Speaker 2: And welcome back to Coast to Coast. George Nori with
Speaker 2: Ofira and Talio adute the Astro Twins, as we call them.
Speaker 2: They're among the most sought after astrologers and intuitive advisors
Speaker 2: of our times. As a longtime resident astrologers for LI Magazine,
Speaker 2: authors of more than twenty books, their latest is called
Speaker 2: The Astrology Advantage, they are the advisors to a roster
Speaker 2: of CEOs global leaders, successful entrepreneurs. They have top thousands
Speaker 2: of people their methods through their online platform and at
Speaker 2: their signature retreats. They also created the first streaming reality
Speaker 2: TV dating show based on astrology called Cosmic Love. O.
Speaker 2: Fira and Tali you do it? Ofira, welcome, Hi, looking
Speaker 2: forward to this And Tally, how are you?
Speaker 3: I'm doing great, so excited to be here. Huge staying
Speaker 3: of the show.
Speaker 2: I'll talk with both of you each individually and we'll
Speaker 2: have some fun. Okay, how did you too? With you
Speaker 2: if you're a starting get involved in astrology.
Speaker 4: Totally by accident.
Speaker 3: While students at the University of Michigan were detroitters like
Speaker 3: you and yeah, we were attending arts school there, and
Speaker 3: my boyfriend at the time gave me my astrological birth chart,
Speaker 3: which is a map of where all the planets were
Speaker 3: in the sky at your time of birth, and it
Speaker 3: knew so much about me the thirty page print out,
Speaker 3: I was fascinated, and yeah, it was a birthday present
Speaker 3: that was surprising. I got this portrait of myself as
Speaker 3: the stars, and it told me so much about myself
Speaker 3: that I was shocked and intrigued and wanted to know more.
Speaker 3: So that's where we went from there.
Speaker 2: And Telly, how about you, how'd you get it pulled
Speaker 2: into this?
Speaker 3: Well, we are identical twins. So as soon as she
Speaker 3: started telling me about this this chart, I was like,
Speaker 3: I must read this too, And we began asking all
Speaker 3: of our friends about their you know, birthdays, and we
Speaker 3: got a piece of software and we started running people's charts,
Speaker 3: and soon it just became, you know, you start to
Speaker 3: see patterns with these things. We started noticing, you know,
Speaker 3: patterns amongst celebrities. Initially a lot of the the divas
Speaker 3: are aries, Mariah Carey, Sleen Dion, Aana raw Arita Franklin.
Speaker 3: You know, you start and you start to wonder and
Speaker 3: you start to say, there's some interesting things going on,
Speaker 3: and it literally became just our same thing to ask
Speaker 3: people and we started to you know, categorize people that way.
Speaker 3: And then we started to use it to you know,
Speaker 3: learn how to do predictions for our own lives. That
Speaker 3: really helped us to build a business, to you know,
Speaker 3: make dating decisions. It became like our ultimate go to,
Speaker 3: a go to tool for decision making.
Speaker 2: It is an amazing tool, isn't it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it really is. I mean it's it cuts through
Speaker 3: all the clutter of all the things that you could do,
Speaker 3: you know, just to know you're The birth chart really
Speaker 3: is like a map to your soul. So it's like
Speaker 3: having the cosmic blueprint to how you're wired. Of course,
Speaker 3: you always have free will and choices, but knowing your
Speaker 3: inclinations from the chart, and that's what we found for
Speaker 3: people's like, when you understand how you're wired, it just,
Speaker 3: you know, it makes your day to day so much
Speaker 3: easier and it helps you to attract things that are
Speaker 3: more in alignment with who you are, and that's what
Speaker 3: we love about it.
Speaker 2: Well, Sara, why does astrology work? We know it does,
Speaker 2: but why.
Speaker 3: Well, from a psychological point of view, I always say
Speaker 3: that human beings are our own biggest blind spot. We
Speaker 3: can't see ourselves the way others see us. We're kind
Speaker 3: of stumbling around right trying to figure out what to do,
Speaker 3: how to make choices. The average adult makes thirty five
Speaker 3: thousand decisions a day, and so astrology works because it
Speaker 3: cuts through that analysis paralysis and helps people feel seen,
Speaker 3: feel understood, feel validated, and that extra gives them the
Speaker 3: courage to take action in their lives. But from a
Speaker 3: from a spiritual science point of view, you know, we're
Speaker 3: all made of stars, were you know, just made of water,
Speaker 3: and the moon moves the tides. I believe in us too,
Speaker 3: as much as the planet.
