This week the sky is giving a little chaos goblin, a little cosmic genius, and a little of the group chat popping off. Matt, welcome to Cosmic RX Radio, a podcast that gives you real-life tools of spiritual empowerment and pure hype. I'm your host and intuitive guide, Maddie Murphy, I'll be serving up your weekly energy readings, Cosmic Boss interviews, and Astro inspiration. Are you ready to love yourself more, manifest your dream life, and own your magic? Let's jump in. Yup, that's right, my cosmic baddies, my celestial cuties, my beautiful little star babies. We are back with another episode of Cosmic RX Radio. I am your girl, your high vibe height woman, your cosmic consultant, Maddie Murphy. Let's take a breath. Let's check in with ourselves. How are we feeling? How are we doing? What is alive and juicy for you right now? And then I have to get into a little special happy birthday, happy solar return season to my Geminis, my cosmic connectors, my cosmic click clackers, my divine yappers, my mystic messengers, my little sexy shape shifters and mystic meme queens. This is your time, right? This is your solar return season, and what a season it is, because we're going to have Uranus and the sun linking up, which means all bets are off. It's time to get feral, and you are going to be just probably DMS overflow with so many things happening, and I'm just gonna say right now, come, come closer. If anybody be talking shit on my Geminis, I will them up like I'm sorry you hate Gemini energy because you're so boring. I'm sorry you hate Gemini energy because you're so one dimensional, and also I'm always like, I reject the slander, and every time I meet someone, it wasn't like a zodiac sign, 99% of the time, first of all, it was a man, a dusty, crusty ex, and that is somebody's son who needs to take responsibility for a lot in life, not just his sun sign. Okay, but let me just preach. Let me get on my pulpit. Let me get on my soapbox for a second. People love saying Gemini, and you too. Hey, it's Gemini. No, Gemini is curiosity. Gemini is possibility. Gemini is the ability to hold nuance, to hold two ideas, two truths at once, to hold contradictions, and say, oh, maybe we can actually have multiple things that can be true at once. Gemini teaches us that evolution requires movement. Gemini keeps our brain supple, and Gemini, I'm sorry, I love the gift of gab, like I love the way Gemini energy lights me up, tickles me pink, has me giggling till I'm peeing in my pants, and also that, like, Geminis are truly the champagne bubbles of life, when things are just starting to feel flat, a little stagnant. Gemini energy comes in blue, and like reminds us that we can be fizzy and fun. And yes, feral. So, happy birthday to all of you. And, like, I said, this birthday season is extra spicy because we're going to move into some major sun, Uranus in Gemini activation station, so get ready for random conversations to change your whole perspective, your whole damn life this season. Maybe you're gonna have some cosmic connections in the street, like some meet cutes. Maybe we're gonna recap some old friends, maybe we're gonna just have like way too many tabs open, ideas flying notes apps like just cryptic things happening, lots of inspiration, lots of spirit, lots of air, and I'm excited to get into what's happening this week in the planetary planning. But first, Virgo announcements. So, speaking of what communication revolutions, yeah, media evolution, yeah, sharing your voice, sharing your message. We have one of my favorite offers to date live right now in the Astro Academy, and it's unlock your magnetic message, and just before you know, you think this is some normal, like, bro marketing social media strategy course that. Ain't it, babe? Okay, this is how to turn, like, your weirdness into the beacon that finds your people. This is how to own your voice, not some like corporate branded. This is how your voice should sound. This is about going into your chart, going into your heart, and like pulling out the alchemy, the medicine that happens when you realize you have a story to tell, you have something to tell in your own tone, your own maybe messy, magical, weird way that only you can, that not only helps liberate you but helps call in your ideal client, your ideal community, your ideal partner, maybe even like this is the time to take up space to use our voice to speak authentically again, not in this corporate coded way, but like genuinely authentically. And there so much happened in yours in Gemini, we're gonna realize all of these social media platforms we've known they're like focaccia, but we're really gonna feel it now, so it's not about that, it's not about performing for an algorithm or trying to get everyone to like you. Do you even like everyone, babe? Probably not. So why do you want them to like you? But using your voice as a vibrational tool to clear stuck energy to call things into you and to widen and expand your surface area for miracles and