aphroism; noun - a pithy observation which contains a general truth...by me. And also my friend Madi. Aphroisms will be a weekly update from two astrology hacks and pop culture connoisseurs, heavy with witchy themes and reality TV fandom. If Bravo is your realm, and you charge your crystals in the full moon, this is the podcast for you.

YOU GUYS, MEET KARINA. Life has been kicking our asses, but this week I had the absolute pleasure of chatting with Madi's renowned BFF, Karina. Like, THEE Karina. While she's not fully across Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and Potomac, that doesn't stop us from dissecting the latest seasons. Plus, we've both just finished This Way Up so we're very excited about that. Most importantly though, I do Karina's birth chart and get to know her a little bit better. Also: general lamenting of house prices and the too-distant dream of property ownership.
