Welcome to the final blog of our Future-Proof series! If you've been with us throughout the first 3 blogs, you know we've been exploring how 2025 will transform everything we know about scaling an online business.
And today's blog feels particularly potent, because we're wrapping up during a powerful cosmic moment that's practically demanding our attention.
How Mars Retrograde Will Impact Your 2025 Business Strategy
You see, we're in a rare period with both Mars AND Mercury in retrograde. We're closing off the year AND starting 2025 with Mars in retrograde, which feels really significant.
You see, Mars isn't just any planet - it's our cosmic warrior. It governs our energy, our ambition, and how we take action in our business.
And its retrograde isn't just happening at any time - it's perfectly aligned with when most of us are planning our 2025 business strategies.
Coincidence? I think not.
If you've been following me for a while, you know I'm all about building businesses that convert consistently without sacrificing our wellbeing.
And this Mars retrograde? It's basically giving us a cosmic permission slip to pause and make sure we're building something sustainable.
Breaking Through Business Growth Patterns: A Personal Journey
This isn't just abstract astrology - I'm watching it play out in real time with my clients, and even in my own business.
This Mars retrograde is activating my 8th house - the house of transformation and deep inner work.
Just this week, I felt the final pieces of a pattern I've been working on for years finally surface. It was this deep-seated belief that my worth, my results, my success... they all had to be tied to how much I was working.
I know I'm not alone in this.
How many of you can feel that same pattern running in your business right now? That voice that says "If you're not constantly working, you're not doing enough"?
And it's being able to identify these kinds of patterns that is MOST important for creating your scaling plan for 2025.
Because if we're not reviewing this, we end up reinforcing the same patterns that are likely blocking us from moving into our next iteration of abundance, receivership, recognition and success.
Transform Your Business Growth:
The Power of Pattern Recognition
Let me share something that stopped me in my tracks last week.
One of my NEON clients, currently at $20K months, said something profound:
"I'm so grateful we cleaned up my systems first, because you don't want to scale your $20K problems into $50K problems."
This hits at something I've seen repeatedly in my work - the same patterns that got you to success might be the exact ones blocking your next level of wealth.
It's why in NEON, our quarterly planning guide starts with two full sections of reflection before we touch strategy.
Because part of my intention in my coaching practice is to not only support my clients with the business strategy, but with the corresponding emotional and energetic support to ensure they can create *sustainable* results.
Using Astrological Insights for Strategic Business Planning
And right now, with Mars retrograde in Leo, we're getting cosmic support to examine these patterns, particularly around:
How we're showing up as leaders
Where we're forcing action instead of flowing
Which platforms truly align with our leadership style
I'm seeing this play out beautifully with one of my clients who spent this year really refining and simplifying her business model.
Now, as we approach 2025, she's experiencing this incredible clarity and excitement about her offers. Everything feels more streamlined, more powerful.
This Mars retrograde in Leo is creating the perfect container for some clients to seriously reconsider their marketing platforms and leadership approach for 2025.
It's like the universe is giving us this cosmic pause button - a chance to really examine how we want to lead, not just how we think we "should" lead.
And with Mercury retrograde happening simultaneously? We're getting double cosmic support to review, reflect, and recalibrate our systems before charging ahead into the new year.
Personalised Business Strategy Based on Your Astrological Chart
I've created a blog specifically about Mars retrograde, including some reflections based on your Rising Sign. You can read it here.
For example, if you're an Aries Rising then Leo sits in your 5th house.
The fifth house is the realm of creative self-expression, joy, pleasure, and what makes our hearts sing. During this retrograde, you're examining your relationship with pleasure, play, and creative risk-taking.
This house also rules romance, children, and speculative ventures - anywhere we put our heart on the line.
For Aries rising folks, connecting to this playful, creative energy is essential for feeling fully alive.
You might find yourself reviewing where you've made creativity into a "should" rather than a joy, or where fear of judgment has dimmed your natural exuberance.
Consider:
Which parts of your business truly light you up?
Where might you be playing small with your offerings?
Are you creating for external validation or genuine fulfilment?
How can you bring more pleasure into your daily work?
2025 Planning Focus: Create conditions that spark creativity and protect your joy. Consider blocking out regular "play dates" with yourself where the only goal is enjoyment.
This might mean starting your day with movement that feels good, scheduling regular creative sessions where there's no pressure to produce, or building in time for activities that make you lose track of time.