opportunities. Okay, so this is it, like your lore is expanding right now, honey. Your timeline is upgrading, your evolution is loading. So check out Unlock Your Magnetic Message in the Astro Academy. I promise you, like you have something to say, and you're the only one who can do it, babe. Okay, let's talk about the moon. Let's get into our emotional weather report. Monday, moon in Gemini - we're just starting it off with so much Gemini energy up in her, and the emotional vibe, whether it's maybe distracted but inspired. It's like your brain just wants to graze all day, but instead of snacks, we're talking like inspiration ideas. Your soul wants stimulation, and this is an excellent day for kicking off the season, brainstorming. Get out there, chat up a stranger, go to a coffee shop, write podcasts, send voice notes, text friends, just follow those random curiosity rabbit holes, like it's gonna take you somewhere important for this Gemini season, and your cosmic RX is like, do do all that, the don't is stop waiting for ideas to become polished, stop thinking that you have to wait till it altogether, stop thinking that you're too much, you're all over the place, babe, we're all over the place. If you're a multi-dimensional creator, you're all over the place, honey. Okay, so just capture the messy version, unleash her, and see what happens from there. Tuesday and Wednesday, the moon is in Cancer. Ah, the emotional support moon. Suddenly, we're all craving comfort, we're grounding down, we're focusing on the home, maybe the family, nostalgia, connection, your nervous system might be like alert, alert, can we like get into some safe space before Gemini season totally kicks off, or maybe it's just feeling like, yeah, we want to have a night and cancel unnecessary obligations, good cosmic RX. I'm talking unnecessary. I don't want to hear about anybody like flaking on big milestone things. That friend that always shows up for you, and then it's their birthday, and you're like, 'I'm tired of protecting my peace. I've seen this too much on the TikToks and the social medias. Nah, honey, I'm an elder millennial. Like, we strapped on those platform Steve Maddens and our bandage skirt, and like, went out chugging freaking day quill, added up our little like knockoff designer purses and our wristlets with our digital cameras in it, and I'm not saying that was healthy, but it created persistence, a perseverance, a fighting spirit that the party girl energy really thrives on life is for the living. Okay, so side note to Cancer Moon Day, but back to that. If it's unnecessary obligation, if it's something you really don't want to do, cancel it. Yeah, it'll feel good. Call your mama or someone who mothers you or mother yourself, like just take it down a few notches, be cozy. Thursday and Friday, the moon is in Leo. Yeah, it's the main character, moon. We love that. Is it attention seeking? Maybe. Who cares? Is the attention deserving? Absolutely. The Leo moon wants you in your joy, in your play, in your visibility, in your inner child energy, in celebration energy, in like just being over the top, just because, so your cosmic RX, wear something hot, wear something extra, like take some pictures, take some B roll, like show up, let yourself be seen. Okay, you do not need someone's permission. Lip to be witnessed, we're just gonna look out for being like overly dramatic in a way that's like not cool, like everything is about you, but it's also not about you. Are you picking up what I'm putting down? Okay. Saturday and Sunday the moon goes into Virgo, a Virgo moon weekend. Oh, Gemini sun, so much mutability. Okay, so it's time to get our lives together, but like not in a perfect way, not that, just like lovingly. Virgo moon is like, oh, it feels good to have some routines, it feels good to get rid of some clutter. It's truly like self-care, the self-devotion. So, Virgo moon, choose one thing that you're sure you will thank you for doing. I don't care, drink water, I don't know, clean out, I guess I do some floor organizing. I know I'm busy in life when I, as a floor pile of stuff, starts to gather and build, or go touch grass. Okay, like go do something that just feels like I cleared some space, I made some space for myself. That's going to help those Gemini season downloads have more room to play, so let's get into, are we ready for this week? This, the planets are clocking so much tea, as the kids say. This week is tea as hell. So, right off the bat, on may 17, staying there through June 1, Mercury moves into Gemini, and immediately, like, Gemini season is not wasting a second. Can we tell Mercury is home here, right? So, it means our mind is really tuned into the Gemini energy. We're really extra curious, extra social, extra chatty. You might feel ideas coming through at warp speed. This is energy, it's like collaboration, it's creative energy, it's giving pop up, it's giving pop culture, it's giving like let's just try this and see where it goes, it's giving like almost