Calling all astrology lovers
The starting point to all things AstroBrand®.
Whether you’re new to astrology, revisiting your chart for new meaning, or a practitioner wanting to integrate this method into your Work, you begin here.
New to astrology?
This is your foundational, decolonial, liberation-centered way in. No prior knowledge, no gatekeeping.
Read your chart and still feel unseen?
Come back to your chart as a leader, with every placement counted as a strength.
Already read charts?
This is the dialect that lets you apply what you know to business, brand, and leadership. Required for AstroBrand® Certification.
Note: This class uses the Western Tropical Astrology and Placidus House Division because of the delightful wonkiness that gives you detailed specificity about your one-of-a-kind powers.
Why you don’t see yourself as a leader
Leadership has been defined too narrowly.
The external problem
- If you don’t fit the mold because of who you are, how you lead, or what you value, you’re made to feel like your voice doesn’t matter.
- You don’t lead in the loud, extroverted, take-charge way society expects, so you start to question your own value.
- After years of being overlooked, underestimated, or told to conform to be successful, you may have shrunk yourself without even realizing it.
The internal struggle
You don’t see yourself as a leader.
The truth? Leadership is taking action from your strengths and contributing your gifts.
So how do you start seeing yourself differently?
That’s where your natal chart comes in.
Your chart is like no other. It is the imprint your soul chose for you to lead, contribute, and show up in the world so you can make your mark.
AstroBrand® 101 is here to help you recognize your leadership.
The importance of
Redefining leadership.
A decolonial, liberation-centered view of leadership has no use for titles, hierarchy, or followers. Leadership is about:
- Taking up space and using your voice
- Getting things started in your own way
- Taking action in alignment with your values
- Advocating for autonomy and authority, for yourself and others
- Contributing your expertise, wisdom, and lived experience
You are a leader.
People depend on you to lead. The world depends on you to do better. You were born to make a mark!

AstroBrand® 101 is a
Revolutionary approach to astrology.
What is AstroBrand® 101?
A movement toward self-knowing, self-trust, and self-leadership that challenges outdated systems of power and visibility.
At my lowest, I went to my natal chart, where I could see my entire “brand” written in the stars. My purpose, mission, and vision. How I was supposed to shine brightly, and what I needed to face in myself to create the emotional groundedness to take bigger leaps.
AstroBrand® 101 is that jumping-off point: to decode the symbols and practice Interpretation as Reclamation, taking the meaning of your chart back into your own hands.
The importance of
Why me, Leslie Tagorda?
I guide changemakers, entrepreneurs, and visionaries to lead with their stars, turning astrology into a liberatory tool for identity, purpose, and impact.
I’m a multiracial, Hawaiʻi-born third-career astrologer, brand strategist, and classical clarinetist, and I bring twenty-plus years of brand-building and a decolonial approach rooted in the Hawaiian values of aloha and kuleana. My work offers a viewpoint rarely represented in astrology or business, reclaiming the stars as a tool for self-actualization and your lived experience as your expertise.
This course is for you if you’re ready to:
- See yourself in the stars, without limits, labels, or judgment.
- Align your leadership and work with your natal chart.
- Claim your voice, visibility, and purpose on your own terms.
- Make your mark, together.

AstroBrand® 101 · 5-day curriculum
Over 5 days, we’ll reveal:
DAY · 01
The Planets: processes of change
The planets activate change, and you have your own one-of-a-kind mix. If you don’t know your planets, you’ll lump everything together, feel at the mercy of life, and miss how you are meant to initiate change. When you know your planetary processes, you move with clarity and power. You know exactly when and how to act, and people can see you as the leader you are. You’ll also learn the importance of the natal chart as a whole and how to recognize the different pieces of a 360° pie.
DAY · 02
The Zodiacs: archetypes of change
There are 12 Zodiac archetypes, and you likely know only your Sun, Moon, and Rising. But there’s so much more shaping you. Each archetype influences your leadership, visibility, emotional security, relationships, and business. You’ll learn how each sign operates through its element, modality, and polarity, and how you hold all 12 within you. You’ll reframe old judgments, discover which archetypes fuel your Work, and learn exactly which ones to amplify to become more renowned.
DAY · 03
The Houses: where change happens
The Houses divide your chart into 12 areas of life, each one representing different places, people, and parts of your leadership story. They reveal where you’re born to have the most impact. For example, planets in your 10th House show how you naturally influence the world. You’ll learn the meaning of all 12 Houses, map how they shape your life, brand, business, and Work, and discover where your Big 4 shine brightest to make the biggest difference.
DAY · 04
The Aspects: relationships of change
Aspects show how your planets relate to each other, whether they support, challenge, or energize your growth. You’ll decode the 5 key aspects that connect your planets, without labeling them as “good” or “bad.” Instead, you’ll learn how to work with every dynamic, map how they influence your Sun, Moon, Rising, and Descendant, and turn those connections into powerful action. A deeper dive here gives you confidence in knowing your and your clients’ specific gifts and issues.
DAY · 05
Illuminate your Star Powers and leadership compass
In this masterclass, you’ll map your Big 4 (Sun, Moon, Rising, and Descendant) to reveal the heart of your leadership and personal brand. You’ll see why not knowing your Star Powers can leave you feeling stuck, unclear, and disconnected from the Work you’re here to lead.

- Harness the AstroBrand® Method in actionable ways (that comes after you learn to decipher the symbols)
- Discern ways to develop your business, empower your clients’ transformation, and propel your brand leadership
- Interpret and delineate charts
Just like learning to read music, you must learn the symbols and meanings before you can learn to interpret and play a musical phrase to bring the score to life.

In the Age of Aquarius
We are all leaders.
When more of us step into leadership, we reshape the world.
Too many people (women, BIPOC, non-binary, Queer, young, and old) have been overlooked, underestimated, or told to conform. Leadership is taking up space.
Your natal chart tells the story of your one-of-a-kind strengths, wisdom, and contributions, whether your lessons come from the school of hard knocks or the credentials of elite institutions. AstroBrand® 101 exists to help you break the glass ceiling.
When more leaders who look like you and me rise, when more changemakers contribute in their own way, and when love and compassion are valued as strengths, we co-create a just, equitable world, socially, environmentally, and economically, for today and seven generations forward.
You were sent here to
Lead in your way.
You have a gift to contribute that no one else can.
Leadership is a way for you to make your mark by doing better in the World. Astrology is your secret tool that gives depth of insight and meaning into your star-powered leadership.
Astrology is your fate, it’s your free-willed destiny. You get to choose how you want to make a mark in the world. Leading with your stars makes your Work more meaningful, impactful, and easeful.
There are no two natal charts alike, even if you are a twin. Similarly, there is no one that can make change like you’re designed to create. When you use your astrology to inform your leadership, I promise you’ll never have to copy, second-guess, or compare again.
Your leadership, vision, and voice deserve to be seen. You don’t have to wait for permission or validation.
This is YOUR sign.
