Star Powered®- Astrology for Changemakers with Leslie Tagorda

In this weeks podcast, I want to talk about illusive Neptune. Neptune is starting a face-off with the Sun, telling us that it's the midway point of their retrograde phase. A full moon between the sun and Neptune illuminating our Neptunian planetary medicine. Neptune is one of those energies that if you try to understand it or grasp it, the meaning slips between your fingers. Instead Neptune wants you to feel interconnected with everything, everyone at all times as a droplet in a water color blended brush stroke. Whatever Neptune touches, it tends to create both confusion and imagination. But thats its gift to raise us out of the mundane.

Yet, I've found a way to harness my own energetics to launch without burn out and according to what I want all with the guidance of my biz coach and friend, Megan Hale. You've seen my business transform over the last few years, thanks to the wisdom of this supportive strategist at my side.

Here comes the sun.

In this final episode of 2022, I want to share with you what it means to operate at your highest potential.

As I teach you these markers of highest potentials, I reflect back on my 2022 in metrics and numbers to show you that sometimes downturns are you operating and choosing your highest potential, energy and capacity.

In this episode, I look at why work with celestial cycles. In the last 2 episodes where we looked at the collective mundane astrology for 2023, I shared what's in store for all of us. And I know you want to know, so what does this mean for me? Each of the stars, sun, moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto move at their own intervals. Sometimes those intervals ping and spark parts of your natal chart. Wouldn't it be nice to be able to know what to expect, how long it will last and how to intentionally work with that energy with peace and grace? In this episode I share how you can really tap into this divine timing.

Here in the states, we will be celebrating American Thanksgiving, not for all its harm but the concept that most of us want to tap into, abundance and gratitude. With our upcoming New Moon in Sagittarius and the ending of Jupiter Retrograde, what better time to create intentions to expand (Jupiter) our vision and purpose (Sagittarius) by going deep within to find your why! Remember, "how is never as important as why". Take a listen to this short but sweet episode where I dive into why I am so grateful for finding and understanding my Why so that I can deliver my vision of a star powered™ revolution to and for you.

Revolution starts within by choosing to do something out of your comfort zone to dismantle and decolonize the systemic shoulds and beliefs that hold you back from your highest potential. Our world is rife with a multitude of these limiting and oppressive stories to heal, and your natal astrology shows you exactly where you're meant to break free of past patterns of oppression and exactly which energies you are meant to stretch into to reach your highest potential. In this episode I'll share with you, the astrology keys that keep you comfortable (and stuck) in past patterns, the keys you need to stretch into and the two things you need to support you on your inner and outer revolution… choice and community. You can choose to go alone, and you won't go fast nor far. A revolution takes community, your people that support and witness you on this healing journey. Take a listen to this episode where I dive into how you can spark your own revolution using astrology and get a special invitation into Star Powered™ Circle.

Are you owning your Star Powers? To own your star powers is to first understand your chart and the unique strengths that are meant to radiate from within. Then to acknowledge the tender parts you are meant to heal, and then to confidently express that "no one else does this like I do". Today, I chat with Goodness Cecilia Villero, who I had the pleasure of meeting earlier this year in 2 AstroBrand™ trainings. I witnessed her making big leaps to step into her own star powers shortly after working together. I wanted her to share her journey with you, in her own words as she unearthed and overcame obstacles that stood in her way of owning her unique identity and value. And as a result, the courageous changes she made in her life and work so that she could lead by her chart!

In this episode, Mina Raver graciously shares her 1:1 AstroBrand™ session with you because we cover the inner healing journey and the gap left when we rely solely on strategies to help us succeed. The gap - shame and fear. To be a change maker is to do the unknown and face the fear of uncertainty. And the Taurus Lunar Eclipse is the energy you need to shatter that shame through radical acceptance of your painful emotions. Learn about the inner journey through the lens of this eclipse and Mars Rx to get to the heart of success in your change-making journey.

The eclipse seasons really crack me open to inspiration and our recent Scorpio Solar Eclipse in alignment with a business retreat sparked deep realizations and abundant creation. So this eclipse season, I was able to dig into the roots to really come face to face with my feelings of unimportance, apprehension and inadequacy. It was powerful to come face to face with these painful feelings because I was able to feel into them, acknowledge them, thank them for protecting me and now dive heart first into the courage of the uncertainty to claim my BFD-ness.With this inner integration, magic poured forth and I want to share this with you!

Mars Retrograde is coming, we get this cycle for about 10 weeks every 2 years or so. When Mars is in Gemini, the energy can be scattered and erratic, changing in the Wind. Mars in Gemini challenges you to direct your thoughts, mindset, words, and understanding to activate a call to action. And when Mars is in Retrograde you get to redirect, reaffirm, and reassess, reenergize your Gemini understanding. It's like a Mercury Retrograde on steroids! This energy asks "how will you redirect and reassert your energy through your mindset, thoughts, and call to action?".
