So the main element though, the main complaint we get --

ืื– ื”ื ื•ืฉื ื”ืขื™ืงืจื™, ื”ืชืœื•ื ื” ื”ืขื™ืงืจื™ืช ืฉืื ื—ื ื• ืžืงื‘ืœื™ื --

2000
ืื—ืช ืฉืื ื™ ืžื•ืฆื ื›ืžื“ืื™ื’ื” ื‘ื™ื•ืชืจ --
01:25
is that people say, "Oh, why do you insist

ื”ื™ื ื›ืืฉืจ ืื ืฉื™ื ืื•ืžืจื™ื, "ืœืžื” ืืชื ืžืชืขืงืฉื™ื

You bring in science, and it ruins the magic."

ืื ื™ ืื•ื”ื‘ ืžื™ืชื•ืกื™ื ื•ืงืกืžื™ื

ืื‘ืœ ืื ื™ ืœื ืžื‘ื™ืŸ

how it does ruin the magic.

All of the magic, I think,

ื›ืœ ื”ืงืกื, ืื ื™ ื—ื•ืฉื‘,

ืฉืื•ืœื™ ื™ืชืคื•ื’ื’ ื‘ื’ืœืœ ื”ืžื“ืข

Now astrology --

118260
2000
ืขื›ืฉื™ื• ืืกื˜ืจื•ืœื•ื’ื™ื” --
02:00

That is gone.
48
128260
2000
ืขื ื–ื” ื’ืžืจื ื•.

But if we want to look at the sky and see predictions, we still can.
