## Resource

Paul had never looked into Walter Mercado until the Netflix documentary dropped. So he did what any Hellenistic astrologer would do — pulled up the chart before pressing play. But right away something was off. The documentary says 1932. Astro.com says 1931. Wikipedia says 1932. And somebody made a documentary about an astrologer who built his entire career around birthdays without getting the birthday right. That's where this conversation begins. Takeaways: Always verify a birth date before reading a chart — even trusted sources can conflict AA rated charts on Astro.com are considered reliable but not infallible The birth year of a chart changes everything — placements shift and the whole reading changes When a documentary about an astrologer can't confirm the birth year that tells you something The mystery of Walter Mercado's real birthday was something he guarded closely his entire life Links referenced in this episode: iamastrologyreadings.com Companies mentioned in this episode: Iamastrologyreadings PayPal Venmo Cash App Support the mythic classroom: https://i-am-astrology-readings.captivate.fm/support Book a Reading: https://i-am-astrology-readings.captivate.fm/book-reading #astrologyrideoftheday
