You know you’re here for more than just surviving: you’re here for thriving.

But some days it’s really tough to figure out who you truly are, or why you really came to planet Earth, or how you’re supposed to take your passion and purpose out into the world.

Maybe you’ve tried to figure out your true dreams, desires and purpose by running numbers or listing out what you’re already good at or detailing the pros and cons.

Or you’ve tried flying by the seat of your pants, hoping for the best, but somehow you end up going astray somewhere so it feels like now you’re in some weird alternate reality.

Or you catch yourself at a crossroads feeling so wound up in a kind of existential crisis, the very thought of forward movement is just … impossible.

Or worst of all, you end up following a plan made by someone else, which promises to deliver your dreams - only to discover it feels like bamboo under the fingernails and doesn’t work anyway.

Ugh! Time for a different approach.

Strategic StarMaps

A roadmap to thriving, based on powerful insights into who you truly are, what you came here to do, and how to do it in ways that are uniquely your own.

This is for you if:

  • you identify as a woman or non-binary person

  • you know you have an important purpose in life, if only you could figure out what it is

  • you’re open to the possibility that planetary magic might have something to offer (you might already be an expert in astrology, or you might never have seen your own chart - as long as you’re curious, that’s all I ask!)

  • you’ve been tolerating the pain of uncertainty or self-doubt for so long, it’s almost normal - but deep down you know it’s not, and you know it’s time for some clarity

  • you’re in business and ready for more expansion and growth without the pushing and self-bullying

  • you’re in a day job and yearning to start your own thing, but you keep hesitating because you’re not sure …

  • you’re exhausted because it seems you’ve been battling self-doubt way longer than you should

This is not for you if:

  • you’re a man - please know that I love and respect you guys, but my work isn’t going to light you up in the way that it does for the women-oriented or non-binary folks - and of course I have loads of people to whom I can refer you.

  • you have zero belief in the non-physical. I don’t mean you have to have 100% complete faith 24/7, and you certainly don’t have to be any kind of ‘expert’. I simply mean you don’t believe AT ALL, and you’re not curious to explore. 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 aren’t quite ready for the kind of focus you expect from a 1:1 consulting experience, and group work is going to be more your style. I get that! Do please sign up to my email list, so you get notified when I’m next running a group program, as that might be a good starting place.

  • you’re looking for a quick fix with lots of ‘rah rah’ dude-bro hustle. While it’s true that fast change is possible, in my world that comes from kindness turned inwards, and a deliberate absence of rush. That can feel uncomfortable, but it’s effective.

The stars don’t dictate who you are. 

They reveal the full, glorious human being that you came here to be.

You didn’t arrive on the planet as a blank slate. 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.

It’s a YOUness which can never be erased or lost - but it can get 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 the families of origin, and from our own lived experiences.

Your natal (birth) chart is simultaneously a snapshot of all that original potential, and a roadmap to help you navigate the journey back to truly liberating your own self.

In a Star Map consult with me, it’s like planning out the adventure with a tour guide who can help you read the map, 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.

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 and stand in their own power, 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 clients. 

I've been a student of astrology for years, taking an anti-oppression and Jungian lens to this powerful symbolic language, and helping people connect to the planetary allies that are most appropriate to their goals and desires. I regularly write and teach ways to have a new relationship with some key planetary allies, liberating the zodiac itself from some of the repressive tropes that have beset our understanding of the stars.

My two coaching qualifications included three core years of training inside a very diverse student body, as well as various adjunct training in positive psychiatry, psychological first aid , trauma, identity shifting, emotional intelligence, chaos magic and diversity, equity & inclusivity - so I know how to take good care of your tender heart as you open up to your own spectacular power.

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.

What will be covered

Astrology, like the Enneagram, Human Design and similar systems for getting clear about who you are, often arrives as a bunch of information, sometimes quite complex, that doesn’t necessarily provide a bridge from where you’re at, to where you want to be.

With a Strategic StarMap, you’ll end up with a strategic roadmap which takes into account:

  • the current state of your animal body - your nervous system and your energy levels (because pushing through or using willpower to overcome fatigue or trauma is not a solution)

  • the circumstances of your life right now - where you’re starting out from (because anything which doesn’t acknowledge your situation can be inhumane and create unhelpful pressures)

  • your own unique and unshakeable superpowers - your gifts, natural style, preferences, passion and purpose (because those are the key ingredients that provide fuel for your sustainable path forwards)

  • the astrological “weather” around us - the planets and players interacting with your own chart (because it makes life so much easier if you can surf those waves instead of having to paddle like fury!)

And you’ll have a strategic plan to bring it all down to earth - a plan which may include:

  • practical next steps to take

  • resources to explore

  • ways to activate and fuel specific planetary allies (Saturn for purpose, Venus for clarity of desire, Mercury for commerce and communications, Uranus for breaking out of old oppressive systems - and so on)

You may decide that you’d like further support for implementing your strategic plan, and that’s certainly possible. But I won’t be doing any kind of pitch during our time together - this is a whole package, all on its own.

