(02:38):
what that is, the ancient mystical signs of playing cards
reveals the who, what, where, when, why and how of
your life from birth to death. In cards and astrology,
we all know about the twelve zodiac science most of
us know. Please welcome the Money Making Conversation Masterclass. Aquarius Maximus.
(02:59):
How you doing?
Speaker 3 (03:01):
Hi?
Speaker 1 (03:02):
How are you good? Good? Welcome to the show. And
you're based where Aquarius?
Speaker 3 (03:07):
I'm based in Georgia, Good County.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Good. Now, this is the first just about the fourth
time you've been on my show.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
Correct querus, Yeah, about the third time.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Third time, And every time you come on, we talk
about cryptocurrency, we talk about blockchain. Now, you did a
name change. Now why did you do a name change?
Tell my audience why, and then so we can move
forward on that, because, like I said, you have to
one day wake up and be who you are, Okay.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
Florida, Yeah, absolutely, absolutely. Well, I have a big following
on social media under my astrology side as Aquarius Maximus,
so most people knew me for years as Aquarius and
then so they were more confused when they start hearing
about me as Tavannah the tech side, Tavannah Evans. So,
(03:55):
but the people that don't on the tech side, I've
been behind the scenes for a long time, so don't
really know me at you know, as either one. So
I went with Aquarius because that's me. That's that literally
who is who I am. And I feel like it
kind of empowers me to a degree. Savannah Evans is
kind of like a she's a nerd, she's very you know,
(04:17):
she's very behind the scenes, low key da da da
da da, And Aquarius Maximus is like, she's fun, she's
a boss.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
So I felt like I needed that energy in my
journeys even with Crypto, So I decided to just go
full fledged with my Aquarius Maximus. And by the way,
my mom approves because she changed her name to my
mom is an astrologer. She's well known on clubhouse.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
Wow, so this is kind of like a legacy.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
Yeah, it is.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
So, you know, I called the Aquarius before the show.
I called everybody before the show. That's it. I would
tell your Aquarius. I get up every day, I wrote
to everybody who knows me money through Friday, I get
up at four thirty am. My original home is Houston, Texas.
Or I immediately pick up my phone and I look at
the Houston Chronicle online and I go to two sections immediately.
(05:07):
I'm just telling you the truth. I go to two sections. Immediately,
I go to the comic section, and in the comic
section is the astrology. Now, I'm gonna tell you right now, Aquarius.
I don't know if I believe in astrology, but I
find myself looking up pisces every day. Is it a
lot of people out there like me, you know, in
(05:27):
denial but read and look. Yeah, tell us about tell
us about astrology in general and the importance of it
and why it consumes a lot of people with with
with making decisions.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
Well. JP Morgan once said that millionaires don't use astrology.
Billionaires too, right, So that was a key phrase that
we're always telling people in this country. Some of the
top people in the country have had their own personal
astrologers and years in years and years ago, astrology was
(06:02):
a science. It was accepted as a science. It wasn't
until like the medieval times that it became outlaw to
be totally honest, right, And you know why not? Because
what it does is it really helps you to get
in tune with the time and gain understanding of what's
going on? Why now? And itbody always wants to know
why now? Why is happening now? Astrologiers know we always
(06:25):
know why it's happening now because we know the cosmic
time versus just the time on Earth.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
Now. The interesting thing about is that like sat in
high school, I knew numerology. I was really really good
at it was my science project. I went to the
State Fair because I was really skilled at numerology. And
now when you talk about astrology, you know the number
one thing because you said, billionaires have astrologists, people who
are financial leaders have astrologists. Now, the most of the time,
(06:56):
I'm just talking about our community. Most time I hear
about astrology in the Black community is by relationships. You
price your school fio Hey.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
Absolutely, that's like my biggest most of my clients come
to me about relationship issues, most of them, so I
feel like I'm one big relationship counselor like honestly, that's
the biggest thing that people come to me about. They
want to gain an understanding of why this person is
the way they are because they can't wrap their head
(07:31):
around it, and you know, they want to get the
They want to get the skinny on is it going
to change, is it going to get better? You know
what's on in astrology and numerology and cardiology, which I
do help you to pinpoint when things are going approximate times,
but when things are going to happen, and approximate times
(07:52):
of being able to get an imagine if you go
into a year at your birthday and you're able to
get a snapshot of the whole year. That's what we do.
The wonderful thing. So I already know what my year
is gonna look like. I already know if it's gonna
be a good year for relationships, or if it's gonna
be a good year for money, or it's gonna be
a year where I need to get more spiritually in
tune with myself. I already know every year.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Now the interesting Okay, let's go down the list. Just
in case somebody out there don't know astrology. There are
twelve zodiac signs. Correct enough, Okay, uh, let me let
you're a professional, let's go through all twelve. I'm not
gonna I'm gonna sit back and listen because, like I said,
I am a novice, but I am a closet user
of astrology. You know when when I when I see
(08:36):
something that I read on in the morning, I use
it to my advantage. You know, I'm gonna use that
way you like. It's because to me, sometimes they do
read as sweeping generalizations, but sometimes they feel like there's
something I should utilize because the information being given to me.
