0:00 Haley Sacks? Okay, so I just gave my apartment a major refresh and hands down, the hardest thing to get right was the rug. I just couldn't find one that fit right. And I really wanted something that pulled the room together because like a rug is a big deal. But then I found Ernesta. And Ernesta's amazing, you guys. It makes designer quality rugs custom cut to the exact size of your space. So it actually fits instead of almost fits and looks great the first time. Like in the past, I've just defaulted to stock sizes when buying rugs. And also like when you're in a New York City apartment, that really just doesn't cut it, but they're all weirdly shaped. But with Ernesta, you can send photos and dimension to Ernesta's design team and they
0:41 Haley Sacks? help you get the size exactly right, completely free of charge. Hand selected by design experts, Ernesta rugs are beautiful, they're durable, and they're made for the way you actually live. Cut, finished, and delivered in as little as two weeks. Visit ernesta.com and order five samples for only $10 and you will get $50 toward any rug of your choice. That is E R N E S T A dot com.
1:07 Speaker 01 The other day I was going through my desk and I found a journal right from when I graduated and it had pen and paper, how much I spent each day. At this time, I think I was making around $40,000 and access cash flow was pretty tight. So I had to watch every penny. I think about how far we've come with technology and advancements to help us with this stuff. We don't need a journal with pen and paper anymore. The answers are out there. And Monarch is one of those answers. Monarch is literally, it's like having a financial advisor in your pocket. So you can use AI to help see what you're spending. Monarch will help you have full visibility in your accounts. It will help you see your trends. It will help you set goals, map out big purchases,
1:52 Speaker 01 see if you're actually on track to where you wanted to be. You can ask Monarch's AI assistant anything about your finances. Like, hey, how much should I spend on travel last summer? Can I afford this vacation without touching my savings? You can spot things you wouldn't think about before, like, oh, hey, has my spending gone up or just inflation? I was using pen and paper. Now you can use tools like a full financial advisor in your pocket and that's called Monarch. So what you want to do is you want to go to monarch.com, use code trading.
2:24 Speaker 01 The first year of Monarch Core is half off at just 50 bucks. That's 50% off your first year. Just go to monarch.com with code trading.
2:37 Speaker 02 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. And so anytime I'm working with clients.
2:53 Haley Sacks? Rachel, you told us that we weren't, that you were, we shouldn't stop scrolling when they say the scary thing.
2:58 Speaker 02 I'm not, there's nothing to be afraid of.
3:02 Haley Sacks? This is Financial Tea.
3:06 Haley Sacks? 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 Ling 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 Tea.
3:37 Speaker 02 Thank you so much for having me on the show.
3:39 Haley Sacks? 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, I'm more a pop culture gal, 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 Hormuz bullshit.
4:23 Haley Sacks? I'm like, yeah, the airfare prices are just going to stay raised. Like, when does inflation come down? That's what 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 a savings account, basically earning nothing. And they're losing purchasing power every single year, but they have this idea that
5:08 Haley Sacks? 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 beat 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.
5:50 Haley Sacks? 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 Uber surge pricing, how they just absolutely screw you when it's raining and make things more expensive because everyone wants to take an Uber. So there's a lot of demand. Well, with FIFA, the more demand that their algorithm saw for World Cup tickets, the higher the prices went. And honestly, damned 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 Taylor Swift at the Eras Tour, like for soccer, come on, sorry, for football. And this is so much more expensive than the last World Cup.
6:33 Haley Sacks? 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 had 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,
7:18 Haley Sacks? they're involved in the resale market is I think what makes this story also really interesting. Because like even though tickets are unsold 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 would love to watch your Instagram stories from a place that's like a bit more private.
8:03 Haley Sacks? Okay, our final story is obviously about the New York Knicks. No, this is not about like how much the seats are courtside 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 courtside 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.
8:47 Haley Sacks? 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 $9 billion. 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 why 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
9:30 Haley Sacks? 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,
10:15 Haley Sacks? 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 wagers, 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?
10:56 Haley Sacks? Okay. Well, love you guys. Go New York, go New York, go. Enjoy the rest of the episode and stay rich.
