Following a personal search for meaning through astrology, filmmaker Hayley Garrigus discovers an unexpected intersection between astrology and financial markets. As she explores this world of financial astrology, where traders use planetary movements to predict market trends, a deeper truth emerges. Through interviews with astrologers, financial analysts, and those bridging both worlds, the film reveals how our obsession with controlling the future disconnects us from ancient wisdom about cycles and our place in the cosmos. In seeking certainty, have we lost something more profound about what it means to be part of the universe?
