 Harnessing Intuition and Intelligence: The Key to Successful Entrepreneurial Decision-Making 

  • Introduction

In this fast-paced and high-stress world of entrepreneurship, making solid decisions is paramount to your success. By understanding decision levels and identifying your intuitive approach, you can navigate the complexities of decision-making with confidence and clarity. Fostering a balanced approach to decision-making, you can harness the power of intuition and intelligence to drive impactful and sustainable business growth.

Studies have shown you make 35,000 decisions every day.*

That number is overwhelming to contemplate, never mind to actually process. You’re in a constant state of decision – never getting relief from making them. In most cases, you have too many decisions to make without enough time or information to make them.

As a business owner, making decisions without all of the information is a constant pressure and one you have to deal with on a daily basis. In fact, you’re pressed to make multiple decisions at any given moment.

To add to this complexity, stressors escalate when you’re in transformative or growth mode AND when dealing with unfamiliar territory.

In growing your business, you’re always in growth or transformation mode AND you’re regularly dealing with things you do NOT know. Everything is…

growth.

unfamiliar. 

a decision.

Ay caramba!  Talk about stress!

As an entrepreneur, you’re constantly looking to save time, money and energy, so making good decisions is imperative. In fact, making valid decisions is #5 out of the top 10 problems facing entrepreneurs today.

So, decisions, decisions, decisions.

Your mind is bombarded with decisions every minute of every day. However, most decisions don’t require more than the typical process of identifying, gathering, assessing, choosing and acting. The process is so smooth and fast, it almost bypasses conscious thought.

Your mind can effectively process the mundane, daily and task-oriented decisions.

Yet, when decisions reach a certain level, you must rely on more than your mind to make solid decisions and stick with them.

Let’s look at the decision levels in their typical and atypical process and then dive into using your intuition for decision-making. It’s one of your most effective business tools, so let’s not leave it out of your toolbox.  

Typical Decisions for Business

For the past 25 years, I’ve supported business leaders and in the boardroom, I developed the 3 corridors of leadership with the first one being decision-making. When you assess the level of the decision, you can set up your best decision-making criteria.

With the levels of decisions, strategic, operational and task also known as daily, let’s set up a framework for making the decisions you need to make for your business.

Strategic (Leadership)

Definition: Major decisions that are high-level, multi-year and impactful across multiple areas. These are broad sweeping and big picture; $10k+

This level of decision is at the leadership level. You’re required to act as a leader, keeping in mind the mission, vision and values of your business. The purview is beyond your current state – future-oriented with an outside scope. You’ll have to create a communication and buy-in process and construct a method to implement these decisions into your company or industry. 

Examples: Business strategic plan, name, mission, vision, values, philosophy and approach, business culture, pricing strategy and offering mix, brand messaging and voice, organizational structure, profit strategy, strategic partners

Best criteria: Determine how each strategic decision affects you and your business. Are you making this particular decision to increase your revenues, thereby seeking opportunity and extending yourself or your business? Are you making this particular decision to improve your bottom line, therefore solidifying the foundation; anchoring you or your business at the core?   

Operational (Management)

Definition: Operational decisions involve milestones, goals, targets, objectives and systems; planning, structure; decisions that affect over months, not years; $5k – 10k

This level of decision is at the management level. You’re required to act as a manager, focusing on your resources and results. The purview is within your organization with an internal benefit.

Examples: Client roster, marketing and sales strategy, launch and promotional plans, organizational positions and roles, networking plans and groups, systems platforms, staffing – hiring, promoting, firing; CRM parameters, pipeline management, communication style, optimize, streamline and assess growth options

Best criteria: Identify how each decision supports you, your team, structure or business methods. The focus is not only on the people, but the work itself. These decisions are…

refining, optimizing, fortifying with the common denominator being supportive. 

confined to the current or past state of being with the intention of making things better. 

improvement based. 

Ask yourself how will the decision make things easier, faster, smoother?