11:06 Haley Sacks? Okay, so we always start with three questions for our guests.
11:10 Speaker 02 Okay.
11:10 Haley Sacks? So the first one is, drumroll please, what gives you the financial ick?
11:16 Speaker 02 Oh, ah, well, first of all, anything that's taking advantage of people.
11:22 Haley Sacks? Yes.
11:23 Speaker 02 Oh, like the, or anything that's inauthentic, you know, big launches that just feel, you know? So that, that's what it is. Inauthenticity, lack of ethics, those are the things that give me the ick.
11:38 Haley Sacks? Cause you have like a marketing background. So you're saying when you see people just marketing to, for their own sake versus doing, cause it's like something they believe in.
11:46 Speaker 02 Absolutely.
11:47 Haley Sacks? That's a good ick.
11:47 Speaker 02 Yeah.
11:48 Haley Sacks? Yeah, I totally get that.
11:49 Speaker 02 Yeah.
11:49 Haley Sacks? There's so many people like that.
11:51 Speaker 02 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.
12:00 Haley Sacks? Oh, yeah, that's my whole TikTok feed.
12:02 Speaker 02 It is.
12:03 Haley Sacks? Stop scrolling.
12:04 Speaker 02 Yes, I know. And then it, it paints astrology in this, in kind of a, in a bad light. And, and I think that it misses the point. And a lot of times it is just clickbait. And so that gives me the ick too.
12:18 Haley Sacks? That's such a good point. Yeah. And it's like, they say, never let fear be your financial advisor.
12:23 Speaker 02 Love that.
12:24 Haley Sacks? And so it's sort of the same thing.
12:25 Speaker 02 Mm-hmm.
12:26 Haley Sacks? Do you feel rich today?
12:29 Speaker 02 I feel so rich.
12:31 Haley Sacks? I love that.
12:32 Speaker 02 I do. And, and I, 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, 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 and.
13:01 Haley Sacks? We're so grateful to have you.
13:02 Speaker 02 Thank you so much.
13:03 Haley Sacks? 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.
13:13 Speaker 02 Yes.
13:14 Haley Sacks? So so many people are thinking about themselves financially in this past way that just is like behavior that they picked up or be 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 going to get there so much faster.
13:39 Speaker 02 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.
13:58 Haley Sacks? Like is it seven years old?
14:00 Speaker 02 A seven and a half, yes.
14:01 Haley Sacks? That's so great. This is so, continue, sorry.
14:04 Speaker 02 And we have another Saturn cycle at fourteen and a half, fifteen. 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, or 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
14:47 Speaker 02 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?
15:07 Haley Sacks? 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're, 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 astrologists is sort of crazy. You know, in a cool, in a cool way.
15:29 Speaker 02 Yes, thank you. Yeah. So I, I work with, 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.
16:05 Haley Sacks? It's like riding the waves. Do you have like a little push behind you?
16:07 Speaker 02 Exactly.
16:08 Haley Sacks? Yeah, because life's already so hard.
16:10 Speaker 02 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 going to feel the most rewarding. So lots of applications for astrology. And I'm also very psychic and intuitive.
16:55 Speaker 02 And so I, 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 fashion week, we can see. And so I can help my clients to navigate their own personal decisions based on what, where they are, and also keeping into consideration
17:37 Speaker 02 the larger economic cycles that we're in.
17:41 Haley Sacks? What are some ways that you've used astrology to help people be successful? And business and money.
17:48 Speaker 02 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 is, it sets up the, the major themes that you're going to go through, opportunities, challenges. And when we select a birth date, I'm very, I'm very obsessive about this. We pick a day that is going to bring out the very best potential of what the, of what the company is trying to accomplish.
18:18 Haley Sacks? So interesting because 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, she met all these like businessmen and they were like, oh, you're starting a business. Well, just so you know, business is war. And she's very intuitive and feminine and like connected to her intuition. And she was like, I don't want business to be war. 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 or whatever. And, but it's interesting because it's like money and business feel like 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
19:02 Haley Sacks? 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.