bush of the mind, like little nibble nibble, ooh, what's lighting me up, short term projects, hallelujah, unexpected conversations, hallelujah, brainstorms, hallelujah, but attention spans, uh, yeah, baby, the attention spans are fighting for their lives, so move your body ground down, walk, bike, wander, touch grass. Definitely figure out your priorities, like what is worth your attention and intention right now. Because Mercury is going to immediately come in and link up with Uranus, can we say lightning bolt energy? Can we say downloads? Can we say like eureka, aha, gadzooks? This is it. This is like random thoughts, weird conversations. Who's appearing? This is all like tiny interactions are going to become whole as portals in ways that I can't totally even articulate, like the magnitude of it, so Mars enters Taurus, then the day after may 18, which is so needed. So we've been in Mars and Aries, all that Aries like stellium portal, we went through in April. Now we're going into like from the 18th to June 28 which is also in Jupiter's move from Cancer to Leo. We had these next few weeks with, like, who, like, I'm so grateful for this Mars and Taurus to keep us, like, a little bit anchored in our body to the Earth, and Mars and Taurus is really going to say, like, slow down, no, but, like, actually, like, slower, like, literally the way to be productive Mars energy, to like tune into forward motion, and to energy is going to be to like slow, which is interesting, right? So much of astrology can seem paradoxical or like a dichotomy, but it's it's like the brain is firing off, we have to stay in the body, so we don't like orbit off, you know, into outer space, and we're still here to like be in the human experience, and this transit will help us have like a steady sustainable momentum, especially off of what we're building in tourist season, or what we put out for our intentions for the tourist new moon. I know in our community, we talked about some great things, one of them being like, what's our pleasure priority? So, this would be a great time to anchor into that, right? Steady effort, pleasure with purpose, and really making some moves, maybe like financially put yourself in a different arena. Okay, so Taurus is always going to remind us that abundance is built through consistency and building, of course, but feeling good, right, like letting it feel good, listen to music, cook something delicious, buy the flowers, rest, take in art, be art, go little sacred particle energy, this is it, like, remember you had this beautiful human life and this human experience, and like, stay rabidly, rabidly protective of that. Are you ready? Like, you ready? How much is happening? And Venus is going to enter Cancer same day, may 18 through june 13. This is giving like cozy little sweet girl Venus heart energy. Be this is emotional nesting, this is dinner parties, this is movie nights, this is like love that feels like home, and home becoming sacred. If you're in a relationship or a new one, you might feel like they're getting it's getting a bit more serious during this time. Maybe you meet the family, meet the parents, define relationships, talk future plans, and just always remember, Venus and Cancer is such a heartwarming time, and Venus and Cancer wants closeness and intimacy, but not codependence, not clinginess, not controlling, right? Love isn't like controlling another person, right? Love is making another person feel safe. Okay, so then we have on Monday, may 19, Mercury is going to trine Pluto and square the nodes. What does this mean for us? Well, honey, Mercury squaring the nodes. Conversations are getting deep. You might have, like, a twist of fate again, idea conversation connection. Can you see the theme here? Uranus is going to square the nodes later in June, and there's a lot of like twists of fate happening this Gemini season. Like, oh, I'm going to be going deep. Like, how did I just compliment someone's shoes on the subway, and now I'm like, do I know you from a past life, or talking about, you know, astrology memes in the group chat to all of a sudden going into like your deepest childhood wounds that unlocks something monumental of how you're going to move forward, like information that might seem surface level, it's going to carry a deeper weight, words have power, which they always do, but especially during this transit, and things might be sort of like again taking you on a twist of fate, is what I keep thinking of, but it's like this destiny alignment path, so sauce, okay, time to make sure that you're using your words really intentionally, right? They're spells, so making sure you're not speaking any words over yourself. Oh man, where was I when I was in France? Someone told me, I don't know if it was French, or they were describing - obviously you can tell I'm like tired mom brain right now - but they're telling me that in some language, maybe it was French, I don't think it was, but they were saying that, like, an expression