Task (Individual contribution)

Definition: Minor decisions, routine and short-term; involve weekly or daily issues. These decisions have little or short-lived impact. With others, these decisions involve tiny offers, promotions, short-term connections, affiliate partners.

Examples: Administrative responsibilities, to-do’s, product fulfillment, client delivery, delegation, calendar, calls, emails, follow-up communication, execute CRM, social media posting; up to $5k

Best criteria: These decisions shouldn’t involve more effort, angst or time than their respective impact. Little impact of the decision and the effort to weight that decision should be relatively equal. Imagine spending hours, lots of money and a great deal of creativity on individual social media posts. Would the benefit outweigh the effort? That depends if said social media posts were part of an overall marketing and sales strategy. Thereby making these individual social media posts part of a operational or strategic decision.

Intuition Decision-making for Business

When a decision requires it, your mind should be put into the back seat and your intuition should be adopted to assist in the decision-making process. Particularly for the initial start-up process for a new business, division or service-line or for a pivot or sweeping changes in your business model.

This requires a complete interruption to the normal or typical decision-making process. Think about VIP days, off-sites, retreats, work-based conferences or workshops. You put time aside outside of your normal element to allow your mind to expand. At times, you may also involve alignment with your mind, heart and will to tap into your intuition.

Decide whether you’d like to incorporate this type of time and space creation to make operational decisions.

My advice is to do this when you’re in a particularly intense transformative or growth mode or when under undue stress.

Relying on your intuition requires you building your intuitive muscle. If you don’t, you may make rash or worse, ineffective decisions. Developing your intuition is necessary to leverage as a business tool.

Read about developing your intuition to become rich and powerful in my article on C-suite network

One of the first steps in using your intuition is understanding your intuitive approach. The different intuitive approaches either initiate through your mind, heart or your will. You can refer to each one to determine your intuitive approach.

Analyzer

Your mind loves to analyze, so your best bet is to combine your thoughts with your intuitive nudges. You ease your mental faculty by giving it what is wants. Put easy work in front of you that requires light analysis and then let it wander. Analyze without any intent to derive answers. Take a few deep breaths and then ask, “how is my intuition talking to me?”

To stay present, continue with your breath and pay attention how your intuition speaks to you. If you feel connected, ask about a minor decision and see what presents itself. 

When you’re practiced, you can increase the impact of the decision and ask your intuition about each one. Remember to separate decisions. This isn’t a one-to-many exercise.

Knower

You’re guided by internal compass without any input that sees, hears or feels. This knowing is the easiest to use once you’ve connected to it, but the most difficult to believe. Find a way that aligns your mind, heart and will.

Once you’re aligned or centered, let yourself fall into relaxation and then ask questions without any intent to receive answers. Take a few deep breaths and then ask, “what does my intuition want me to know?”

To stay present, continue with your breath and pay attention. If you feel connected, ask about a minor decision and see what presents itself. 

When you’re practiced, you can increase the impact of the decision and ask your intuition about each one. Remember to separate decisions. This isn’t a one-to-many exercise.

Observer

Observe what interests you without any intent. You can soften your gaze and let yourself become balanced and centered. Take a few deep breaths and then ask, “how are my observations talking to me? What captures my attention?”

To stay present, continue with your breath and pay attention how your observations speak to you. If you feel connected, ask about a minor decision and see what presents itself. 

When you’re practiced, you can increase the impact of the decision and ask your intuition about each one. Remember to separate decisions. This isn’t a one-to-many exercise.

Instinctive

Your intuition works immediately and you take action on your first and initial hit only. Let’s extend this as your instinct is a doorway into your intuition.

Your initial impression is great for yes and no answers, but doesn’t continue into the nuances of the way your intuition likes to connect with you.

After your initial ‘’hit’ and take a few deep breaths and then ask, “how is my intuition talking to me?”

To stay present, continue with your breath and pay attention how your intuition speaks to you. If you feel connected, ask about a minor decision and see what presents itself. 

