Relationship with your business lost its sparkle, passion and joy? Time for a reset fuelled by love.
You’ve been in business for a while now, and either you’re still struggling to make ends meet after way too long, or you’re raking in the cash but exhausted and drained, or what used to inspire you daily now feels like the weight of the world on your shoulders.
If the relationship between you and your business were in a rom com, we’d be looking at a montage of things going south: communication breakdowns, tiny things triggering inexplicable rage, intolerable pressure to perform, doubt about whether your business likes you any more (or ever liked you), and perhaps even guilty daydreaming about a fling with a new sweetie.
You’ve always felt you have something brilliant and beautiful to bring to the world (it’s true, you do).
But right now, in this business, you’re experiencing days when you’re doubting that core purpose of yours. And maybe you’re struggling to remember why this business of yours was so darn inspiring in the first place.
You’d be tempted to hand it all over to some ‘expert’ to do it all for you, except you know that nobody else truly gets you and your business, the way you do.
It’s not you. And it’s not your business. It’s just that the romance needs a reset.
Your Business and You StarMap Consult
Like couples’ counselling when you’re yearning for a deeper, more loving and more joy-filled relationship with your own business.
My highest intention for you:
your business gets to show up as your champion and your ally, rather than some kind of imposition, obligation or drain
you wake up excited to spend time with your business, even on days when the tasks might be a little humdrum
you can finally get clear on whether this is a romance ready for rekindling, or ready for an amicable parting of the ways to make way for something new
your business becomes your go-to partner for your working days - and helps you make the most of your delicious downtime, too
you and your business both experience fun and ease, while serving folks you love and making good money doing it
you fully embrace your own wonderful, strange and unique inborn superpowers, and those of your business too, to create the best and most fun synergistic whole
you regularly experience a whole-body sigh of relief and delight, as you accept help from your own planetary allies - and those of your business
Trusting someone with your astrological chart can (and should) feel like a big decision, because astrology can be misused or misunderstood in ways that can cause actual harm.
So, for clarity:
This is for you if:
you identify as a woman or non-binary or gender fluid
you own a small business that’s been operating more than a year (regardless of whether it has an actual legal structure or has been profitable yet)
you are open to the possibility that your business is an entity and has its own unique combination of gifts, preferences and purpose - and that it chose you to collaborate with
you’re not looking for someone to TELL you what to do (ugh!)
you have a habit of dragging yourself forward using brute force, willpower and self-shaming (#askmehowIknow)
you’re a complete newbie with astrology OR you’re very astro-experienced but that hasn’t yet solved this problem for you
you believe in both science and spirit, at least enough that you’re happy to explore both
This is not for you if:
you’re a man - guys, I love you; but my work isn’t going to light you up in the way that I can do for the women-oriented or non-binary folks - and of course I have good people to whom I can refer you, if you’d like
you’re an employee (I could do this for you, but only with the explicit permission of the business owner, and that just gets too complicated - I recommend an individual Strategic StarMap Session just for you, instead)
you’re actively cynical about astrology or brain science. I don’t mean you have to have 100% complete faith in the woo or be a neuro-geek 24/7, I mean you don’t believe AT ALL. If this is you, my approach is going to be really frustrating (and I’d be happy to refer you to some colleagues whose approach might suit better)
you are looking for someone to whom you can hand over your power and authority. While I am 100% in support of you, I also know that you are the authority in your life, so everything we do together is a collaborative partnership
You’re just starting to think about creating your own business and would like some guidance on how to blaze your own unique trail (this is where I highly recommend my basic Strategic StarMap Session)
Why this is different
You didn’t arrive on the planet as a blank slate. And neither did your business.
You came here with a unique-to-you set of innate superpowers: your gifts and talents, your natural ‘style’, your preferences and the complex and beautiful tapestry of threads which weave together to make you, you. And so did your business.
The stars don’t dictate who you are, or what’s possible for you, despite what you may have read elsewhere; rather, they provide a kind of ‘map’ to the full glory of who you came here to be. And the same is true for your business.