So what are the twelve zodiac signs?
Speaker 3 (08:56):
So the twelve zodiac signs, and I'm gonna start with
number one. Aries Areas is the number one sign. Then
we have tourists, you have Gemini, and I'm not saying
number one like it's the best. That is literally the
first sign. Yea, Tourists, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius,
and Pisces. That's your sign. Pisne is actually the last sign.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Yes, okay, because a lot of people they look at
like January through December and think that's the order. But
that's not the order of the zodi.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
That's not the order. That's not the order of the zodiac,
the zodiac order. I guess you could say the zodiac
new year is in the spring. You know aries that brings,
that's in the zodiac, in the horoscopes, in the what
we call the houses. The first house in astrology is
ruled by aries.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Now let me ask you this, so let's just you know,
I haven't I will admit, you know, I have asked
ladies in my life what's their sign?
Speaker 3 (09:56):
Sign?
Speaker 1 (09:57):
What's their sign? And I'm going to admit I'm gonna
go to admit, you know, if you we all have
qualities like mind sign Pisces. I was supposed to be romantic,
a poet, you know, very good with music. That the
creative person that kind of fits who Rushan McDonald is today.
You know what I'm saying, and so and so so
I I like, like, like I said, I don't get along.
(10:18):
I'mna just tell you this is Rushan speaks. I don't
get along with Sagittarius anybody in my life that I've
ever dated. The sagittarius. We did not get along. And
I would read I would read their descriptions and I go,
that's not a person I get along with based on
you know, like I said, what what the what? What
the what it says about a person's sagittari so so
(10:40):
so some of these stuff we can like laugh at it,
we can like joke at all, but some of it
does aligne pretty accurate, correct.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
And and some people, if you paid attention. A lot
of people that you deal with will literally have the
same birthdays. And if they don't have the same birthdays,
like you don't have a tendency to deal I got
one friend, he was he was married to two different women,
both born on the same day, right, And you know
I have children. I have two of my children are
(11:08):
born on particular days that I've met a lot of
people to have the same two children born on those
two days. So but we a lot of times we
don't pay attention to those little details. We don't we know,
we will laugh it off as a coincidence, right, but
it's not. It's just like sometimes you will deal with
the same person with like you'll deal with a name
(11:30):
you'll have a lot of Shawns in your life, even
though it's differently, you'll have five different Shawns in your life.
That these are not coincidences. Those energies are related, and
they're related to you in your own script. And a
lot of people think that we're just our son's sign. See,
you think you're just a piscest. But in astrology you
(11:52):
have you have twelve signs like you literally have every
every sign. You got a moon sign, which in some
places the moon sign is stronger than your son. And
I'm a Scorpi your sun. But I'm a sag moon,
so that makes me part Sagittarius, you know. And you
so you might deal with somebody and you think that
(12:13):
they're you know, this sign, but then you don't know
their moon sign, you don't know their rising they have
other signs.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
See I'm teasing right there is where you lose me
with astrology. You know, I'm good with just knowing the sign.
When you talking about the rising moon, the sudden sun
and all that, and if you're too close over here.
They really got the Sagittarius personality, even though they say
they're born in their range for the Scorpio. But it's
all about the relationship and all about business. I'm gonna
(12:42):
ask you this question. As an astrologist, an expert in
your field. Business decisions are being made based on information
you can.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
Provide absolutely why because we tend points time, which is
very important to business. It's very important to know is
this a good time? Is this a good business relationship
to get into? Should we acquire this company? Even in
stocks even you know, when you look at the stock market,
(13:15):
some people do their their figures based off of the
moon cycles because the moon even influences us. So it's
lots and lots of different things out there that deal
with money, and astrology is the big one. I can
tell all the financial trends based off of the astrology
for the year. I can tell where I need to
put my money towards and where I shouldn't put my
(13:36):
money towards. Should I sit on my money a little
harder this year. That's in astrology. You know all of that.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
Now, Now, let's let's talk about this then, because I'm
going to go to the break in the minute and
probably get this answered after the break. Because as a
as a African American community, you know, we always you know,
I'm not recommending anything on this show. Always tell people,
do your research, talk to the right people, talk to
your financial devices. But how did astrology become a relationship
(14:11):
a tool instead of an advisory tool for career and finance?
How did that? How did that happen in our community?
Do you know?
Speaker 3 (14:19):
Well? In our community, you know, traditionally we've had a
huge wealth gap. You know, we've had a huge gap
between financial tools in general. You know, we're very, very
far removed from the world of finance. But when it
comes to relationships, we have deep family connections, we have
(14:40):
deep personal connections. That's the number one thing in our
in our community is relationships.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
Wow again, I'm talking to Choyas Maximus a coirrasmaximums dot
com information if you want to know more about what's
going on and what astrology, zodiacs, card reading. But also
when we come back cardologists, that's correct, cardology, cardology. Car
(15:06):
cardology is a person with the heart. I apologize cardology.
