World Cup Astrology: André Barbault’s 2026 Prediction & The Return of the Matriarchy with Tasha Beg
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode of CosmicRX Radio, we sit down with The Pop Astrologist Tasha Beg to discuss the astrology of the World Cup! They break down the historical astrological alignments currently shifting our planetary frequencies—including the legendary Barbault basket alignment—and explain why underdogs are dismantling historical structures of power right in front of our eyes.
Tasha Beg is an evolutionary astrologer, intuitive storyteller, and pop culture pundit. A graduate of Wellesley College with a degree in Economics and Middle Eastern Studies, Tasha spent nearly a decade in finance, eventually rising to Vice President of Institutional Sales. However, a profound personal awakening during her Saturn Return led her to leave the corporate world in 2022 to fully dedicate her life to the sacred language of the cosmos. When she isn't analyzing soul plans for clients, she moonlights as "The Pop Astrologist," analyzing celebrity culture and forecasting cosmic weather through her weekly Substack newsletter.

Key Takeaways:
- The 2026 World Cup finals coincide perfectly with the peak of the historical Barbault basket alignment. Predicted decades ago by mundane astrologer André Barbault, this rare configuration symbolizes the literal rebirth of the cradle of civilization and a monumental turning point for collective consciousness.
- The current cosmic alignments are highlighting themes of the colonized versus the colonizer on the pitch. Countries like Cabo Verde, currently experiencing their 50-year independence Saturn return, are defying massive odds, transforming athletics into a visceral canvas of human reclamation.
- While macro-level politics remain highly chaotic under Gemini transits, the real revolutionary shifts are happening locally. Jupiter’s transition through Cancer underlines a critical somatic medicine: knowing, loving, and protecting your immediate neighbors and local environments.
- You do not have to choose between acknowledging global pain and celebrating personal creative wins. Joy is supreme creation energy. Cultivating a buoyant, vibrant spirit acts as a vital solar panel, charging your nervous system to navigate systemic shifts over the coming years.
We are born right now, on purpose, with a purpose. Your power is innate. If you were not so powerful, why would the world work so hard to make you forget it, disconnect from it, and outsource it?
Alright, you cosmic baddie. Tune in next week… and, until then, remember: love yourself fully, work your magic and take no shit!

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. Okay, my baddies. Welcome to a very special episode of Cosmic RX
Radio. Our bonus segment:If Astrology Isn't Real, I know it's been a minute since I've been on doing this, but I'm back in the game, and I'm so excited because I have the world's Instagram famous, the one, the only, oh my
Tasha Beg:god, Tasha of the pop astrologist. You have seen her content, you have liked it, you have shared it, because it speaks to that part of you. I know if you're here, if you're a cosmic RX radio baddie, it scratches that itch in your brain to know what is the astrology of this moment. What is that person's moon sign doing? WTF is happening in the stars, and how does it affect us down on Earth? So, welcome Tasha. Oh my god, I am so humbled to have this conversation. First of all, because I, too, I guess, started up in the Cosmic RX space, or I attended one of your happy hour book launches. I think, like, I vaguely remember this bookstore in the West Village, and I got, like, the Cosmic RX stickers, and so I remember thinking, oh my god, there's so much joy in this place, like, how you know, I want to make astrology fun, and so all of a sudden I find myself in pop culture land, being like, you know what, this is what my inner child would have loved,
Madi Murphy:I love that, and actually, that's what I was going to ask you before we get into, you know, just so everyone knows, you know, we had to give the teaser right at the top here, because that show biz baby, we're going to be diving into the astrology of the World Cup, and I am so freaking hype to talk about this, but first, just a little background, because I'm hoping we can make this official, and I hope you can be a recurring guest on here, so like, let's tell the baddies a little bit, like, what's your big three, and a little of, like, a mini of your journey into just getting into, like, how did you become the pop astrologist?
Tasha Beg:Sure, so I'm a Cancer Sun, Cancer season represent Sagittarius moon, which is full send energy, and I'm a Scorpio rising as well, so I think there's like this combination of wanting to really investigate everything that life has to offer, but at the same time, let's keep it light. What's the bigger truth here? Let's like talk about it. You know, I used to work in finance, so I moved to New York to start a career in investment banking, lol. That was like so Pluto, Capricorn coded, right? And ultimately I realized, oh my god, this is not it. I feel my soul dying, and I'm.. I have Leo placements, so I'm pretty hyperbolic about things, but I really felt so disconnected at the time, and I mean, this may be a trigger warning, but it was one of the most toxic workplace environments. I had gotten sexually harassed, like, you know, these are things that women, I think, navigate in the corporate environment in super hyper masculine spaces, and they never talk about it, right? It's just part of the thing you take in as you ascend the ladder. It's just this is what I have to do. It's
Madi Murphy:literally okay. Not to interrupt, you know what? I have to say something's on my mind so much.
Tasha Beg:Yeah,
Madi Murphy:last Mercury retrograde, a girl signs my DMs, and she's like, one of your things went viral. You remember me? I'm from your first job. We were in a sales shop together at this magazine, and it was so toxic, and we were laughing. This was in 2007 So, oh, think about deep cut. This is like this is pre, even like, you know, economic collapse. This is like the heyday of New York City, like finance, Wall Street sales. We had an actual seminar where one of our female bosses brought us in a room that was said, How to use your feminine wiles to close a deal, and it was like a printout, I wish I saved it. Stop. Then everyone in the office was, you know, sexual harassment aplenty, people hooking up with the.. I was like, and I think that was the moment that I was like, I don't know if this world is for me, but it is like looking back on that time, I'm like, I know so many people who kept going on that path, and that was just like you said, like, as a woman, what you're expected to navigate, but not this, not this Scorpio rising,
Tasha Beg:no,
Madi Murphy:honey,
Tasha Beg:I mean, I think what's really powerful and annoying sometimes about the Scorpio rising, right, is there is this wound merging type of energy, so whatever it's like, very chyronic in that way, whatever you have unhealed in the part of you, you're gonna attract, and it's not victim blaming, you know. For me, I had to recognize that I had walked around with this idea of I'm actually less than all these people, I had to prove something to these people, and so, like, you know. No, there was already this built-in type of social classification that I'd internalize, like being biracial, being an immigrant, being a woman, like all these things. When you mentally understand, wow, society really is stacked against you a certain way, you kind of internalize and you operate like that, right? And so that's already losing the battle to accessing who you are. And so I remember after I got in sexually harassed, I went to my boss, and I was like, this just happened. She was on maternity leave, amazing woman. Okay, incredible. But I felt so unprotected by HR, which was my hard lesson in understanding that human resources are effectively, you know, for the corporation, work for
Madi Murphy:the company, which
Tasha Beg:was a rude awakening, but necessary, because that gave me permission to take control of my life.
Madi Murphy:Yes, instead of
Tasha Beg:waiting for someone to solve it for me.
Madi Murphy:Yes. Oh, I love that. Right, like that perceived sense of stability and security isn't even there, and you learn that, you know, it sounds like at an early age. So then this brought you into the world of astrology. What was your like gateway into astrology?