19:25 Speaker 02 Yeah, I think you're, 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
20:07 Speaker 02 aggressive, war-like paradigm has left a lot of people out.
20:12 Haley Sacks? Totally, yeah.

20:44 Haley Sacks? 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 like 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 some 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?
21:21 Speaker 02 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.
21:50 Haley Sacks? Like you were saying that you, one of your sectors that doesn't work is food. And so when you-
21:54 Speaker 02 Absolutely.
21:55 Haley Sacks? So tell us about when you invested in Beyond Meat.
21:57 Speaker 02 Okay. Well, I, I, 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 Oatly too. And so it was, you know, very soon I realized food is not my sector. I know. But my, so there are specific money points in your chart. The second house and the eighth house both determine what your, where money, where you can find money. So the second house is like
22:39 Speaker 02 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?
22:55 Haley Sacks? Of course.
22:56 Speaker 02 So your second house is governed by Sagittarius and that, which is fantastic because Sagittarius is a, is a, a sign that relates to publishing, teaching. It also relates to imports, exports, uh, let's see, what can, higher education, uh, but publishing. So anything you do in publishing, podcasting, in any kind of education that you're doing or, or, you know, you are a teacher in many ways.
23:28 Haley Sacks? Yeah.
23:29 Speaker 02 Uh, 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.
23:39 Haley Sacks? You know what's interesting? Rachel's 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.
23:47 Speaker 02 Mm hmm. Absolutely.
23:49 Haley Sacks? And it's, yeah, like I wonder like, and, but if you're not someone who feels like that, how can you work through that to, you know, bring that in? Cause 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?
24:19 Speaker 02 Mm hmm. 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.
24:31 Haley Sacks? That's so big.
24:32 Speaker 02 We all have them.
24:33 Haley Sacks? Yeah.
24:33 Speaker 02 And I know for me, growing up when I did, that a lot of the messages I received about money were, you gotta marry someone rich.
24:40 Haley Sacks? Oh, same.
24:42 Speaker 02 And, and.
24:43 Haley Sacks? Or like a man's gonna take care of you.
24:44 Speaker 02 A man's gonna take care of you.
24:46 Haley Sacks? I got that one.
24:46 Speaker 02 Or you're an artist, you better have a fallback, you're never gonna 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.
25:16 Haley Sacks? Yeah.
25:17 Speaker 02 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 shared 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.
25:48 Haley Sacks? A hundred percent. It's like so patriarchal.
25:50 Speaker 02 Yeah.
25:50 Haley Sacks? Yeah. Where it's like, it keeps you stuck.
25:52 Speaker 02 Absolutely.
25:53 Haley Sacks? 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 a, someone to believe in your client and like, tell them that they can do it.
26:03 Speaker 02 Absolutely.
26:03 Haley Sacks? 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 could be really scary to take, you know, control of your finances and do this work.
26:14 Speaker 02 Absolutely.
26:14 Haley Sacks? So whatever works. Okay. So Rachel, you have like a crazy clientele list. Obviously, we can't name names because you would get docs. Like it is basically Heidi Fleiss's book, but it's not of like men who are looking for prostitutes. It's like, you know, just CEOs who are looking for some financial advice. But I, you know.
26:34 Haley Sacks? Talk to us about these people. They're running companies or with the most powerful people in the world. You're giving them astrological advice to help them make decisions. Like, are these world leaders more spiritual than like we realize?
26:48 Speaker 02 Yes. So there's a quote by JP Morgan. He said, he's quoted as saying, "That millionaires don't use astrology, billionaires do."
26:58 Haley Sacks? Whoa.
26:58 Speaker 02 Yes. And I found that to be true. I mean, I think, I work with some millionaires, too. But a lot of the people-
27:06 Haley Sacks? You're like, "I only do the bees."
27:07 Speaker 02 Yes, 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.
27:38 Haley Sacks? That's crazy.
27:38 Speaker 02 It's so exciting. And nothing makes me more-
27:41 Haley Sacks? I tell you, I'm like, "Oh, you should launch on this day." And like, "Here's when we should do the IPO." That's so crazy.