We're going to talk about that. We just talked about astrology,
going down to cardology. If we have time, we're going
to do into the blockchain and the cryptocurrency. But I
got a querious maximists on the phone. I'm going to
get all the information about stuff I don't know. This
may be a selfish show today because I'm learning things
and hopefully you learning things too. We'll be right back
(15:28):
bore Money Making Conversations master Class right there.
Speaker 4 (15:36):
We'll be right back with more Money Making Conversations Masterclass
with Rashawn McDonald. Welcome back to the Money Making Conversations
Masterclass hosted by Rashaan McDonald.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
My guess is a Quarius Maximus. She's an incredible individual
when it comes to providing information. She's been on my
show multiple times basically talking about cryptocurrency and blockchain. The
first time I've had on the show talking about astrology
in court. Cardology is what I want to talk about
now because that's something I never heard of, and she
(16:09):
was telling me prior to the call. Prior to the show,
we was talking and just giving me a gist of
what she'd like to talk about. Please educate us on cordology.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
Well, a lot of people don't realize that, you know,
but the basic card deck has fifty two cards and
that it is an encoded calendar. There are fifty two
weeks in the year and there are fifty two cards.
There are four seasons, and there are four different suits
in the cards. There are thirteen court cards, and there
are thirteen lunar months in a calendar that used to
(16:42):
be we used to go by thirteen lunar months versus
twelve lunar months. So what this def of cards is
is a calendar. It's a walking calendar. And what it
does is it encodes energy. Like it basically allows us
to be able to encapsulate information about a person or
event all in one card, like fifty just fifty two cards.
(17:04):
So it's like you got this catalog in your head
of information about all fifty two cards. Well, guess what,
every day that you're born is a card, and that
card becomes your birth card. So we use these cards
to determine the personalities of people, and we also use
these cards to do predictions. And my predictive method has
(17:25):
been definitely I built a huge audience wowing people with predictions.
I predicted everything from the pandemic to the presidency to
who was going to win the presidency and all of
that based off of the cards.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
Now again cards or reference point, it's gambling, you know,
go fish, you know black Jack all these things. But
now you're telling me Rashan is not going to ask
this question, of course, which was first with cards? Was
it gambling or was it what you're talking about.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
It was definitely what I was talking about was first,
which is why cards were banned at one point, were outlawed.
You had certain situations where people would drop an as
of Spades down as a message. Well, as of Spades
is the card of death and rebirth, so that, dude,
it is a message, you know, it's in that. And
then we'd use playing cards in Hulu in the South
(18:22):
and you would go to you know, a little auntie
or grandmama or somebody somewhere and she pull out of
Death of cards and do readings with it. And it
was known as cardman season. But it goes even deeper,
goes to the lodges, you know. These The cardology goes very,
very very deep, and it's been secret for a very
long time, and as of recently in the last two
(18:43):
three decades that it's come out to the public and
as public knowledge, and I've been sharing it with our community,
you know, because I believe it's started with us.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
Now. The interesting thing about it is that you know.
Oh you know, I'm born in Houston, Texas. You know,
going up down I and New Orleans. You know your voodoo,
you hear these mystics, you are these psychics and all that.
So what you do as an African American can you
kind of get caught up into that?
Speaker 3 (19:11):
Well. The thing is the reason why I love it
the way that I present it is because I'm also
like a data scientist, right and how I see cardology
as data. I'm actually building software. I have a software
app right now, but I'm actually using software that uses
it as a predictive method. So it's really no different
than some of the predictive methods that AI has out there.
(19:34):
I'm just using the playing cards as a method to predict.
So it doesn't have to be strictly associated with any
type of religion or spirituality or anything. It could be
associated with data. And that's how I'm bringing it to people.
What if you had another source of data that you
can look at that can give you information. That's how
(19:55):
I'm bringing it to the people.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
So it's two things happening here under astrology. I just
want to just make sure I'm understanding everything. So astrology
is also predictive. Correct.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
Yes, astrology is also predictive, but astrology can be when
you really get deep into astrology, Like when you get
an astrology reading from astrologer, you're going to pull a
whole chart on you. They're going to pull all this
data if they're not just going to look at your son. Fine, right,
So it could be more complicated, but when it comes
to the cards, the cards are more simplified when it
(20:28):
comes to us being able to pull data just off
of the fifty two cards. Like you said that you
have issues with Sagittarius and relationships. Right, so in this
system you're a jack of clubs. You have a king
of clubs in Jupiter, which is Sagittarius's ruler, and the
king of clubs is mouthy and know it all. So
I'm pretty sure you got into many arguments the Sagestarius women. Yes, yes,
(20:52):
So you come to me and I would tell you.
You'd be like, well, tell me about Sagittarius women, and
me I'd be like, well, y'all are going to get
into it. Discuss this. Both of y'all think y'all know everything. Yes,
so you know you would bump hands a lot with
this person and.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
Then you know, the thing about it is that when
I when I sit up here and I'm being educated
by the process and hearing information that I never there
was tied to skepticism, but it's still aware of it.
