Today we’re talking about an issue I see many online business owners feeling challenged by…

…especially at the moment.

We’re talking about your pricing strategy 💸

AND how the placement of Venus in each of the zodiac signs can guide or influence it.

But before we dive into that, let's quickly recap what Venus represents in astrology:

Venus is the planet of love, beauty, and abundance. It governs our relationships, aesthetics, and our sense of value. 💚

Today we’re focusing on how Venus influences our sense of value and therefore our pricing structures in online business.

Understanding how Venus guides your pricing strategy can help you get aligned with your offers, so you can stop second-guessing yourself when it comes to setting and standing behind the price of your products or services.

This applies to both your personal and your business astrology chart (consider the placement of Venus in both charts if you can).

🎧 Listen now to explore how the placement of Venus in each of the 12 zodiac signs can impact or guide your pricing strategy.

You’ll find out:

💸 What kind of pricing options will feel best to you depending on where Venus is in your chart.

💸 Whether you’re more likely to be energised by premium packages or lower-ticket, high-volume selling.

💸 Which Venus signs are most suited to subscription models and even pay-what-you-can pricing.

💸 Where you see value and how your pricing strategy reflects this.

Astrology can serve as a valuable tool to help you align your pricing strategy with what feels BEST to you and your ideal clients.

And of course, the placement of Venus isn’t the only thing at play here – you ideally want to consider your entire personal or business chart for a more holistic view of your business strategy.

If you’d like to explore this more deeply, book a private Cosmic Business Breakthrough Call or chat with me about ongoing Cosmic Business Support.

I’ll work with you to create a roadmap for your business, outlining clear steps and strategies for growth – using guidance from your astrology chart – so you can move forward with confidence and conviction.

This podcast is all about business astrology – yet so far, 60 episodes in...

... we haven’t specifically talked about analysing a business astrology chart. 😱

So why is that?

Well, I believe before you can dive into the astrological energy of your business, you first need to understand what you – as the CEO or leader of that business – bring to the table.

Because most of the people I work with are online entrepreneurs with a personal brand – we always look to YOU as the ENTREPRENEUR first.

This means we understand your energy, your style and your needs, then we look to see what the business is telling us.

But today we’re going to go there. 

We’re going to unpack how to set up a business astrology chart and what it might be telling you…

🎧 Listen now to find out:

🪐 How to set up an astrology chart even if you don’t have a clear time of ‘birth’ for your business.

🪐 What the planets represent when it comes to your business and what to look out for.

🪐 How to interpret the houses of a business astrology chart compared with your personal natal chart.

🪐 Critical things to understand about your business when it comes to its long-term viability or success.

*IMPORTANT THINGS TO CONSIDER*

No business chart is going to be 100% amazing. Just like a person, every business will have its strengths and challenges.

But understanding your business chart will give you an extra layer of information when it comes to your long-term plans as well as how you market, and what kinds of activities and opportunities will be the most impactful.

It also helps you to understand and conceptualise your business as a separate entity with its own motivations and objectives.

Although you might have a personal brand, you’ve also created a business that lives outside of you – just like creating a child, it has it’s own way of being in the world.

It’s critical to understand its way so you can help it achieve its full potential.

It’s time to get your planning pants on… 👖

This episode is going to be a super practical and powerful dive into quarterly planning for your business. 🙌

Because we’re heading into the final quarter of 2023 – can you believe it?!

So, what have you had on your heart or mind to do before this year is out?

And have you made a plan for how you’re going to do it?

I know how difficult it can be to plan when you work for yourself when you’re constantly adapting to opportunities and challenges.

But the truth is, when you write down your goals and plans you’re FAR more likely to actually achieve them.

Want more clarity on where you’re headed in business and how you're destined to shine?

Today, we're exploring how to supercharge your public reputation sector – your Midheaven, also known as the MC in astrology.

So what is the Midheaven?

It’s that pivotal point in your astrology chart – right at the top. It represents the highest point in the sky at the time you were born.

That’s why we look to this point to get insights into your career, your business, and your public persona.

Unlike your rising sign which is more about your personality and how you approach your day-to-day life, your Midheaven is the image you project to the world – your professional calling card.

The Midheaven also represents your aspirational identity – where you want to go in your career or business. Think of it as a guide to help you thrive in your chosen field.

🎧 Listen to this episode of Cosmic Business BreakthroughⓇ to find out:

💫 How the energy of the zodiac sign your Midheaven occupies (and its ruling planet) influence your approach to your work, your leadership style, and your success in business.

💫 How planet movements across (or aspects to) this sacred point can signify big shifts in your career direction – leading to new beginnings and profound transformations.

💫 A breakdown of how *all 12 zodiac signs* express as the Midheaven, and ways you can get even more specific with your cosmic mission.

