  The Nodal Shift 2026: What North Node in Aquarius Means for Your Business with Sheri Moise 21.07.2026 59min

  On July 26, the lunar nodes shift signs for the first time since 2020. The North Node moves into Aquarius, the South Node into Leo, and I sit down with business astrologer Sheri Moise to break down what this means for your leadership, your business, and the next two years. We trace this shift back to 2007-2009, when social media exploded and Bitcoin was born, and we look at what history tells us about where we are headed this time. Sheri shares her financial cycle research and explains why decentralization keeps showing up at these moments. We talk about what it takes to move from seeking applause to contributing to the collective. This is one of the biggest astrological shifts of the decade, and I think every changemaker needs to understand it.

  Cancer New Moon 2026: Why Letting Your Guard Down Is a Power Move 13.07.2026 27min

  This Cancer New Moon lands inside a Mercury retrograde and a rare planetary pattern I call the cosmic cradle, and it is asking every leader to do something we do not usually associate with power: soften. In this episode, I break down why Cancer's real power is not the power to protect, it is the power to feel safe enough to actually feel. I map the astrology behind why this quiet New Moon is anything but, and I go sign by sign through what this New Moon is asking each of you to plant, now that the guard is finally down.

  Colorism, How We Get Free with Dr. Sarah L. Webb 01.07.2026 48min

  I sit down with Dr. Sarah Webb, founder of Colorism Healing and an internationally recognized expert on colorism, the day before her brand new book hits shelves. We talk about colorism as more than a social issue. To Sarah, it is soul work, ancestral work, the kind of healing that runs through generations. I pull up her natal chart and we trace her Chiron placement, the wounded healer, and how the very thing she struggled with most became the foundation of her life's purpose. We get into the courage it took for her to publish her very first blog post, the morning she woke up and finally heard "I love you" instead of fear, and the difference between fitting in and truly belonging. Sarah shares the story behind one of her most viral posts, the one she almost never wrote, and what it taught her about speaking up even when it is uncomfortable. This conversation moved me deeply, and I think it will move you too. If you have ever felt like the lowest version of yourself trying to fit into a family, a culture, or a community that was never built for your full self, this episode is for you.

  Mercury Retrograde in Cancer 2026: Re-Root Your Emotional Leadership 29.06.2026 58min

  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 23.06.2026 1u 5min

  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.

  What Chiron Reveals About the Gift in Your Leadership and Brand 16.06.2026 50min

  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.

  Blue Full Moon in Sagittarius - The Beliefs That Were Never Yours with Jackie McDonald 27.05.2026 20min

  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 20.05.2026 32min

  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.

  Taurus New Moon 2026: Uncolonize Your Worthiness 14.05.2026 51min

  Taurus New Moon May 16, 2026. New Moon ritual, intentions, and astrology for abundance, worthiness, and the trance of unworthiness. Star Powered® Podcast with Leslie Tagorda and special guest Jackie McDonald on EFT tapping for the New Moon. The Taurus New Moon on May 16, 2026 at 25° Taurus is asking us to embody our worthiness, our value, and the relaxed receptivity that real prosperity requires. In this New Moon ritual episode, I open up about the bumpy recovery I've been navigating, the way my sense of self worth tanked when I couldn't produce in the way my ambitious self wanted, and the radical acceptance medicine I needed to remember.

  Pluto Retrograde 2026 in Aquarius: How Reclamation Sparks Revolution Within 07.05.2026 42min

  Pluto stationed retrograde on May 5, 2026 at 5° Aquarius and stays retrograde through October 15 — moving only two degrees back to 3° Aquarius. But Pluto is a Mack truck. It doesn't shift gears overnight. This Rx medicine is still fresh. In this episode, I'm walking you through what this Pluto retrograde is really asking of us as leaders, changemakers, and wayfinders. The revolution starts inside of you.

  Scorpio Full Moon: What truth am I ready to reveal? 29.04.2026 34min

  Scorpio Full Moon — the perfect lunation to illuminate after the Aries New Moon. Both ruled by Mars' power. Aries moves us toward our desires. Scorpio moves us toward revealing our deep fears. The Aries New Moon invited us to see that desire is leadership, that we have to claim our desires, and that if our desires don't scare us a bit, they aren't big enough. Then Uranus moved into Gemini, a generational shift forcing us to get comfortable with uncertainty. And now, the Scorpio Full Moon is shining the light on the truths that keep us from reaching for our desires and clinging to the past instead of embracing inevitable change. In this episode, we go Scorpio Moon deep to tap into Scorpio's power and reveal what's truly holding you back from your leadership. To do the big change-making things that make you a leader requires the deep inner work to reveal the shadows that are still calling the shots. Then I'll teach you Pema Chödrön's Tonglen — a Tibetan Buddhist breathing practice that uses what seems like poison as medicine. In four counts of a breath, you'll walk the parallel path your leadership actually requires: inner awakening and outer impact, happening at once. Be prepared to go deep. To breathe differently than you've been taught. And to reveal what's truly blocking you from your luminary leadership.