Your unique glory, like every human (including me!), got temporarily hidden beneath all the unconscious programming we all acquire: from the systems of oppression and the cultural pressures around us, from the ancestral trauma we might inherit through our families of origin, and from our own lived experiences.
But that’s not true of your business!
It chose you for a reason. You are its chosen person, and it loves you and will keep showing up for you, even when that feels crazy and impossible.
Your business doesn’t carry all the human emotional baggage that you (and I) have had to deal with.
This is part of the reason that creating your own business is notoriously a space that demands major personal growth and healing.
You know the baggage you carry - perfectionism, overwork, prioritising others’ needs All The Damn Time, self-doubt, difficulty claiming your sovereignty, underearning. handing over power to the latest business trend or ‘guru’.
Your astrological chart is like a star map which reveals the full, glorious human being you came here to be; and provides a handy guide to the planetary allies who are your greatest helpers for doing things the easiest, most enjoyable ways possible.
And so is the chart for your business (and yes, we CAN figure out its exact date and place of birth).
Engaging in this process of couples’ counselling for your business and you doesn’t mean you HAVE to stick with this business. If the time has come for an amicable parting of the ways, it can make that decision and that process so much easier and more loving.
Imagine making choices and decisions, knowing that your business is your ally and only wants the best for you, AND it can provide guidance on proceeding forward in sustainable, joy-filled ways.
This consult isn’t about making you do things you don’t like, in order to serve a difficult business that’s started to feel like a taskmaster.
Rather, it’s about planning out the adventure ahead, with a tour guide who can help you read the maps, help you plan and pack the best supplies for the journey ahead, spot any obstacles worth knowing about (so you can go around, under, over or through), and hand you the lantern to light your way.
And there are even optional extras you can access, to have the tour guide come on the journey with you, if that’s what you end up deciding you’d like.
I’m Janette Dalgliesh
Ever since I was the union rep on a TV production in 1995 and went into battle for the child actors to get their proper lunch breaks, helping people to liberate themselves from toxic systems has been my jam.
I did it for nearly a decade, as a union organiser for actors and, later, for academics.
Since 2011, I’ve done it with many hundreds of students and clients.
I've been a student of astrology for over a decade, taking an anti-patriarchy and Jungian lens to this powerful symbolic language. And my favourite way to use it is to help people reconnect to the planetary allies that are the most enthusiastic and positive supporters of their goals and desires.
I’m also a potent coach, with two coaching qualifications totalling three years of training inside a very diverse student body, as well as various adjunct learnings in positive psychiatry, psychological first aid , trauma, identity shifting, conscious creation, mindset work, emotional intelligence, magic practices, and diversity, equity & inclusivity.
And with 20 years as a professional performer, a decade in progressive politics and union work, and growing up the daughter of a country doctor - it’s easy for me to work with clients from all walks of life.

“Janette’s practice of planetary magick is groundbreaking — both in its disruption of the old paradigm of “astrology” and in what it will create as a foundation for a new understanding of yourself and how to move through the world with fierce and compassionate grace.
The reading Janette did for me years ago, I still consider how Mars, Uranus, Jupiter and Venus play out in my chart. And how to leverage them for real abundance.
Janette's voice is my temporary voice of reason as I negotiate my way off the roundabout of over-commitment and burn-out, to find a calmer, more stable place where I value myself and my time, and stay physically, emotionally and psychologically healthy and engaged..”
What will be covered
Unveiling your inborn superpowers and gifts as well as those of your business, and then stepping in to use them in a strategic way, is a journey that begins with two maps: yours and that of your business (and yes, I’ll help you figure out how to arrive at that second one).
As we pore over those maps together, I’ll be translating them into plain English so that you can see the amazing ways that you and your business support each other; as well as the areas where your business is calling to awaken your own unique superpowers in new and possibly stretchy (but ultimately fabulous!) ways.
