Cosmic Business Architecture | Astrology + Business Strategy

This is your complete CEO Operating Brief for Pisces Season 2026 - and if you've been feeling foggy, exhausted, or like you're wading through mud this month, this episode will show you why (and more importantly, what to do about it). Over the next 40 minutes, I'm breaking down exactly what's happening cosmically from February 18th through March 19th, including the once-in-36-years Saturn-Neptune conjunction, the lunar eclipse in Virgo, Mercury retrograde through the entire second half of the season, and why this month is asking you to plant, not push. This isn't vague astrology. This is business strategy informed by cosmic weather. By the end of this episode, you'll know what to prioritise, what to park, and what to protect so you can actually work WITH the energy instead of exhausting yourself fighting against it. I'm walking you through the three phases of Pisces Season (Softening, Review & Release, Integration & Planting), how to manage your capacity when your nervous system is processing big collective shifts, what leadership actually looks like this season (hint: it's not about being everywhere), and the exact timing windows for when to push forward versus when to pause. Plus, I'm breaking it down by element - so whether you're a Fire, Earth, Air, or Water sign, you'll know exactly how this season lands for YOUR wiring and what to watch for. If you've been pushing hard through January and early February and you're already feeling stretched thin, this episode is your permission slip to slow down - and your roadmap for how to navigate the next four weeks without burning out.

Solar eclipse Tuesday. Pisces season begins Wednesday. Saturn conjunct Neptune Friday. This is threshold week - here's your operating brief. In this episode: → Eclipse day operating instructions (what NOT to do Tuesday) → Pisces season begins - your personal new year if you're Pisces Rising → Saturn-Neptune Friday - dreams meet reality in your money house → Mercury Retrograde prep for next week → Day-by-day CEO actions with decision filters → Card pull: The Hermit - hold the lantern, don't chase the light This isn't a weather report.

If your business only works when you're working - if stepping away for two weeks would make the whole thing collapse - you've got a design problem. Most founders are building 2-3 parts of their business and pouring all their energy into those pieces (usually marketing and delivery) while completely ignoring the other 6-7 parts that would actually take the weight off. In this episode, I'm breaking down the 9 stars your business needs to hold - the constellation framework I use with every client - and showing you the gaps that show up every single time. We go deep on: The star almost everyone skips (Time - and why your calendar is probably fighting your wiring) The star people over-build (Marketing - and why it's doing the job of 9 stars instead of 1) The star people avoid (Finance - and what your chart reveals about your relationship with money) The fix? Build the parts you haven't built yet. That's what takes the weight off.

You've built something that works. But the moment you step away - sick kid, hard week, your body saying "not today" - the whole thing wobbles. And you think it's you. You think you need more discipline, more consistency, more something. What if it's not you? What if the problem is that you built a business designed for someone else's capacity? In this episode: → Two pictures: a business that holds vs one that doesn't → Why the frameworks you copied were never built for your wiring → The real reason your weekly planning keeps falling apart (it's not discipline) → What your birth chart actually shows you about how to build → The one question I want you to sit with this week Take the free Capacity Leak Assessment: https://hollybray.com/capacity/ Come hang with me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hollybrayceo/

A few years ago I realised I'd built an entire business around someone else's blueprint - and I had no idea I was doing it. I had the strategy, the systems, the offers. I was doing all the "right" things. And I was exhausted in a way that never got better. Then I actually looked at my birth chart. Not just my Sun sign, but the whole thing. And I saw exactly where I'd been building against my own wiring. In this episode, I'm sharing: → What I was doing that kept me stuck (and why I couldn't see it) → What I found when I looked at my chart - and what it revealed about why everything felt so hard → The shifts I made that changed everything → The 5 places I scan for leaks when I look at someone's business → How to know if you're building against YOUR wiring This one's personal. And I think there's something in here for you too.

