About the show

Star Powered® is the evolution and expansion of the conversation begun in The Savvy Luminary podcast where we explore the intersection of astrology, changemaking, leadership and the intuitive revolution. Through New Moon rituals to set intentions that drive your Work forward, to monthly Biz StarCasts that allow for conscious working with the celestial energies, to power building interviews with other spiritual thought leaders, Star Powered™ aims to create a dialog so changemakers can feel secure and inspired in their star powers to lead by their chart and create the future they want to see. Hosted by Hawaii-born Jewish Filipino Astrologer, Leslie Tagorda. Through healing her Chiron wound around leadership and identity, she's a professional classical clarinetist, author, podcast host, designer, and the creator of the AstroBrand™ method. She helps changemakers become the luminary leaders they are born to be.

Astrology Was Colonized Too

What if astrology was colonized too? In this episode I trace colonial mentality back to my Ilocano grandmother in Hawaii, the plantation caste system, and the Hawaiian sovereignty movement, then connect it to the real history of Johannes Kepler and Galileo as court astrologers before what I call the Great Separation. I get into why astrology got pushed out because it was bad for business, not because it was wrong, and I share the eight ways I decolonize how I practice and teach astrology today. If you have ever felt like parts of your chart were "in fault," this one is for you.

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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).

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?