Tasha Beg:What's the funny thing was, after this whole toxic thing went down at work, I was looking for, like, therapy. I was looking for some way to heal myself, or to, like, process what had happened, you know. And I found an astrologer online. I tried therapy, not my thing. Not to say that I don't like therapy. I think everyone should go to therapy. I think you should find a therapist that works for you. But I found an astrologer who saw me, and it, you know, you know that feeling, right? When your chart gets read for the first time, there's nothing like it, especially if you find an astrologer that you really connect with, they, and you trust, you really feel,"Whoa, I don't have to perform, I don't have to put on this mask, I don't have to do all these things, I have to just be based on my chart, based on my energetic potential. That's sick, and so I knew this was what I was gonna do, but I had no idea how it would look, you know, and I knew I didn't just wanna be like, not to say the typical astrologer, but I knew there was more with the creativity that I could do with astrology, and so my Virgo placements thought, how could I life hack my life, I wanna enjoy all the things I'm doing, so how do I make this a thing? And so pop culture just became a very natural like channel.
Madi Murphy:I love that,
Tasha Beg:and it's a great way to practice astrology.
Madi Murphy:It's a great way, it's constant moving, it's the constant like archetypal energy of the universe, like playing out on the world stage, and that's what I love, like it's macro, micro, as above, so below, but like in the pop culture, politics, sports version, and I think very to your sad moon. I think that's also why we click clack, like me and a sad moon. I'm like, you keep me fucking like in stitches and make everything every.. when someone's teaching, whether it's a seminar, a class, or workshop, I can right away, I'm like, they have a sad moon because I'm entertained. Oh yeah, like I'm on the hook, like, give me more, and as funny as I found your account without seeing your face, just a graphic, and I was like, damn, this is, I live for this, this is like another, if I had a whole other brain and bandwidth, this is what I want to create, and that's like to me is the highest compliment, because I'm like, I love this, and then finding out it was you, and then we met the event, and then totally vibe with your energy is what kind of leads us here today, because I was like, thank you for being a Gemini counterpart to this conversation that so many people, I'm like, I want to have this conversation deeper, and other people are like, lady, it's not that deep, but we're gonna discover today it is, it is that deep, it is that deep, okay, it always is. So, with that, let's transition to talking about what brings us here today. The World Cup,
Tasha Beg:World Cup. Have you been watching?
Madi Murphy:So, I've been watching, and I want to hear a little bit of, like, your relationship to sports for a second, because, like, I think everyone watching this, if you're like on one of these cameras, I'm like, you know, like, I don't lead as a sports girl, like, this is, like, not like Maddie, like, what are we doing today? We've been talking about the Knicks a lot, and now this, and I'm like, I am, I am in a complete, like, sports renaissance in my life. And you know, as a background growing up, I'm the oldest of four girls, and my father, Double Gemini Leo, love sports, New York sports fan through and through, and I really use it as a connection point to talk to him, because I felt in my little Pisces moon, Cancer rising self, I was like, I feel like my dad's like needs a buddy sometimes, like we're all like in this like super girl world. Yeah, so from a young age I would like, you know, study the Yankees and watch things with him, and you know, the Giants and the Knicks and everything. But then when I went to college, I was like, oh, it's my connection point when I call him, I can like look up a stat or watch a clip of a game, and I can like have something to talk with him about, because we're on a much different level. But at that point in our relationship, we weren't like going deep. I wasn't telling him about my life, like, so that kept it surface level. And then I think I used sports a little bit of like an identity protector, because I was in college and I saw how men, boys talked about women,
Tasha Beg:important clarification,
Madi Murphy:clarification. How boys talked about women, they weren't around, and I was like, if I can talk about sports, maybe they won't talk about me that way, because they won't think like I'm in on it, but not by bashing a woman, but like, don't, don't make those jokes, don't do that, because like, I can play fantasy football, I can tell. You like what Manning brother got that then, or my Saturn return, or my, my Scorpio, Saturn in the Scorpio in the fifth house was just like Maddie, no, like, and I almost like couldn't even have bandwidth for sports anymore. I was just like, no, I'm not, I'm going on a deeper dive to myself, who I am, what's happening in the world, but then a few years ago I got the download that like the sports like the pop culture and politics, like they're teaching us something, and I think sometimes people make the argument of like bread and circuses, which it absolutely can be. It can absolutely be a tool of distraction, of course, like anything, it's nuanced, and I find we're gonna talk about like the summer, the Knicks, the World Cup, they're sort of like a story playing out, like mythology in the moment, like understanding our collective story, that like at the end through the energy of these micro stories that has me hyped and jazzed in a way I didn't see cut me for the summer, like I didn't think I was gonna be missed, like I'm like at the bottom, I'm telling my husband I got like I ordered some kits, okay, some kind of selling kits on my street, some jerseys, I'm like, you have MI, you gotta have a bootleg, literally. I'm like, I gotta get, give me something for the final. And I'm also doing all the like global south jerseys. I'm like, no, I want, like, I'm like, no, no, no, I want, like, you know, I'm in Mexico, I need Morocco. So, what draws you into, like, the World Cup? We're talking about sports. Totally,
Tasha Beg:this is the funniest story. So, I'm from Malaysia, I'm half Malaysian, half Pakistani, and every time someone's like, "Why are you a Germany girl? Why are you rooting for Germany in this World Cup? I'm like, "Because Malaysia is never gonna make the World Cup, guys. Like, Malaysia and Pakistan, they're never gonna make the World Cup. Like, give me something to hold on to. But the funny story is, I remember this is core memory status, Cancer Life, 2002 World Cup, Japan, South Korea. Okay, I was in Malaysia at my dining room table, eating dinner with my mom, and all of a sudden the Germany game comes on, and I'm thinking, Who is this fine man? Michael Balak, like what? And I think that was my first live recorded memory of a crush, you know what I mean, like, where I was like, "Wow, I'm interested in this person, and this person's so athletic, and like, and then you know, I was a Chelsea fan, and then Michael Belloc went to Chelsea, and so, like, you know, there was just so many things happening at the time where I was like, "Okay, this seems really fun, and I was never a sports girlie, my mom was never someone who put me into sports or anything, so I think sports was always like the forbidden love, you know. So now, like, when people are like, why do you know so much about sport, I'm like, because I wasn't allowed to do it, and now I get to do it, and now I'm like, too lazy to actually go train, so might as well just read, you know, and like participate in the dialog. But I love it. I mean, Sagmoon, Leo placements, I just love inspirational things. Sports are such great stories,
Madi Murphy:they're such great stories, and that's what I'm excited to get into today, like the macro astrology, and maybe some of like the team's astrology, the stories, but even I have been watching some of the games, I'm excited to talk about, like you know, Cape Verde with you, and but like I will, I'm literally getting the oracle messages, very Gemini. Like, I'll be watching a game, and it was had like a big sign in the back, and it's like, "Keep your joy in the game, and it's like an ad, but I'm like, "No, but
Tasha Beg:it's a spell. I'm
Madi Murphy:like, "The spell. I mean, everyone,
Tasha Beg:you think about the Shakira song "Die Die" right? She's like, "Energy is contagious, right? I'm like,"Girl, girl's a witch, girl.
Madi Murphy:She's like, I have the literal whole world captive. I'm gonna weave some spells.
Tasha Beg:Shakira, Shakira, she's got like a 29 Cancer Moon, I think, too. So she's got like, she's like Mother,
Madi Murphy:she's Mother, she's Mother, she is matriarchy. She's like, I am my hips, they do not lie. No, they don't. Like, I'm not gonna tell you everything the truth right now. I really love that. Okay, so where shall we start? Have you watched any games, or do you want to talk about like when we met, we got to chat in, like, a park bench for, like, three hours over matcha about this.
