Star Powered®- Astrology for Changemakers with Leslie Tagorda

In celebration of Libra, Venus and all things beautiful, I wanted to share my brand, logo and visual identity design process using my AstroBrand™ method. In episode 77, I shared about the charts that needed to start with good design and how to design using your Ascendant and midheaven. In this episode, I share with you our exact design process and showcase 6 recent do-for-you logo and brand design projects with some visionary soul-customer love sharing their experience. Remember that your brand's visual identity is a reflection of your brand's vision and voice. If you don't have those energies and power dialed in first, then no matter how pretty your visual identity is, it will simply be decoration.

After an intense week last week, we gratefully have a lot of time to put back the pieces and start to refocus in our business. This weeks overall theme comes from Saturn, our planet of responsibility, discipline, sustainability. With our Saturn changing direction and going forward, and our 2Q Moon in Capricorn, the stars really want to us take a look at our business and figure out what needs restructuring in our offers, how can we refocus with a concentrated effort. In contrast to that, we end our week with Sun trining Jupiter Rx where Jupiter, our planet of expansion wants us to think about what we want to share with a wider audience.

Intuitive energy healer, life coach, and Libra, Aquarius, Sagittarius, Tracy Neely (@tracyneely) inspires us to connect with our soul's frequency to create truth and trust in your business. To Tracy, everything is a frequency and she can see energy as discs stored in your nervous system. Within these discs are energetic portals that hold onto hurts and stories, sometimes intergenerational, that hold you back from accomplishing your intentions. Tracy shares how she uses her Libra Sun/Mercury cazimi to harmonize and charge up your energy centers so you can raise the energetic vibrations of your business.

Mercury Rx in Libra is here! And there's no need to freak the F out if you understand how to work with the energy in your business. Yes, slow down, triple-check communications, and back up your tech.

In this episode, I show you how to cultivate the highest ideals of Libra of commitment and partnerships while not getting stuck in the people-pleasing and co-dependency, Libra's downfall. Remember, alone we can do so little, but together we can do so much - Hellen Keller.

It's a big week with our Full Moon in Pisces and the Sun entering Libra. It's a week where you deepen your self-awareness through others. Pay attention and notice this week, people's actions are giving you deep insight into what you value and learn about yourself and how you see yourself in partnership. Notice if you feel victimized by anything or anyone. If you do, what will you reframe to step out of that energy? Learn about yourself via how others treat you.

Wholehearted Coach, speaker, writer, and life alchemist, Leo Sag Libra, Shirin Eskandani shares with us her story of reaching the pinnacle of her opera career and realizing that she wasn't yet happy.

This week's astrology gives you the physical energy and creative vitality to take action! What will you do with all this energy?

Virgo superpowered visibility coach & energetic healer, April Monique shares with us her story of deep identity healing. She shows us how using her toolbox of various energetic healing modalities, she first healed her own invisibility as a biracial woman then learned how to heal others. She also shares her journey of true visibility that started when she stepped back from being on social media. During this downtime, she learned to fine-tune, create boundaries and trust herself. All of this resulted in brighter visibility in her own terms. Listen in to learn how to wholly take care and show up for yourself (mind, body, and spirit) in order to serve other people in the highest way possible. All Virgo ideals!

Virgo High Priestess, Visibility Coach & Healer, April Monique shared with us that when she stepped back from being visible all the time, she was able to really fine-tune her energies to create boundaries and really trust herself in showing up less that enabled her to be more visible. Remember, when you start to take care and show up for yourself, that is when you can truly show up and serve other people in the highest way possible, energetically.

It's intention time with this week's Virgo New Moon. Your intention has a triple duty: for the health of your body, your business and for the rights of women's bodies currently under attack. This is a powerful week to get clear on what you want to call into your business through trustworthy relationships and driven transformation. Venus moving into Scorpio later this week shows you how your thoughts and desires are deepening. This week, you are supported to trust yourself to go deeper into what you really want. Peel back the layers, put away the shoulds, and embrace your unique desires. Be brave enough to ask and go after what you want.

The Virgo Archetype in your business is organization, routines, and overall health you need to run smoothly and effectively. Ruled by Mercury, you are meant to use Virgo energy to diagnose, prescribe, analyze and systemize your business for optimum health, vibrancy, and service to others. In this episode, I show you how to cultivate the highest ideals of Virgo's flow while not getting stuck in the rigid shadowy perfectionism, Virgo's downfall. Especially at a time where we feel broken and incomplete, Virgo shows you that you are already whole and deserving of wellness in your business.

We have an information-packed Biz StarCast, Astrology for Entrepreneurs episode. This week is all about the love of shared ideas! In August, Mercury completed its data collection in Virgo and now moves into Libra for an extended stay. Time to start connecting your data with the people in your community over the ideas you both love. Communications and ideas spark the more you get out of your head and do something with it. This is not the week to think about it. Do about it to get the clarity you need. Clarity is in your action.