Along the way, you can expect to encounter any or all of the following, for yourself and your business:
Enthusiastic teams of planetary allies who each have their area of special interest - Mercury for commerce, Saturn for getting shit done, Jupiter for vision and Uranus for smashing through old crap - so you can see how YOUR allies like to operate, and also the allies your business can lend you, when you let it
A synastric view of your charts together (syn = together, astra = stars) - this is exactly the same approach astrologers have used for centuries to examine the strengths and challenges of human romantic relationships
Space for us to collaborate on a Strategic Plan you can use to make it easy to receive your business’s blessings, while amplifying your own superpowers
No more nasty crap in your head that says your chart is had ‘bad things’ in it (in 11 years of this work, I’ve never yet seen a ‘bad chart’ - only glorious humans - and other entities - full of potential)
No spiritual bypassing that ignores areas of challenge, and no toxic positivity which sticks a band-aid on the painful bits
Practical strategies to help you steer from where you’re at now, to someone who is fully living that joyful vision of your own potential
Access to simple brain-changing protocols and/or magic practices that boost the support of your allies, while helping retrain your brain out of any old unhelpful patterns
Permission to embrace your powers, including the ones that have felt unsafe in the past (you don’t actually NEED permission from me - that would be absurd! - but sometimes our nervous systems FEEL the need to have someone say ‘you can do this’)
No longer struggle in the exhaustion of trying to figure this shit out on your own (imagine having non-physical allies who can help with the heavy lifting - ahhhhh!)
If you’re yearning for a more loving, ease-filled and sustainable relationship with the business you’ve created, this is the first step. And it may well turn out to be all you need.

Fortune 500 Executive Coach and Motivational Speaker
“A few years ago (10/2020), you gave me my astrology reading and today looking back on it I AM BLOWN AWAY!!!!
I forgot some of those things AND watching you on screen today was like you were showing me my future once I stepped into all of my GIFTS. You even some of the words I use to describe myself- innovative, disruptive. Wow!
I watched the entire thing and looking at that version of me then to now is just so mind blowing. EVERYTHING you shared with me, especially my Jupiter and how I am here to take people beyond what they think is possible for them is just truly TRUTH of who I am, what I embody and the way I work. Thank you for such a beautiful gift. I am in awe all over again!”
The Nuts and Bolts
I am your cheerleader, your ally, your tour guide, your confidante and your partner-in-liberation, for the whole period of this Consult, not just during the time we meet face to face.
The You and Your Business StarMap Consult includes the following:
Preparatory work (that feels less like work, more like a big warm hug). Prior to your first session with me, you will have access to my deeply compassionate and potent process of self-enquiry, perfect to help us hit the ground running. Colleagues from the coaching world have described this part as being profoundly supportive, all on its own.
An initial 90-minute live Zoom call where you will meet and get to know your own chart and that of your business, from a big picture perspective. For each of you, we’ll explore who you came here to be, the purpose you came here to serve, what supports your emotional wellbeing (for your business, what makes it sing with joy), and more. And we’ll look at how your business supports you via its own special superpowers and gifts in these areas, which allies it brings to the table to help you, and how you can take advantage of these gifts.
A pause, while you absorb everything you’ve learned, and you begin creating a day to day relationship with the most potent ‘big picture allies’ revealed in our first session. This is usually one to three weeks, for best results, and I’ll help you lean into it with ease.
A second 90-minute session where we examine this relationship at the micro level, exploring the gifts you and your business each bring when it comes to the nuts and bolts of business: marketing, sales, customer relations, business structures, choosing and taking ‘right’ actions, and so on.
During our time together, we’ll collaborate to create a Strategic Plan for you to implement at your own pace, based on everything we learn from our explorations.
Each video call last for 90 minutes, you can have your camera on or off, I will be sharing my screen so you can see exactly what I’m looking at in your chart, and the calls are recorded (either directly to your computer, or to my cloud server if you’re using a mobile device and need to download it later).
I will never use complicated astrological terminology without explaining it in plain English, and making sure you understand exactly what it means for you - the point of this whole thing is to be useful!
You’ll get a one-page ‘cheat sheet’ PDF outlining your unique Strategic Plan, so you can keep it handy
You’ll also get a lightly edited copy of my working notes, so you can easily remind yourself why you’re doing the different parts of your Strategic Plan. You can revisit the recording at any time, but sometimes you want a quick and handy reference doc, and this is it.
