Astrology for Changemakers
What changes when you stop should-ing yourself and reclaim your original astrological design?
the shift this book invites
reclaiming your lived experience as expertise
You inherited limiting beliefs from systems that told you who you should be. What you've overcome is your expertise, and your astrology proves there's no comparison.
attuning to your no-guess astrology
When you take every prediction and personality assessment as truth, you hand your power away. When you hear your chart as an invitation, on your own terms, you take it back.
feeling like the leader you already are
Through the lens of astrology for leadership, there's nothing left to guess. Belief stops being a question. You feel like a leader.

Why Pre-Orders Matter
I’ll be honest with you about how publishing works.
When you pre-order a book, you’re doing more than buying a book early. You’re voting with your dollars. Pre-orders signal to publishers, retailers, and media that a book has an audience. They determine which stores carry it, where it shows up on shelves, what algorithms surface it, and whether the author gets to write more.
For a book like this one, every pre-order matters more than usual. It’s written by me, a first of many firsts. A multiracial Filipino-American astrologer making the case for astrology as a strategic leadership tool, for an audience the publishing industry still isn’t sure exists.
When you pre-order Astrology for Changemakers, you’re helping it reach the changemakers who need it most. The leaders who have been overlooked. The seekers who don’t see themselves in conventional leadership books. The ones ready to stop fighting their original design and start leading by their stars.

About Astrology for Changemakers
A new kind of leadership is emerging. Relational. Circular. Reciprocal. This is leadership in the Age of Aquarius. Changemakers are being called.
A changemaker is anyone who dares to shift the story and do things differently to make the world a better and just place. In uncertain times, when so many of us feel powerless, leading change can feel impossible. But changing the world starts by turning inward and shifting your story.
Stop asking, “How do I become a leader?” Start asking, “How am I born to lead?”
There’s no comparing, copying, guessing, or asking permission when your chart shows your way.
You’re not here to live someone else’s story. You’re here to write your own.
What is a changemaker?
A changemaker is someone who will not or cannot fit traditional molds. They want to make the world a better place for all, by doing things differently, by blazing new trails, or by reclaiming ancient ways for a modern world. If you are a changemaker, you are already a leader.
Leadership is the way YOU take action and initiate change. Yet to see yourself as a leader, you must shift the narrative, beginning with your own.

Viewpoint
Change doesn't begin with becoming someone else. It happens when you stop fighting yourself, claim your lived experience as expertise, and attune to your astrological design — the cosmic imprint you were born with.