Tasha Beg:So, New York, honestly, so
Madi Murphy:New York is, like, I feel like there's, like, a larger, like, macro story at play for this summer, right, with, like, Uranus and Gemini, Jupiter moving Cancer into Leo, the nodes are shifting, and do you have any, like, interesting insight or interpretations of how you see that kind of being embodied or personified through anything in the World Cup so far? Sure. So I think
Tasha Beg:on social media right now you're probably going to see a bunch of astrologers talk about the astrology of July, just in general, because this month in of itself might as well be a year. Like, it's hot, right? I'm
Madi Murphy:like,
Tasha Beg:what's interesting is Jupiter's moving into Leo and Mercury stationing retrograde right as the knockout rounds are starting, so if you think this World Cup is dramatic already, wait for the knockout rounds,
Madi Murphy:we're just getting started, we're
Tasha Beg:just getting started, and so one thing that astrologers have been talking about is this phenomenon called the Barbot basket,
Madi Murphy:okay,
Tasha Beg:that's happening really like it has been happening. I just want to, like, point that out. It's not a, an ephemeral point, right? It's, it's transient, but it is peaking, you know. So, when you think about aspects peaking in astrology, there's.. it's almost like you flip that switch, and then Frankenstein comes to life, right? And then it's not to say that Frankenstein then drops dead, Frankenstein then has to, like, go do its thing. Thing, but something's coming to life, and that Barbot basket will be peaking during the World Cup finals.
Madi Murphy:If astrology isn't real,
Tasha Beg:if astrology isn't real, july 19. Yeah,
Madi Murphy:and you know, I think I did a little mini take on that, but do you want to give people like a high overview of some of what Andre Barbeau like talked about with this moment, because some of just like his points, I think, thinking about what this World Cup could mean. Yeah, for like an energetic shift, actually, I feel like hits some of the.. I always say astrology is like knowing the scenes of a movie, reading the back of the subtitle. Yeah, like, okay, Titanic, okay, we're gonna hit iceberg, cool. And then you're watching it, you're like, there's Irish jigging, and there's a kid that there's sex in a car. Like, I didn't know all that was gonna happen. I thought, like, I knew we're gonna get the iceberg. You're literally an advertising astrologer. I'm like, I knew those scenes were gonna happen, but, like, I didn't know how wild that was gonna be to live through it. So, totally, what are some of the, like, you know, scenes of people that stand out from this Barbos basket,
Tasha Beg:sure. So, Andre Barbeau was a French mundane astrologer, and if you don't know what mundane means, it's really looking at world events and applying astrology through that lens. And he had said a long time ago he has passed on now, but the Barbot basket would effectively be this positive turning point for humanity. Okay, and it's going to be happening in July, and he predicted this a long time ago. This is a man who predicted COVID way before COVID was even like a conscious thought in anyone's mind. I think he also predicted, like, the fall of, like, you know, the Soviet, not the Soviet Union, but maybe, like, the Slavic states breaking up or something. I think
Madi Murphy:the Soviet, or maybe the Berlin Wall class, but something about the Soviet Union, correct, with the Mars, Saturn of it all. Yeah, and sesame financial crisis. Yeah, so recent receipts,
Tasha Beg:he's he's on his game. Okay, he's celebrated for a reason. But basically, like, there's this idea of the cradle of civilization being born again, right? It's the idea that all these outer planets - we've got major shifts these last couple of years - they're all finally settling into their roles, right? They're all kind of like been marinating, and we've already been marinating in this energy for these last couple of years, but now in July it really is the turning point, and again, just because it's a turning point doesn't necessarily mean that everything just all of a sudden becomes good again.
Madi Murphy:Yeah, it's not a switch that flips, and we're never had pain or strife or violence, or it's like, but it is a shift, and I do think, I, you know, like, you read this stuff out a year, two years, five, I mean, something like 2026 2027 I've been looking at for years, but you are kind of like, how is that gonna feel? I will say, New York City, right now we're recording this the day after we got the Mamdani hat trick of like the full like socialism takeover, New York City. We're riding the high from the Knicks. Every place is popping with the World Cup, and I'm like, okay, like there's something percolating, something percolating that feels bigger than just a happy moment in time.
Tasha Beg:Yes. No, absolutely. And again, like we are in a Pluto Aquarius era, right? Like, at the end of the day, we always have to understand we are in revolutionary times. Like, I was in the subway yesterday, and some guy was like, "Do you believe in the revolution is coming? I'm like, "The revolution is already here, bud.
Madi Murphy:Like, you're a little late, but that's cute. I'm glad you're
Tasha Beg:in the subway talking about this, but
Madi Murphy:I'm like, "Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay. So, anyway,
Tasha Beg:I mean, but here's the thing, right? Last year, Mamdani got elected, or he won the Democratic primary at the Jupiter Cazimi in Cancer, right? So, when you think about people shit talking Cancer all year long, Jupiter in Cancer, I just want to say it's been seeding, it's like the
Madi Murphy:mama is, she's birthing a new world. Okay, and like a mom, sometimes we're like, don't get annoyed with her, but also, like, look what she's done, coming from a Cancer Sun, Cancer Rising. Keep her name out of your mouth,
Tasha Beg:literally. And so, like, to think that one year, as Jupiter is about to leave.
Madi Murphy:Ooh, high five, I love that.
Tasha Beg:Right, we get the DSA, yeah, in office,
Madi Murphy:yeah, which
Tasha Beg:is incredible, and I was actually waiting to see, like, what the results were gonna be like, because people were saying voter early turnout was low, yeah, younger
Madi Murphy:votes were low, right? Come on, guys, we gotta do it again, and I was getting, I was like, oh, I'm nervous, but not, but you know,
Tasha Beg:you never know, you never know, and so it's such a powerful moment, right? And so you see it in politics on a micro level, right? Again, no comment on, like, the big dog. What's happening up there is Gemini, correct?
Madi Murphy:We're changing shit at the city, the local level, which
Tasha Beg:is, and cancer too. Really important, all about local environment,
Madi Murphy:local. Okay, know thy
Tasha Beg:neighbor, love thy neighbor, protect thy neighbor.
Madi Murphy:That honey, you hear that? That's the medicine right now.
Tasha Beg:Now, so what's interesting is, so yesterday England and Ghana played, okay, and Thierry Henry, who, for folks who don't know, legendary football player for France, he was in Arsenal, he was in Barcelona, so now he does like the commentary for the World Cup with Alexey Lalaz and Zlatan Ibrahimovic, and he was saying don't underestimate the Ghana England match, and Alexi was like, oh, this should be like easier, whatever, he was basically not knowing. What he was talking about, and Henri was like, you can't underestimate colonized versus colonizer. There is an intensity that comes to the surface. Yeah, and I'm like, okay, Terry, you went there,
Madi Murphy:and you were saying this, like, a few weeks ago, like we were talking about this, and I love that, that was said on, again, the broadcast,
Tasha Beg:exactly.
