So you told us that we weren't, we shouldn't stop scrolling when they say the scary thing. I'm not, there's nothing to be afraid of. This is Financial Tea. Welcome back to Financial Tea. My sippers, this is the podcast where I teach you how to build wealth with a side of market drama, money scandals, and of course, financial pop culture. And today we are adding into the mix astrology to that list because we have Rachel laying on the show today. She is a financial astrologer. I've been following her work. It's so crazy. And of course, an author. So Rachel, thank you so much for being on the financial team. Thank you so much for having me on the show. But first, let's get into the MDJ market report. Okay, sippers, welcome back to the MDJ market report where I tell you the three stories you need to know to see where the money is moving this week. I do have to warn you that two of these are about sports, which is sort of out of pocket for me. You know more of pop culture now, but like, you're going to love these stories when you hear them. Okay, but let's start first with inflation because shocker. Yeah, it's not looking good, guys, the new report came out. If you think everything is getting more expensive, well, guess what, you're right. And the craziest thing about this, I mean, there's a few things that's crazy. But like, number one is just that when prices go up, I just feel like companies never freaking bring them down. Like it is so annoying. With the straight of four moves bullshit, I'm like, yeah, the airfare prices are just going to stay raised. Like, when does inflation come down? That's when I want to know. So anyways, here are the facts. Consumer prices have risen 4.2% over the past year, which is the highest inflation reading we've seen in about three years. And then on the other side of that, hourly wages were down 0.7% from a year ago, which is the biggest decline in more than three years. So basically what that means is that even if you're making the same amount of money, you're going to be able to buy less. And by the way, this is why I talk so much about investing because a lot of people keep whatever, you know, extra quote unquote money that they have just sitting in a checking account or savings account, basically earning nothing and they're losing purchasing power every single year. But they have this idea that like if their money just stays in cash, it's like safer and more responsible. But what I want you to realize is that it's actually not safe because your money is not growing faster than prices do. And that is how you stay rich. So instead of viewing hoarding your cash as being safe, you need to view investing as being safe because that's how you're going to be the inflation. Our next two stories are about sports. Don't turn this off though. I promise you're going to be obsessed. And it's a lot of good news, you know what I mean? Like this is honestly a positive podcast, give me a review. Okay. So first up, let's talk about the World Cup because yeah, you guys, you're going to be able to go. There is a big chance that a ticket today is cheaper than it was a few months ago. And this is because FIFA sort of fucked themselves. They used dynamic pricing, which meant that the ticket prices aren't fixed. And instead they have like an AI algorithm that adjusted prices in real time based on demand. So like think about it like over surge pricing, how they just absolutely screw you when it's raining and make things more expensive because everyone's to take an uber. So there's a lot of demand. Well, with FIFA, the more demand that their algorithm software, World Cup tickets, the higher the prices went and honestly, damn did they go up because the average ticket prices rose about 35% after sales opened. And some premium tickets for the final reportedly climbed to around $33,000, which is only okay if you're seeing tailors left to the Aristotle, like for soccer, come on. Sorry for football. And this is so much more expensive than the last World Cup. Like even some of the cheapest seats cost multiples of what fans paid before. And I get it from FIFA's perspective, like the idea was simple from a business mind, like if fans are willing to pay more, why let scalpers make the money when FIFA can make it themselves. But I just feel like they'd gotten a little bit too confident because you guys, it is currently as I record this a few days before kickoff. And there are nearly 180,000 tickets still sitting on FIFA's official resale platform. So like resale prices have been falling, brokers are getting squeezed. And what makes it worse is that regulators in multiple states are now investigating FIFA's ticketing practices. And I just want to talk about this in like a broader way too, because this whole trend that FIFA isn't just selling the tickets, they're involved in the resale market is I think what makes this story also really interesting because like even though tickets are unsolved and fans are furious about prices, because FIFA made this switch. They are expected to generate roughly $3 billion from ticket sales this tournament compared to about $930 million at the last World Cup. So they are winning despite the fact that there's going to be so many empty seats. But I also think that you can