Radical Roots Somatics

“I have to share the very special session I had with Janette Dalgliesh this month.

Every time I connect with Janette, I walk away feeling more grounded, more powerful, more me. She has a way of acknowledging the realness—the personal hardships I have carried and the horrifying mess this world is in—and still yet always manages to leave me feeling strong, resourced, and ready.

So this year, I treated myself to a session with her for my birthday—and let me tell you, it was the ultimate soul-level gift. That hour felt like a spa day for my heart. I don’t think I’ve ever felt so deeply seen and valued.

Now, as I’m finally sitting down to read the report she sent afterward, I’m absolutely blown away. It’s 6pm, I’ve been on the go for 13 hours, haven’t eaten dinner—and yet, I feel lit up, calm, and completely capable. Like I can conquer anything... but also like I don’t need to rush. Because I know, deep in my bones, I’ve got this.

If you’re seeking support that meets you where you are and lifts you toward where you want to go, Janette is that rare kind of guide. And if you’re even thinking about working with Janette—stop thinking and go book the session. She is pure magic.”

The Nuts and Bolts

There are a few different StarMaps available, but here’s what they have in common:

  • You begin with an extremely gentle and compassionate process of self-enquiry, which helps us both prepare for the session. Nothing you say can shock me, and nothing is off limits, I promise.

  • Our session(s) happen on Zoom and camera is optional. I’ll set it up so you can record to your own computer, or I will record it for you and upload it to the cloud, because it’s likely to be rich and dense, and you’ll want to go back and revisit at least once, probably more.

  • I’ll explore everything in your chart(s), and then I will focus on the planetary allies most suited to supporting your current goals and any issues or barriers you’re seeking to resolve, so we can have that powerful laser focus and not be distracted by trying to cram in All The Things.

  • We’ll explore these potent planetary allies through the lens of ‘how can I best take advantage of these superpowers, to boost my purpose and my joy?’.

  • We’ll collaborate on creating the best possible roadmap for you - whether that’s an overall plan for the future, a specific plan for the next 3 months, or something else.

  • And if necessary, I’ll equip you to hack through any old thickets we find in the way (aka any blockages and barriers), using the best options from my wide array of coaching tools.

By the end, you’ll have:

  • A far better understanding of how your own purpose and superpowers support your current goals

  • A joyful sense of ‘permission’ to do things your own unique way, rather than how the experts say those things should be done (to be clear - I can’t give you permission, because you don’t need it from me; but that is often how it feels)

  • A beautifully post-colonial, anti-patriarchy understanding of the key planetary allies who are the support team for your goals (any part of you which longs to disrupt or dismantle outmoded systems is going to love this bit!)

  • Neuroscience-and-magic based tactics, to help you bring your dreams and goals to fruition

  • A clear, doable strategic plan

After our session, I will put together a simple one-page PDF with the key strategic plan, and send it to you as a handy cheat sheet to help you stay on track (because brains can be tricky lil’ buggers and revert to their old patterns, without an aide-memoire).

I’ll provide you any of my own coaching tools I might have recommended, such as a stress-busting protocol or a guided meditation.

And I’ll give you my working notes, because that can help you remember where the strategy came from, and why it will work.

You’ll find info about the various options below - click through to read the details for each one, so you can be sure it’s what you need.

A note about the cost

I use ‘Pay from the heart’ pricing, as taught by the brilliant Mark Silver from Heart of Business. If you’re curious about the concept, you can register with Mark to receive a free webinar on the topic - but please make sure you come back here after you click his link!

I’ve never really wanted the giant scaled-up business empire with a team of coaches, a slick YouTube channel and a bathtub overlooking the Eiffel Tower.

But my work does need for me to make a reasonable 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.

For each of my StarMap packages, there are three prices to choose from.

Here’s how to make your decision:

  1. first, ask your heart ‘is this the thing I need or want right now?’- and listen for a powerful yes or a powerful no

  2. once you know, 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

Hardship: 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 Access 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 ❤️)

My own four planets in Libra absolutely RELISH a situation where those who have much, are ready to kick in a little extra to support those who have less.

It feels truly beautiful to be able to offer this here.

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.

“Janette is intuitive in mysterious ways. She is a magic maker. She is powerfully compassionate and a fierce advocate for her clients. Janette is generous, present, and in my personal experience, almost always five steps ahead of me when I feel stuck or lost. Janette can see through the fog better than almost anyone I know.

Janette is a master at both creating a space to heal and grow AND holding that space without judgement in what feels like an infinite absence of rush. Janette‘s work feels like the calm, the storm, and the rebirth after the storm. All of those things can live in one session with her.”

  • Jodi Cleghorn, Word Witch

    Every recovering over-achiever needs a Janette.

    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 enough to make decisions which are sensible and take into consideration what one woman alone can achieve and stay physically, emotionally and psychologically healthy and engaged.