27:46 Speaker 02 Right.
27:47 Haley Sacks? Wow.
27:47 Speaker 02 And I've also helped directors, producers, with show casting, 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's 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 it's pattern recognition. So we have these cycles, planetary cycles
28:29 Speaker 02 that are like clockwork. They repeat themselves over and over again.
28:33 Haley Sacks? By the way, same with the stock market.
28:34 Speaker 02 Yes.
28:34 Haley Sacks? 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.
28:40 Speaker 02 Absolutely. And there's a correlation between those stock market cycles and-
28:47 Speaker 02 Astrological cycles.
28:49 Haley Sacks? Wow.
28:49 Speaker 02 For example, there is, there are these, these peaks and these valleys, these peaks and highs and lows. And we can track 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.
29:11 Haley Sacks? Wow.
29:12 Speaker 02 And then 19 years later, we have that same cycle repeating. So different, 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.
29:32 Haley Sacks? I know.
29:33 Speaker 02 But we're going into one of those next year. And so anytime I'm working with clients.
29:37 Haley Sacks? Rachel, you told us that we weren't, that you were, we shouldn't stop scrolling when they say the scary thing.
29:42 Speaker 02 I'm not, I'm gonna, I'm not gonna, don't be, there's nothing to be afraid of.
29:46 Haley Sacks? Yes.
29:46 Speaker 02 Because if you.
29:47 Haley Sacks? It always comes back.
29:47 Speaker 02 It always comes back. And if you have cash, or if you have any kind of money to put into the market.
29:53 Haley Sacks? That's your buying on sale, baby.
29:54 Speaker 02 Yeah, absolutely.
29:55 Haley Sacks? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
29:56 Speaker 02 Absolutely.
29:56 Haley Sacks? For doubling down.
29:57 Speaker 02 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?
30:07 Haley Sacks? Yeah.
30:08 Speaker 02 If you're selling a house, do you 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 us. 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.
30:38 Haley Sacks? Yeah.
30:39 Speaker 02 Because any financial astrologer, or most astrologers who are working with businesses are very practical. A lot of us were trained in business.
30:48 Haley Sacks? You have a marketing, you have like this whole marketing background.
30:51 Speaker 02 Absolutely.
30:51 Haley Sacks? Yeah.
30:52 Speaker 02 And so we're not.
30:55 Speaker 02 I think a lot of people think that astrology is just this woo woo field.
30:59 Haley Sacks? Yeah.
31:00 Speaker 02 And, 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
31:16 Haley Sacks? The stars.
31:16 Speaker 02 The stars, the planets.
31:17 Haley Sacks? So interesting. That makes so much sense. So is there, so you're basically 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 is 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, 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?
31:51 Speaker 02 Well, so it's, I think it's
31:53 Haley Sacks? Is it gonna be a trillion? Like, should we do it? It was a crazy filing.
31:57 Speaker 02 I know, I know. Well, and I will say, just my caveat, I'm not licensed to give you
32:01 Haley Sacks? Of course not. But we need to know the tea.
32:04 Speaker 02 And my wife's an attorney, so she told me, don't talk about specific companies.
32:08 Haley Sacks? Well, we can, as long as we caveat it.
32:10 Speaker 02 Yes, yes. So
32:11 Haley Sacks? Everything that you hear here, you can use at your own discretion.
32:14 Speaker 02 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 airwaves, transportation, communications. SpaceX is launching at a time when Uranus has just entered into the sign of Gemini. And SpaceX, it's, it's launching in June 12th. Is that correct? That's the date? Yes. So that's, the sun's in Gemini. So SpaceX, what it's going to do, this IPO, and there are others that are happening right
32:56 Speaker 02 around then, is it's going to propel that whole sector that is already getting so much attention with these outer planets.
33:04 Haley Sacks? So it's gonna be, it's gonna like push them all into the spotlight. But whether or not, do you think that it's gonna be the one, though? Like?
33:11 Speaker 02 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 SpaceX, any space or aviation stocks are going to be bleeding into the defense area as well. So I think SpaceX is going to, I think SpaceX has the potential to really go big.