And so I don't know what type of person I
am or what personality name you can get on a
person a skeptic or a blind a blind leader or whatever,
(21:29):
but I know that I am aware of it. I
have read it with authority. When I say that, I
mean I've read it and went, oh, okay, that's sounds
like me. That sounds like something's going to happen to me,
or or read at the end of the day, Oh,
that did happen to me. So you said something earlier,
you said your mom was in this business or is
(21:52):
in this business. So was her mom in this business too?
Speaker 3 (21:57):
Well, my grandma I was more say she was more
psychic than anything. You know, back in the days, our
grandmothers were like psychic. You know, they would be the
ones they would just come to us, well you know,
I got a word, or I had a dream or
I had a message, you know what I mean, Like
they would come and bring it like that. You know.
Nowadays we got all these tools. So we come with
(22:19):
these tools, you know, the cards, this and that. So
I would say she was more psychic than anything.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
My grandma was artificial intelligence before artificial intelligence.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
You go, there, you go, because we went to her
for the answer to everything, but to we got a
problem going on with her eye whatever, she knew the
answer and knew how to fix it.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
That was it.
Speaker 4 (22:43):
You know.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
Mom continued to come and say continue.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
My yeah, my mom. So she's been involved in in astrology, numerology,
all these things all my life. She's been into this,
and she was into the into the cards as well.
But when I got into the cards, I started channeling.
I brought a lot more information into this. I popularized cardology,
especially amongst the community. I guess you could say. So
(23:09):
people know just no Aquarius master my mom on the street,
they're like, oh, aquarious massives. But my mom, you know
she also she's she's on clubhouse, she's on these places,
and she's very snappy. She's an aid of diamonds. So
they're famous, they just walking around famous. But she's very
snappy and very real with it. So a lot of
people gravitate to her because of her realness with with
(23:31):
her readings and her information and stuff.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
Wow, let's talk about this for a minute. Because of
the fact that I know people listening Rashwan this money making,
it comes to this masterclass. I'm bringing to information to
you that people who quote unquote got money, people dont
quote unquote want to make more money, use different techniques
to get that edge, different techniques to get ahead. Like
(23:54):
there are people out there in your neighborhood laying down
faster cables so when they press enter, their enter is
a lot faster than your enter to biostock. So they're
electronic edges that people are paying for. And there are
other edges that people want an edge on. And this
is just one of those layers that you can you
can find out about it, you can do your own
(24:14):
research on. But more importantly, again tell them again, Aquarius,
what are the type of people that come to you
and how can they find you?
Speaker 3 (24:26):
So I guess the bulk. I call myself a celebrity,
a stology or a lot of celebrities come to me.
Lots of them, they know. I have a lot of
people in business, people that own you know, companies, people
who do trading, or we're in money and about to
make big money decisions right come to me. These are
(24:46):
the bulk of my clients. And to be totally honest,
I couldn't have come as far as I've done in
in crypto and what I'm doing without knowing this. This
kind of helps me gauge time. You know, a lot
of people give up on stuff, and that's the big thing,
the bulk of stuff. It's like, it's not that you're
on to something. You're not onto something good. You got
(25:09):
a great idea, a great plan, you start executing it,
but then things then time just starts dragging and you
think that it's not working. But the one thing that
cardiology can do is to show you that it is working.
It just takes time. And this is going to be
the approximate time that this is going to manifest for you.
So you'll imagine being able to know that, Okay, all right,
(25:31):
I'm starting this business. They may not really really really
kick off for me for another two years, because that's
the year it says it's going to kick off for me.
So I can go through two years without stressing and
continuing to work on my business because I know at
the end of the two year cycle this is when
these things are going to manifest for me. But if
I didn't know after year one, I'm like, I'm still
(25:54):
not making a lot of money. I'm still not doing this,
and then people just give up.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
Wow, you know I and knowing you over the years,
you know you've always been a motivator and you are
a nerd. I will tell you that because you always
give me information I know nothing about it, even as
an astrologist. I'm gonna tell your queries you are still
a nerd. And because because it gives a trust factor
to anything that you do. And I'm just when I
(26:23):
recommend people who they come on my show and they
always do your research, and even in this field, do
your research. But when you do your research, you know,
don't go in there blind. Go in there and share.
Take the information that she gives you. And then also
over time you'll find results that should benefit you. If
it don't benefit you, do you work away correct.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
That's another reason why I love this because in cardiology,
you know, there's a few books out there and stuff
like that. So when I read people, I get them
a map that they could go back and study for themselves.
I don't just tell you something that is going to
happen and you ain't got no way to back it
up or look it up. No, I tell you something
about you and your card and your birthday, and then
(27:06):
you go searching and you'll find online information out there.
So that's what I like about it, being able to
pass this on the people so they could use it
as a personal development tool for themselves. They're not gonna
need me after a while.

Her name is Aquarius Maximus is a She's the founder.
She's a founder of, an author and leading authority and blockchain,
(01:55):
cryptocurrency and artificial intelligence things I know nothing about. By
deluid blockchain I bring on the show. She tries to

Called the show. She will definitely help you out with answers.

