Episode 150: Gemini Leadership – The Power To Engage

Geminis make some of the best thought leaders, speakers, and marketers — and they’re also the most likely to have been told to dim their light and quiet down. This episode reframes all of that.

In this special episode, Leslie gifts you a rare treat: a sneak peek inside her upcoming book, Astrology for Changemakers. She reads the full Gemini chapter — “The Power to Engage” — exploring the energy, the invitation, and the journey of Gemini. As we enter Gemini season for the first time in 84 years alongside Uranus, the changemaker of the solar system, it’s time to shake up everything you thought you knew about this sign.

Whether or not you have planets in Gemini, you have Gemini somewhere in your chart by house — and that placement is your invitation to reclaim your voice, own your story, and harness your power to engage your people to take action.

In this episode:

• Why Gemini and Scorpio are two of the most judged signs — and how to reframe the “two-faced,” “indecisive,” “too much” labels into their true superpowers
• The Gemini archetypes, keywords, desires, challenges, and zone of genius
• Leslie’s vision of Gemini as the busy bee — the pollinator and cross-pollinator carrying information across the garden
• Reframing Gemini energy: from talking too much to creating dialogue, from “scattered” to synthesizing, from indecisiveness to giving yourself permission to change your mind
• How to reclaim your voice and hold multiple truths as a sign of wisdom, not weakness
• Gemini by house: an invitation question for all 12 houses (grab your natal chart!)
• Gemini by planet: Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, plus the outer-planet generations — Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, Chiron, and the Nodes
• What to do if your Gemini is intercepted

A favorite line from the chapter: “Your voice is not too much, your curiosity is not scattered, and your ability to hold multiple truths is not indecision. All of this is your wisdom, your superpower.”

📖 About Astrology for Changemakers

Astrology for Changemakers comes out September 8, 2026 from Wiser Books, with a foreword by the one and only Theresa Reed, the Tarot Lady. As far as Leslie understands, this is the first traditionally published astrology and leadership book written by a woman of color of Filipino heritage, born and raised in Hawaii.

The Gemini chapter is just one of 12 zodiac archetypes in Part Three of the book. Across four parts — Why You’re Born to Lead, Interpretation as Reclamation, Decode and Liberate Your Stars, and Make Your Mark — Leslie shares her entire applied astrology philosophy and system for interpreting your natal chart in your changemaking leadership.
