    Mercury Retrograde in Cancer 2026: Re-Root Your Emotional Leadership

    Mercury Retrograde in Cancer doesn't happen in a silo. It enters its shadow zone near the Gemini New Moon, stations retrograde on the Capricorn Full Moon, goes combust with the Cancer New Moon, and stations direct the same day the Sun enters Leo. Every cycle is a flower strung onto the one before it and the one after it, like a lei. In this episode, recorded live inside the Star Powered Circle masterclass, Leslie Tagorda strings together how this retrograde connects to Jupiter entering Leo and Venus entering Libra, breaks down what this transit asks of your leadership on a personal, community, and collective level, walks through the exact stations and degrees (and how this cycle compares to the last time Mercury moved through this same stretch of Cancer, back in 2020), and goes house by house through what this retrograde wants you to re-root.

    Jupiter in Leo 2026: Expand Your Radiance, Leadership & Creative Power

    Jupiter is the planet of expansion, and as it moves into Leo, the sign of radiance, creativity, courage, and joy, it invites us to ask a powerful question: How are you ready to expand your radiance? In this special four-part astrology series, recorded live inside Star Powered Circle, Leslie Tagorda explores what Jupiter in Leo means for leaders, entrepreneurs, and changemakers who are ready to make their mark. Together, we explore how this transit can amplify your visibility, creativity, confidence, and leadership, while uncovering the beliefs that may be keeping you from fully stepping into your brilliance. Jupiter expands whatever it touches, and Leo reminds us that our light is meant to be shared. This is an invitation to stop dimming, trust your brilliance, and lead with more joy, courage, and authenticity.

  4. What Chiron Reveals About the Gift in Your Leadership and Brand

    What Chiron Reveals About the Gift in Your Leadership and Brand

    The thing you can't heal in yourself is the thing you're here to heal in others through your work and your leadership. That's Chiron, the wounded healer, and your greatest gifts as a leader come straight from your most painful wounds. In this episode, business astrologer Leslie Tagorda walks you through the full arc of Chiron in Taurus and what it's asking of you as a changemaker. She shares her own Chiron in Aries story of growing up mixed race, code switching to survive, and the comparisonitis that shaped her path into brand strategy and astrology. Then she maps the myth of Chiron, from abandonment to becoming the master healer with his own temple, onto the hero's journey of your own leadership, with a story mapping exercise you can pause and do with a notebook. If you were born between 1976 and 1984, this one is especially for you. On June 19, Chiron moves back into Taurus, the sign it held the day you were born, and your Chiron return begins. Leslie gets to the heart of the Taurus questions, is it safe to have, to receive, to feel worthy, and closes by inviting the Chiron in Aries generation to take stock of what their wound made them become before Chiron leaves Aries for good. You do not need to be fully healed to do this work. Your lived experience is your expertise.

    How to Read Your Astrological Returns with Theresa Reed | Saturn Return, Pluto Return & More

    How do you read a Saturn return, a Pluto return, or any astrological return chart? Bestselling author and astrologer Theresa Reed, The Tarot Lady, joins me to break it all down from her newest book, The Book of Astrological Returns: Your Complete Guide to Every Life Cycle from the Sun to Pluto (Weiser Books). I don't cry easily, but when Theresa agreed to write the foreword for my upcoming book, Astrology for Changemakers, I absolutely teared up. That's the kind of generosity she brings to this whole astrology family. She's been reading tarot and astrology for 40 years, she's the author of more than eight books, and she's one of the warmest, funniest humans I know. In this episode you'll learn the four things Theresa looks at in any return chart, why your second Saturn return rarely goes the way you expect, and how she reads the United States Pluto return as a lens on the times we're living through. Theresa even gifts me a live mini-reading of her own solar return, with real talk about visibility, PR, and showing up for the Astrology for Changemakers launch. Theresa's book gives you the cycles. Astrology for Changemakers gives you how to lead with your stars inside them. Read together, they're a guide for being the change you want to see.

    Blue Full Moon in Sagittarius - The Beliefs That Were Never Yours with Jackie McDonald

    The Full Moon in Sagittarius on May 31 is a blue moon, the second full moon of the month, and a closing note on a big chapter. Sagittarius always asks the deeper question. Not just what is happening, but why. Under this full moon, that question turns toward the limiting beliefs that have been quietly running you — the inherited stories about whether your voice matters and whether it's safe to be seen, heard, and understood. In this episode, Leslie is joined by her friend Jackie McDonald of the Wildly Wealthy Woman Podcast. Together they pair the astrology with EFT tapping, a simple somatic practice for moving an old belief out of your body and a new one in. This one is part teaching, part hands-on. Come ready to do the work. What belief is stopping you right now? And what's the belief waiting on the other side of it?

    Gemini - The Power to Engage

    Gemini season meets Uranus for the first time in 84 years — and your voice is being called forward. In this special episode, Leslie Tagorda reads the full Gemini chapter from her upcoming book Astrology for Changemakers (Weiser Books, September 8, 2026). Geminis are some of the most judged signs of the zodiac — too chatty, too scattered, too changeable. Yet Gemini at its highest is the messenger, the cross-pollinator, the thought leader who builds bridges between people and ideas. Whether you have Gemini planets, Gemini Rising, or Gemini by house in your chart, this episode is your invitation to reclaim your voice, own your story, and harness your power to engage.