Speaker 2: As the computer age changed astrology, oh for sure.
Speaker 3: I think it's made it a lot more accessible and
Speaker 3: a lot more popular now. You know, when we first
Speaker 3: started doing astrology, we had to look things up in
Speaker 3: a book. We had very rudimentary software in the nineteen nineties.
Speaker 3: But now that it's on apps. You know, a lot
Speaker 3: of you know, media gen z and millennials, they all.
Speaker 1: Know their entire chart.
Speaker 4: We used to talk about your moon sign and.
Speaker 3: People are like, what the heck are you saying? Now
Speaker 3: everybody knows where every plan it was when they were born.
Speaker 3: And it's pretty amazing how astrology is really caught on
Speaker 3: and become integrated into people's lives thanks to social media
Speaker 3: and apps and the Internet, like it's not so far
Speaker 3: fetched anymore.
Speaker 2: You both developed a system called the IM system, which
Speaker 2: stands for Innovator Authority and Maven explain what that is.
Speaker 3: Yeah, So, after working with thousands of people, we did notice,
Speaker 3: of course that people were fascinated by astrology. But it's
Speaker 3: its own language, it has its own symbols, alphabet so
Speaker 3: it's one of those things where it's like incredibly helpful,
Speaker 3: but also incredibly hard to retain and remember. So we
Speaker 3: turned to a lesser known astrology shortcut called the chart dominance.
Speaker 3: So that's the dominant influences of fire, earth, air, and water,
Speaker 3: which are the elements it takes. Our system takes thirteen
Speaker 3: parts of the chart, the sun, moon rising, all the planets,
Speaker 3: so the people who know astrology out there. And then
Speaker 3: also these three drivers called the modalities or qualities that
Speaker 3: are really like your psychological drivers. They're called cardinal, fixed,
Speaker 3: and mutable signs, and we rename them Innovator authority or
Speaker 3: NAVE and so you know, if you've ever done a
Speaker 3: personality test like Myers Briggs or any agram or strength
Speaker 3: Spine or there are many of them, it can really
Speaker 3: kind of give you an archetype, and from that archetype
Speaker 3: you understand again how to make decisions that help you
Speaker 3: live a life that feels most in alignment with who
Speaker 3: you are. So the im system allows people to enter
Speaker 3: the same thing they would to do this full birth
Speaker 3: chart that confuses and intrigues, but to get at just
Speaker 3: one archetype so that they can already start to use
Speaker 3: astrology and have it right at their fingertips without having
Speaker 3: to become astrologers any The innovators are the people whose
Speaker 3: charts are mostly cardinal signs. So when we talk about
Speaker 3: your chart, it's a map of where the sun, moon,
Speaker 3: all the planets. We also count the north and south notes,
Speaker 3: but each one of those was in a different zodiac
Speaker 3: sign depending on when you were born. Most people know
Speaker 3: there's sun sign, we're Sagittarius. We know you're Gemini, George,
Speaker 3: so yeah, yeah, but you have all you have a
Speaker 3: moon sign as well, you know, and and every every
Speaker 3: heavenly bodies, and it's connecting into a different sign so
Speaker 3: we've shortcut that. So if your chart is mostly cardinal signs,
Speaker 3: that's aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn. These are the signs
Speaker 3: that start each season, and so these are the innovators,
Speaker 3: people who's that's what we have in our chart too.
Speaker 3: If you're mostly cardinal signs, you are a pioneer. You're
Speaker 3: a trailblazer, just like these signs that start the seasons.
Speaker 3: You're someone who's gonna want to be the first one
Speaker 3: out of the gates. And we find that with the
Speaker 3: innovators that are a bit ahead of their time, and
Speaker 3: maybe sometimes you know, people are like what are you
Speaker 3: talking about? And then like you know, five years later
Speaker 3: they're like, okay, I see now. The authorities are people
Speaker 3: with mostly fixed signs in their charts. These are the
Speaker 3: mid season signs Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius. So if
Speaker 3: that's you, you're somebody who really holds down the sport.
