How I Balance Intuition & Strategy in Business Decisions

In business, I believe our decisions are most powerful when they’re both strategic and intuitive. When we listen not only to the numbers and the plans, but to the quiet wisdom in our bodies, energy, and yes, even our birth charts.

This isn’t just about astrology or systems. It’s about building a business that actually feels like you. So today, I’m sharing how I make decisions in my business and how I let intuition & strategy co-create every step forward.

However, along the way, many entrepreneurs and small business owners unknowingly make mistakes that dilute their impact, leading to inconsistency, confusion, and missed opportunities. These common branding mistakes can make it tougher to stand out and connect with the right people. If your brand feels all over the place or isn’t resonating, it can lead to missed opportunities and a weaker presence in your industry. The good news? Most of these mistakes are completely avoidable with the right approach.

Let’s talk about some common branding mistakes and, most importantly, how to avoid them so your brand shines with clarity, confidence, and authenticity, ensuring that your business makes a lasting impression.

Strategy: The Sacred Structure That Holds the Vision

Strategy is about vision. It’s about direction, decision-making, and ensuring that every creative move I make is rooted in purpose and aligned with the overall goals of the project. It’s how I stay focused on the big picture while moving through the creative process with intention and clarity.

My Capricorn Mars in the 6th house is part of a powerful stellium with Mercury, Neptune, and Uranus. This means I bring not just discipline, but also innovation, intuition, and deep analysis into the creative work I do with clients.

Strategy is what keeps my design projects from spiraling into pretty-but-pointless territory. It ensures that we’re not just creating something beautiful; rather, we’re creating something that moves the needle for my clients. It’s how I make sure every design choice, color palette, or website flow is anchored in a clear objective.

For brand identity work, this means starting every custom branding project with a strategy phase where we clarify the client's vision, values, audience, and market position. We define messaging pillars and visual direction before any intuitive design magic begins. This way, the creativity is guided, not chaotic, and always intentional.

For custom web design, I start all projects with a strategy phase where we map out content structure, user journey, and functionality goals in advance. I don’t open a design program until we know what needs to be said, shown, and experienced on each page. That’s strategy at work. It ensures we're not just making a website that looks good, but making a website that works.

Capricorn Mars doesn’t rush. She builds intentionally. Strategy, to me, is what keeps everything aligned and impactful. It’s how I channel my creativity into something that actually supports my clients’ growth on a holistic level.
