    Visioning vs. Goal Setting: Why the Old Way Isn't Working

    Ever set a goal or resolution at the beginning of the year…only to forget it by February? Or feel like something's wrong with you when you don't follow through? This doesn't mean you're undisciplined or uncommitted. In this episode of the Star Powered® Podcast, I explore why goals function a lot like predictions, they're binary, fixed, and rigid. They work for short-term planning and sprint cycles, but when you're looking out at the year ahead, especially in times of change, a goal won't orient you. What you need is a vision. A vision invites direction without certainty.
It creates space for possibility and surprise. And it keeps you in relationship with where you're going, even as the path twists, turns, and unfolds. Astrology is your tool to understand where opportunity and timing are available so you can work with the energy instead of fighting against it.

    Capricorn New Moon 2026: Owning Your Expertise & Authority with Jackie McDonald

    In this first episode of our new monthly Moon collaboration, Leslie Tagorda and Jackie McDonald come together to explore the Capricorn New Moon on January 18 and its powerful invitation to own your authority, trust your lived experience, and stop giving your power away to external systems, credentials, or expectations. Capricorn energy is often misunderstood as rigid, heavy, or obligation-driven…but in this conversation, we reframe Capricorn as a deeply embodied, earthy, feminine force that helps you commit to what matters most. This New Moon is about remembering what's already in your bones…your wisdom, resilience, and earned expertise.

  4. The Ambition Trap with Amina AlTai

    The Ambition Trap with Amina AlTai

    In this episode, I get to sit down with someone I felt instantly connected to the moment I heard her speak on stage — executive coach, leadership trainer, and author Amina AlTai. When she said, "I lead with the shadow," I beelined straight to her after her talk because I knew you needed to hear her story. In our conversation, we dive into her new book The Ambition Trap and unpack how our core wounds — rejection, abandonment, humiliation, betrayal, and injustice — shape the masks we wear and the ways we overwork, overgive, and override our own bodies. Amina shares the story of the call that changed her life… the moment a doctor told her she was days away from multiple organ failure and how that crisis sparked her entire healing path. Her story hit so close to home.  I also share how my recent thyroid cancer diagnosis — and the surprising realization that it wasn't about "not speaking up," but about how I was speaking to myself. Together, we explore ambition from an uncolonized, trauma-informed lens, weaving her frameworks with astrology: Chiron as the wound that becomes the gift, Saturn's lessons in mastery, the Moon as our emotional needs and regulation, and how our charts reveal where fear and purpose intersect. If you've ever felt like you're "too much and not enough" at the same time… if you've pushed your body past its limits… if you're navigating fear, burnout, or untangling yourself from painful ambition… this episode will meet you exactly where you are. This conversation is powerful, healing, and deeply human. You don't want to miss it.

    Scorpio New Moon & Mercury Retrograde Cazimi: Burning Away the Illusion

    This energy invites us to look beneath the surface… pierce the veil… and dissolve the limiting beliefs that keep us from caring for ourselves, building capacity, and taking meaningful leaps toward our purpose. While many astrologers focus on prediction (and yes, we're all wondering what will happen when the Epstein files drop), I share why I don't find prediction useful, and how it can actually give away your power. Astrology isn't here to tell you what will happen. It's here to invite you into an energy… and give you the free will to decide how you want to work with it. This Scorpio New Moon + Mercury Rx midpoint is your moment to: Rewire your beliefs Break cycles that aren't yours Burn away old illusions Reconnect to your purpose and joy Build the nourishment and capacity you need to lead Practice doing things differently Honor the gifts that came from your past challenges I walk you through a powerful Scorpio ritual to identify where your limiting beliefs come from, thank them for the protection they once offered, reclaim the strength born from those experiences, and safely burn the illusions that are no longer aligned with who you're becoming. This is your invitation to do the shadow work, attune to your truth, and move toward your purpose with courage, clarity, and care. If you're ready to explore your chart, your purpose, and your Star Powered® leadership, learn more at starpowered.com.