Her journey is marked by parenteering achievements has seen her
become the first woman of color to develop and launch

just tell you this because we're going to talk a
lot about this on the show today, a leading authority
in cardology and astrology. Again, cardology, if you don't know
(02:38):
what that is, the ancient mystical signs of playing cards
reveals the who, what, where, when, why and how of
your life from birth to death. In cards and astrology,
we all know about the twelve zodiac science most of
us know. Please welcome the Money Making Conversation Masterclass. Aquarius Maximus.
(02:59):
How you doing?
Speaker 3 (03:01):
Hi?
Speaker 1 (03:02):
How are you good? Good? Welcome to the show. And
you're based where Aquarius?
Speaker 3 (03:07):
I'm based in Georgia, Good County.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Good. Now, this is the first just about the fourth
time you've been on my show.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
Correct querus, Yeah, about the third time.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Third time, And every time you come on, we talk
about cryptocurrency, we talk about blockchain. Now, you did a
name change. Now why did you do a name change?
Tell my audience why, and then so we can move
forward on that, because, like I said, you have to
one day wake up and be who you are, Okay.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
Florida, Yeah, absolutely, absolutely. Well, I have a big following
on social media under my astrology side as Aquarius Maximus,
so most people knew me for years as Aquarius and
then so they were more confused when they start hearing
about me as Tavannah the tech side, Tavannah Evans. So,
(03:55):
but the people that don't on the tech side, I've
been behind the scenes for a long time, so don't
really know me at you know, as either one. So
I went with Aquarius because that's me. That's that literally
who is who I am. And I feel like it
kind of empowers me to a degree. Savannah Evans is
kind of like a she's a nerd, she's very you know,
(04:17):
she's very behind the scenes, low key da da da
da da, And Aquarius Maximus is like, she's fun, she's
a boss.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
So I felt like I needed that energy in my
journeys even with Crypto, So I decided to just go
full fledged with my Aquarius Maximus. And by the way,
my mom approves because she changed her name to my
mom is an astrologer. She's well known on clubhouse.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
Wow, so this is kind of like a legacy.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
Yeah, it is.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
So, you know, I called the Aquarius before the show.
I called everybody before the show. That's it. I would
tell your Aquarius. I get up every day, I wrote
to everybody who knows me money through Friday, I get
up at four thirty am. My original home is Houston, Texas.
Or I immediately pick up my phone and I look at
the Houston Chronicle online and I go to two sections immediately.
(05:07):
I'm just telling you the truth. I go to two sections. Immediately,
I go to the comic section, and in the comic
section is the astrology. Now, I'm gonna tell you right now, Aquarius.
I don't know if I believe in astrology, but I
find myself looking up pisces every day. Is it a
lot of people out there like me, you know, in
(05:27):
denial but read and look. Yeah, tell us about tell
us about astrology in general and the importance of it
and why it consumes a lot of people with with
with making decisions.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
Well. JP Morgan once said that millionaires don't use astrology.
Billionaires too, right, So that was a key phrase that
we're always telling people in this country. Some of the
top people in the country have had their own personal
astrologers and years in years and years ago, astrology was
(06:02):
a science. It was accepted as a science. It wasn't
until like the medieval times that it became outlaw to
be totally honest, right, And you know why not? Because
what it does is it really helps you to get
in tune with the time and gain understanding of what's
going on? Why now? And itbody always wants to know
why now? Why is happening now? Astrologiers know we always
(06:25):
know why it's happening now because we know the cosmic
time versus just the time on Earth.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
Now. The interesting thing about is that like sat in
high school, I knew numerology. I was really really good
at it was my science project. I went to the
State Fair because I was really skilled at numerology. And
now when you talk about astrology, you know the number
one thing because you said, billionaires have astrologists, people who
are financial leaders have astrologists. Now, the most of the time,
(06:56):
I'm just talking about our community. Most time I hear
about astrology in the Black community is by relationships. You
price your school fio Hey.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
Absolutely, that's like my biggest most of my clients come
to me about relationship issues, most of them, so I
feel like I'm one big relationship counselor like honestly, that's
the biggest thing that people come to me about. They
want to gain an understanding of why this person is
the way they are because they can't wrap their head
(07:31):
around it, and you know, they want to get the
They want to get the skinny on is it going
to change, is it going to get better? You know
what's on in astrology and numerology and cardiology, which I
do help you to pinpoint when things are going approximate times,
but when things are going to happen, and approximate times
(07:52):
of being able to get an imagine if you go
into a year at your birthday and you're able to
get a snapshot of the whole year. That's what we do.
The wonderful thing. So I already know what my year
is gonna look like. I already know if it's gonna
be a good year for relationships, or if it's gonna
be a good year for money, or it's gonna be
a year where I need to get more spiritually in
tune with myself. I already know every year.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Now the interesting Okay, let's go down the list. Just
in case somebody out there don't know astrology. There are
twelve zodiac signs. Correct enough, Okay, uh, let me let
you're a professional, let's go through all twelve. I'm not
gonna I'm gonna sit back and listen because, like I said,
I am a novice, but I am a closet user
of astrology. You know when when I when I see
(08:36):
something that I read on in the morning, I use
it to my advantage. You know, I'm gonna use that
way you like. It's because to me, sometimes they do
read as sweeping generalizations, but sometimes they feel like there's
something I should utilize because the information being given to me.