I had such great intentions and plans for weeks of educational, inspirational podcasts. But that got sidelined as my kindergartener was sent home to quarantine after his first 3.5 days of school because of a Covid-19 case in his classroom. Needless to say, this past week with the full moon has been a brick on the camel's proverbial back. In today's unplanned, un-outlined, free form episode, I get curious with how we can validate our own personal challenges when there is so much hurt in the world and how to practice forgiveness for self. If you feel broken by it all, you're not alone. Sending love to you.

Pay close attention this week, the magic will happen and it will be in the details. In this week's Biz StarCast, Astrology for Entrepreneurs, We have our second Aquarius full Moon, and on the same day, the Sun moves into detail-oriented Virgo. There is a subtle difference in celebrating the details that make our work magical and getting stuck in the details where all we can see are flaws. It's this week that we keep our eye on the details while we can still keep an eagle-eyed perspective to see the big picture.

Our Sun Sign is one of our main pillars, along with our Moon and Rising Sign. Of the three pillars, our sun sign is the foundation of our brand. When we are able to recognize the strengths of our sun sign as our superstars, then we can get really clear on what we do so well. And when we can get clear on our brilliance and create impact for our brand, we then stop working in our zone of excellence, but rather working in our zone of genius. Our Sign sign represents our expertise that makes you uniquely you.

The stars want you to know that this week you create your own luck. The most fortunate week of the August with blessed Venus entering her home sign of Libra and the maverick Uranus stopping to go retrograde all the while calling in some lucky breaks while the creative sun illuminates expansive Jupiter (the mid point of Jupiter Rx). Your doors of opportunity open only if you've been committed and diligent about preparing. Oprah says: "Luck is a matter of preparation meeting opportunity."This week could shower you with luck and blessings if you've done your prep work. Are you doing your part to attract luck?

The Leo Archetype in your business is creative vibrancy, the energy you need to shine brightly, confidently, boldly and courageously. Ruled by the Sun, you are meant to use Leo energy to have fun in your business, after all, as a business owner you have the right to be doing what you love and what brings you joy. In this episode I show you how to cultivate your brilliance using Leo so you never have to dim your light again.

This week's theme for the Biz StarCast: Astrology for Entrepreneurs - Week of July 25 - July 31 is "Channel impulsiveness into creativity".⁠ There are three planetary shifts happening in a span of three short days this week. Quite the shock to our collective system. This much change in such a short span may feel rash and unsettled. Be aware of impulsiveness. You can harness this wild energy into cultural, expressive or artistic interests as a constructive way to channel this power. This isn't the week to launch or commit to anything long-term. Instead, use this energy to create, gather deep insights, and restore.

We are the tail-end of Cancer season and what better way to close out this season with one final episode all about the Moon Sign. You know that I love talking about the Moon Sign. A few weeks ago I posted a question in The Savvy Luminary about your business and your moon sign, and there were so many great questions. So before I left for Hawaii, I decided to hold a fun Q+A about the Moon Sign in your business in my free Facebook group, The Savvy Luminary. Enjoy this fun, conversational Q+A about how you can use your moon sign in your business.

This week's theme for the Biz StarCast: Astrology for Entrepreneurs - Week of July 11 - July 17 is "Practice balance".⁠ A week where you will be challenged to balance heart vs mind and discernment vs impulse.⁠ You'll want to make decisions based on facts and data even though your heart wants to go all in.⁠ Tap into your inner wisdom to help you clarify what you really want and your heart's wisdom to help you decide on your next action.⁠ Your power ultimately comes from the courage and trust you place in yourself.⁠ ⁠

Continuing with our Moon theme, we're going to discuss how to unlock your moon sign and illuminate it for your brand. I like to look at our moon sign as our inner brand, this is the part that most people don't necessarily see. But you can always spot somebody who's not really being authentic or they don't really know their inner landscape well enough to be operating from it in this kind of mindful conscious way. When we understand our moon sign, and we're operating from this place of emotional security, from this place of intuitive trust, when we are constantly up leveling and re examining our roadblocks and our vulnerabilities, this enables us to have to come from this power.

This week's theme for the Biz StarCast: Astrology for Entrepreneurs - Week of July 11 - July 17 is "Feelings lighten".⁠ It's this week you feel like you can FINALLY take some meaningful action forward. It's been a few months since you've felt this energized and optimistic.⁠ Your thoughts and emotions are clear and your ability to attract aligns with your ability to motivate. Now you have the opportunity, desire, and motivation to share your new wisdom with the world. If you are going to launch something this month, this would be your week. ⁠

This week's theme for the week of July 4-10 is "Be Kind to yourself and others". The tension of the previous week is beginning to fade, you've gone through most of it. You need a bit of time to slow down, it's still not a time to rush full speed ahead. This week, we have a few squares with Mercury and Neptune, along with Venus squaring Uranus. Then at the end of our week, we have our New Moon in Cancer 18° where we get to plant the seeds to nurture self care in our business. Want to feel productive this week? Practice self care.