When you’re practiced, you can increase the impact of the decision and ask your intuition about each one. Remember to separate decisions. This isn’t a one-to-many exercise.

As you’re reading, if you’re questioning which intuitive approach is yours, click here to take my Do You Know, Like and trust Yourself® 12-question quiz and whitelist my email address to get all of your tips and business tools to use your intuition in business. 

Empathizer

When you’re alone, you can access your intuition when you drop into something that interests you. This usually requires active movement or indulging your senses. You can write, draw, play music, walk or follow others’ emotional responses. Additionally, you can also connect with others’ emotions.

When making decisions that won’t affect anyone but yourself, fall into activity that engages your mind as described above.

When making decisions that require others, get connected to a few of those people who’ll be impacted by the decision. Be careful to stay in your own energy in order to prevent being overcome by others’ desires.

Either way, take a few deep breaths and then ask, “how does my intuition want to talk to me?”

To stay present, continue with your breath and pay attention how your intuition speaks to you. If you feel connected, ask about a minor decision and see what presents itself. 

When you’re practiced, you can increase the impact of the decision and ask your intuition about each one. Remember to separate decisions. This isn’t a one-to-many exercise.

Perceiver

Perceivers push their intuitive responses into the world, so require others to be present in order to read their energy. This isn’t always the best way to approach your intuition when making decisions, unless those individuals are impacted by that decision.

When alone, you can push your energy into the world around you – perhaps out in nature or someplace you’ve meditated or connected often. The energy available to you will be potent with intuitive whispers. 

When you’ve collected yourself, take a few deep breaths and ask, “how is my intuition talking to me right now?”

To stay present, continue with your breath and pay attention how your intuition is speaking to you in this moment. If you feel connected, ask about a minor decision and see what presents itself. 

When you’re practiced, you can increase the impact of the decision and ask your intuition about each one. Remember to separate decisions. This isn’t a one-to-many exercise.

For more information about using your intuition in decision-making, listen to my podcast episode to combine your intuition with your intelligence, which holds even more ways to make more effective decisions.  

Bottom Line

You’re required to make an inordinate number of decisions every day as a business owner of a growing business. Using your intuition for operational and strategic decisions helps you make solid ones that increase your top and bottom lines.

Harvesting the Moonlight: Strategic Ways to Channel Full Moon Energies for Business Growth

The Sun and the Moon provide massive power for success when you know how to use the Full Moon Energies to grow your business.

In this segment, I’m covering the Full Moon energies.

Full Moon Quick Tips for Business

The Full Moon signals completion, culmination and celebration. In order to use the Full Moon’s energy for your business, use its energy to:

  • Fine tune your strategy – The Full Moon is a great time to take stock and determine your next best steps. Take note of any course correction and streamlining you want to pursue.
  • Complete projects – The culmination energy helps you complete those things you haven’t quite yet been able to finish. Use this energy to brings things across the finish line.
  • Celebrate your successes and accomplishments – The Full Moon is a time to take stock and gather your energy for achievement. Boost morale to set the tone for positivity for the next lunar cycle.
  • Charge your tools – The Full Moon is a wonderful energy to charge your magical tools and these can include your natural gifts and talents. Hone in on your skills and offer these to the Full Moon too.
  • Network and community build – It’s a great time for outreach as everyone wants to get together due to heighten emotion and connection. Make time to get together or at least talk to those on your list who you’ve been trying to get ahold of for the last few days or weeks.

Let’s delve deeper.

Cycle of the Full Moon

The Full Moon is the culmination of your intentions every month. On the Full Moon, you have the largest range of energy available to you than you do any other time during the month.

You set your intentions on the New Moon and build the creation of these intentions for 14 days until the Full Moon.

On the Full Moon, you assess your position based on your intended desires and then determine what you’d like to get rid of to create space to allow these new intended desires into your life.

Think about this.

