We once again find ourselves at the last quarter of the year, closer and closer to 2023. As an entrepreneur, this means gearing up to think about what you want to accomplish before this year ends and the new one begins.

Ever feel like you are constantly running on the hamster wheel as an entrepreneur and no matter what you do, you can’t get off? Chances are, the answer lies in whether your feminine and masculine energy are balanced.

As the Sun moves from Virgo into Libra, the collective focus shifts from creating organized systems and processes to a desire for refining and perfecting. Virgo gave you the tools to build your structure, Libra wants you to make that structure pretty.

Astrologically, the Moon represents our emotions and deep rooted (sometimes hidden) soul needs. On its daily travels, it reflects the mood of the day depending on where it is in the monthly cycle. It takes approximately 28 days to complete a cycle through all 12 zodiac signs and spends about 2.5 days in each sign.

If you choose to take the view that anything unexpected or inconvenient that happens is the worst thing ever, you are in for a rough time. But if you make a choice to instead embrace it as an opportunity to look deeper, you are in for a magical - if not exciting - time.

Studies have shown that working more and harder actually kills productivity and creativity - the 2 things I was trying to excel at. Because hustle by its very definition insists on a relentless, non-stop approach, exhaustion creeps in. Yet we still try to force ourselves to keep going. Which means less quality work and absolutely no room for any new creative ideas.

The Moon has no light of her own but she is still considered powerful. She reflects the light of the Sun, which some may see as passive and/or submissive. But I suddenly saw her as receptive, a key feminine quality that so many of us as entrepreneurs completely ignore.

Knowing where the Sun is at any given time helps you plan the business activities that will best harness the cosmic energy.  The idea is to work with - not against - the energy so you can flow with ease rather than slave to the usual hustle and grind.  And if you want to get even more granular as to how to plan your month / year, knowing where that Sun falls in your own unique birth chart will do wonders for aligning yourself with the universe.  

For too long, we have bought into the narrative that success as an entrepreneur equals sold out launches, fully booked calendars and being constantly in demand. All this means to me is a recipe where you will never have all the necessary ingredients in stock.

Yet, among entrepreneurs, there is a prevailing belief that there is only one way of doing things.  One way to show up.  One avenue to success.  All the branding photos look the same.  Instagram posts fit a certain mold for viral views.  We are inundated with vanilla, polite and boring videos of why we should buy.  

Explore the underpinnings of desire to attain freedom and live in permanent full authentic self-expression. As I unravel my own longings, I will devise an action plan for all of us to find the courage to be ourselves.

The important thing to note about seasons is that each one brings a different cosmic energy with it and knowing how to harness that specific energy is the key to balance and flow as a business owner. Knowing the activities that make sense to do in your business helps you focus on flow and ease rather than forcing things just to check a box and the resulting frustration from doing this on a regular basis.

Gifting yourself the opportunity of learning to work with your natural rhythms is a beautiful thing and one that not many entrepreneurs do. It’s only because they haven’t experienced the spiritual and emotional fulfillment that honoring all parts of yourself gives you. I promise you, it will change everything.

It’s no secret that having a certain type of mindset helps your success. You can easily determine where yours is by taking a second to pay attention to your thoughts. But what a lot of us believe is that outside forces determine our mindset and we are pretty powerless to change it.

Three to four times a year for about three weeks at a time, Mercury stops moving forward in its usual path around the Sun and starts going backward. It also has what is called a shadow period which extends a week before and a week after - a kind of precursor and afterburn.

When you pay attention to your intuition, you hear directly from your soul.  Intuition is the home of meaning and purpose in your life - if you desire to live aligned with your passion, you must know how to connect with it.   

This can result in sudden and abrupt changes, unexpected occurrences and shifts in your reality that can blindside you. If you have been ignoring any intuitive soul urges or temporarily strayed off your path, think of an eclipse as a wake-up call.

When you are in a state of pure burnout, it is a struggle to brush your teeth in the morning let alone create an Instagram post. Feelings of desperation, worthlessness and overwhelm are your new besties, and you can forget creating that new offer you scheduled in your calendar. Basically, burnout leads to being totally and completely out of commission. And it is perfectly preventable.

Your birth chart gives you so much information about yourself, including the best types of self-care so you can not only remain authentic to who you are, but also actually enjoy it (and want to do it).

When was the last time you looked at the moon? If the moon is just another object that you don’t pay too much attention to, you are missing out on a massive opportunity in your business.
