Astrology & Play for a Profitable Magical Business
Astrology is about so much more than just your birth chart. It’s about all the cosmic energies that influence every aspect of your daily life, including your business.
What are the keys to using astrology to make your business a success?
How can you plan your big business decisions so that they’ll be supported by the cosmic energy?
And what actions can we all take as business owners to ensure that our business evolves with us as a powerful spiritual practice?
On this week’s episode, Sam is joined by CEO and founder of Astrology Hub, Amanda ‘Pua’ Walsh, who shares her journey as an entrepreneur and a deeply spiritual person whose business changes the lives of thousands of people for the better.
“The more we infuse who we are and what we stand for in our work, the more the people that resonate with that vibration are able to benefit from us.” – Amanda ‘Pua’ Walsh
THINGS WE LEARNED FROM THIS EPISODE
1. Sometimes, it takes a major shift to help us realize what’s truly important to us.
It can be easy to get sucked into the ebb and flow of ordinary life without stopping to think about what we truly want — until a major shift happens. After a significant life change, we’re often asked to look inward and find out what’s really important to us. Where do you want to be spending your time and energy? Are you leaving behind the legacy you want to create? Big shifts bring introspection, and with that comes clarity. We become more in touch with what we actually care about and value, to find order in the chaos and meaning in what is happening in our lives.
2. Spiritual businesses need a balance of energies to succeed.
It’s easy to get sucked into having a business that’s either completely yin, based on intuition and flow, or completely yang,based on logic and data. To have a successful business, we need to trust in the universe to bring us what we need and have a set structure and boundaries. As Amanda explains, you first need to know what the script looks like for a successful business, and then after you’ve learned the choreography you can discover how to flow within it.
3. How to balance the energies of the planets and bring their energy to your business.
Each planet is a key to unlocking new insight into yourself and your business. And whatever you want to bring more of into your life — introspection, pleasure, fire, communication — there is planetary energy to help you get there. Bring the moon into your business by taking time to be introspective. Commune with Mercury before you write an email or do a podcast to make sure your message is coming through clearly. If you need a spark of energy to get stuff done, talk to Mars for visionary focus. And of course Jupiter and Saturn, the planets of expanding and pulling back, can strike a powerful balance to ensure your best ideas are always advancing but not getting out of hand.
4. How to use astrological weather in your business
The astrological weather is all about timing. It’s basically a weather report for what energies will be present at a certain time. The universe is always moving - think of it like a celestial clock. Understanding this timing is helpful as a business owner because you can time your big decisions to coincide with the astrological weather. It’s a means of influence, another datapoint to help you understand how you can time your business decisions. And we always have a choice about how we’re going to dance with that cosmic energy.
5. What a Spiritual CEO teaches her daughters about entrepreneurship
Being a boss is about more than just telling people what to do. It’s about showing up every day in the way you want the rest of your team to show up. Amanda takes her daughters along for the ride on every aspect of what goes on with Astrology Hub, from teaching them about launches/opens to reading them emails and showing them the numbers behind the scenes. Her daughters are always included in the conversation — and sometimes they even give their own advice!
6. Advice for business owners who are just starting out
Ready to take your first step toward having a successful business where you’re working less and more effectively? Amanda’s advice: Learn to play. Get in the ocean with a bougie board and ride the waves like a kid. Play board games with your kids. Put on a quick song and have a dance party! Think about what makes you feel playful now — or what made you feel playful as a kid. In those moments of rejuvenation and pleasure, your best ideas will come. And your life will become much more rich. When you bring that playfulness into your work, your audience will sense it and love you so much more.