  Uranus re-enters Gemini 2026 - Shake up your Circles 21.04.2026 1u 7min

  Every 84 years, Uranus enters Gemini — and every time it does, the world breaks open a new way to communicate and fight for freedom. The printing press. The telegraph. The computer. Now AI. This time is different. Pluto is in Aquarius, dismantling old power structures and making room for something collective. The pattern is here — and I'm not letting it pass without naming it. In this episode, I trace the history of Uranus in Gemini across three major eras — the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, and World War II — to map what's coming for 2025–2033. I break down the Gemini archetype beyond its flattened binary, dig into why the US is especially impacted (natal Uranus at 8º Gemini), and walk you through how this transit moves through your houses and aspects your natal planets. The breakthrough has never belonged to the lone genius. It belongs to the collaborative. To the circle-shakers. To the ones willing to reach across the divide. So here's what I want you to sit with: How do you want to experience this breakthrough energy — and are you ready to shake up your circle?

  Aries New Moon: Desire is Leadership 14.04.2026 37min

  Desire comes from the stars — literally. The Latin root of "desire" means "to await what the stars will bring." So what happens when you suppress your desires and refuse to speak them out loud? You're not just playing small — you're turning away from your original design and leadership. This Aries New Moon on April 17 brings seven planets into Aries, and I want to show you how your desire is the key to your leadership, and how your devotion is the key to getting what you desire. This is the Aries New Moon of all Aries New Moons. No planets in retrograde. Everything is full steam ahead. The cosmos is asking you: do you know what you desire and are you brave enough to take action?

  Full Moon in Libra 2026: Relationships as Mirrors 28.03.2026 19min

  The Full Moon in Libra arrives on April 1st, and all eyes are on relationships. In this special collaboration episode, I sit down with my favorite EFT tapping queen Jackie McDonald (Wildly Wealthy Woman Podcast) to break down everything you need to know about this powerful full moon — and how to work with its energy instead of against it.

  Why I Built the Circle — And Why Right Now Is the Time to Join 23.03.2026 35min

  I just got back from New York City — performing with my woodwind quintet, meeting astrology royalty, co-hosting an Aries equinox party with Colin Bedell (Queer Cosmos) and Ophira Edut of the Astro Twins — and I came home more certain than ever: we are meant to connect right now. In this episode, I'm sharing everything honestly. The mistakes I made with Circle in 2025. The thyroid cancer diagnosis that brought it all into focus. The second surgery I have coming up next month. And why — in the middle of all of this — I am rebuilding Star Powered® Circle from the inside out and inviting you in. Because we are living through something that asks us to be in community. Institutions are cracking. Structures are shifting. And the three nutrients we all need right now — wellness, joy, and connection — are exactly what Circle was built to hold. Star Powered® Circle 4.0 opens March 26. There's a book, an app, a UAC conference appearance, and a global movement building. Circle members catch this wave first. This is your sign.

  Sun enters Aries 2026 - Live Out Loud 18.03.2026 39min

  This is your third and most potent New Year celebration of 2026, the truest fresh start, and the stars are done letting you sit on the sidelines. The Sun enters Aries at the exact same time Mercury stations direct, and this energy is asking you to stop reimagining and start living your dream - out loud! In this episode I'm breaking down what Aries energy really is and how to reclaim it even if you have zero Aries in your chart, why the equinox is a moment of balance and bridging, and how to take action on everything you reimagined during Mercury Retrograde. I'm also walking you through two rare conjunctions happening right after the Ingress. Sun conjunct Neptune in Aries on March 22 is the first in 164 years — your genius meets your soul. Sun conjunct Saturn in Aries on March 25 is the first in 30 years — your mastery is ready to lead. This is your moment to harness the universe's powerful pulse and charge ahead fearlessly.

  Jupiter Direct in Cancer 2026: Expanding Your Emotional Capacity for Impactful Leadership 08.03.2026 30min

  You may think that to have more impact, more success, and more growth requires you to become tougher. That is so far from the truth. Now that Jupiter is coming to a stop to change directions forward in its exalted sign of Cancer, the stars are inviting you into something more powerful than tough — emotional capacity. The thing I have seen over and over again is that your external reach is limited only by your internal safety. What would you say 'yes' to if you trusted your capacity to hold the emotional weight of your own success? And how is Jupiter direct in Cancer inviting you to swing your pendulum higher? In this episode, Leslie explores why your "internal hearth" is the key to your next big leap in leadership. We dive into the mechanics of Jupiter's forward motion in Cancer and how you can architect a foundation of safety that allows for true, lasting expansion.