Madi Murphy:People are hearing that, who maybe never use those words beyond their ninth grade history class,
Tasha Beg:if they remember that, if they even
Madi Murphy:learned it. I just
Tasha Beg:have to say, it's so funny, because I was born in Malaysia, right, and I was raised Muslim, and so as a kid, you know, you kind of got indoctrinated with like what was happening in the world, and so when I came to the states and everyone had no idea what was happening in Palestine, I was like, wait, are we, what are we like on the same universe, are we on the same planet? Like, I see it in the history books, I remember reading about this in the history books in America, like,
Madi Murphy:oh yeah, that was that insane, our history books, that's insane, and not even, I mean, you know, hell, we all know, right, right, right, but like that wasn't even thing, but like, yes, like going back to like, like, I'd like to learn how we learn about colonizer, colony was like
Tasha Beg:totally British
Madi Murphy:colonies, colon, and it wasn't even a bad, it didn't even have a bad connotation in our history books, no, so that's why to have that man say that in front of like
Tasha Beg:everyone, the
Madi Murphy:whole world,
Tasha Beg:incredible,
Madi Murphy:incredible,
Tasha Beg:and I mean that's why like I think people are just really tuned into this World Cup, because the underdog story, this World Cup, is also incredibly fascinating, you know. As you pointed out earlier, we have Cabo Verde, and they're actually, I think, in like, what, their 50, their current return, their independence return, you know, so it's like 50-ish years since they broke free from the Portuguese rule, and they're having a phenomenal showing at this World Cup, right? They've tied Spain, they've tied Uruguay, they've - they both have won the world, insane. If you're looking for a country to root for in the World Cup, and you're like, "I'm a girly, I want to like throw my sports fans on.
Madi Murphy:Yes,
Tasha Beg:come over a day,
Madi Murphy:and I love that. As you're gonna talk a lot more about, like, the players in the chart, like every player name you have, I feel like listening to you, some people listen to me talk about astrology, and I've always felt like astrology for girls, like my husband is a big, he played college football, he loves sports, and he always said he's like, I feel like listening to you, and like my best friend Colin talk about astrology, is how you must feel hearing me go deep into like stats and last names, because you're like, who, Thierry, who, like I'm like, okay, I'm like, yes, uh huh. So you're gonna handle that. Always come back to like the energetic,
Tasha Beg:totally. If you want to
Madi Murphy:cast a spell this summer, I would say get yourself a cool jersey like that, or like see what happens. There is an energy to work with this summer that feels so potent, and like I don't have the best words for it, but my Pisces moon knows like the ritual at hand. I'm like, no, no, even if you don't know anything about anything, watch their next game. Yes, get figure out one of the players and watch a clip, it will do something to the energetic field, like, oh, absolutely, you are going to like it, like, and it feels really good. Okay, so back, actually, can I put the cancer of them, a little.
Tasha Beg:Oh my god, of course. I mean, so here's the thing. If you kind of are also trying to, like, not to say, like, get your sports betting on, right, but realistically, every country has, like, a natal chart as well, and so not just people, like places, moments in time, everything you can pull a chart for. So every country has a natal chart, and I don't have the time necessarily for Capa Verde, but they apparently, their birthday, their independence day is july 5, 1975 not too dissimilar from the United States.
Madi Murphy:Oh, and the Mars Uranus, which we're gonna talk about too, but absolutely. Oh, that's
Tasha Beg:true, right? So, here's the thing, I'm like pretty confident saying, obviously, Kabul, Burday will be making the knockout rounds, you know, and they're playing Saudi Arabia next. Okay, so no shade to Saudi Arabia, but momentum seemingly on their side, right. And what I think is so fascinating is the Marsy round is also going to be around july 4, around the knockout rounds will be on Cabo Verde South Node. When you think about truly past emancipation, right, because emancipation does immediately. It's the same thing with the purple basket, right? It's the idea that, yes, there was a turning point. Yes, they got independent. Now you're thinking about we're establishing ourselves proper,
Madi Murphy:right? It's like clearing, almost like the psychic cobwebs and dust and all the stuff that takes, like, for us to.. it's one thing to be emancipated on paper and to be emancipated in the mind, the heart, and the soul. Absolutely.
Tasha Beg:Oh, absolutely. I mean, it's what I was saying earlier, even like at a very micro level, right? Like, I'd internalize all these social classifications of my identity, what I was expected of me, my role in society, that it then affected the things I would do, my mindset, my choices as a function of that, and so you can imagine that extrapolated to a whole country,
Madi Murphy:oh yeah, colonized, and a country, and then the culture and the things we repeat over and over again in the culture and these stories and just becomes this like, well, it's my favorite word, it's like an eager gore, it's this like energetic body that has its own life force and it's taken as a truth, even if it's like not necessarily, but then to unwind that and do that and this, and like, you know, I'm, I love my nodes, I'm like a karma. A girly, like some people are like, dude, do not like, no, no, I believe in like the accumulation of, yeah, this like this energy that we're clearing, and so for that to hit that, that feels like
Tasha Beg:powerful,
Madi Murphy:that feels like a shot, like a we're getting up and go, oh
Tasha Beg:absolutely, okay, I mean it's interesting, right, you then can kind of extrapolate as well, because the United States, as the july 4 birthday, the US is more than likely going to do pretty well this World Cup, right? It's historically never been the United States' jam, like as a country, right? Unless you're watching women's soccer, women's soccer, we're all about, we dominate, right? But for men's soccer, that's always kind of been a big sore pain point, you know, and I feel like that's so emblematic of the Chiron and Aries wound as well. We just came out of, which
Madi Murphy:my husband loves his son, played soccer in college, and he loves soccer. He lived in London, so he got very into this, and he was like, "I never understand why Americans like make it a personality trait that they don't like soccer, like it's like the only sport that I would like. It's like,"Oh, I don't watch it. It's like, oh, soccer. Oh, it's so boring. And I swear it's the insecurity, because we're not dominant in it.
Tasha Beg:Yeah,
Madi Murphy:so we have to watch the world be better than us at something. So we're like, ew, some people are the wrong people, but like, and I think this is very interesting, like talking about the Chiron areas of adults. Yeah,
Tasha Beg:absolutely. I mean, I think it's gonna heal something. Just the fact that if the United States culturally or societally were to be receptive, it feels
Madi Murphy:like the receptivity, which is what we're, which is my favorite, I think, macro, macro, macro story of this is the receptivity of the actual land of the United States receiving in all of their Cancerian Gemini neighborhoods and cities, these people from all over the world, like the Tartan
Tasha Beg:Army,
Madi Murphy:Tartan Army drink in Boston Drive. So
Tasha Beg:proud of them, so proud of them. The
Madi Murphy:Algerian team in Kansas, Kansas. Do
Tasha Beg:you see the video of that old man that was like he's
Madi Murphy:tearing up because they're from Lauren Skin, and no one chooses us, and the other trains like we do. And then what that did, the healing, and then like playing, and then you see all these videos you have like Scott's been tartans dancing with like Haitians, and you're like, oh, and I love these memes. I mean, like, it feels like we're at a sleepover of cousins who's like the aunts and uncles hate each other, and we're like, wait, no, they're grown-ups are weird, we like each other.
Tasha Beg:Yes, we're reminded of our humanity, and I just want to also say, of course, like everything in life, right, it's nuanced. The World Cup is not perfect, there are.. it's.. it's illuminating, also the problems, right? We've got teams like, I think it was Egypt, they could not get a visa in or something to go to their match in Spokane or Seattle, I forget, but like there were complications in lots of visa issues, correct? Moroccan fans can't make the stadium, Senegalese fans couldn't make the stadium. I mean, it was kind of really beautiful to see the Senegal and Norway, like the Norwegian fans teach the Senegalese how to row, right?