Before you go shopping, you want to make sure you have space in your closet for your new purchases. If you don’t cull your closet, you’ll bring your new lovely things home and have to stuff them in without any space – perhaps you lose track or forget about them.

Without space, you’re signaling to the Universe, new purchases don’t mean anything to you. If this happens repeatedly, the universe pulls back its energy on your desire to manifest.

Pretend you’re the closet.

If you don’t have any space, you won’t be able to manifest more.

So, on the Full Moon take a few moments to take stock, celebrate what you’ve created and determine what you want to get rid of to make space for the new.

The next 2 weeks until the New Moon is about releasing and healing to make space.

Full Moon Ceremony

Take these 5 steps during the Full Moon to celebrate YOU.

  1. Note the astrological signs of the Sun and the Moon.

When you know the astrological or zodiac signs of the Sun and Moon, you understand the meaning of their energies. Every Full Moon has the Sun at 180° opposition to the Moon and their signs create momentum for you to gain awareness and to remove any blocks you have in these areas.

2. Pause and reflect how these Sun and Moon signs can help you clear the pathway to your success by asking these 3 questions:

  • What can I do to use the Sun’s energy and meaning to stop hiding?
  • How does the Moon’s power support me in feeling safe enough to achieve my success?
  • Who and what am I grateful for in my life?

 🌟Harnessing the Energy of Mercury Retrograde: 8 Powerful Business Tips 🌟

Hello Star Lovelies,

Welcome to a new dimension of business strategy!

“Oh no, my computer has crashed.”

“He hasn’t received any of my texts or emails.”

“We need to reschedule this meeting and it’s been rescheduled more than once already.”

“My train/plane/bus is delayed – again!”

Yes, this is the quintessential Mercury in retrograde period. When I tell people it’s happening, I hear gasps and groans.

BUT, we can actually use Mercury retrograde to our advantage in business. Because, yes, all of the stars, even Mercury, are conspiring for our success.  

The planets actually have so much to say to us if we only listen and Mercury is the most loquacious. He darts and dives around the Sun 3 times a year and each time, when it looks like he’s running backward, it’s known as the dreaded Mercury Retrograde.

Poor Mercury! He’s only trying to help and he wants us to know how we can use these periods to boost our businesses.

Business Tips

Here are 8 powerful business tips to not just survive, but thrive during Mercury retrograde:

  1. Revamping Strategy: Everything is up for (re) in this period – think review, refine, reassess, release. It’s a time to revisit or revamp, so let’s embrace this period as an opportunity to review business strategies and fine-tune goals to emerge stronger as Mercury shifts gears.
  2. Reigniting Customer Loyalty: Reengage with clients and reach out to former clients or partners who’ve fallen off the radar. Mercury retrograde encourages us to reimagine connections and rediscover opportunities.
  3. Making Small Decisions: This isn’t the time for major decisions as we’ll regret what we’ve been so firm about during the retrograde period. Mercury is a trickster as he wants us to slow down to ensure we’re building a strong foundation. He clouds judgment, so using this time for research, planning and groundwork is our best bet.
  4. Unleashing Creativity: In retrograde, Mercury is asking us how we can be more creative. He wants us to drop into our hearts and feel our passion. This doesn’t necessarily mean we need to pick up our paint brushes or musical instruments. It means we get to brainstorm fresh ideas, innovative new offerings and imagine solutions to longstanding challenges.
  5. Energizing Vision: We get to restore our vision with a fresh new perspective, find deeper meaning to our mission and/or realign with our higher purpose. This is exciting and reigniting if we reach for our patience and allow new ideas to unfold. It’s an unfurling, not a lightning bolt epiphany.
  6. Being Flexible: Change and change again is Mercury’s cosmic dance, reminding us that pivoting gracefully when unexpected challenges arise makes us shine. By going with the flow, we can define our intent without expectations. As we commit without trying to control the outcome, we actually increase our prosperity flow.
  7. Clearing Communication Pathways: Knowing misunderstandings are more prevalent, we can lead the way by taking the time to foster communications within our communities, replenish connections and fine-tune collaborations. Laying out step-by-step goals, guidelines or procedures is very Mercury retrograde.
  8. Getting Intuitive: Mercury wants us to see, know and hear without using our minds. Yup – this is his mission when he stations retrograde. Our challenge, should we choose to accept it, is to spend time in meditation, reflection and introspection. We can get to know ourselves better, more intimately, to become stronger in our convictions, deepen our passions and position our businesses properly within our niche or industry.