So what are the twelve zodiac signs?
Speaker 3 (08:56):
So the twelve zodiac signs, and I'm gonna start with
number one. Aries Areas is the number one sign. Then
we have tourists, you have Gemini, and I'm not saying
number one like it's the best. That is literally the
first sign. Yea, Tourists, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius,
and Pisces. That's your sign. Pisne is actually the last sign.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Yes, okay, because a lot of people they look at
like January through December and think that's the order. But
that's not the order of the zodi.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
That's not the order. That's not the order of the zodiac,
the zodiac order. I guess you could say the zodiac
new year is in the spring. You know aries that brings,
that's in the zodiac, in the horoscopes, in the what
we call the houses. The first house in astrology is
ruled by aries.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Now let me ask you this, so let's just you know,
I haven't I will admit, you know, I have asked
ladies in my life what's their sign?
Speaker 3 (09:56):
Sign?
Speaker 1 (09:57):
What's their sign? And I'm going to admit I'm gonna
go to admit, you know, if you we all have
qualities like mind sign Pisces. I was supposed to be romantic,
a poet, you know, very good with music. That the
creative person that kind of fits who Rushan McDonald is today.
You know what I'm saying, and so and so so
I I like, like, like I said, I don't get along.
(10:18):
I'mna just tell you this is Rushan speaks. I don't
get along with Sagittarius anybody in my life that I've
ever dated. The sagittarius. We did not get along. And
I would read I would read their descriptions and I go,
that's not a person I get along with based on
you know, like I said, what what the what? What
the what it says about a person's sagittari so so
(10:40):
so some of these stuff we can like laugh at it,
we can like joke at all, but some of it
does aligne pretty accurate, correct.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
And and some people, if you paid attention. A lot
of people that you deal with will literally have the
same birthdays. And if they don't have the same birthdays,
like you don't have a tendency to deal I got
one friend, he was he was married to two different women,
both born on the same day, right, And you know
I have children. I have two of my children are
(11:08):
born on particular days that I've met a lot of
people to have the same two children born on those
two days. So but we a lot of times we
don't pay attention to those little details. We don't we know,
we will laugh it off as a coincidence, right, but
it's not. It's just like sometimes you will deal with
the same person with like you'll deal with a name
(11:30):
you'll have a lot of Shawns in your life, even
though it's differently, you'll have five different Shawns in your life.
That these are not coincidences. Those energies are related, and
they're related to you in your own script. And a
lot of people think that we're just our son's sign. See,
you think you're just a piscest. But in astrology you
(11:52):
have you have twelve signs like you literally have every
every sign. You got a moon sign, which in some
places the moon sign is stronger than your son. And
I'm a Scorpi your sun. But I'm a sag moon,
so that makes me part Sagittarius, you know. And you
so you might deal with somebody and you think that
(12:13):
they're you know, this sign, but then you don't know
their moon sign, you don't know their rising they have
other signs.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
See I'm teasing right there is where you lose me
with astrology. You know, I'm good with just knowing the sign.
When you talking about the rising moon, the sudden sun
and all that, and if you're too close over here.
They really got the Sagittarius personality, even though they say
they're born in their range for the Scorpio. But it's
all about the relationship and all about business. I'm gonna
(12:42):
ask you this question. As an astrologist, an expert in
your field. Business decisions are being made based on information
you can.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
Provide absolutely why because we tend points time, which is
very important to business. It's very important to know is
this a good time? Is this a good business relationship
to get into? Should we acquire this company? Even in
stocks even you know, when you look at the stock market,
(13:15):
some people do their their figures based off of the
moon cycles because the moon even influences us. So it's
lots and lots of different things out there that deal
with money, and astrology is the big one. I can
tell all the financial trends based off of the astrology
for the year. I can tell where I need to
put my money towards and where I shouldn't put my
(13:36):
money towards. Should I sit on my money a little
harder this year. That's in astrology. You know all of that.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
Now, Now, let's let's talk about this then, because I'm
going to go to the break in the minute and
probably get this answered after the break. Because as a
as a African American community, you know, we always you know,
I'm not recommending anything on this show. Always tell people,
do your research, talk to the right people, talk to
your financial devices. But how did astrology become a relationship
(14:11):
a tool instead of an advisory tool for career and finance?
How did that? How did that happen in our community?
Do you know?
Speaker 3 (14:19):
Well? In our community, you know, traditionally we've had a
huge wealth gap. You know, we've had a huge gap
between financial tools in general. You know, we're very, very
far removed from the world of finance. But when it
comes to relationships, we have deep family connections, we have
(14:40):
deep personal connections. That's the number one thing in our
in our community is relationships.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
Wow again, I'm talking to Choyas Maximus a coirrasmaximums dot
com information if you want to know more about what's
going on and what astrology, zodiacs, card reading. But also
when we come back cardologists, that's correct, cardology, cardology. Car
(15:06):
cardology is a person with the heart. I apologize cardology.