33:52 Speaker 02 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 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 cycle is changing, starting, ending in June anyway. And so I would, I would, if we were working together and you were asking me that specific
34:37 Speaker 02 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-
35:04 Haley Sacks? It's going to like normalize it.
35:05 Speaker 02 Yes, exactly.
35:06 Haley Sacks? Like if you're going to see regular people investing in space.
35:09 Speaker 02 Absolutely.
35:09 Haley Sacks? Yeah. What is the most that a client of yours has ever made based on your guidance?
35:14 Speaker 02 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-
35:28 Speaker 02 Venture capitalist 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.
35:45 Haley Sacks? That's so cool.
35:46 Speaker 02 And so I have, I have a client right now, nutraceutical company, and we are looking at a billion dollar merger acquisition.
35:56 Haley Sacks? Whoa.
35:57 Speaker 02 Yeah.
35:58 Haley Sacks? And when did you start with them?
36:00 Speaker 02 I started with them about four years ago. And it, and I've, 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, with my clients. I feel like their success is my success. And, and so when I see them achieving outcomes that are beyond their dreams, I feel like I'm experiencing that same kind of success.
36:34 Haley Sacks? Do you feel like you should have equity in these companies?
36:38 Speaker 02 That there are some that I have.
36:40 Haley Sacks? Oh, that's good.
36:41 Speaker 02 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.
36:50 Haley Sacks? Yeah, yeah.
36:51 Speaker 02 Some companies I've worked with, I do have equity. And, 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, so I can be, I can be very passionate when I, when I see the potential of something. And, and so, yes, that, that, that I like to, I think it makes sense sometimes to have an equity or to have some kind of success fee because, because then I'm bought in.
37:26 Haley Sacks? Yeah, I got that.
37:27 Speaker 02 So, yeah.
37:28 Haley Sacks? That makes a lot of sense.

38:31 Haley Sacks? 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 like how that happened? Like, how do you calculate that? Like, what, like, we need to know this, like, do you have a fund that we can all invest in? Like, what's the deal?
38:53 Speaker 02 I should start one.
38:53 Haley Sacks? You need like an astrology, like, index fund?
38:57 Speaker 02 Right. And I actually do. I have two VC funds that I work with.
39:00 Haley Sacks? Oh, cool.
39:00 Speaker 02 Very closely. So, yeah, so and it surprised me when I was interviewed for The Cut. I did, 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, works, runs a nonprofit. And so I didn't have a lot of financial education.
39:24 Haley Sacks? Yeah.
39:25 Speaker 02 Or mentoring. It was about 2019 when I realized I need to, 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, 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 so knowing when to get in and when to get out. So I watch it, I look at it every 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?
40:11 Speaker 02 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 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, 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.
40:53 Speaker 02 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?
41:00 Haley Sacks? I wanted to just quickly touch on prediction markets because you recently have started using astrology to bet on them. You know, prediction markets like Colsey and specifically, you've been betting on which politicians are going to get fired? I hear that you have made money off of Kristi Noem and Pam Bondi losing power. So who do you think is the most astrologically doomed person in Washington right now? Like, who are we betting against next? Kash Patel?
41:29 Speaker 02 I, I think Kash Patel is at risk. I actually think Trump.
41:32 Haley Sacks? Yeah. Oh.
41:33 Speaker 02 Yeah.
41:34 Haley Sacks? Cause you, yeah, you mentioned putting money down on Donald Trump being out of office because the astrology shows major changes in power by 2027.
41:42 Speaker 02 Yes, and the chart for the inauguration of Trump's second term had, 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. 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 17th eclipse aspecting his son or some of his personal planets. We, that, those eclipses also aspected Trump and Vance and Netanyahu.
42:32 Speaker 02 The charts of the US, 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 eclipse.
42:43 Haley Sacks? Whoa.
42:43 Speaker 02 Yes. So eclipses happen. Anytime there's been a major, he was born on a lunar eclipse. Anytime there's been a lunar eclipse, we see something happening with him, either his health or an assassination attempt. And so we have eclipses in August that activates some very sensitive points in his chart.