Madi Murphy:I know, amazing. Well, it's showing everything, and it's also showing some people, just, you know, like a thing. I hear a lot, as someone who's chose to talk about not just politics, but, you know, human rights, and all these things we're talking about, like colonizer versus colonizer, all these systemic issues. Like, I've always chose to bring that forefront into my work, because I don't know, I was raised that way. I just.. it's maybe isn't Libra. I can't.. I just never understand. And people, obviously, I've had people like,"I'm on following you. Here we have one space, you know, about politics. What does that do to the thing? What do you know about that? And I'm like, everything is political, everything. And I think this on a world stage is showing us all the different angles that maybe we didn't see whether the people who some people think all Americans are awful, like, which is fine, because that's how we're being broadcast out. I get it, but then seeing the warmth of the Lawrence, Kansas, or something, being like, who cares, immigrants can't come in the country, and then they're seeing a story of like a mother weep because she can't be there to watch her son play, and that's a storytelling, right? Like, oh no, that really sucks, or like, and we're feeling things, we're seeing these things that maybe people glazed over, and the headlines, or just thought didn't affect me, or just thought they had the story done and dusted in their mind, and it's like very Gemini, it's like turning it a little bit, turning it on its head, like, and bringing it a little bit closer into, like, I feel a big, like, piercing of, like, a numbness happening right now.
Tasha Beg:Oh, absolutely. I mean, we were embalmed, right? Basically, and I guess, pun intended, I'm Scorpio rising, so I've got dark humor, right? You can
Madi Murphy:embalm in reference, yeah?
Tasha Beg:Like, but when you know, when after COVID, all of us were frozen, no, because we were either in.. oh my god, what's gonna happen with the world? We're like stuck in time, we're stuck in our homes, we kind of exacerbate the loneliness epidemic, right? Across both, I'm not just saying this is a men thing. I think everyone is, you know, trying to find community, right? That's why local events and hangs, like people are in desperate need of that. Third spaces, and that's what the World Cup is inherently also offering in that way, right? Like watch parties, like I'm meeting people on the street, you know what, I'm into a block. Party the other day, and I ran into these Brazilians, and they're like, "You should come watch the Brazilian game with us in Little Brazil in Astoria. I'm like, "Great, let's go. There I am with a whole bunch of Brazilians, and I'm like, "This is amazing,
Madi Murphy:just magic.
Tasha Beg:Yeah, we're so lucky to live in New York City, truly, but if you are not even in New York City, right, you are still experiencing this energy. Even social media has been, so I mean, yes, negative stuff, but there's been no, there's whelming, there's
Madi Murphy:an overwhelm. I feel like the algorithm is being taken over, like, yes, I'm like, oh, and it's almost like I think it's very.. it says a lot, and you know things might shift as Jupiter moves into Leo, things get dramatic, who knows, but for right now, the Jupiter and Cancer part of this, I am surprised. If there's one thing social media does, is it'll take something and make a bad event, like an exacerbate and make it worse and dramatic. And my, at least my algorithm is just story after story of unity, heartwarming community connection, joy, like, and people being like saying, like, I didn't expect to feel this way, like I didn't go into this thinking this, and I think that there is something really cool happening, and as someone who does do things very like always thinking about the spiritual energetic, I'm just so happy that this is happening. Like, they said the US didn't deserve the World Cup, maybe, but like we really needed it. Like, I feel like the actual, like, land
Tasha Beg:needed it,
Madi Murphy:needed it, like the land needed some joy, some sprinkling of like,
Tasha Beg:oh
Madi Murphy:right, like we can feel this way again.
Tasha Beg:Yeah, I mean, I think there's also something to be said about you can have struggle, or I don't know, you have to have joy with your struggle, right? And like that's something I think that's going to be also really important if you identify as like an activist or someone who's, you know, really in these spaces, right? Like, do you have the capacity to hold both the joy and the struggle? You know, because that's really what Jupiter and Leo and the North Node in Aquarius, they're gonna ask that of us. It's not just the fun, and so that's why it was also kind of a hold my breath moment, right? Because how was it gonna translate to actual politics? How is this gonna.. this joy.. how can we capture it, this effervescence, this excitement for a better future, for a more unified sense of humanity and compassionate sense of humanity. How does that translate to actual action, politics, right? And getting things done for the community,
Madi Murphy:policy and change. And I think you know, just because I always like to be, I'm I have a Sag Stallion, I'm an eternal optimist, but I also, you know, ever go under New York, born and raised in New York, so I keep my feet on the ground, and I do think that this moment we're feeling, I keep saying these next few years is going to be like few steps forward, few steps back, and you know, I was saying to be in this year when you tap into Sacred Party Girl energy, and I appreciate all of my sister, and a lot of people have been coming up to me, me like, when you were saying that in January, we thought you were full of shit, because I'm like, yes, Epstein, like Aish, and I'm like, guys, like, I swear, and it's not that it's like gonna come easy, but it's like the thing that we need to cultivate, because to me, like, party girl energy, as like an elder millennial, is like, you go out, you connect, you get a little messy, you meet people, you don't worry about being cringe, you look in the eye, you go out, you have experiences, like, you get off of, like, this thing is meant to be a tool, not like a place we live, and that's what kind of happened over us, especially the past six years. And so, of course, everything's like flattened, and like algorithms are telling us who to be and what not to be, and it's like, no, go out and be. So this is sacred partial energy to tap into, and it's very important, but it's also like we're charging up like a solar panel, because we have a lot of rockiness ahead, like, oh, absolutely, we're not, we all know, right? Like,
Tasha Beg:yes,
Madi Murphy:and there's almost like that's why the joy is so important, and we're getting a taste of, like, no, this is what it feels like, you can feel it again, and look how buoyant, like, look how resilient it makes you, and also it can, like, like these again, which has happened in New York City, like, there is some change happening? It is possible, but it's this system of toxic oppression didn't get built in one day, and it's not going to be taken down in a day. So, like, this feels like this summer I'm really enjoying the scale at which we're witnessing this. Look, it's almost undeniable, like how COVID was undeniable, like no one denied that the world stopped during Covid. No one denied that that was a huge breaking off point of like a timeline. Yeah, and now I can see people being like everyone I'm talking to, Uber drivers, Mustafa, my coffee cart guy, my diehard Knicks fan, my uncle. Everyone's like, I get what you're like, yeah, yeah, yeah, like I'm picking up on what you're saying about this, like, this is the joyful reimagining for the revolution. I'm like, thank you, it's sipping in. So, with that being said, is there anything that you feel coming up? Because we had some interesting talks, like, do you see anything like the Mars Uranus coming out? Wouldn't want to talk about that a little bit, or anything like this next, like, as we enter
Tasha Beg:this chaotic month, like the year, oh my god, the most like it's not even a hyperbole to say this will be the most chaotic month of the year. Yeah,
Madi Murphy:like market, like, like stamp it.