be winning too, because you can definitely get tickets last minute for really cheap, which would honestly be like really fun in the summer to go. Although it does sound like overwhelmingly crowded. I don't know if I have it in me, but like if you do, I celebrate that and respect you. And I'd love to watch your Instagram stories from a place that's like a bit more private. Okay, our final story is obviously about the New York Knicks. No, this is not about like how much the seats are a court side or whatever. It's really about a secret that I found out about the Knicks and I feel like no one is talking about. And so we are going to talk about it in the market report because it's so crazy. And that is that you can effectively buy the New York Knicks, you guys. Like yes, the Knicks are one of the few sport franchises in America that regular investors like me and you can effectively buy not directly. You cannot like buy court side seats or like a piece of Jalen Brunson's jump shot, although I would, but you can actually buy shares of Madison Square Garden Sports, which is the publicly traded company that owns the Knicks and Rangers. And what's crazy about Madison Square Garden Sports is that they're considered like pretty undervalued like their stock has more than doubled over the last year and has recently reached a market value of roughly nine billion dollars. I feel like it's only going up like this playoffs run is so crazy each night at the garden. They're generating tens of million dollars in revenue, so much in brand equity for the Knicks. And that's what I'm saying that like investors actually still think the stock is worth more even though it nearly doubled. And this isn't even because they expect the Knicks to win every championship forever. Like they don't even need to do that for this to be a good investment, but it's just because sports franchises are really one of the most valuable assets on earth. And I've been thinking about them a lot in the age of AI too, where it's like live sporting events are so AI proof. And so I feel like it is just like this really golden asset. And it's like you can build another luxury condo, you can launch another software company, but like you can never create another New York Knicks. And that scarcity makes assets so valuable. In fact, on Wall Street, there's something called the Dolan Discount, which is this idea that Madison Square Garden Sports trades for less than what the Knicks and Rangers would probably fetch if they were on the market. If they sold the Knicks and they sold the Rangers, that would definitely be more than $9 billion like the combined estimate of the teams would be worth billions more than that. And this just brings me to like a bigger story because I feel like for so long being a sports fan meant spending money, like you're buying the tickets, you're buying the Jersey. You bought the overpriced beer, but now Wall Street is finding ways to actually turn this fandom into an investment, and I'm putting investment in quotes because I'm about to talk about sports gambling and you know, I don't think that's an investment, but like, yes, sports betting turns these games into majors, prediction markets, turn events into trades, and now publicly traded sports teams turn fans into shareholders. So I just feel like the line between entertainment and investing is just getting a little blurrier every year. So yes, this is a story about basketball, but you know, it's also a story about how modern markets just keep finding new things to financialize and isn't that cool. Okay. Well, love you guys. Go New York, go New York, go enjoy the rest of the episode, and stay rich. Okay. So we always start with three questions for our guests. - Okay. - So the first one is "Drummel Please, what gives you the financial echo?" - Oh, well, first of all, anything that's taking advantage of people. - Yes. - Oh, like the, or anything that's inauthentic, you know, big launches that just feel (mumbles) - Yeah. - So that's what it is. Inauthenticity, lack of ethics, those are the things that give me the echo. - Because you have like a marketing background, so you're saying when you see people just marketing to further own sake versus doing, 'cause it's like something they believe in. - Absolutely. - Absolutely. - Yeah, I totally get that. There's so many people like that. - There are. And I think in the astrology field, one of the things that I've seen happen more recently is people doing these doomsday predictions. - Oh, yeah, that's my whole TikTok feed. - It is. - It stops scrolling. - Yes, I know. And then it paints astrology in this, in kind of a bad light. And I think that it misses the point. And a lot of times it is just clickbait. And so that gives me the ache too. - That's such a good point. Yeah, and it's like they say never let fear be your financial advisor. - Love that. - And so it's sort of the same thing. Do you feel rich today? - I feel so rich. - I love that. - I do, and I make it a point to wake up every day. And I have a whole intention setting and I have mindset, a lot of mindset work that I do. Because I think you can't be rich until you feel rich. And so there's a real mindset correlation. So I wake up every day and I have a gratitude practice. And