Speaker 3: You're the stabilizer. You are the person who is going
Speaker 3: to be the traditionalist, the one who makes sure that
Speaker 3: the past is honored. And then lastly we have our maivens.
Speaker 3: These are the people with mostly mutable signs, and they're
Speaker 3: are Gemini Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces, and these are the
Speaker 3: ones at the end of each season. And these people
Speaker 3: are a lot like the ambassadors, preparing us for new things.
Speaker 3: Mavens are famous for just like starting a buzz, communicating,
Speaker 3: sharing ideas. They're like the messengers. Now, there are some
Speaker 3: people who are hybrids. Actually we've done your, I am
Speaker 3: and you are a hybrid, or actually, no, you're not
Speaker 3: your an authority, I'm sorry, but some people are innovator authority,
Speaker 3: innovator maven and authority maven. But most people are just
Speaker 3: one of them primarily, and it's such a helpful archetype
Speaker 3: to have because you can see how to apply that
Speaker 3: towards every aspect of your life. That's what be right
Speaker 3: about in our book.
Speaker 2: If you had ten Geminis, would they all have similar traits?
Speaker 3: They would have some similar traits. You know, I'll be like,
Speaker 3: I think twenty geminis, you can say, because it's a
Speaker 3: sign of the twins, So yes, it would definitely have
Speaker 3: you know, probably some might be more verbal, some might
Speaker 3: be more kind of petty in their thoughts. But Geminis
Speaker 3: ruled by the planet Mercury, and that's the planet of communication.
Speaker 3: Thinking ideas, so you will find common traits. Absolutely.
Speaker 2: The name of your LATEUS book is called The Astrology Advantage,
Speaker 2: but it teaches people how to use their horoscope for
Speaker 2: personal and professional success. I think that's cool.
Speaker 1: Thank you.
Speaker 3: We like that astrology can be made practical and useful.
Speaker 3: That's you know. We were, like we said, we were
Speaker 3: studying at the University of Michigan. I fear almost went
Speaker 3: to engineering school.
Speaker 4: Our grandfather really wanted.
Speaker 3: Us to do that. So we're very math and science space.
Speaker 3: Even though we went to arts school and I've always
Speaker 3: loved patterns, we did played instruments, so you know this,
Speaker 3: this is.
Speaker 4: A tool that is extremely practical, and we found it
Speaker 4: to be very useful, and we're excited to show other
Speaker 4: people how useful it can be now that we've removed
Speaker 4: one of the barriers of access to astrology, which is
Speaker 4: having to learn all the complicated new things about it.
Speaker 2: Now you don't have to whereabouts in Detroit were you
Speaker 2: raised Oak Park?
Speaker 3: And we want to Spurndale High so nine Mile Road?
Speaker 2: Well, Well, you used to work at TV too, right
Speaker 2: there up there.
Speaker 3: And oh yeah, I picture the station driving right by.
Speaker 3: Cool and you went to Wayne State right.
Speaker 2: The University of Detroit.
Speaker 3: Oh, University of Detroit though, right, Oh cool, okay, wow,
Speaker 3: we were Have you been back lately at all?
Speaker 2: Or to go back to see mom sometime in a
Speaker 2: couple of months. She's ninety five years old.
Speaker 3: WHOA, Yeah, it's really amazing there now. It's thriving so much.
Speaker 3: You know, there's always a lot of creativity there. But
Speaker 3: I think it's like coming out lord to the services.
Speaker 2: She's made twenty eighth as her birthday. That makes her
Speaker 2: a Gemini, right, that does you know?
Speaker 3: I find a gemini is often live very long and
Speaker 3: stay really mentally sharp into you know, into their hundreds,
Speaker 3: the ones I've known.
Speaker 2: Well, let's hope, so yeah, let's hope so do Yeah.
Speaker 2: How often do you think people should use astrology in
Speaker 2: their day to day living?
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, you can use it daily, honestly.