Bonus resources. I have a wide range of coaching resources I’ve created over the years, and if I recommend one which would normally incur a cost, you get it included with your Consult, so there are no extra costs.
OPTIONAL - you can, if you wish, add on 30 days of Asynchronous (AS) Coaching support at a special discounted price. This Add-On is ideal if you decide you’d like some help integrating and implementing the Strategic Plan for 30 days. This is not an ‘upsell’ as I will only make it available to you after our second Zoom call, and you’ll have 30 days to decide. This is only available to folks who have recently done a StarMap with me. AS Coaching happens when we’re not present at the same time - in other words, via some kind of messaging system, rather than in a ‘live’ conversation. I prefer to use Signal, WhatsApp or Voxer, as they allow for both text messages and short voice memos. Email is also an option.
There are some ephemeral ingredients you can also expect to encounter in our time together:
Compassion: the most effective backdrop for change and growth, and a potent antidote to the mean voices and brain weasels in your head
Animal-body safety: comfort and consolation for your nervous system, no matter how fried, jangled or overwhelmed she is, or how busy you are
Absence of rush: we live in a culture renowned for its addiction to instant gratification, pressure of time, and FOMO. If you’ve ever tried accelerating hard off slippery mud, you know that rush usually results in standing still; while gentle acceleration is what gets traction. Absence of rush is a core ingredient in my work, and will be included in the foundation of your Strategic Plan.
A note about the cost
I’ve never wanted the giant scaled-up business empire with a team of coaches and a bathtub overlooking the Eiffel Tower.
But my work does need for me to make a living, which is why I do it as a business and not as a non-profit or a hobby.
And the stark reality for all of us is that we live in a world where people’s access to resources is wildly variable, in ways that have nothing to do with their innate brilliance or their gifts or their knowledge; and everything to do with the systems in which we were all raised.
So I use ‘Pay from the heart’ pricing, as taught by the brilliant Mark Silver from Heart of Business.
For all of my StarMap offers, there are three prices to choose from.
Here’s how to make your decision:
first, ask your heart ‘is this the thing I need or want right now?’- and listen for a powerful yes or a powerful no
second, ask your heart which of the three prices is most appropriate for you to pay (the $$ details are shown for each one below)
Standard: the ‘break even’ price, which enables me to keep the business going, and to put food on my table and a roof over my head
Growth: a generous amount designed for those who have more access to wealth and resources, who relish the opportunity to help subsidise those with less, and who want to support the growth of my business so I can, in turn, help more people
Hardhip: an accessible price for those who are in a situation where paying more would put their own food and shelter at risk.
Regardless of which price you pick, you will get the exact same service - no ‘punishment’ for needing to use the Hardship pricing; and no FOMO-inducing ‘VIP extras’ for choosing the Growth option (though of course, you will get lashings of gratitude, if that’s your pick)
I don’t use traditional equity pricing, where prices are set based on someone’s membership of a historically marginalised community - it’s not a terrible model, but I prefer to make space for the reality that there are many individuals from those communities who have found a way to break free of old generational constraints; and there are many in traditionally privileged groups whose personal circumstances may be difficult.
Pay from the heart means I trust you to choose the price that is most appropriate to your own situation, the price that your own heart quietly whispers in your ear.

Your Business and You StarMap Consult:
This is the all-inclusive price and covers everything mentioned above, except the optional extra month of coaching (see below)

Y, ou get to figure this out AFTER our Zoom calls are done, when you will know much more about where you’re at and what kind of help you might need, but I’m putting this here in the interests of transparency. One month of asynchronous coaching, to support the implementation of strategies emerging from your Your Business and You StarMap Consult. You’ll get a link for this offer in my follow up email after our final session together, and from that date you have 30 days to decide.

FAQs
-
Great question!
We humans are eternal beings having a temporary human existence, and we have a clear “arrival” - a moment of emerging into our own separate existence. We call it childbirth - it’s pretty dramatic and obvious, which makes it easy to observe.
Your business also had a moment of emerging into physical reality, because it’s already clearly present in your website, the art you've already sold, the people you’ve helped, and so on - even if it’s had blocks or stumbles along the way.