We're going to talk about that. We just talked about astrology,
going down to cardology. If we have time, we're going
to do into the blockchain and the cryptocurrency. But I
got a querious maximists on the phone. I'm going to
get all the information about stuff I don't know. This
may be a selfish show today because I'm learning things
and hopefully you learning things too. We'll be right back
(15:28):
bore Money Making Conversations master Class right there.
Speaker 4 (15:36):
We'll be right back with more Money Making Conversations Masterclass
with Rashawn McDonald. Welcome back to the Money Making Conversations
Masterclass hosted by Rashaan McDonald.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
My guess is a Quarius Maximus. She's an incredible individual
when it comes to providing information. She's been on my
show multiple times basically talking about cryptocurrency and blockchain. The
first time I've had on the show talking about astrology
in court. Cardology is what I want to talk about
now because that's something I never heard of, and she
(16:09):
was telling me prior to the call. Prior to the show,
we was talking and just giving me a gist of
what she'd like to talk about. Please educate us on cordology.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
Well, a lot of people don't realize that, you know,
but the basic card deck has fifty two cards and
that it is an encoded calendar. There are fifty two
weeks in the year and there are fifty two cards.
There are four seasons, and there are four different suits
in the cards. There are thirteen court cards, and there
are thirteen lunar months in a calendar that used to
(16:42):
be we used to go by thirteen lunar months versus
twelve lunar months. So what this def of cards is
is a calendar. It's a walking calendar. And what it
does is it encodes energy. Like it basically allows us
to be able to encapsulate information about a person or
event all in one card, like fifty just fifty two cards.
(17:04):
So it's like you got this catalog in your head
of information about all fifty two cards. Well, guess what,
every day that you're born is a card, and that
card becomes your birth card. So we use these cards
to determine the personalities of people, and we also use
these cards to do predictions. And my predictive method has
(17:25):
been definitely I built a huge audience wowing people with predictions.
I predicted everything from the pandemic to the presidency to
who was going to win the presidency and all of
that based off of the cards.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
Now again cards or reference point, it's gambling, you know,
go fish, you know black Jack all these things. But
now you're telling me Rashan is not going to ask
this question, of course, which was first with cards? Was
it gambling or was it what you're talking about.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
It was definitely what I was talking about was first,
which is why cards were banned at one point, were outlawed.
You had certain situations where people would drop an as
of Spades down as a message. Well, as of Spades
is the card of death and rebirth, so that, dude,
it is a message, you know, it's in that. And
then we'd use playing cards in Hulu in the South
(18:22):
and you would go to you know, a little auntie
or grandmama or somebody somewhere and she pull out of
Death of cards and do readings with it. And it
was known as cardman season. But it goes even deeper,
goes to the lodges, you know. These The cardology goes very,
very very deep, and it's been secret for a very
long time, and as of recently in the last two
(18:43):
three decades that it's come out to the public and
as public knowledge, and I've been sharing it with our community,
you know, because I believe it's started with us.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
Now. The interesting thing about it is that you know.
Oh you know, I'm born in Houston, Texas. You know,
going up down I and New Orleans. You know your voodoo,
you hear these mystics, you are these psychics and all that.
So what you do as an African American can you
kind of get caught up into that?
Speaker 3 (19:11):
Well. The thing is the reason why I love it
the way that I present it is because I'm also
like a data scientist, right and how I see cardology
as data. I'm actually building software. I have a software
app right now, but I'm actually using software that uses
it as a predictive method. So it's really no different
than some of the predictive methods that AI has out there.
(19:34):
I'm just using the playing cards as a method to predict.
So it doesn't have to be strictly associated with any
type of religion or spirituality or anything. It could be
associated with data. And that's how I'm bringing it to people.
What if you had another source of data that you
can look at that can give you information. That's how
(19:55):
I'm bringing it to the people.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
So it's two things happening here under astrology. I just
want to just make sure I'm understanding everything. So astrology
is also predictive. Correct.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
Yes, astrology is also predictive, but astrology can be when
you really get deep into astrology, Like when you get
an astrology reading from astrologer, you're going to pull a
whole chart on you. They're going to pull all this
data if they're not just going to look at your son. Fine, right,
So it could be more complicated, but when it comes
to the cards, the cards are more simplified when it
(20:28):
comes to us being able to pull data just off
of the fifty two cards. Like you said that you
have issues with Sagittarius and relationships. Right, so in this
system you're a jack of clubs. You have a king
of clubs in Jupiter, which is Sagittarius's ruler, and the
king of clubs is mouthy and know it all. So
I'm pretty sure you got into many arguments the Sagestarius women. Yes, yes,
(20:52):
So you come to me and I would tell you.
