Ever set a goal or resolution at the beginning of the year…only to forget it by February? Or feel like something's wrong with you when you don't follow through? This doesn't mean you're undisciplined or uncommitted.

In this episode of the Star Powered® Podcast, I explore why goals function a lot like predictions, they're binary, fixed, and rigid. They work for short-term planning and sprint cycles, but when you're looking out at the year ahead, especially in times of change, a goal won't orient you.

What you need is a vision.

A vision invites direction without certainty.
It creates space for possibility and surprise. And it keeps you in relationship with where you're going, even as the path twists, turns, and unfolds. Astrology is your tool to understand where opportunity and timing are available so you can work with the energy instead of fighting against it.

In this first episode of our new monthly Moon collaboration, Leslie Tagorda and Jackie McDonald come together to explore the Capricorn New Moon on January 18 and its powerful invitation to own your authority, trust your lived experience, and stop giving your power away to external systems, credentials, or expectations. Capricorn energy is often misunderstood as rigid, heavy, or obligation-driven…but in this conversation, we reframe Capricorn as a deeply embodied, earthy, feminine force that helps you commit to what matters most. This New Moon is about remembering what's already in your bones…your wisdom, resilience, and earned expertise.

2026 is a turning point, not because of what the planets will do to you, but because of what they invite you to participate in.In this 2026 Astrology Forecast, Leslie Tagorda explores the major planetary shifts shaping leadership, business, and community in the year ahead. The theme of 2026 is Survival of the Collaborative. Together We Rise. This episode looks at astrology as preparation, not prediction, with a focus on the Lunar Nodes moving into Aquarius and Leo and the call to move past applause and contribute to the collective.
