The Methodology

A dialect of liberated applied astrology

Star Powered® is the philosophy. The AstroBrand® Method is how we do the work.

Developed over 20+ years of brand, leadership, and entrepreneurial development — applied astrology that is strategic, specific, and uncolonial. Together, three interconnected dimensions form a complete picture of who your client is, how they lead, and the mark they are meant to make.
Cassandra McCall, AstroBrand® Certified Practitioner

This AstroBrand® Certification ultimately helped me dial in not only my own offerings and what I want to bring into the world... I have a more clear sense of communication of how I talk to my ideal client. It's not only giving me another resource — it's giving my clients a resource to understand themselves more, too

AstroBrand® Framework  by Leslie Tagorda
  • 01 Position Your Vision

    Brand Position

    What makes your client distinct, who they are born to serve, and why their work matters in the world.

  • 02 Raise Your Voice

    Brand Voice

    How your client communicates, connects, and tells their story in a way that is unmistakably theirs.

  • 03 Define Your Style

    Brand Style

    The visual and energetic expression of your client's brand — colors, symbols, textures, and creative approach.

Is This Certification Right for You?

I designed this for two kinds of people.

You might be both.

01 • If this is you
You love astrology and you work with people.
Coach, consultant, or advisor who has always used astrology to understand clients — but wants a rigorous, teachable methodology behind it. You want astrology to be part of how you do your professional work.
02 • Or this is you
You work in brand, design, or leadership — and astrology is your secret advantage.
Brand strategist, designer, stylist, photographer, communications advisor, or executive coach. You’ve been drawn to astrology but haven’t known how to bring it in credibly. The AstroBrand® Method gives you exactly that.

If you work 1:1 with clients, lead group programs, advise executives, craft stump speeches, or help people show up with confidence — this certification was built with your business in mind.

Ixchel Lunar, AstroBrand® Certified Practitioner and Founding Cohort member

The mentorship of the certification is so deep with Leslie. She is going to open up spaces in you that you didn't realize were there. If you are drawn to astrology for insight, Leslie's AstroBrand® Framework and this certification is for you.

The Power You're Stepping Into

To be AstroBrand® Certified is to hold a great power.

Working with Leslie and team is intimate and powerful. More than strategy or design, it’s about how you feel while you’re building your next level: validated, certain, and supported.

You will:

Command greater value in the marketplace — because you bring something no one else has

Become indispensable to your clients — they won't want to work without your lens

Step into your identity as a sought-after expert in your field

Guide with an innovative, precise advantage that sets you apart from every other practitioner

Save time and energy on client work — because you have a proven methodology, not guesswork

Amplify your impact and create lasting change for the people you serve

Change your business, your practice, and your life

And beyond the methodology, you'll discover two things no curriculum can teach:

Your one-of-a-kind astrological voice.

A way of expressing yourself and guiding clients rooted in your lived experience, your professional passions, and your unique perspective. People hire practitioners whose approach feels innovative and personal. Finding your astrological voice makes you more confident — and more magnetic.

Your signature consulting style.

Clients won’t remember every detail you share, but they will remember how you guide them. We’ll identify the distinctive way you already work and turn it into a clear, repeatable process you can share from the very first session. That’s what builds trust, reputation, and referrals.
Troy Schmit , AstroBrand® Certified Practitioner

I came into the AstroBrand® Certification thinking astrology was too heady for me, that I'd never really get it. Then I found Leslie, and I knew: this is the person. Working with her, everything just started clicking into place, what to do and how to do this. I ended up self-publishing my own 48-card oracle deck, four archetypes for every sign, something I'd wanted to build for years but never knew how. It didn't just give me a new tool. It gave me permission to finally be all of me

Caz Gaddis, AstroBrand® Certified Practitioner

As an energy leadership coach, I needed more tools to understand what was going on for me energetically, not just emotionally. The AstroBrand® Certification gave me that, and so much more. I built a gamified ADHD dice set rooted in astrology, now heading into my PhD dissertation and pilot study. It helped me finally be present with myself, so I could help my clients do the same.

Live Reading Observation — AstroBrand® Certification Assignment 03
The Privilege & Power Commitment

Integrity means doing the inner workfirst.

Woven throughout the mentorship is a dedicated deep dive into privilege, power, and positionality. We spend real time uprooting, bringing awareness to, and sitting with our own individual privileges, biases, and the power dynamics at play when we guide others.

This includes open conversations about cultural appropriation, ethics, identity, and holding boundaries around trauma.

To guide with astrology is to hold great power. The relationship between practitioner and client is one that must be held with respect, humility, and ongoing self-examination.