Tasha Beg:I know every other week you're probably like an astrologer says this is the breakthrough, or this is the moment. I'm like, no guys, but like July for real, for real, July for real,
Madi Murphy:for real, because there's a few things, like again, when. Bo has said something. One of my first teachers told me about Barbot prediction for 2020 and at that point I was just studying more collective astrology, and I was like, 'Listen, you astrologers, every week is like world changing event paradigm portal. I tuned out, I was like,'Nothing's gonna get the world's attention in that the Capricorn convergence, yeah, right. And then it was like march 20, 2020 I like called up my teacher. I was like, so, so you were saying, repeat that back to me one more time. I'll pay attention this time. I mean, because it is hard
Tasha Beg:to hold on to a long-term prediction, right? Because, again, as you said, you're navigating so many plot twists and complications, and you're like, is this going to work the way I think it's going to work? But it is working. It is working, and, like, I even say from the perspective of someone again who moved to this country where no one was talking about Palestine, literally like 15 years ago, and now everyone all of a sudden, I mean,
Madi Murphy:this morning you had out your door,
Tasha Beg:Williamsburg, Brooklyn, in my neighborhood, coffee protests, like get out of town, you know, so I feel like consciousness is just as important as well, right? Actions very important, but for a lot of people, consciousness needs to get there, and if you are conscious, then that also changes action, and then even if you're not taking an explicit action, the consciousness will carry forth in your family, you know what I mean? Like,
Madi Murphy:well, that's what we talk about happening right now. The collective conscious is shifting, and so it can feel overwhelming, like, what can I do? I can't go and, like, rip, you know, burn it all down, burn everyone's Epstein files. Yeah, but, like, it's like, yeah, okay, yeah, is my key word there. We need some time, but, like, this, like, actually awareness, and then just moving. I always say, like, who is like my favorite question. Ask my clients, like, where do you hold a little Epstein class within you? Where are you a little overly cool? There's a
Tasha Beg:Scorpio right there.
Madi Murphy:Where do you assume entitlement or ownership over something that's not yours, or where are you not honoring the sacredness of life? Because this is the consciousness shift, and it actually is really empowering to be like, yeah, maybe I can't go and, you know, stop what's happening. You know, I can't go into every ice attention center and like burn it down yet, but like I flag this the government. Okay, I dare you. I would love that. Okay, yeah, okay, I get to walk through life very republican coded looking, so I can just do the most outlandish, that is
Tasha Beg:how it's gonna go. Whenever I used to like go protest and stuff, I'd be like, no, this is what I wear
Madi Murphy:to protest. I would love, I would love to just be on the news.
Tasha Beg:Yeah,
Madi Murphy:arrest me.
Tasha Beg:Absolutely, mother of two blondes, like it'd be perfect. Like, please, like,
Madi Murphy:no, I'm like, arrest me, Daddy, please, like, rough me up a little bit to the front women, that is our sacred role at this time, that is some sacred party girl shit right
Tasha Beg:there. All right, let us bring the party to the front of the conga line, and let us put ourselves. I was
Madi Murphy:handing out bedazzled ice whistles to my family, this I was like, listen, ready to go, but truly, like, this feeling of, like, again, like, the shifts are happening, the consciousness, but just having that awareness is empowering, because then we're like, okay, maybe we can't go into these big macro things, or maybe we can, or we're slowly going to it, but you said that consciousness shift, it's a ripple effect out, it's a ripple effect in our community, in our being, in our family, and in the larger, like collective, like hive mind.
Tasha Beg:Yeah,
Madi Murphy:right.
Tasha Beg:Oh, absolutely. And that's like something I also want to say. It could be a delineation of the Mars Uranus in Gemini, right? Like, I get it, I get it. Mars Uranus together.
Madi Murphy:Let's talk about that for a second. People don't know
Tasha Beg:what would you.. how would you describe the Mars Uranus conjunction?
Madi Murphy:So, okay, well, let's talk about Uranus and Gemini. I've not sugar coated, not pussyfooted in the past few years. Whenever Uranus is in Gemini, as a nation, we're in war times, right? And, but I think of it after Uranus and Taurus is very like fascist coded, it's very totality, it's just like consolidating power, it's having people fear Taurus things, security, finances, money, my land, which makes us scarce, scarce, and go into that like mindset they want us in. So I actually feel like you're in Gemini. It is divisive, it's war, it's propaganda, but I actually feel like it's.. I always think of Gemini in the best sense is like I always say it's Alka Seltzer. It like breaks up like what has been calcified, and it's like effervescent bubbles of new thought and conversation and curiosity. Well, I mean, Pluto and Aquarius, Uranus and Gemini,
Tasha Beg:that try
Madi Murphy:active effervescence. Yeah, and it's like, so it's chaotic, so it's like, okay, we're not gonna sugarcoat it. Us in Gemini brings war, and then Mars, hello, God of War, planet in Gemini, and Mars in Gemini, is that our signature? What's our. yes, it's the Uranus,
Tasha Beg:we're return, and the Mars turns,
Madi Murphy:and the Mars return of our nation. And I have clocked, like, Gemini transits hit us hard, like the North Node was in Gemini for the Twin Towers, like, like Gemini stuff. It affects us on our home turf. I think this is gonna play out, like, I don't know, I don't like make. Our best predictions, it doesn't feel like an attack in that other kind of way, but yeah, maybe like a cyber attack, or the grid goes down, probably by our own government. Like, I could see, I just want.. I just like to say this not to incite fear, but like I was coding the nervous system, like, yeah. How do we get ready for.. and I'll tell you, for me, I don't want to be in a big parade or a big crowd,
Tasha Beg:definitely
Madi Murphy:the fourth of July.
Tasha Beg:Definitely don't find yourself right next to the fireworks. Fourth of July is all I'm gonna say, like not that you would ever want to, but like
Madi Murphy:definitely not this year. But I
Tasha Beg:will say, after the Knicks, oh my god, on my block the fireworks are popping off. They were literally shining into the building. If this were on the fourth of July, this building was gonna go down like there is no chance in hell, and then it'll be a mixed celebration, and like it'd be kind of crazy, but yes, it is Mars Uranus together. You think of accidents, right? You think of explosions, you think of plane crashes, like again, not saying all these things will definitively happen, because what I think is also maybe interesting to consider is to me Mars positive side of Mars, you're honest, Gemini breakthrough in consciousness,
Madi Murphy:like a, like a crack open,
Tasha Beg:correct. Yeah, almost as if, like, if you're tuning into the knockout round for the World Cup, because it's also happening. And here's the thing, Gemini, there's a lot about movement of people, right? So it's also interesting why there's a lot about immigration and people coming in and out, and access who gets to come in, and you think, okay, the World Cup is a very heavy spectator type of event, so it makes sense that Mars Uranus Gemini for the United States would represent the fact that the United States is hosting an event that would invite a lot of this type of travel, just as a pure delineation, and then not only that, you now have very interesting games potentially getting lined up for the knockout round, so you have this is a very light one, potentially Argentina, Uruguay, which they have a longstanding sibling rivalry type of history, which is very Gemini, Gemini siblings. Okay, so this will be a big moment for the fans. I think they might be playing that in LA, but then you think about, you know, ice escalations and things like that as well, right? So that's one story that I'm kind of like, oh, this could be interesting. Mars, Iran is Gemini, also about like the maybe leaks in California, like there's been chemical leaks coming up that we've heard about. Again, it's not like it's come out of nowhere, but these are things that we've heard. But then there's also the idea of symbolic warfare on the battlefield, because Iran's in the World Cup at the United States, like there is a potential, like Iran in the United States, I think, could meet up in the knockout rounds, right? Like, so the idea of a hypothetical war playing out on the battlefield, that also feels very Mars Uranus, Gemini, on top of that, right? So I don't want to just limit this idea of a terrible attack, even though I did in my fear-driven state, it thought, okay, the World Cup would be prime for something like that, but at the same time, I'm like, but wait a minute, How many times have we thought Trump was gonna, like, you know, pass off, right? Like, or how many times has a collective, like, tapped into, like, oh my god, he's dead, he's dead, and like, nothing's happened, right? Like, I kind of just feel like there maybe could be some energy
Madi Murphy:around that as well, not saying that nothing bad is going to happen, but there is more than just the one event, it's more than one event, right? It's, it's many, and what I love about this, and everyone listening, and why I have dedicated my life to talking about collective astrology, in addition to the like empowering the individual, is because I look at astrology as like a prayer in motion, like, okay, we understand the energy that we're frequency that we're playing with. If we all attune ourselves like a tuning fork to, like, what if we carry the higher consciousness of that in our actions? In this, there's never been a time where this many people on the planet have known about astrology, and that we can actually do something with it, and it's like casting, like spell work, both the planets, like planetary magic, so it's like, okay, all that it can be lower, but what if we were like, yeah, no, that is going to be a big breakthrough, that's going to be a breakthrough of I think one of the things that Trump has done in his Gemini, unfortunate, it's a genius, like, of his is chaos magic, a my hypnotism, his egregore, I always talk about, like, he cast many spells of like the worst parts of our lower mind, like the Gemini higher mind, lower mind, and I'm like, this could be like a, I love that vision of like a blowing out of something, like, oh wait, what, like, and another big waking up, because some of my people have waking up since, you know, 20 back to 2012 was a big shift, 2020 but there's these things, like, even the past year or two, like you said, the conversations around Israel and Palestine that I never had growing up, and now they're like common in the common like conversation, they're like,
Tasha Beg:what do you do, do you support Palestine, something like,
Madi Murphy:and yeah, so it's like, so like this is like the next version of that, but again, like the Titanic scenes, I see the plot point, but oh my god, I know I'm gonna be like, did not see that coming specifically, like they had
Tasha Beg:fun while the trip was going down, that's the thing, read
Madi Murphy:the thing, crash into iceberg, but you're like, okay, there's something, okay, we got some new torch shirts in there, okay, but you know
Tasha Beg:what's important, because Rose survived, okay, so it's the matriarchy, the matriarch.