I embody the person that I want to be, that I want to show up as. So yeah, I feel very rich today. And I feel really grateful to be here. - We're so grateful to have you. - Yeah, thank you so much. - I already feel so connected to you. And I love what you just said because that sort of is the ethos of future rich person too, where it's like, you know, your money mindset is set by the time that you're seven years old. And so so many people are thinking about themselves financially in this pathway that just is like behavior that they picked up or been conditioned by versus actually living in a way that's like intentional, that will get them to where they want to go. And so you're so right that every day if you wake up and you try and like choose the thoughts that are who you want to become and try to act like that person, you're gonna get there so much faster. - Absolutely. And there's an astrology to that too. So there are Saturn cycles. There are planetary cycles that we have throughout our lives and they work like clockwork. And one of the big ones that we have at seven and a half years old is a Saturn transit. And Saturn represents our limiting beliefs are-- - Because at seven years old. - At seven and a half years. - That's so great. - Yes, so continue, sorry. - And we have another Saturn cycle at 14 and a half, 15. So every seven years, roughly seven and a half years, Saturn is going to have a presence in our lives and in our charts. And Saturn is the planet that relates to what's crystallized, those concrete ideas of who we are, what we're good at, what we're bad at. And a lot of our ego structures, meaning the beliefs that our mom told us about our parents told us about the things that we learn in school, the rules that we learn to follow and the expectations that we have for our lives relate to Saturn. Saturn also represents what we move through and heal and learn to master over the course of our lives. And so pivotal Saturn transits like the Saturn return right before your 30th birthday. The Saturn opposition right at around 45 years old. Those are times when we review those rules and those expectations and say, do I like this? Do I believe in this? - There's so much to talk about here, but I would love, and we sort of jumped into a lot. And I'm sure if you guys are listening, you can hear already, Rachel is like incredible astrologist, but I want you to first just introduce yourself and sort of give us a taste of what it is you actually do because the idea of financial astrologist is sort of crazy, you know, in a cool way. - Yes, thank you, yeah. So I work with businesses, I work with individuals in a consulting fashion. And so what we're doing is we're looking at ways to optimize timing because astrology, like I said, these planetary cycles happen like clockwork. And if you can catch a wave of opportunity, abundance, prosperity, then you can really maximize that for the outcomes that you want, whether they're personal outcomes, like you want to fall in love, or whether they're professional outcomes or financial outcomes. So like riding the waves, do you have like a little push behind you? - Exactly, 'cause life's already so hard. - Absolutely, but we can also see the challenges. We can see the challenges in your natal chart where you might have financial fears, where there are certain sectors in the economy that you just don't have a strong relationship to. And others where you might have more success in investing or in working, we can see a lot of career pathways and opportunities. So if you're going through a job transition, that's, we can use astrology to determine what you can do moving forward that's gonna feel the most rewarding. So lots of applications for astrology. And I'm also very psychic and intuitive and so while astrology is very much mathematical, there are specific cycles and we have data points for these cycles. I also include some of my own business experience, my own marketing experience and also awareness of larger planetary cycles that relate to market trends, even the colors that are going to be in style during crash and we can see. And so I can help my clients to navigate their own personal decisions based on where they are and also keeping into consideration the larger economic cycles that we're in. What are some ways that you've used astrology to help people be successful in business and money? The first thing, if someone is starting a business, there are, you can choose a birth date for the business, every business has a birth date and it sets up the major themes that you're going to go through, opportunities, challenges and when we select a birth date, I'm very obsessive about this. We pick a day that is going to bring out the very best potential of what the company is trying to accomplish. - So interesting 'cause I think about the, I love Sarah Blakely who started Spanx and she talks about when she started her company that she was meeting all of, she met all these like businessmen and they were like, oh, you're starting a business? Well, just so you know, businesses wore and she's very intuitive and feminine and like connected to her intuition and she was like, I don't want business to be wore and then sort of built Spanx and has built all of her businesses on