“Welcome to the cult,” he said to the assembly of 3,000. And with that Dato’ Joey Yap set the room at ease in typical good humour. And THRIVE 2026 burst from the starting blocks just this morning.

First, there was a quick explanation on why astrologers do not actually make predictions (they observe patterns), followed by a segue into social media chatter about ‘solar time’ (it’s not in the classical texts, so we don’t use it).
