:04 Monoculture Today: Titanic, the Iceberg Sketch & Oh, Mary!51:11 Bowen's Chart Deep Dive: Venus Cazimi in Scorpio & Jupiter Square1:00:23 Venus Conjunct Pluto & The True Definition of Trust1:03:50 How to Trust the Unknown: Rachel Botsman & Charles Feltman's Frameworks1:08:51 Creative Self-Trust, Internet Noise & Overcoming Competence Anxiety1:12:08 The Mystery of Beyoncé's Uncle Johnny & Capricorn Nieces1:17:26 Embracing Discomfort & Unlearning the SNL Sprint for Broadway1:20:17 "Have Fun, Don't Rush": Oh, Mary! on Broadway & OutroBowen 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.Follow along on ⁠Patreon⁠ and ⁠YouTube⁠ so you don't miss what's next.This is What Time Were You Born?.

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.Get episodes early, ad-free and uncensored on Patreon: patreon.com/colinbedellFor video episodes, including chart visuals, find me on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/@colin.bedellThis is What Time Were You Born?