By understanding and embracing your Midheaven, you can make strategic decisions, align your visibity strategy with your aspirational identity, and navigate the cosmic currents with precision.

I’d love to know what you discover about your own Midheaven or MC after listening to this episode – tag me @sophiapallas on Instagram with any ‘aha’ moments.

How much do you know about the Nodes of the Moon?

Unlike the planets, the North and South Nodes aren’t physical entities orbiting in our solar system.

Instead, they're mathematical points based on the positions of the Sun, Moon, and Earth.

But that doesn’t make them any less significant…

In fact, the Nodes in astrology are symbolic of our karmic past and our destiny – so they play a huge role in how we show up in our lives and businesses.

The nodal energies always have the potential to push us in the direction we need to go, even if it feels uncomfortable.

And in July, the Nodes shifted signs from the Taurus-Scorpio axis to the Aries-Libra axis where they'll stay for about the next 18 months.

This shift will brings us all some significant changes, realisations, and opportunities for growth and self-expression.

Interestingly, as the South Node makes its way though the sign of Libra – it’ll reveal where we've been masking our true emotions and people-pleasing tendencies.

So, it's time to shed the facade and speak our truth.

However, voicing our desires and setting boundaries can be challenging, especially when we've been programmed to prioritise harmony and keep the peace…

For this week's exploration of the Nodes, I brought back one of my favourite psychological astrologers – Rhianna Jade. 

Rhianna is an astrologer with a psychology degree and extensive training in meditation and mindfulness, which she fuses together with her strong intuition to find the tools that work best for each person.

I love the way she explains the symbolism of the Nodes and how this shift will affect us all psychologically over the next couple of years. 

🎧 Listen now to find out:

• What we’ve uncovered over the past 18 months while the Nodes were in the Taurus-Scorpio axis and how this felt from a personal perspective.
• Why this shift to the Aries-Libra axis could bring us all more excitement and increased visibility – particularly in the business and entrepreneurial realms.
• How the South Node in Libra might show up in our business collaborations and relationships.
• How to use self-awareness to work with the energies of the nodal shift rather than resisting them.

I can’t wait for you to listen to this insightful and thought-provoking conversation and I’d love to hear what you think.

Tag me @sophiapallas and @rhiannajade_ on Instagram with any ‘aha’ moments.

We’re well into Leo ♌ Season, and you know what that means...

🦁  We’re trying to get our glow on and let our inner Lion or Lioness out.

💋 Venus Retrograde is in full swing… AND,

🎉  The Cosmic Business BreakthroughⓇ podcast has officially been going strong for ONE whole year! 🎉

Of course, it's apt that I launched this podcast in Leo Season in the first place because Leo energy is all about self-expression, and being SEEN (and heard).

So before we kick off this exploration of Venus through Leo, I want to say a huge thank you for listening to me for the past year.

I truly believe working with astrology can have powerful impacts for all of us in business and I want to spread the word far and wide, so we can all get more self-awareness and FLOW in our entrepreneurial lives.

OK, now let’s dive into what you really want to know:

How is Venus in Leo (and its retrograde) going to affect YOU over the next couple of months?

Venus moved into the sign of Leo at the beginning of June, then at the end of July it started to track backward in the sky (at least from our perspective on Earth) – this is also known as a retrograde.

Because of this retrograde, Venus will stay in Leo until October 8, 2023.

This is a long time for Venus to be in ONE sign, so we’re going to be doing a lot of work in this area of life and business over the next couple of months.

What all this means:

Venus is the planet of love, beauty, relationships, and money.

This is the planet we look to for our values as well as where we find pleasure and joy.

Venus is in Leo is grand, warm, and bold. 

This is generally a heart-centred, expressive, romantic, proud, and extravagant placement for Venus. 

When Venus is here we might all feel the need for more attention, acknowledgment, validation, and adoration – but there's a retrograde to consider...

If you’ve listened to my other episodes, you’ll know that retrograde times often come with themes of re-do, re-calibration, and re-vision.

With this retrograde, I also think there’s a theme of REVIVAL because it’s happening in such a vital sign – the sign of the Sun itself.

There are some general cautions with Venus retrograde energy, like:

• Don’t get a crazy new haircut because you’re feeling the vibe (it’s likely you’ll regret it later)
• Don’t do a major branding overhaul of your website or social media presence (it might not be something you want to stick with)
• Don’t get into a new business partnership (unless it’s someone you’ve known a LONG time)

This is because Venus is not operating in her usual beautifying, connecting, and outwardly expressive way at this time.

She’s asking us to look inward at our core values and what we feel is beautiful and wonderful about ourselves first, without validation and external approval.

🎧 Listen to this episode to get the breakdown of how Venus in Leo will affect your business by your Rising/Sun Sign.