All this being said, Mercury retrograde isn’t kind to anything new or big. However, sometimes we have to sign a contract, negotiate or start something new during a retrograde period. My best advice is to double and triple check on both sides. We don’t want someone to think they’re getting something we haven’t offered or vice versa. Taking extra caution, dotting i’s and crossing t’s laboriously, is the way through these retrograde periods.

Also, if we have a launch or promotion that has to happen during a Mercury retrograde period, recognize it’s not going to be the rocket blast we may desire. It’ll be a slower, longer curve, so I always say, plan for a longer lead in and an extra-long tail. Doing an elegant outreach campaign is excellent positioning for the way of the future.

It’s collaboration, collaboration, collaboration that clears our pathways for expanding our influence and making big impact. 

Using Mercury retrograde periods to teach us patience for clarity in goals, communication and connection, puts us in the driver’s seat for the future.

Mercury may be a trickster, but he has our best interests at heart.

Mark Your Calendar!

We’re in the midst of another Mercury retrograde period until mid-September, but never fear, another one is only a few months away. 😬

Mercury Retrograde Dates

August 23 – September 15, 2023

December 13 to January 1, 2024

April 1 – 25, 2024

August 4 – 28, 2024

November 25 – December 15, 2024

For Geminis and Virgos, extend these periods a handful of days before and after each date range – no matter which year. In 2023, Capricorns and Taurians need to do this as well. In 2024, the fire signs are impacted the most, so those in Aries, Leo and Sagittarius are going to join the Geminis and Virgos in the extension periods.

Bottom Line

As leaders, it’s our role to harness the energy around us and transform it into positive momentum. Mercury retrograde is our chance to realign, rejuvenate, and revitalize our businesses. Let’s rise above the common narrative and use these cosmic tides to our advantage!

Stay tuned for more insightful updates to use the stars + strategy to clear the pathway to your success. I’m here to empower you with the knowledge and inspiration needed to lead your business to new heights.

Cheers to cosmic growth,

Navigating the Stars to Success: How Astrology Influences Economic Trends and Business Leadership Strategies

Trends

 

The first chapter of the New World begins on December 21, 2020 when the 800-year star shines brightest in the sky. It also signals the last chapter of the previous way. 

The decade of 2020 – 2030 is the transition between the old and new worlds. Everyone on Earth has chosen to be here at this time to help usher in these new energies. It’s the responsibility of every single individual on Earth. 

In late 2019, when I reviewed the entire decade, I wrote this about the next few years: 

“2023 – Acceleration of intolerance, racism, fascism, climate crisis”

“2024 – Edgy tensions, everything rises to the surface; uncomfortable and unfamiliar”

“2025 – Fiery advent into living in the new world; chaos breeds change”

That seems bleak, however, it’s merely a quick glance at what the stars are churning up for transformation. When the energies aren’t stirred, they remain beneath the surface and therefore, untouchable. The decades leading up to 2020 existed in denial, submission and obfuscation. 

All of that changes in this decade. 

It may appear too difficult to deal with, but again, you chose to be here at this time, doing these things, with these people. 

It’s your choice. 

After exploring the star timeline of this decade, the Plutonian movements of 2024 reveal a lot of edgy influence throughout the year.

Pluto is front and center of all trends. Pluto’s star story focuses on ways for you to find the hidden treasures of love, power and success by going through denial, overcoming reluctance and surmounting fear. Think of the phoenix as Pluto takes your hand and gives you the courage to remove the blocks and clear the pathways. 

