Star Powered®- Astrology for Changemakers with Leslie Tagorda

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 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 — 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.

Divine timing, I'm recording this on my emergence day as the sun crosses my ascendant at Gemini 22° - I share with you a new belief, a new energy and reflections for this Super Full Moon in Sagittarius. This full moon integrates energies of the Total eclipse at the same degree in December 2020, our recent Mercury Rx and our current Saturn Rx. It's all in divine timing. And Divine timing is wondering if you believe in yourself. If you do, all your possibilities are possible. If you can't believe in the possibility of your vision, I'm sorry to say, it is guaranteed to not become a reality. Harness this Full Moon to illuminate what limiting self beliefs you need to let go and what beliefs come reality need celebration.

Better late than never, I'm sharing the January highlights. The energy is so supportive of stretching into the New Year to try on your new values and create spacious support for your long-term goals aka ultimate mission. I also share 2 big takeaways I've noticed from AstroBrand™ clients this week that I invite you to ponder. Lastly we go through the business forecast for this coming work week.

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.

In the midst of chaos, beauty can emerge. We have an opportunity now to reinvent ourselves and our businesses for the next evolution. It's a time of rebirth, and Aries energy will support us. While many of us are sheltering in place we can get creative and use our entrepreneurial initiative to update our businesses for the new economy. It's the start of the astrological new year, so we are prime for rebirth - even if we are stuck at home, partners, kids and all.