43:03 Haley Sacks? Wow.
43:04 Speaker 02 Mm hmm. Yes, and I'm not-
43:05 Haley Sacks? He needs to hire you.
43:06 Speaker 02 You know what? Yes. You know, we saw, I saw those assassination attempts during his campaign.
43:13 Haley Sacks? You saw those astrologically?
43:14 Speaker 02 Yes. Yes.
43:16 Haley Sacks? Whoa. So they weren't fake?
43:18 Speaker 02 I mean, I think they probably were fake. I think, I think, 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.
43:57 Haley Sacks? For my listeners, what would you give, what advice would you give them if they wanted to start using astrology to guide their finances?
44:05 Speaker 02 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.
44:40 Haley Sacks? 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.
44:54 Speaker 02 Yeah.
44:55 Haley Sacks? So what should we look out for?
44:56 Speaker 02 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 give financial advice, saying, here's my financial advice.
45:08 Haley Sacks? Yep.
45:09 Speaker 02 Got to be very careful. Also, there's an accreditation process for astrologers.
45:14 Haley Sacks? Oh, wow. I love that.
45:15 Speaker 02 And there are recognized organizations that have very strict guidelines for who's certified and who's not.
45:23 Haley Sacks? Can you read the astrology of my followers? Like, as a group, are they like, do they have a chart?
45:29 Speaker 02 So we can see your followers through your chart.
45:32 Haley Sacks? Okay, cool. So guys, listen up.
45:34 Speaker 02 Listen, the moon relates to our audience and our customers. So if you're a founder or you're working in a client business, the, 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, your audience is probably a lot of women, and also people who want to have families, who want to create generational wealth.
46:02 Haley Sacks? 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.
46:14 Speaker 02 Mm hmm.
46:15 Haley Sacks? So interesting.
46:16 Speaker 02 It is. And that's what people, that's what people, that's what you're, so your audience, anyone who, who loves hearing what, hearing what you have to say, and your, your readers, they're going to connect to you as being like a mentor, as being like mama bear protector. So you emit that, that energy to them.
46:38 Haley Sacks? Love that.
46:39 Speaker 02 So the audience is the moon. Those are your people. And in a business chart, that's also your customers. So, so for
46:48 Haley Sacks? Okay, this is the official chart of the sippers.
46:51 Speaker 02 So your sippers are people who want bigger lives.
46:54 Haley Sacks? Yeah.
46:54 Speaker 02 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 tea. Your, your podcast has a Libra rising.
47:11 Haley Sacks? Ooh.
47:12 Speaker 02 Yes. And so it, that, the Libra 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 transits called Triple Kazimi.
47:37 Haley Sacks? Triple Kazimi.
47:39 Speaker 02 Triple Kazimi.
47:40 Haley Sacks? Oh my God, the Triple Kazimi.
47:41 Speaker 02 Yes, yes.
47:42 Haley Sacks? Oh damn. Sony is like so excited to hear that.
47:44 Speaker 02 Yes, in Capricorn.
47:46 Haley Sacks? Triple Kazidi in Capricorn. Oh my gosh.
47:49 Speaker 02 If I could have picked a date for you, I would have picked this date.
47:52 Haley Sacks? You would have picked Triple Kazidi?
47:54 Speaker 02 Yes, I would have.
47:54 Haley Sacks? Whoa, okay, crazy.
47:56 Speaker 02 Yeah, because
47:58 Haley Sacks? The student became the teacher.
48:00 Speaker 02 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. And 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 Kazimi position with the sun.
48:24 Haley Sacks? Kazimi.
48:24 Speaker 02 It is, it's Kazimi. So your chart has, has those conjunctions present within it in the sign of Capricorn, which is very goal oriented, very focused, and that Sagittarius moon. So the sippers 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.
48:50 Haley Sacks? Love it. Well, thank you so much for being on The financial tea, Rachel. Thank you. This was so awesome. Thank you so much. You did an amazing job. Thank you. And we will see you guys next week. Thank you so much. Stay rich.