this idea of like intuition and doing things that are, you know, based on signs and whatever. And but it's interesting because it's like money and business feel like a very practical to me and almost masculine and something that you have to almost will into existence. Whereas astrology is so, and all this spirituality stuff feels so much softer and almost like in opposition to that. And so I'm just wondering like how those worlds connect for you because, you know, I always think about it as like, okay, yeah, hard work is going to get me where I'm going to go, but it feels like talking to you, I'm missing something. Like, okay, wait, maybe it's hard work, but I also have to figure out like, you know, what the stars say. - Yeah, I think you're bringing up a point that is something that a lot of us are talking about right now, which is that we are in a paradigm shift. The old way, that masculine way that you're talking about, it's not working anymore. And we're seeing that because we have a lot more female founders, we have a lot more gender, fluid, non-binary. We have a lot more people coming into leadership who are changing the culture of business. And so we need to change, things need to evolve because the way things are working, have, the way things have been working and the way that we have been in this very aggressive, war-like paradigm has left a lot of people out. Totally, yeah. - When you put your body in the hands of a surgeon, you assume your doctor will do you no harm. - I'm looking at the surgery board for tomorrow. These people are ****. Cricket doctors have launched their most ambitious fraud yet, worth over $1 billion. - One doctor says my kickback was $25,000 and the other doctors go and why only got $12,000. - From Sony Music Entertainment and Western Sound, this is Dr. Billions. - Coming October 1st to the binge, listen wherever you get your podcasts. - Some evil thing happened here. - Three people die in a quiet suburb in Mississauga, Canada. - It's not a coincidence. - One after the other in the same house. A long simmering what took you so fucking long to get here. Subscribers to the binge can listen to all episodes, all at once, add free. But you know, I'm a financial expert. I teach people how to invest in a very level-headed way. Like we're not, you know, picking individual stocks, we're really just being consistent. And so, you know, it's funny sitting with you because I trust you. And I understand what you do, but I also wanted to talk about like the ethical line between guidance and financial advice, because like I'm not someone who ever would tell like, you know, people who follow me to day trade or to like take tips and things like that. So how do you sort of navigate that? Yeah, I am not a financial analyst or planner or trader or anything. So I am not licensed to give any of that kind of advice. But what I do like to do is look at someone's chart and say, here are the sectors that you have an intuitive awareness of. And talk to your financial planner and see how you can work with your chart and these particular sectors and and and and make trades based on on your own unique blueprint. Like you were saying that you, you're one of your sectors that doesn't work as food. And so when you, so tell us about when you invested in Beyond Meat. Okay, well, I really was interested in I invested with my heart. I'm a big fan of Beyond Meat and I've, you know, been a mostly a plant-based eater for most of my life. And so I did. I got in, you know, when they had their IPO and I did lose quite a bit of money on that one. And after that point, and then I invested in Oatley too. And so it was, you know, very soon I realized food is not my sector. No, but my, so there are specific money points in your chart. The second house and the eighth house both determine what your where money it, where you can find money. So the second house is like your cash flow. It is the money that you spend, it's what you like to spend on. If you're looking at revising your budget, the second house is your is your go to. And the second house also shows where we could have success in business. For example, can I talk about your second house? Of course. So your second house is governed by Sagittarius. And which is fantastic because Sagittarius is a, is a sign that relates to publishing, teaching. It also relates to imports, exports, let's see what kind of higher education, but publishing. So anything you do in publishing, podcasting, in any kind of education that you're doing, or, you know, you are a teacher in many ways. Those are all going to be places where you can find success relatively easy. You don't have to work too hard to attract money or to attract wealth in those sectors. You know what's interesting Rachel is like, I feel like I have a really good relationship with money. Like where it's like, I feel like it flows very easily to me. Absolutely. And it's, yeah, like I wonder, like, but if you're not someone who feels like that, how can you work through that to, you know, bring that in? Because of course, it's like hard work. You've got to negotiate. You have to increase your human capital so that you can be in a position to make more money. You need to like make sure that you're not overspending and, you