On the world stage, Pluto moves the entire world from the institutional past to the individualized future through the energy shift from Capricorn to Aquarius. Dragging everyone from the comfort of the familiar to the uncertainty of the unknown brings freedom, inclusion and innovation or detachment, revolution and chaos. A combination of these is likely.   

Pluto’s ultimate quest is wholeness. 

The quote of Pluto should be, “Come into the darkness to see the light.” 

Diving deeply into your dark places without fear and with great resolve is the signature of Pluto. Transformation through death and rebirth is the catalyst for change and Pluto, the God of Hell, knows the intense plunge required to come out the other side. Using this key to fearlessness and empowerment helps you reclaim the parts of you that you’ve lost along your soul journey. 

The quest of Aquarius is the ideal. 

The quote for Aquarius should be, “Live and let live.”

The air sign of Aquarius, the Water Bearer, is a conundrum in his pursuit to include the whole world, yet detach from everyone. In his mission to set higher ideals, yet railing against conformity. In his journey to be original, while yearning for approval. 

With Pluto, everything is systemic. With Aquarius, everything is worldwide. No one is immune to the Pluto drag between Aquarius and Capricorn. Due to retrogrades, Pluto dances between Aquarius and Capricorn for about 18 months until traveling through Aquarius for 20 years.  

With Pluto in Aquarius, the world experiences an unending quest for discovery, invention and challenging the status quo. The world champions the truth of inclusion, freedom and service, while grass roots style movements celebrate social and environmental justice. Escaping the tyranny of authoritarianism and tradition is possible. 

Yet, change for the sake of change and constancy for the new and novel may bring unexpected consequences. Doubt, detachment and revolution accompany revelation and wonder. Liberation requires admitting, reconciling and freeing the oppressed. 

The key to negotiating both possible outcomes is to pursue the future without losing the heart of humanity and its need for connection. 

Applying this star navigation to business trends also involves the integration of economic levers and industry movements. The astrological indications are that the global impacts of autocratic leaders inhibit natural growth with their isolationist stature, ineffective true leadership and aggressive infiltration into other nations and their interests.

Economic Levers

The economic levers of monetary and fiscal policy of the super power first world nations, China, United States and the Middle Eastern Block, parlay into softening or amplifying the star navigation interpretation. 

The global economy is not going to expand as a whole as it has over the last 30 years. The instability over the next handful of years jerks the economic trends out of their natural trajectory. The monetary policy of an unnatural goal of 2.5% inflation flatten economic growth unnecessarily. The increase in interest rates so far, although too aggressive in timing, have positively impacted consumer confidence, savings tendencies and resupplying the money supply. 

The fiscal policies of the super power nations of China, United States and the Middle Eastern Block, are critical to exploring the health of the global economy. 

China isn’t going to fuel high growth in the next few years, so the economic impact on global trade is a lowering of overall world growth. China’s debt is too high and its leaders aren’t inclined to use government funds to boost GDP. 

The United States isn’t in a financial position to fuel any growth backed by government funding and even with the funds, the paralysis in congress negates its ability to act.  

The Middle Eastern Block relies on fossil fuels and as long as the world is dependent on them, its economy will continue to bust through expectations. However, there isn’t any government funding policy to help the nation’s economy. Only private entities benefit from growth. 

Overall, growth will be lower or stagnant in the next handful of years. 

Industry movements

Innovations in the science and technology fields continue to explode as well as significant growth is predicted in the New Age and climate sustainability industries for different reasons. New Age gets a boost due to Pluto entering Aquarius, making everyone interested in the esoteric. 

Climate sustainability is absolutely necessary with weather and climate events escalating for the foreseeable future. Investments in this area continue to increase.

Space engineering and engineering in general increase ahead of the overall business growth curve.

Leadership Tools

Effective leadership is imperative to get ahead in the business world during this decade. The ever-increasing reliance on remote work, decentralized business functions and third-party suppliers makes strategic decisions and operational work flows critical to business success.