Madi Murphy:Iraqi preserve the
Tasha Beg:memory, you know
Madi Murphy:what,
Tasha Beg:and you know what, what's so funny about that? What she said, it's been 80 years, right? Uranus return
Madi Murphy:now we're faster nerding out, but like Titanic does do some things, and the North Node is still in Pisces, so we have to have some Titanic references, but that is like the stories, the stories, the stories of nothing's ever good or bad, but like, what we choose to see and what we choose to like embody and carry forward is always my favorite, most empowering part of astrology.
Tasha Beg:Oh, absolutely. And I think it's interesting that the nodes moved into Virgo and Pisces in Jan of 2025 and that was also when we had the Mars retrograde in Cancer and Leo, right? And so when you think about again this past year, the theme really has been getting ready for birth. Okay, more ways than one, because it's been fertile AF, and there have been many women who are pregnant, and there will continue to be very many women who are pregnant over the Jupiter Neo year. But when you think about it, right, the idea of, okay, we're moving towards Pisces, we're moving towards more empathy, more compassion, we're holding on to the vision, we might not get all the steps right, but with the Mars retrograde, how that coincided there is a sense of a course correction,
Madi Murphy:a course correction
Tasha Beg:that we're having to come from within. We have to tap into maybe even that internal matriarchal sensibility,
Madi Murphy:100% and it's like, how do I literally tune into that in my everyday life,
Tasha Beg:as not a men or women thing? It's matriarchal, this is feminine, this is.. we all have it within us. Like, Mom Donnie is an excellent, I think, embodiment of that. He names
Madi Murphy:Mom Donnie for a reason.
Tasha Beg:I never thought about that. That was so good. I mean, I love his mom, yeah, and his mom too, right?
Madi Murphy:Like, right, because he's a great.. he was a big, because you know, as someone who's been like, for years, like, you know, feminine energy, and then realizing, even for years ago, my guides were like, don't, it's not just women, everyone's involved, because I also work with a lot of, like, you know, gay men, a lot of trans people, so I was like, okay, it's like me and the girls, gays and days, and they were like, who else? Maddie, and I was like,
Tasha Beg:I love that your guys are so sassy, you're so
Madi Murphy:sassy. And then, of course, I give birth to not one, but two boys, Irish twins with my North Node in Gemini. We love that. So I'm like, so now that's why. Also, like, back to the sports, I'm like, I understand everything coming back to my consciousness. I'm like, okay, yes, the men are coming, but like matriarchal men, and so around Mamdani has been this, I've seen it in my.. I've been blessed to be raised by beautiful, beautiful men who like are in like devout worship to women and children and the most vulnerable, and like I love it, but I've never seen it like I think in this embodiment on like a bigger stage, where I was like, oh, this is possible, this is possible. It's
Tasha Beg:almost like you don't know what a good thing is, or like what you've like wanted for, you know what I mean, like what you've been waiting for. When the moment it like pops up in front of you, you're like, wait, is this it? Is this what this could look like, and what could be like? And he
Madi Murphy:just keeps like delivering. My sister said he's the politician version of, if he wanted to, he would, and I just can't unthink it. I'm like, he's like, no, I said I'm gonna do this, and I'm gonna do, and I'm gonna like have my millennial humor in the process, and like, and we had the joy, he was the first actual, he was the first, because I've always thought, like, secret party girl, something I appreciate, but you know, I'm not gonna lie, my God wobbly with it, like, you know, it's like 2020 obviously, there's no, like, I lost my mom. I was a little bit like, or like, what does that even mean anymore, like, to me? Like, and then watching Mom Donnie, and then going out last summer, I was trying to burn off some like postpartum steam. I was like, okay, I'm like six months postpartum, and I went out, everyone's on their phone, and everyone was like, like, very numb, and I was like, oh, we need like party girl energy back, like we need this back, but his campaign was so joyful,
Tasha Beg:it was incredible,
Madi Murphy:and it was authentic way, not performative at all.
Tasha Beg:No, absolutely not. And that's, I think, going to be a very important theme. Lol, will pre-shadow for preview for Jupiter, Leo South Node in Leo, right? Because Mamdani is also a Leo rising, yeah, and so if you think you've seen Mamdani now, like, just wait, there's gonna be like he's gonna really step up and take even more room, right?
Madi Murphy:Him coming in, and then the Knicks, and now this. I'm like, he's just getting started, like that's just like,
Tasha Beg:you know what, I love that Yuki is really the embodiment of walk and chew gum, right? We can be progressive, and we can also have fun, and we can drop in hip hop lines in our speech, and
Madi Murphy:inviting people to the party, correct? You're making it look fun, correct? Because for so long, I will, myself included, like we get a little like preachy, a little whiny, we're a little like you said the wrong thing, and like
Tasha Beg:we're still on that, but
Madi Murphy:like he's showing us of like look how fun it is to be a little socialist and care about people, and then, like, that's what, like, it's cool to care,
Tasha Beg:guys.
Madi Murphy:It's cool. It's like, literally cool to care. Like, New York City, right now, is like everyone wants this energy, right now. And we're like, yeah, but also, like, if you come here, like, you have to care about people.