Your business’s “date of birth” is the moment you FEEL that it first came forth in that way.
It could be an official registration date. Or the moment your website went live. Or the first person you helped (paid or unpaid). Or the first painting sold, or the first solo exhibition, or the first poem accepted.
Some part of you already knows. And you could also ask your business for her thoughts.
Remember, for some of us there is a gestation period where we know this thing-we-want-to-do is emerging, but it's not yet here. That gestation can be anything from days to decades - and the moment of ‘arrival’ is something most people can sense or feel or just know.
And if you have trouble figuring this out alone, it is definitely something I can help you with before we meet up.
-
Absolutely - and there are some caveats, to do with privacy and consent. Drop me a note for the details and how to do it.
-
No, because your journey is in your own hands. But I can give you clues on how best to navigate big things you know are coming up.
For example, if you have a family wedding in six months time, I can’t tell you what to wear or what will happen or whether naughty Uncle Bertie will behave.
But I CAN tell you what kinds of ‘astro weather’ will be at play and how to surf it to your best advantage.
-
My astrology lineage includes Kim Falconer, Liz Greene and Joanne Wickenburg, so my astrology work has a Jungian foundation.
And I bring to the work two coaching qualifications representing three core years of training all up, plus various adjunct training in positive psychiatry, psychological first aid, trauma, identity shifting, emotional intelligence, chaos magic and diversity, equity and inclusivity.

Liberating people from toxic BS systems is my jam. Ever since I was union rep on a TV production in 1995, and went into battle for the child actors to get their proper lunch breaks, I’ve helped thousands of people. I did it first as a union organiser for actors and, later, academics. And since 2011, I’ve done it with hundreds of coaching clients. With 20 years as a professional performer, a few years in progressive politics and union work, a writing qualification, and growing up the daughter of a country doctor, it’s easy for me to work with clients from all walks of life. I’m fiercely passionate about freeing women from those old toxic systems in our heads, so we can all wreak more joy in the world and fulfil our true purpose.
Ready to Roll? Awesome!
If you need to ask any questions before committing to buy, do please use the form below to contact me. And if you’re ready to do this thing, please use this section to choose your pricing option and book your session.
All you need to do is choose your own timezone, then use the scheduler to choose the right date and time for you. No need to ask ‘is this okay?’ - I have my calendar automagically synced up with my booking system, so if a time shows up as being available in my calendar, it is okay to book.
You will book your first session upon purchase, and at the end of your session I’ll give you the link to book your second session - we do it this way because up front, we don’t yet know how long you’ll want between sessions.
Please note all prices are in USD.
Cancellations & Refunds
When you book and pay, you’ll get a confirmation email with a link so you can dive into the pre-session work.
It will also include buttons you can use to reschedule that session, as well as a button to put it into your calendar.
You’ll also get reminder emails 24 hours and 1 hour before the session, so you won’t miss it.
You can easily reschedule with the reschedule button, as long as it’s at least 24 hours beforehand. If you need to reschedule with less than 24 hours’ notice, you’ll need to drop me an email - this is to make sure I have time to get the notification of the change before we meet up!
Refunds
I don’t offer cancellation with a refund simply for a change of mind, so I want you to be really sure before you commit - if you’re not sure after reading this page in detail, do please reach out with any questions so I can support you to make a powerful decision one way or the other.
I also know that a change of circumstances is a very different situation from a change of mind, so refunds may be available - and we’d need to have a conversation first.
Refunds are based on the following principles:
Not available once our first Zoom session has taken place
All future appointments are cancelled
You’ll stay on my email list, unless you unsubscribe as a separate thing (which you’re always welcome to do!)
If you’ve submitted any pre-work information, that data will immediately be deleted from my system
If I have given you access to any of my bonus resources, that access will be revoked
There will be an administrative fee of $50 USD deducted from your refund
Questions? Awesome!
Please use this form to ask me anything at all, and I’ll get back to you as soon as humanly possible.
(Note - it might be the middle of the night for me right now, or I may be with a client, so ‘humanly possible’ generally means some time in the next 24 hours)