This isn’t a one-time module. It’s a commitment you make when you enter this certification — and one you carry with you throughout your practice.

I take this seriously. I ask the same of you.

Keryn Rose , AstroBrand® Certified Practitioner

I thought I was signing up for an astrology course. What I got was so much more, the words for something I'd been doing my whole life without ever knowing how to explain it. I built a whole presentation on how each moon sign can heal through frequency, and astrology became another doorway to help my clients settle

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know.

Have a question we didn’t answer? Reach out at aloha@starpowered.com.

  1. You need a genuine love of and curiosity about astrology — but you don't need to be a professional astrologer or have formal training. I'm self-taught, and many of our most successful graduates are too. What matters is your commitment to learning the method with depth and applying it with integrity. It is helpful if you have studied astrology on your own or with other teachers. The prerequisite curriculum (AstroBrand® 101, Star Powered® Position, Celestial Cycles) gives you everything you need to enter mentorship with confidence.

  2. The full certification is one year — six months of curriculum followed by six months of mentorship. During mentorship, we meet twice a month as a group. You'll also complete three assignments at your own pace. Most students find 4–6 hours per week is realistic when you factor in curriculum, mentorship calls, and assignment work. Year 2 is your apprenticeship inside Circle, which you can engage with at whatever level feels aligned with where you are in your practice.

  3. Life always happens. My intention is to support you in completing the certification, not to gatekeep you out of it. If something significant comes up during your year, we'll talk about it together and find a path forward. This is a relationship, not a transaction.

  4. Most astrology certifications teach you to read charts. AstroBrand® Certification teaches you to use charts to build brands, develop leaders, and guide changemakers. It's applied, strategic, and business-facing in a way that nothing else in the market is. You're not becoming a chart reader. You're becoming an astrology-informed brand and leadership advisor with a proprietary, proven methodology behind you — and a community of practitioners and clients around you.

  5. The courses in the AstroBrand® Library will absolutely deepen your practice. But certification gives you something the courses alone cannot: the right to use the AstroBrand® mark with your clients, access to white-labeled resources, placement in the practitioner directory, and the mentorship depth that comes from working directly with me over six months. Certification also signals to your clients that you've been mentored, evaluated, and held to the ethical standards of the method.

  6. There are no scholarships for this valuable and potent work. This is an investment in you. However, I'm committed to making this accessible through flexible payment plans extended up to 12 or even 18 months. If you're serious about this and need to talk through what's possible, reach out directly at aloha@starpowered.com.

  7. There's no minimum business experience required. We have graduates who were brand new to working with clients and graduates who brought decades of professional experience. What the certification does is give you a methodology and a business-building structure that works wherever you are in your practice.

  8. Yes. The method is designed to be flexible across formats. Many of our graduates use it in 1:1 client work, group coaching, online courses, workshops, and keynotes. The certification prepares you to apply the method with confidence in whatever format you serve.

  9. Circle+ is the on-ramp. It gives you access to the AstroBrand® Library and the Star Powered® community — the best way to get a head start on your prerequisite curriculum and experience the method from the inside. Certification is the full practitioner training: six months of curriculum, six months of mentorship, your three assignments, and a two-year arc that ends with you licensed to use the AstroBrand® mark with your clients. Circle+ is where you fall in love with the method. Certification is where you become the guide.

  10. One of our continuing education trainings covers exactly this — How to Use Time Passages, the chart software I recommend and teach throughout the method. You don't need to have it before you start, and there are other tools you can use. We'll cover this together.

  11. The certification is cohort-based. The Fall 2026 cohort is the next opportunity to join. Applications are open now. The best way to prepare while you wait is to join Circle+ and begin your prerequisite curriculum in the AstroBrand® Library.

  12. From Year 3 onward, you renew your license annually (fee TBD, in the range of $500–$1,000). Renewal includes access to continuing education trainings, ongoing Star Powered® Circle membership, updated white-label client resources, and the right to continue using the AstroBrand® mark. The method evolves as I learn and teach — your renewal keeps you current and connected.

  13. Yes. The curriculum courses are available on demand, so you can revisit them as needed. Mentorship is cohort-based and time-bound — you will be expected to have moved through the required curriculum before mentorship begins. But the curriculum is yours to return to.

Final Step · Applications Open

Applications for the Fall 2026 Cohort are open now.

Complete the application and we’ll be in touch within 48 business hours with next steps and early enrollment details. There are no right or wrong answers — we just want to understand where you are in your astrology journey and how you want to use this method in your work.