know, avoid the traps of consumerism that fall, you know, get all of us. But beyond that, are there ways to be in relationship with money that maybe make us feel like we're, you know, attracting it more? The second house is the key to doing that. So yes, I think absolutely, it's a combination of things. One, knowing yourself, knowing where those money beliefs are rooted, because we all have them. Yeah. And I know for me, growing up when I did, that a lot of the messages I received about money were you got to marry someone rich. Oh, say. And, and, or like a man's going to take care of it. I'm going to take care of you. I got that one. Or, uh, you're an artist, you better have a fall back. You're never going to make money. So those messages defined a lot of my life. And things really shifted for me. One, when I started to realize that there, that there were keys in my astrology chart that could help me overcome that. That by leaning on certain talents that I had and certain skills, taking the creativity and the artistry that I was born with, that I could create wealth for myself. Yeah. And then I could help my clients. And so for me, it was a real mission to, to unlock those beliefs and to free up my own financial potential. And once I did that, then I got really excited about specifically helping women, because so many women like you, you share just now, so many of us received those kinds of messages. But those kinds of messages kept a lot of us from experiencing the fullness of our power and the fullness of our rich potential. Oh, never said. It's like so patriarchal. Yeah. Yeah. Where it's like it keeps you stuck. Absolutely. But so in many ways it's like, yes, you're an astrologist, but you're really a coach too. Like you're just like someone to believe in your client and like tell them that they can do it. Absolutely. Which I think is so powerful. Like I believe so much in having people in your corner to sort of help you feel brave because it can be really scary to take, you know, control of your finances and do this work. Absolutely. So whatever works. Okay. So Rachel, you have like a crazy client. How less obviously we can't name names because you would get docs. Like it is basically Heidi Fice's back book, but it's not of like mad and we're looking for prostitutes. It's like, you know, just see. I'm looking for some financial advice, but I, you know, talk to us about these people. They're running companies or with the most powerful people in the world. They're giving them astrological advice to help them make decisions. Like are these world leaders more spiritual than the, than like we realize? Yes. So there's a quote by JP Morgan. He said, he's quoted as saying that millionaires don't use astrology. Billionaires do. Whoa. Yes. And I found that to be true. I mean, I think I work with some millionaires too. But a lot of the people I only do the bees. Exactly. No, I'll take anybody. But a lot of people who are thought leaders, creators, entrepreneurs, founders, a lot of people who are in leadership positions are open minded and they are interested in using every tool at their disposal to achieve the goals that they have. And so I've worked with founders taking their company from a seedling idea to an IPO. That's crazy. It's so exciting. And nothing makes me more. I tell you, I'm like, oh, you should launch on this day and like, here's what we should do. That's so crazy. Right. Wow. And I've also helped directors, producers with showcasting, looking at the charts of different actors that they want to have, how does their chemistry work, how do they work together. I've worked with musicians, planning music tours, leaders, and you can use astrology for pretty much any major decision that you have in your business or in your life. And astrology is not predictive. It's not fortune-telling. And I think it gets a bad rap. I think a lot of people think about astrology in that context. But really what astrology is is its pattern recognition. So we have these cycles, planetary cycles that are like clockwork, they repeat themselves over and over again. By the way, same with the stock market. Yes. It is a cycle as well. Like people get so freaked out when it's like going down, but it's like it always comes back. Absolutely. And there's a correlation between those stock market cycles and astrological cycles. For example, there are these peaks in these valleys, these peaks in the highs and lows. And we contract that with the north node, where the north node is. And the north node, when it's in certain signs between, usually between Aquarius and Capricorn, we've seen a lot of major recessions during that time. Wow. And then 19 years later, we have that same cycle repeating. So different astrological cycles will show us when we are, when we could expect major economic upheaval. And we're going into, I'm not going to be a doomsday astrologer. But we're going into one of those next year. Rachel, you told us that we were, that we shouldn't stop scrolling when they say that's scary. I'm not going to, I'm not going to, don't be, there's nothing to be afraid of. Yes. It always comes back. Yes. And if you have cash or if you have any kind of money to put into the market, if you're buying on sale, maybe. