For MGK’s turn, he also led with the tattoo question, which Fox was unable to answer. “It’s literally impossible to calculate because you tattooed on top of your tattoos, so I couldn’t say,” she responded.

You have a stellium of planets in Pisces. You’re sun is in the 12th house, which is the house that’s ruled by Neptune, which is the ruler of Pisces.

The E-Street Band man’s cannabis isn’t the stuff to get you wasted, but it’ll “provide a powerful feeling of well-being and enriching your endocannabinoid system with high-CBD and low-THC flower,” reads a statement. Take a drag, we’re told, and it “less of a stoned-high and more a full body balancing effect with uplifting pep.” The pandemic gave the guitar hero and so many oth...
