Star Powered™ - Astrology for Changemakers with Leslie Tagorda Leslie Tagorda

After a turbulent beginning of the year, the cosmos of May is here to support our energy to appreciate, integrate and invoke your big ideas. We open up the monthly with Pluto going retrograde promising empowerment and transformation. Then our beautiful New Moon in Taurus wants us to create more sustainable and embodied peace. By the time we get to the third week of May when the moon gains light, you’ll be picking up momentum to take creative action on all the visioning and expansion. Then we have Sun, Venus, and Jupiter all shifting into curious Gemini in preparation for our optimistic Full Moon in Sagittarius. We then close out the month with Mercury connecting with Uranus for some surprise perspectives. Remember, May is your chance to integrate all that has shifted in the first four months about your vision, values, and leadership. Are you ready to invoke your big ideas?

If you are a changemaker, you need a place online that is the central hub of everything that you do. Because if you are only relying on social media to get leads, in the event that social media platform goes away, how are you going to connect to your people? It's so important to have a website or a sales page where you can collect emails to share and direct the world where you want them to go and take action. So in today's episode, I talk about the pitfalls and how to amen things easier when you are creating a window to your Work's soul using the AstroBrand® Method.

One of the biggest transits of the year, the meet up of the sky gods, Jupiter and Uranus heralds in a new cycle of growth, progress, and revolution in the Earthly realms of Taurus. Jupiter and Uranus meet up about once every 13 years sparking a massive shift in progress related to technology, energy/energetics/physics, space/aeronautic exploration, and everything connected to neuroscience and genetics. It is a perfect time to dream big and take bold steps to exceed your expectations and breakthrough where you’ve felt stuck in place. Your path to expansion and breakthrough are now illuminated. How will you invest in walking your path?

With the Sun and Moon in perfect alignment, this supercharged New Moon is a potent new beginning that requires a leap of faith of taking chances and jumping into the unknown. Remember to be a leader isn’t to have power over or to have a gazillion followers, to be a leader is to take action, show up, and share your gift. And HOW you do that is your unique style of leadership. There are infinite ways to be a leader. So take action, come out of hiding, and share your gifts gained from your past challenges because you are born to lead. Let this be your SIGN to JUMP.

This Mercury Rx in Aries offers a unique opportunity to redefine courage as a leader. By embracing this period as a time for inner exploration and recalibration, you can re-activate your leadership journey without the stress—emerging more aligned, resilient, and ready to lead in a way that truly resonates with who you are.