Testimonials
Astrology for Changemakers Endorsements
“The old model of leadership–domination, control, extraction–is finally cracking, and Leslie Tagorda shows us what comes next. She doesn’t ask you to become a leader. She proves you already are one and hands you the map you were born with. Astrology for Changemakers turns your chart into a tool for purpose, clarity, and real impact. If you’ve ever sensed you’re here to do something different, start here.”
— Jen Kem, National Bestselling Author of Unicorn Team
“Astrology for Changemakers is a fresh, innovative, and deeply empowering approach to astrology. Leslie Tagorda reimagines the birth chart as a tool for self-liberation, leadership, and conscious participation in collective change. More than a book, it is a guided experience that helps readers decolonize old narratives, discover their strengths, and create a personalized Leadership Compass rooted in purpose and authenticity. Perfect for this moment of profound transformation, this is astrology for people who are ready to help shape the future rather than simply predict it.”
— Celeste Brooks, Astrology by Celeste, Host of the Celestial Insights Podcast
“Astrology for Changemakers is an inspiring leadership roadmap that goes straight to the heart of our individual strengths. Leslie reframes the power of the birth chart from a polycultural perspective—truly the expansive lens we need for the Age of Aquarius!”
— Tali & Ophira Edut, The AstroTwins
“Astrology for Changemakers is a grounded and liberating invitation to return to yourself as the source of your leadership. Leslie Tagorda offers astrology not as prediction or prescription, but as reclamation – guiding readers to reconnect with their lived experience and step into their own authority. A powerful and timely offering for these times.”
— Asha Frost, Indigenous Healer, Author of You are the Medicine
“This book is nothing short of an answered prayer. I’ve often felt that astrology, if it is to meet this moment, must critically reexamine our relationship to power and Astrology for Changemakers by Leslie Tagorda accomplishes exactly that. As Martin Luther King Jr. famously said, “Power, properly understood, is the ability to achieve purpose.” Astrology for Changemakers guides readers toward that purpose with the warmth of a trusted friend and then equips them with the methods, techniques, and positive reframes to continue bringing it to life. Through an instructive approach which may prove more validating than corrective or even challenging, Leslie’s accessible astrological lens helps readers uncover their divine purpose and develop the confidence to create the meaningful change they’re longing for.”
— Colin Bedel, CoFounder of QueerCosmos and Best-selling Author
“I believe everyone has the power to be a changemaker and healthy leader, but not everyone has the tools. That ends now. Leslie Tagorda has written a beautiful guide to accessing your gifts and leading in the most aligned and generative way. This book is a call to courage to leave behind the harmful ways of dying systems and lean fully into more human and community based ways of being. If you’re feeing the pull to live into your purpose and make the world a better place by being the you-est you, then this is the guide for you.”
— Amina AlTai, Executive Coach & Bestselling author, The Ambition Trap
“I have had the joy of welcoming Leslie into my Oracle School and watching her step fully into her voice as a leader and I have worked with her professionally and have utmost respect for her- wisdom, integrity, and deep insight. She brings all of it to Astrology for Changemakers: her heritage, her artistry, and her hard-won wisdom about what it means to lead without abandoning yourself. This is a guide for the changemakers who feel called to do things differently, with their own stars as their compass. Leslie shows you where to begin.”
— Colette Baron-Reid intuitive, educator, author, artist
In the Media
The Changemaker conversations are already happening
Leadership, Branding & the Age of Aquarius
Leslie and Celeste get into the whole arc, musician to web designer to astrologer, and why your chart was never meant to just describe you. Decolonizing astrology, Hawaiian wayfinding, and the "Big Four" all make an appearance.

Mapping Your Leadership Blueprint Through Your Birth Chart with Leslie Tagorda
Leslie traces the line from growing up mixed race in Hawai'i to building brands for everyone but herself, and the shift from asking "how do I become a leader" to "how was I born to lead." A different take on leadership, rooted in reciprocity instead of the narrow version most of us were shown.

Astrology isn't a religion. It's a language.
Leslie and her friend Megan talk through why this book exists: not another "find your soulmate" guide, but one built around reclaiming power. They get into decolonizing astrology, why representation among astrologers matters, and reading your chart as a tool for change instead of something to simply believe in.

Reclaiming your lived experience as expertise
Leslie previews Astrology for Changemakers and opens up about writing it through a cancer diagnosis. Plus the stat that stopped everyone mid-scroll: only 22 astrology books by people of color have ever been traditionally published.

Power and privilege as the default lens
Leslie and Dr. Sarah Webb talk through why power and privilege are the lens she teaches from even when the words never make the page, the Ilocano proverb that opens the book, and what it means that fewer than two dozen women of color have ever traditionally published an astrology book.
Watch the full conversation →Finding Your True Love: The 7th House
Dabney and Leslie get into the 7th house as more than a love placement, it's a lens for reciprocal partnership over hierarchy. What it means to find real connection, and how the same house that shows you love also shows you how you lead.

Astrology as Coregulation
Leslie and her longtime friend Sarah get into moon signs as a nervous system map, decolonizing astrology, and how Polynesian wayfinding used the stars long before any birth chart did. Plus what it actually took to finish this book through a cancer diagnosis.

Not fate handed down. Power handed back.
Leslie goes live to read charts differently, not as fate handed down, but as purpose, wisdom, power, and the people you're here to create with.

Whoever interprets holds the power
Leslie and Ilona get into the biggest misconception in astrology: that it pigeonholes you rather than liberates you. They talk through why prescriptive readings ("you should be this") do harm, and why the stars are meant as an invitation back to yourself, not a verdict handed down by someone who's never met you.