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah. Absolutely. For doubling down. Yes. Or you could also be prepared. You can look at, well, maybe if you're starting a business, do you want to be starting this particular business in a slower economy? Yeah. If you're selling a house. Do you want a house? want to be selling your house in that particular economy. So we work with those kinds of decisions, is expansion of a company, optimal, when we're going into one of those dips. So these are the kinds of things that astrology can show, as it can show us those larger market trends. So economists use these data points, these historic reference points. Astrologers use them too. We use one, those economic data points, because any financial astrologer or most astrologers who are working with businesses are very practical. A lot of us were trained in business. We were trained. You look like this whole marketing background. Absolutely. Yeah. And so we're not, I think a lot of people think that astrology is just this woo-woo field. And maybe there are some astrologers who practice that way. But many of us who are working with businesses, we have a business background. We are looking at those same indicators that an economist is looking at. Only we're also looking at how those indicators relate to the stars, the planets. So interesting. That makes so much sense. So is there, so you're recently saying there is like this whole astrological philosophy around like timing launches and investments and career moves and mercury retrograde. But what I also think it's interesting about your work is that you look at companies as like you will read their signs. Like you read the sign of this podcast and you're like, oh, it's a Capricorn. So I wanted to know about the SpaceX IPO. Like what do we think about that astrologically? Well, so it's, I think it's going to be a trillion. Yeah. Like should we do it? It was a crazy find. I know. I know. Well, now we'll save. Just my caveat. Of course not. But we need to know the tea and my wife's in the journey. So she told me, don't talk about specific companies. Although we can always be cave audience. Yes. So everything that you hear you can use at your own discretion. Absolutely. The SpaceX IPO is really interesting because we are now in a new era in terms of investments and in terms of the economy called the air economy and air, the air, the element of air relates to anything space oriented, anything media oriented that's transferring over the air waves, transportation, communications, SpaceX is launching at a time when Uranus has just entered into the sign of Gemini and SpaceX, it's launching in June 12th. Is that correct? That's the day. Yes. So that's the suns in Gemini. So SpaceX, what it's going to do, this IPO, and there are others that are happening right around them, is it's going to propel that whole sector that is already getting so much attention with these outer planets. So it's going to be, it's going to like push them all into the spotlight. But whether I do think that it's going to be the one though, like, well, here's the thing about the planet Uranus, which is the planet that relates to where we're seeing the biggest technological innovation. Uranus can bring ups and downs. It can bring highs and lows. So I think it's going to totally disrupt that whole industry space and communications, but also defense and the SpaceX, any space or aviation stocks are going to be bleeding into the defense sector as well. So I think the SpaceX is going to, I think SpaceX has the potential to really go big. But I think we want to be careful because anywhere that Uranus is, we can see a lot of ups and downs, highs and lows. And I think we'll see other stocks in that sector rising up because of all the attention on that sector right now. Looking at the stock for, you know, June, June 12th, looking at those dates, there's a lot that's happening in June, gearing up for the Mercury retrograde that happens at the end of June. Jupiter's at the end of its cancerian cycle. So there's a lot of changes, planetary cycles changing, starting ending in June anyway. And so I would, I would, if we were working together and you were asking me that specific question, I would talk about the potential, the potential challenges with it. And I would also talk about the potential opportunities. But I think that whole sector, anything involving space is going to be getting a lot of attention over the next seven years, also anything in aviation. And I think that the SpaceX IPO is just going to boost any other, any other stocks in that sector. So I think I'm going to like normalize that. Yes, exactly. Like if you're going to see regular people investing in space. Absolutely. Yeah. What is the most that a client of yours has ever made based on your guidance? I have worked with people who we started working together when they were making, you know, $100,000 a year. And within just a few years, seeing them have billion dollar venture capitalists, rounds, seeing them, seeing their companies go public. It's one of the most rewarding experiences that I have as an astrologer who loves helping people. I love helping people find pathways to their dreams. That's so cool. And so I have a client right now, Neutraceutical