  • Fi Joy, Art

    While I appreciated your knowledge astrologically ... what I really got and am still grateful for was a wonderful coach and fellow trailblazer who held space beautifully, while holding a mirror up so I could explore all the places and opportunities that I could grow from.

  • Jacqueline Gates, Leading Lady Coach

    Here’s the thing about working with Janette, the successes kind of sneak up on you. You become that person you dream of being … ie the one who doesn’t have that crappy vibe … so subtly that only hindsight makes the transformation visible.

    Case in point – This goddess worked with Janette in July to get rid of a chronic feeling of my-stuff’s-not-good-enough-to-launch-a-program. By August, I’d launched and delivered (with huge success, I might add) my inaugural Three Goddess Program. But I didn’t put two and two together until later!

    Because, instead of being a doubt-ridden-and-fearful entrepreneur, I had become a goddess-leader-who-launches, and this new BEingness was so natural, so TRUE, that I never even noticed the shift.

    Dear reader, if, when you think of what you’d most love to do/be/have, you have a voice in your head that says ‘NO’ … then you have a vibe that’s keeping you small, unsuccessful and unfulfilled. And Janette can help you with that faster, and easier, than anyone else I know.

  • Katie F, Doctoral Candidate

    I felt an overwhelming paralysis when faced with writing up my doctoral study over quite some time. Janette worked with me to change the narrative. I have moved from feeling physically sick when I looked at a blank page to completely blown away by a new reality in a few short weeks of personal coaching. Not only did Janette help free me from the ‘bindweed’ of the enormous task at hand but I was able to transform a judgemental, negative vibration into a successful process to move forward. As the original narrative was unlocked, so were other negative narratives that were holding me back. I have moved from a life of “I should” to “I could” practicing new ways of looking at the world. I have been able to unlock the negative vibrations in other parts of my life and continue to use the strategies that Janette has taught me to be excited and empowered every day. Thank you Janette for enveloping me in the possibilities of a new reality!

  • Charlotte Remakus, Retired Psychologist

    When I first began working with Janette, I felt I was in a black hole with no recourse. I was having serious relationship issues. From the very first session she focused on the problem, and offered solutions and tools which made sense, and I could put into operation immediately.

    I tried therapy with a counselor before and that left me more distraught than when I began therapy. I needed a female life coach who could make me feel better with the first session.

    If you are timid, I suggest you give Janette a try. She immediately connects with you in a warm and engaging manner and is very well versed in her ability to get to the root of the problem and suggest strategies. She has a wealth of strategies and the science to back them. After working with Janette for three months weekly, I went from deep despair to a woman of joy and peace with a wealth of strategies to practice whenever needed. I am becoming the wise woman crone I so desire to be. With gratitude to Janette!

FAQs

  • It's very different from all the other self-help stuff out there, because it takes into account how the system is rigged. Research shows that little girls are trained from a very early age to ignore their own needs while noticing and prioritising the needs of others, where little boys are taught to notice their own needs and figure out how to have them met. Little girls also learn early that seeking to express themselves fully is inappropriate, shameful or dangerous. Most self help books and productivity programs approach these issues as if they are a personal flaw that needs fixing. My approach works because I directly address the systemic BS that got planted in your head, freeing you from any of the self-blame or shame which is such an issue for many women

  • My two coaching qualifications included three core years of training all up, plus various adjunct training in positive psychiatry, psychological first aid, trauma, identity shifting, emotional intelligence, astrology, chaos magic and diversity, equity and inclusivity. I'm a life coach, not a therapist or a doctor, so I will not diagnose; and I will not prescribe or recommend things for you to take (such as supplements, herbs or drugs). For more details, please visit https://www.janettedalgliesh.com/what-coaching-is

  • I do, but it might not look the way you’re used to! My approach to accountability is based on making it as fun as possible, so you’re far more likely to snortgiggle when you see a note from me, rather than feeling weighed down. I don’t do bullying or nagging, though I do know those things can work for SOME people. If being pushed hard to the point of bullying is what truly inspires you and helps you thrive, I may not be your girl (because I don’t believe that kind of pressure is helpful).

  • Yes, with some caveats.

    We’d need to get on the same page in relation to matters of consent and confidentiality for the loved one to whom you’d like to make the gift.

    Please use the booking form below to arrange a zoom chat so you and I can talk it through - because I would love to help.

What next?

Investing in a coach is a big thing.

I want you to feel as safe and welcome as possible, so if this is your first time coaching with me, we’ll need to chat first.

This will not be a ‘sales pitch’ type call - in fact, I will encourage you NOT to make a decision to buy during our conversation.

After we talk, I will encourage you to take time, to really sit with your heart, to get clear about whether it’s a ‘hell yes!’ or a ‘ugh, no’, and only then make a choice about whether to hire me. And of course, if your heart is yelling YES QUEEN!!!! while we’re chatting, and you want to make that decision - I’m going to trust your instincts!

I’m always open to answering any questions you might have, to help with the decision making process, and it never has to be awkward.