Tasha Beg:Yes. Oh, absolutely. Absolutely. I mean, it's so funny, like, obviously, recently there's been such a conversation about, like, who's a New Yorker and who's not a New Yorker, you know. And and admittedly, like, I've gotten initially I was like very defensive, I'm like, well, I've lived here for over 1013, years, you know, like I should be considered New Yorker, and then I'm like, you know what, I'm okay with honorary New Yorker status, like I don't need to feel like I'm of a birthright here, you know, like I'm not really trying to get into those terms, I just want to feel like I'm accepted somewhere, you know, and this is my home, and I want to, and I want to care about, and I care about, I do care, you do,
Madi Murphy:you deeply do
Tasha Beg:it's really interesting, like all of these emotions coming up, I think people are trying to heal their sense of belonging, feel their sense of, you know, like, can you join the party or not, because a lot of us have heard nos so many times in our life, so
Madi Murphy:many times, and that's what something about this summer is like, peeling back to, like, the New York that I love, that is, like, it's inclusive, it's welcoming, you know, it's not just like, if you can make it here, you can make it anywhere, but it's like, you can be anyone you want to be here, yeah, right, and, like, you can also be accepted for that and celebrated, but, like, you will, you're up against every part of humanity, rubbing shoulder to shoulder, literally and metaphorically, and what that does is, like, you're actually like, you can be alone, but you're never alone. And I've always had, you know, as someone who was like from New York area, it was like in the area for 911 honestly. Something I, as someone who schleps to the city, like, pregnant, and carrying my old, like, juice deliveries, I've always felt the most like support, and people stopping me in the streets to ask for help. I need help. I feel like safer industries in New York City than probably anywhere, and so I've always liked them. That's when I see, I see how it gets. We can lose our path a little bit sometimes, like all the artists and the people who make it great, and people who run New York City, the behind the scenes, the servers, and all the unseen labor, like they're getting priced out of New York. So that's why I'm like, I think New York was like, no, to keep this vibration, like, we do need a shift, yeah, because there's something very potent about the vibration of New York City, and what it does for our nation, and it almost helps me understand, like, the divine order of the universe a little bit, of like, you know, we can't keep going down just that path,
Tasha Beg:no, New York is incredibly important as part of this process, like, I know this is a worldwide phenomenon, like, you know, we see uprisings in Europe, right? And protests, the Albanian, the
Madi Murphy:Albanian protest, amazing. Like, if we're
Tasha Beg:too big, we're too big to organize. Like, that's what
Madi Murphy:I keep thinking. Like, I was like, why are we doing it? Like, we actually are doing it, but there's something we are. If you look on a map, you guys have either been to Montana. I went to Montana one time, and I was like, we're in the same country, I mean, if you're watching
Tasha Beg:Love Island, no one knows where New Hampshire is, you know, like, so, like, we're huge,
Madi Murphy:we're geographically too
Tasha Beg:big, we're too bloated as a country, we're
Madi Murphy:bloated,
Tasha Beg:we cannot keep track of everything, but again, like, things are happening, as you point out, and you got to do your part, everything is very localized, right, you can't just say like one one city is taking it all, but again, I will say New York is a little bit of a main character, okay? And she's always been main character country, you know, but New York is also triple cardinal, right, Capricorn sun,
Madi Murphy:we're leading the, we're leading,
Tasha Beg:we are leading Libra rising, Aries moon, and they've got a South Node in Cancer that is exactly on the United States stellium, right, so Jupiter is right now on the on New York South Node, so that's why you see this effervescence, this idea of, you know, there is a spell, there is some spirituality going on, there's this idea of inclusivity and celebration, but that is also powerful because it's tapping into the United States Cancerian frequency, we're layered, we're layered, we're
Madi Murphy:meant to be that here, like that's what, like, we are the Capricorn ambition finance industry, but underneath that is like the home, the belonging, the melting pot, the Lady Liberty, like litter. I think about, I have to, my new thing I'm handing out. I don't have one for you today, but I have a million dollar bill. Oh my god, Lady Liberty on it.
Tasha Beg:Yes,
Madi Murphy:and it's my matriarchal millionaire, like manifestation thing for everyone's altar, because I'm like, I saw her. It was the day that the Venus Jupiter conjunction, I got drinks on the water, and I saw her, and I was like,
Tasha Beg:she's, she's stunning. I
Madi Murphy:was like, you're gorgeous, and like, okay, yeah. And bring us back home, baby, like, bring us back home, not friends,
Tasha Beg:but just kidding.
Madi Murphy:All right, so before we wrap up, I can have people like, definitely, you know where to find you, how to work with you. Is there anything else, just like a bow you want to tie this up with, or something you get to say, or just a little download in your progressed Pisces moon that you want to share?
Tasha Beg:Yeah, you know, I think that as much as like there's so much craziness happening in the world, and we're all a part of the fabric, it also doesn't mean that, like, big things can't happen in your life. Oh, I
Madi Murphy:love that. You know, like,
Tasha Beg:I think something that's come up for a lot of my clients, you know, is the idea of holding joy for the things that they can accomplish or have accomplished while everything seems to be burning down, right? Like, you get to still celebrate your accomplishment while also participate, it's not an either or, and the moment you feel like you have to choose, I'm always going to push you and go, why do you have to choose one or the other, and so to me, yeah, be your most creative, like really tap into that unvarnished type of expression, right, because it's going to feed into other things. Things,
Madi Murphy:that's why I like the joy, because joy is creation energy, right? Like, and we need that, like buoyancy and creation, and we need to show people it's possible, like, hey, I'm sure your clients are people who are like under your tutelage and advice, being like, oh yeah, like the old ways, what you did, I don't have to let all that old trappings and old programmings keep me like stuck, and that's why I think, like, again, the liberation of the mind of the consciousness is everything. And then watching people do the things is so healing and activating for the collective. Absolutely. Oh, I love that. It's so true. I read a great quote in the beginning of the year, and it was just like that. I was like, don't forget, and even the times of war, you know, people fall in love, people have babies, people get accomplishments, and it was like a quote from the 40s, but I was like such a good anchoring point. So, thank you. And where can people find you? How can they work with you as you take consultations? Yes,
Tasha Beg:thank you. I'm known as the pop astrologist on Instagram. You'll probably see me covering a lot of World Cup astrology this summer, but I am actually offering like a little like quickie for cancer season or for basically the summer, if people haven't like worked with me before, it's like a 30 minute just little like chit chat, you know, see if you like the vibe, and so yeah, that's available on my booking link on my Instagram. I do write Substack sometimes.
Madi Murphy:Oh my god, her Substack is so good.
Tasha Beg:I'm really proud of this New York piece that I've written recently, as well as I've written about the World Cup in Barbeau, but yeah, I mean, I'm gonna be doing some events in the city as well in the fall, so Instagram's like really, I think, my main channel.
Madi Murphy:Check out the Instagram, it's so fun. It literally feels like you're hanging around the cosmic water cooler and being like, oh, like I'm gonna go see what Tasha said about this, that, and the people in the comments are so fun, and you do a great job of the fun and the silly and the red Gemini, but then you go definitely into like the Sag moon, like larger mythology and stories playing out, and this is why I am so honored to have you on. Thank you
Tasha Beg:for having me. This was so fun. Time flew by,
Madi Murphy:time flew by, I knew it would, but hope to have you back, and everyone go follow her, let us know without the episode, and let us know, maybe if she comes back on in a month, like, keep us posted on what you want us to talk about. All right. Tea, bye everyone. Tea.