Company. And we are looking at a billion dollar merger acquisition. Whoa. Yeah. Yeah. When did you start with that? I started with them about four years ago. And I've weathered all kinds of FDA regulations. And all kinds of major milestones with them. And I feel a lot of ownership actually with my clients. I feel like their success is my success. And so when I see them achieving outcomes that are beyond their dreams, I feel like I'm experiencing that same kind of success. Do you feel like you should have equity in these companies? And there are some that I have, but yeah, there are some that I have not all of them because some people, some founders come to me and they come to me as individuals. And then they realize, oh, you can do this for my business too. Some companies I've worked with, I do have equity. And then that does make me even more, I'm very, I'm very competitive. I'm very ambitious. I'm very competitive. I've got that, I've got a lot of Scorpio placements in my chart. So I can be very passionate when I see the potential of something. And so yes, that I like to think it makes sense sometimes to have an equity or to have some kind of success fee because that I'm bought in. Yeah, I got that. So yeah, that makes a lot of sense.

Maybe it's Mavily. Hello, I'm Simon Mayo and I'm Mark Kermud. At a great episode we have for you lined up, Mark, what are you doing on the latest take? It's a pack show. We have reviews of Heart of the Beast, Brad Pitt and a dog, her private hell, the new film from Nick Winding Reffen, a Bournemon and the Devil, a documentary about the worst film ever made and sense and sensibility with our super special guest, gorgeous George McKay. Don't miss a single second of the latest take. Okay, so you've had an incredible 36.4 average ROI since 2019, which like blows most hedge funds out of the water. That is insane. Can you explain how that happened, how do you calculate that? We need to know, do you have a fund that we can all invest in? What's the deal? I should start one. That's a great energy index fund. Right. I actually do. I have two VC funds that I work with. Cool. Very closely. So, yeah, and it surprised me when I was interviewed for the cut, I didn't know that percentage and then I looked at it and I thought, oh my gosh, wow, you know, I grew up in a very working class family. My dad's an art teacher. My mom was, runs a nonprofit and so I didn't have a lot of financial education or mentoring. It was about 2019 when I realized I need to do something different because what I'd been doing wasn't working, I wasn't building wealth and I was ready to take my whole life to another level and so I started to really mentor with a financial astrologer who is one of the best in the world and I started to find out not only when to get in and when to buy but when to sell because I think some of the success that I've had and knowing when to get in and when to get out. So, I watch it, I look at it every day and I'm always looking at the charts of different companies that I invest in and seeing number one, what is the success like of that chart? Where is it going? What kinds of trends are going to be happening with it? but then I also look at how that chart and I relate to one another. So I treat that. it very much like I would treat a friend or a partner looking at compatibility and before I started really getting into financial astrology, I did a lot of love a lot and that was my main thing, helping people with their love lives and also just other goals that they had but a lot of personal and so I got to know compatibility like the back of my hand and so now I can take any IPO date chart, any chart for any IPO and I can look at it with my chart or with my client's chart and see are we going to have a good relationship? I wanted to just quickly touch on prediction markets because you recently have started using astrology to bet on them, you know, prediction markets are like Colchie and specifically you've been betting on which politicians are going to get fired, I hear that you have made money off of Chrissy Nome and Pambondi losing power, so who do you think is the most astrologically doomed person in Washington right now, like who are we betting against next? Cash Patel? I think Cash Patel is at risk. I actually think Trump, yeah, oh, yeah, so yeah, you mentioned putting money down on Donald Trump being out of office because the astrology shows major changes in power by 2027. Yes, and the chart for the inauguration of Trump's second term has a lot of instability and so that chart, just looking at that chart, we can see that he's likely not going to finish out his term and the eclipses, eclipses are catalysts, they signify major turning points and a lot of times turning points in leadership, peo who's in power, who's not. We saw this with the Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. He had those February eclipses, he had the February 17 eclips aspecting his son, his son of his personal planets, we, that those eclipses also aspected Trump and Vance and Nanyahu, the charts of the U.S., the charts of Israel, because countries have charts too. And so we see a lot of activity happening around eclipses. Trump is born on an eclips. Whoa. Yes. So eclipses happen anytime