for, like, instead of "I am sadness, they're like, "Sadness is like on me today, and then it could be like washed away, right? And I think that that's so cool, because that's so spiritual too. It's like we're taught the power of words, and one of the first things I remember one of my early teachers of energetics taught me back in the day was, you be careful of what you attach I am to. I am is the biggest spell, so on these days, you know, may 19, but really all of Gemini season, be really aware of what you're saying I am, you know, not saying I am broke, just saying, you know, I'm being more careful with my money right now, or I'm waiting for my next level of abundance, up leveling, right? And again, instead of like I am sad, be like I feel a little sadness in me today. Just these words have power, right? And so during this time, like being really mindful of that, be mindful of the thoughts you're thinking, audit them, be curious, put them in a little like detached sacred observer, sacred witness level. And then, Tuesday, may 20, it officially begins. We're officially in Gemini season, you know. I think, my goodness, my brain, I've been talking about this past few days, oh no, I did the moon sign. I'm so.. can you tell, like I'm already feeling the Gemini energy? So, yeah, so Sun enters Gemini, joining Mercury in Gemini, and we're really stepping into connection, into community, into movement, into curiosity, romanticizing your neighborhood. What else is Gemini cracking with siblings, cousins start that like writing that voice thing I said, unlock your magnetic message. If you want to start a sub stack, go for it. If you're to pitch yourself, if you want to take a new class, do it. Like Gemini is going to remind us that opportunities in life don't always arrive as like a big, gigantic, dramatic moment. Sometimes just putting yourself out there, trying something new, trying a new walk home, talking to someone, a stranger again, trying a new pottery class or yoga class, and seeing what's in there waiting for you. And then Thursday, May 20-second, Venus squares Neptune, so this is like just being aware of like making sure you're not projecting fantasies into situations and seeing the truth of the matter for what it is. Yeah, like this is just like also giving misinformation, fake news, so just fact check things before sharing, and like. Sometimes the Venus Neptune energy is like, don't outsource your power, right? If you catch on, you jump on a social media app this day, and some person on Threads or TikTok is like, your sign is never gonna find love or kind of have the worst Gemini season, just be like, no, you're not my spiritual authority, bruh, like it's this thing of like feeling into, like, yeah, like spiritual awareness, but then choosing the Aries, like the warrior energy, and the Venus in Cancer, like that, your internal, your intuitive guidance system. Does that make sense? And then, Friday.. ooh, Friday is the day, Friday is a day, honey, because the sun in Gemini is gonna kiss Uranus and Gemini, and we're talking surprises, we're talking curve balls, we're talking plot twists. This is about saying the genius, the witchy, wildly erratic eureka light bulb on fleek plans may change, unexpected news may arise, and yeah, like this is like leave room for mutability, leave room for adaptability, because things might have the appearance of disruption, right? And this might be actually a divine rerouting, right, or the rejection, or the redirection as protection, or the block as the blessing. Things are all over, but definitely pay attention to the ahas that you're having that day. They are significant. Can we handle that week? It's like we're doing all the things - we got Venus moving, Mars moving, we got the sun moving, we got Mercury moving. Good Lord, there's a lot happening. So just let yourself take deep breaths, and I always like to tell people, right now, I'm like, you're not behind, you're not missing it. A lot of people are having big ideas and visions, and you're starting to really see the new you that's emerging, but we want it to happen all like yesterday, and that's just not how it works. That would be so boring, right? Things that are on demand are, we just, we dispose of them pretty quickly, so enjoy the process, and you're becoming right. Your life isn't happening somewhere else, you're not on the wrong timeline, you're exactly where you need to be. Okay, and just know that this week, this Gemini season holds so much opportunity for change, right, to put yourself out there to shift through one message, one weird idea, one moment where you finally let your voice be heard, and you're like, "Oh, there it is. Okay, so stay curious, stay open, stay feral, stay hot, aligned, and unbothered. And I will see you next week. And, of course, I am wrapping you in those big ass blessings for those big fat juicy checks, and that hot fulfilling with a little dirty talk in there, and on our Gemini season toe curling sex, and I will see you next week.