I had my first client call of the year this week, and something she said stopped me in my tracks. Before Christmas, she was spiralling - income had dipped, clients had moved on, she was convinced she was falling behind. A few weeks later? She's calm. She's clear. And what she wants isn't more. It's stability. That conversation sparked this whole episode, because I think a lot of people need to hear this right now. In this episode I'm talking about: → Why the strategy you're following might not be broken, it just wasn't built for you → The difference between scaling seasons and stabilising seasons (and how to know which one you're actually in) → What I saw in her birth chart that explained why the "push harder" advice was never going to work → Why wanting a quieter year isn't a lack of ambition - it's capacity intelligence → The one question I want you to sit with this week If you've been feeling like you're behind already, like everyone else got the memo and you didn't, like you're doing everything right and it's still not clicking - this one's for you. Your business is a constellation. Your chart is the blueprint. When they match, everything holds. 🔮 Want your own Cosmic Blueprint for 2026? £55, yours within a week, includes a personalised Loom walkthrough.

Your weekly CEO briefing is here. This week the board is asking you to finish before you start - if you've had half-built things open since the beginning of January, this is your window to close the loops. Monday to Friday still has momentum. By Saturday we're in dark moon territory, and Sunday's new moon at the very end of Capricorn is asking: what have you learned and what's the one thing you're carrying forward? In this episode I'm covering: → The overall energy of the week and why it matters for your business → Day-by-day breakdown - what's a green light, what's a soft caution → How the week lands for each element (fire, earth, air, water) → One-line focus for every sign → The card I pulled for the week (it flew out of the deck) Your business is a constellation.

This is the episode I didn't know how to make until I lived it. In 2025, I finally stopped hiding the part of my work that makes me different. I stopped performing the version of "business coach" I thought I was supposed to be. And I started building something that's actually mine. Inspired by Charli XCX's Brat era - the idea that you can burn down a version of yourself and come back more YOU - this episode is about what it really looks like to pivot. Not a clean rebrand. Not a strategy shift. A full identity unravelling. I talk about the version of me I had to perform before I could drop her. The messy middle that nobody shows. And why 2026 is the year I stop explaining and start building. If you've been feeling like the old version of your business doesn't fit anymore - this one's for you. Your 2026 Cosmic Blueprint is now available - your chart, your capacity, your year mapped out. £55. Book yours here: https://abranchofholly.thrivecart.com/2026/ 

Your first Astro-CEO Board Brief of 2026 is here, and this week has a clear message: rest before you run. Monday is unusually quiet - no major transits, not even from the moon. Use it. From Tuesday, things start building fast with Venus cazimi, Venus meeting Mars on Thursday, and big expansion energy hitting Friday. In this episode, I break down: → What the sky's doing and what it means for your business decisions  → Your CEO Focus for the week (one sentence to anchor everything)  → Department check-ins for Fire, Earth, Air and Water signs  → Rapid-fire guidance for all 12 signs  → This week's card pull - Ace of Pentacles This week is asking you to start slow so you can finish strong. If you're coming in rested, you're already ahead. 🔮 Want your personalised 2026 breakdown? Cosmic Blueprints are open for January! Your business is a constellation.

This is my 2025 wrapped - the real version, not the highlight reel. In this episode, I'm sharing what actually happened this year: the pivot I didn't plan, the moment I stopped performing, and why I finally stopped hiding the part of my work that makes me different. I talk about what it felt like to let go of an identity that wasn't working, what I learned about building a business that fits my actual life, and why 2025 became the year I started building something that's actually mine. If you've had a messy, non-linear, "I don't know how to explain what happened this year" kind of 2025 - this one's for you. And if you want your 2026 mapped out based on your chart, your capacity, and your actual wiring, the 2026 Cosmic Blueprints are open now. £55, closes Friday.  Book yours here: https://abranchofholly.thrivecart.com/2026/

Mars enters Capricorn on Monday, asking you to move from vision to execution. The Winter Solstice on Sunday crosses you from Sagittarius season (exploration, expansion, possibility) into Capricorn season (building, structure, commitment). In this week's Astro-CEO Board Brief, I walk you through what this means for your business: the daily astrology breakdown (Mars in Capricorn, Sun square Saturn, Venus trine Chiron, Sagittarius New Moon, and the Solstice threshold), specific guidance for Fire, Earth, Air, and Water signs based on your department, and your ONE job this week regardless of your sign. This week rewards precision over expansion, commitment over consideration, and building over visioning. Plus, I pulled the Death card - and it's about threshold crossing, not endings. If you've been circling a decision or waiting to feel ready, this is your week to take the first step. Get your weekly focus on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/p/DSUf0t6DN4P/?img_index=1