You'd be like, well, tell me about Sagittarius women, and
me I'd be like, well, y'all are going to get
into it. Discuss this. Both of y'all think y'all know everything. Yes,
so you know you would bump hands a lot with
this person and.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
Then you know, the thing about it is that when
I when I sit up here and I'm being educated
by the process and hearing information that I never there
was tied to skepticism, but it's still aware of it.
And so I don't know what type of person I
am or what personality name you can get on a
person a skeptic or a blind a blind leader or whatever,
(21:29):
but I know that I am aware of it. I
have read it with authority. When I say that, I
mean I've read it and went, oh, okay, that's sounds
like me. That sounds like something's going to happen to me,
or or read at the end of the day, Oh,
that did happen to me. So you said something earlier,
you said your mom was in this business or is
(21:52):
in this business. So was her mom in this business too?
Speaker 3 (21:57):
Well, my grandma I was more say she was more
psychic than anything. You know, back in the days, our
grandmothers were like psychic. You know, they would be the
ones they would just come to us, well you know,
I got a word, or I had a dream or
I had a message, you know what I mean, Like
they would come and bring it like that. You know.
Nowadays we got all these tools. So we come with
(22:19):
these tools, you know, the cards, this and that. So
I would say she was more psychic than anything.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
My grandma was artificial intelligence before artificial intelligence.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
You go, there, you go, because we went to her
for the answer to everything, but to we got a
problem going on with her eye whatever, she knew the
answer and knew how to fix it.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
That was it.
Speaker 4 (22:43):
You know.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
Mom continued to come and say continue.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
My yeah, my mom. So she's been involved in in astrology, numerology,
all these things all my life. She's been into this,
and she was into the into the cards as well.
But when I got into the cards, I started channeling.
I brought a lot more information into this. I popularized cardology,
especially amongst the community. I guess you could say. So
(23:09):
people know just no Aquarius master my mom on the street,
they're like, oh, aquarious massives. But my mom, you know
she also she's she's on clubhouse, she's on these places,
and she's very snappy. She's an aid of diamonds. So
they're famous, they just walking around famous. But she's very
snappy and very real with it. So a lot of
people gravitate to her because of her realness with with
(23:31):
her readings and her information and stuff.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
Wow, let's talk about this for a minute. Because of
the fact that I know people listening Rashwan this money making,
it comes to this masterclass. I'm bringing to information to
you that people who quote unquote got money, people dont
quote unquote want to make more money, use different techniques
to get that edge, different techniques to get ahead. Like
(23:54):
there are people out there in your neighborhood laying down
faster cables so when they press enter, their enter is
a lot faster than your enter to biostock. So they're
electronic edges that people are paying for. And there are
other edges that people want an edge on. And this
is just one of those layers that you can you
can find out about it, you can do your own
(24:14):
research on. But more importantly, again tell them again, Aquarius,
what are the type of people that come to you
and how can they find you?
Speaker 3 (24:26):
So I guess the bulk. I call myself a celebrity,
a stology or a lot of celebrities come to me.
Lots of them, they know. I have a lot of
people in business, people that own you know, companies, people
who do trading, or we're in money and about to
make big money decisions right come to me. These are
(24:46):
the bulk of my clients. And to be totally honest,
I couldn't have come as far as I've done in
in crypto and what I'm doing without knowing this. This
kind of helps me gauge time. You know, a lot
of people give up on stuff, and that's the big thing,
the bulk of stuff. It's like, it's not that you're
on to something. You're not onto something good. You got
(25:09):
a great idea, a great plan, you start executing it,
but then things then time just starts dragging and you
think that it's not working. But the one thing that
cardiology can do is to show you that it is working.
It just takes time. And this is going to be
the approximate time that this is going to manifest for you.
So you'll imagine being able to know that, Okay, all right,
(25:31):
I'm starting this business. They may not really really really
kick off for me for another two years, because that's
the year it says it's going to kick off for me.
So I can go through two years without stressing and
continuing to work on my business because I know at
the end of the two year cycle this is when
these things are going to manifest for me. But if
I didn't know after year one, I'm like, I'm still
(25:54):
not making a lot of money. I'm still not doing this,
and then people just give up.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
Wow, you know I and knowing you over the years,
you know you've always been a motivator and you are
a nerd. I will tell you that because you always
give me information I know nothing about it, even as
an astrologist. I'm gonna tell your queries you are still
a nerd. And because because it gives a trust factor
to anything that you do. And I'm just when I
(26:23):
recommend people who they come on my show and they
always do your research, and even in this field, do
your research. But when you do your research, you know,
don't go in there blind. Go in there and share.
Take the information that she gives you. And then also
over time you'll find results that should benefit you. If
it don't benefit you, do you work away correct.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
That's another reason why I love this because in cardiology,
you know, there's a few books out there and stuff
like that. So when I read people, I get them
a map that they could go back and study for themselves.
I don't just tell you something that is going to
happen and you ain't got no way to back it
up or look it up. No, I tell you something
about you and your card and your birthday, and then
(27:06):
you go searching and you'll find online information out there.
So that's what I like about it, being able to
pass this on the people so they could use it
as a personal development tool for themselves. They're not gonna
need me after a while.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