Leadership, by definition, is commanding a group, organization or country and the five components of leadership are: 

  1.  Creating a vision
  2.  Encouraging the change
  3. Motivating the team
  4. Developing the system
  5. Celebrating your success

Great leaders have the ability to identify their strengths and hire and motivate others to shore-up their relative weaknesses. They also know how to connect to people’s heart and souls as well as their minds to foster sustainable growth. 

Given the star power for a new type of leadership, that combining the Divine Feminine with the Divine Masculine, creates space for women in leadership never before available.

Astrology has indicated that now is the time for feminine leadership. Let’s use astrology to stay ahead of the trends.  

Follow this space to be on the leading edge.

3 Ways to Make Money, Be More Visible and Align with Your Soul Purpose in 2024

  • Industry titans like Amazon and visionary entrepreneurs are leveraging astrology to thrive in their ventures. According to prestigious sources like NY Times, Fast Company and Fortune, astrology has woven its way into corporate culture, capturing the attention of Millennials and Gen Z – 65% of whom are ardent followers.

Most people who follow astrology know about the ability to use the stars to forecast the timing of events for industry trends, economic cycles and seasonal rhythms. This is the first layer of astrology. There are actually other ways to use astrology, that most people aren’t familiar with, yet are the most impactful for your life and business.  As JP Morgan states, “Millionaires don’t use astrology, billionaires do.”

When you know all of the ways to use astrology for business, otherwise known as stars + strategy, you can gain more ease, support and resources.

Way 1: MAKE MORE MONEY

Star navigation through forecasting is an excellent tool for avoiding pitfalls highlighted by the stars and taking powerful advantage of the prosperous stars. You can use star navigation to:

  • Set strategy – overall themes, intentions, powers and seasons
  • Planning – timing for launches, promotions, streamlining, creating, vacationing
  • Gain resources – use cycles for time and energy management

Using star navigation, you can make more money by knowing the BEST times to promote and you can save time and money by avoiding the worst times.

Way 2: BE MORE VISIBLE

Star power: Using the stars helps you turn any blocks that are holding you back from your success into building blocks to create your success.

When you open to the star energies, you can rely on their flow and commit to your growth. Your ability to remove the blocks to your success is boosted by the planetary movements. Using the Sun and the Moon positions help you release blocks and manifest your desires. Using personal planets, such as Mercury and Venus, help you attract your followers and communicate with your audience. Mars helps you take action in a variety of ways and Jupiter is your good luck charm.

Discovering how to use the stars to remove blocks is the key to becoming more visible to shine your brilliance.   

Way 3: ALIGN WITH SOUL PURPOSE

Star alignment, or how you’re living your stars, measures how your free will deviates or supports you on your soul journey.  Knowing where you are on your star path helps you determine your best next steps.

Measuring how you’re leveraging the stars is realized through my success-making Do You Know, Like and Trust Yourself ® methodology to help you achieve your life purpose, step into your power and increase your prosperity.

Here’s what your mind does; it gauges how you know yourself.  Your heart indicates how you like yourself and your will demonstrates how you trust yourself. It identifies what you think, how you make decisions and why you align with your soul mission.

  • When you know yourself, you stop second-guessing your decisions and start following your intuition.

Your heart demonstrates how you like yourself, what your particular wisdom is and ways to say YES to accept support and say yes to opportunities.  

  • When you like yourself, you stop seeking outside validation and start reclaiming your power.

Your will indicates how you trust yourself and whether you accept individual, collective and universal gifts.

  • When you trust yourself, you stop experiencing lack through inconsistent success and start living your birthright of being rich and powerful, making big impact and leaving your legacy.
Bottom line, you can use star alignment to:
  • Align your mind – know how you’re living your stars and handling your resources
  • Remove blocks – like how star energy integrates with your soul’s energy for clearing your pathway
  • Manifest desires – trust your star imprint to boost your ability to create the life you want