there's been a major, he was born on a lunar eclips, anytime there's been a lunar eclips, we see something happening with him, either his health or an assassination attempt, and so we have eclipses in August that activate some very sensitive points in his chart. Wow. Yes, and I'm not. It needs to hire you. Yes. You know, we saw, I saw those assassination attempts during his campaign. We saw those astrologically? Yes. Whoa. And so they weren't fake. I mean, I think they probably were fake, I think one of them was. I think one of them wasn't. And I think the more recent one probably was. You can see times when leaders or individuals might need to be more careful when their health could be in risk. You can also see times when you want to be extra careful walking down the street. Yeah. So I think I think a lot of world leaders have astrologers. And you know, Ronald Reagan was very public about his astrologer. And so a lot of them have astrologers, they just don't talk about it. For my listeners, what would you give, what advice would you give them if they wanted to start using astrology to guide their finances? The best piece of advice that I got started with when I started working diligently with financial astrology was follow the moon. This is the easiest thing that anyone who doesn't, who knows just the bare minimum about astrology can work with. And the general idea is buy at the new moon, sell at the full moon. And this is like clockwork, like I said, these are very, these are established rhythms that we naturally have. And so watch the moon. Follow the moon. Okay. Great. And you're giving advice. You're helping people, of course, but do you ever feel like like financial astrology could become exploitative? I mean, there must be other people who do things that are similar to you, but you do it in a way that you would never do it. Yeah. So what should we look out for? Well, first of all, I think be wary of anyone who says that they have all the answers or anyone who's not licensed to get financial advice saying, here's my financial advice. Yeah. Gotta be very careful. Also there's an accreditation process for astrologers. Oh, wow. I love that. And there are recognized organizations that have very strict guidelines for who's certified and who's not. You read the astrology of my followers, like as a group, are they like, do they have a chart? So we can see your followers through your chart. Okay. Cool. So guys, listen up. Listen. The moon relates to our audience and our customers. So if you're a founder or you're working with an client business, the moon is the kinds of people who you attract easily without much work and what people want to hear from you. So your moon's in cancer. So your audience is probably a lot of women and also people who want to have families who want to create generational wealth. Yeah. That's such a, that's so funny. That's a huge pillar for me of is the generational wealth thing. Like, and maybe it comes from the cancer in my chart, too, where it's like the creating of the security. But that's like my biggest videos are about generational wealth. Mm-hmm. So interesting. It is. And that's what people, that's what you're, so you're, uh, audience, anyone who loves hearing what you have to say and your readers, they're going to connect to you as being like a mentor, as being like mom, a bear, a protector. So you emit that, that energy to them. Love that. So the audience is the moon, those are your people. And in a business chart, that's also your customers. So, so for, okay, this is the official chart of the zippers. So your zippers are people who want bigger lives. Yeah. They want to expand what they have, and they want to expand their worldview. They want to travel. They want the freedom of money. And any, I love a Sagittarius moon. I also love your, the financial T, your, your podcast has a liberal rising. Ooh. Yes. And so, that the liberal rising gives people the ability to really see themselves in your work. And so it's, you've got a nice balanced approach, it's, you've got that sense of helping people to, to have the, the life they want. And your, your podcast was started during this really cool series of trans, it's called Triple Kazini. Triple Kazini. Triple Kazini. Oh my God. The Triple Kazini. Yes. Oh, okay. I know. I'm so excited to hear that. Yes. In Capricorn. Triple Kazini and Capricorn. Yes. Oh my gosh. To date for you, I would have picked this date. You would have picked Triple Kazini. Yes. I would have. Whoa. Okay. Crazy. Yeah. Because the student became the teacher. Exactly. Exactly. Right. Whenever we have a planet meeting up in the heart of the sun, meaning very close to the sun, then we have a new cycle starting with that, that planet in that planet gets a lot of extra light and a lot of extra energy. So, in January of 2026, we had Mercury, Venus, and Mars all moving back and forth in that Kazini position with the sun. Kazini. It is. It's a Kazini. So, your chart has those conjunctions present within it in the sign of Capricorn, which is very goal-oriented, very focused, and that's had a serious moon. So, the zippers are in being well taken care of, and you're here to teach them how they can have the expansive financial life that they most desire. Love it.