Cancer is the energy you need in your business to create emotional safety and inclusion so that you and your customers can attain your desired results. Aligned transformation and growth in business and life can only happen when we feel secure. Security and belonging roots from within us and we can ripple out this soft-powered energy in the communities and safe spaces we build in our business. If you want true results for you and your customers, you need Cancer energy to create emotional boundaries and safe spaces. In this episode learn all about the Cancer Archetype and how you can use it in your business.

My favorite topic to talk about in your business and your natal chart is your moon sign. The moon has many deep layers and meaning in your personal astrology. When it comes to your business, your moon's needs will always take precedence. Awareness of your moon's nonnegotiables shows you what success feels like to you, how you need to be recognized, and how to motivate yourself from faith (vs fear). I share a fresh perspective on the moon and then share a replay of one of last year's most popular episodes.

Get ready for a busy cosmic week with Solstice, Cancer Season AND Jupiter Retrograde initiating all on one day! Venus is moving very quickly activating Jupiter and Pluto on her way to Leo.

All of this in one week! What to do? Elevate your perspective so you can see the big picture and how everything is connecting for you in your life and business. Information is now turning into wisdom and you are making meaning of all that has happened recently.

In this episode I want to celebrate Gemini, Virgo, Taurus, Jeffry Campanero, my right hand man. If you've attended a training, received an email, or simply listened to this podcast, you've had an experience with Jeff. For 12 unbelievable years, Jeff has been by my side. Jeff is the epitome of a Gemini, quick, multi-talented and able to juggle many things at once. This month, we celebrate all things Jeff, with Pride, his Solar Return and his vast experience as a multimedia designer and creator. A self-proclaimed proud, gay Filipino multi-faceted multi media designer, Jeff shares what it's like working with me, why you need a Jeff in your business, and his passion as a YouTube Creator in the Women's Wrestling World.

Last week was quite a doozy with the New Moon Eclipse and the midpoint of our Mercury Retrograde, and this week, we have a fairly quiet week, which is the perfect time for integration. This week, we have the Sun squaring Neptune, and the second meeting of Saturn and Uranus, where we get to look at the outdated social structures in your business that needs dismantling. Then we end our week with our 2Q Moon, where we act and organize to take a practical step to get closer to your vision.

Your voice is powerful. Your message matters. Gemini energy is what you need in your business to be curious, gain understanding, and find your clear voice to speak up and share your wisdom. You need Gemini energy in your business to promote your work, speak on your big message and teach your genius. Don't judge Gemini for being fickle. That is it's superpower - holding multiple perspectives and moving beyond binary yes/no to yes/and. Gemini has the power to change on a dime depending on its truth at the given time. Permission to change your mind, dear Gemini.

We are almost at the midway point of our Mercury Retrograde in Gemini. Are you drained, like me, because you're still trying to push full speed ahead? Or are you luxuriating in the re-knowing of your truth because you're making space to be? This week we must choose to slow down because of the New Moon Solar Eclipse and Mars entering Leo. If we don't slow down, the surge of powerful energy could fire up and ignite. Yet if we learn to control the temperature, this is great simmering energy to find your powerful voice. Your voice matters.

Dr. Sweta Chawla, with her Gemini Sun/Jupiter conjunction in the twelfth house of hidden talents shares her process of naming.

Secret: the path to revealing your brilliance isn't based on logic. Listen in as Sweta shares her process and journey into entrepreneurship.

Get ready, June is another BIG month of shifts where we get to reflect and get really clear on our truth. While business will still proceed, June isn't exactly the month to cross off those tasks on your list or launch your next dream project. The energy of the month is really about slowing down to get clear about your truth, feel into your deep emotional wealth and open yourself up to trusting in Spirit to help guide you. Are you ready? I am!

Mercury is already pumping on the breaks and goes backwards later this week, part of the process that initiated with Saturn Rx last week and the powerful Eclipse season that opened up on Wednesday. If you've done the work to forgive and release limiting self-beliefs, Mercury Rx will help you rediscover the truth that has been you all along. As we head into our second Mercury Retrograde of 2021, in its home sign of Gemini, we get to rethink our truth, reconsider our big message and relisten to our soul's work and how we live that purpose through our businesses. There is more intensity ahead, permission to slow down, permission to feel all your feels and permission to trust yourself. You are ready.

We have a gigantic cosmic week for the last full week of May. Saturn comes to a stop and goes in reverse where we get to revisit the system and structures that we have in place for our life that allows us to achieve all of our long-term goals. We then have our Full Moon Eclipse in Sagittarius midweek where we finally get to let go of those old belief systems that hold us back. Then at the very end of the week, we have the start of our second Mercury Retrograde in Gemini. So make sure you're padding your calendar this week, so you get to use this energy by reflecting, rethinking, and reorganizing. Are you ready?!

Shaunda shares with us how to trust in our differences to stay true to ourselves in our brands and leads by example to spark her own healing work that in turns sparks others on the same journey - in business and in life.
