Ever had a year where you were working just as hard as the year before, but everything felt heavier? Or a year where things opened up without you pushing at all?

That's usually not random. It's annual profections.

In this episode I'm joined by astrologer and author Claire Gallagher to talk about the timing technique we both use with almost every client.

Every year of your life switches on a different house in your chart, and the planet that rules that house becomes what Claire calls your co-creator for the next twelve months. Your business partner for the year.

Claire's just released her second book, Cosmic Year, which is a fantastic resource on this technique.

We get into how to work out your profection year, which years tend to bring the biggest business shifts, and how to work with your planet of the year rather than against it.

Claire also shares a tip that reframed my entire year, and I've been working with it ever since!

In this episode:

• How annual profections work, and why they need whole sign houses
• The profection years Claire sees most often behind big business changes, based on interviews with more than 40 people
• What each planet asks of you as your co-creator, from a Mercury year focused on messaging to a Saturn year focused on structure
• Why a planet in a difficult position can make you a better problem solver
• How your solar return adds another layer, and why the same profection year twelve years apart plays out differently
• Claire's method for building an actual relationship with your planet of the year

Work out your profection year using your age at your last birthday, then let us know in the comments how it's tracking.

Jupiter has moved into bold and effervescent Leo – and for the next twelve months, visibility is going to be one of the biggest themes for business owners.

But this isn't a simple "shine brighter" story.

In this episode, I'm joined by astrologer, psychologist and intuitive mentor Rhianna Jade for a real conversation about what Jupiter in Leo actually brings, and what the South Node moving into Leo from 26/27 July adds to the picture.

We get into why so many business owners are already exhausted by showing up, what's driving that, and how this transit is going to force a much more honest question: are you being visible because you have something worth sharing, or because you need the proof that you're enough?

We cover:

• Why Jupiter in Leo is a genuine window for business owners – and why the quality of what you put out matters more than the volume
• The shadow side: how seeking visibility for validation will deplete you faster than anything else right now
• What the South Node in Leo is really releasing – and how to work with it rather than fight it
• The North Node in Aquarius and what it actually means to build community vs performing for an audience
• Why discernment is the word of the next twelve months – and what that looks like practically
• The Jupiter–Mars–South Node conjunction in mid-November: what to watch for and how to prepare
• The lioness archetype – conserving energy, acting with intention, resting well
• What Jupiter in Cancer actually delivered (and why it was heavier than expected)

The question we keep coming back to: are you trying to be impressive, or are you being heart-led? Jupiter in Leo and the South Node are both asking that – in very different ways.