Speaker 3: We Again, there are people who can get very superstitious
Speaker 3: with astrology. You know, some people will ask because questions
Speaker 3: about you know, when is this going to happen? When
Speaker 3: is this going to happen? You know, and there are
Speaker 3: there are periods of time that are more ripe and
Speaker 3: fertile for things to happen. But one thing we always
Speaker 3: like to remind people that you're always co creating with
Speaker 3: the universe too. You know, there can be a really
Speaker 3: a great energy available, but if you are focusing on,
Speaker 3: you know, maybe something that is not in your best interest,
Speaker 3: you're not going to be able to manifest. So it's
Speaker 3: very useful to look at, you know, your daily horoscope
Speaker 3: where are the stars today, but also looking at your
Speaker 3: own sign, learning about your sign, and learning about your
Speaker 3: I AM and learning about your whole chart if you
Speaker 3: want to get a little more advanced, because then you
Speaker 3: know what you know, it's kind of like your chart
Speaker 3: or your sign even tell you kind of what you're
Speaker 3: wired for and where you're going to have. You know
Speaker 3: how to be an attunement with yourself, and then you
Speaker 3: know how to really read the day. But we do
Speaker 3: always we I mean, obviously we write a daily horoscope
Speaker 3: and we we're looking at it all the time, but
Speaker 3: we're also saying, treat it like the weather. You know, okay,
Speaker 3: don't It's just because you find out it's going to
Speaker 3: rain doesn't mean you don't leave the house. I mean,
Speaker 3: say it might be a good idea to take an umbrella.
Speaker 3: You don't have to take one. We believe strongly and
Speaker 3: free will. Like you watch the weather, it's something that
Speaker 3: is likely to happen, but not guaranteed. But there's a
Speaker 3: chance of rain, so you can get wet if you want,
Speaker 3: or you can take an umbrella. It's the same thing,
Speaker 3: like there's a chance of something with whatever your horoscope
Speaker 3: for the day is.
Speaker 4: So, yeah, the moon you need at your own risk.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the moon changes times every two and a half days,
Speaker 3: and that you know, the moon is a very strong
Speaker 3: influence on the planet, pulls the tides, and I think
Speaker 3: it pulls our energy as well. So the mood that
Speaker 3: we're all under will change every couple of days. So
Speaker 3: if anything, always kind of look at what sign the
Speaker 3: moon is in. If you know that's that's always going
Speaker 3: to give you the energy and the mood of the
Speaker 3: day that you know that you're dealing with.
Speaker 2: Have you ever given anybody a horoscope that scared you?
Speaker 4: No, No, no, it's not really.
Speaker 3: We really are very conscientious about that because actually I
Speaker 3: was gifted a tarot card reading years ago and the
Speaker 3: reader said something like that happened the next day. I think
Speaker 3: it was a guy that I was dating broke up
Speaker 3: with me. And she pulled the like the devil card
Speaker 3: or something.
Speaker 4: Like that, and it was it's like, oh my god.
Speaker 3: So I was like, oh, I never want anyone to
Speaker 3: feel like I hold all this information. She could have
Speaker 3: explained it better, but she just wasn't that type. So
Speaker 3: we take a lot of responsibility in how we presented
Speaker 3: the information. I think have a lot of the reason
Speaker 3: astrology and other uh such modalities are scary to people
Speaker 3: is because of the person giving me information, is that
Speaker 3: they're not doing it responsibly and maybe they even want
Speaker 3: to scare the person so they have a little power
Speaker 3: over them. We're not interested in doing that, but we
Speaker 3: do sometimes have to give people, you know, I love
Speaker 3: tough or you know, news that isn't exactly what they
Speaker 3: want to hear. Like sometimes people you know.
Speaker 2: Well the way it is though you don't hold back, Yeah.
Speaker 4: We do.
Speaker 1: We do.
Speaker 3: We just say like, listen, you know, if I'm advising you,
Speaker 3: this is what I see, don't really think it's a
Speaker 3: time to do that, or oh I might not do
Speaker 3: that if I were you, But you know, we'll let
Speaker 3: them know what consequences they might have to live with.
Speaker 3: But just we we try not have anybody lay the seat,
Speaker 3: and the aren't in their mind of like something bad
Speaker 3: is going to happen on this day, you know, because
Speaker 3: that's I don't know if it is or nobody really
Speaker 3: knows that I write about that.