Overcoming Limiting Business Patterns: A Strategic Approach
Let's explore what can happen when we're not spending enough time reflecting on the patterns that might be influencing the way we run (and plan) our businesses.
In NEON, I'm seeing this pattern emerge more and more - especially during this retrograde period. When we first start working together, clients often come with a long list of "shoulds":
"I should be on every platform"
"I should be launching every month"
"I should want a 7-figure business"
"I should have a huge team"
But here's what's fascinating - when we strip away these "shoulds," what emerges is often simpler, more profitable, and infinitely more sustainable.
Remember in our first blog when we talked about Pluto moving into Aquarius? Pluto is the cosmic excavator - it brings hidden truths to the surface.
One of our most powerful tools is actually understanding our deepest desire before we start planning.
The Desire Audit: A Revolutionary Business Planning Tool
Here's how it works:
First, we remove all the "shoulds."
Then, we ask what you truly want when:
You remove the shame
You ask the "responsible" version of you to take a back seat
You stop worrying about what others might think
For example, one of our clients realised she actually wanted a simple, high-ticket model with just 8 clients per year.
She was pushing herself toward group programs because she thought that's what scaling "should" look like. It's what she had been told.
Once she gave herself permission to desire what she truly wanted, everything changed. It started moving in a direction that she was infinitely more excited about.
Creating Your 2025 Strategic Vision:
A Pattern-Breaking Framework
Take a moment to reflect:
What "shoulds" are running your business right now? Write them all down - even (especially!) the ones that make you squirm.
If no one was watching, if no one would judge, what would you change about your business model tomorrow?
What parts of your current strategy light you up, and which ones drain your energy?
Think about your most successful clients or projects - what was different about them? What made them work so well?
If you removed all pressure to scale in a certain way, what kind of growth would actually excite you?
What's one "should" you could release before 2025 that would create more space for what you truly desire?
Take your time with these questions. Maybe even revisit them during this Mars retrograde period when we have cosmic support for this kind of deep reflection.
NEON: Transformative Business Support for 2025
This is exactly why I created NEON - because navigating this transformation alone is like trying to perform surgery on yourself. Possible? Maybe. Advisable? Definitely not.
Let me show you exactly what support looks like in NEON. Here's what happened in just one 24-hour period last week:
🔍 Worked intimately with a client to analyse her revenue by offer in preparation for her Q1 planning session.
Because being data-driven isn't just a buzzword for us – it's how we create sustainable growth.
When you understand exactly what's working and what's profitable, you can make decisions that actually move the needle.
📊 Deep-dived into a client's launch statistics, identifying key shifts needed in her content strategy to drive stronger conversions.
Then mapped out her next steps for audience growth because her conversion rates are already fire – we just need more gasoline on that flame 🔥
🌙 Recorded personalised Loom videos breaking down upcoming astrological transits for a client, showing her exactly how to work with this energy in her business (including specific strategies for the Sagittarius New Moon).
📈 Co-created a comprehensive quarterly audience growth strategy that builds on her existing success.
Because in NEON, we're not about random tactics – we build on what's working and scale it strategically.
🎯 Refined a client's ad strategy and connected her directly with our FB ads specialist for additional support (because sometimes you need more than one expert's eyes on your strategy)
This level of support isn't an accident. I've intentionally designed NEON to be everything I wished I had when scaling my own business:
A dedicated "#jazzesriffs" channel for real-time launch updates and industry trends
Specialised channels for sacral and non-sacral types
An active AI thread with new demos and strategies
Daily M-F support in our Slack space
This is why our clients stay for an average of 18 months and why we have a 75% retention rate.
Because NEON isn't just another group program – it's a deeply transformative space where data meets intuition, strategy meets Human Design, and your unique business gets the attention it deserves.

FAQ
-
Creating a recession-proof business strategy requires focusing on sustainable growth rather than rapid scaling. Start by diversifying your revenue streams, building strong systems and automation, and maintaining healthy profit margins. It's crucial to have both high-ticket and accessible offers, strong client retention strategies, and an emergency fund. Consider how economic shifts might impact your ideal clients and adjust your offerings accordingly. Working with a business strategist who understands both traditional business principles and energetic alignment can help you create a business model that remains profitable during economic fluctuations.
-
The online business landscape is evolving rapidly. Key trends include: the integration of AI for business automation and personalization, increased focus on community-building over traditional marketing, shift toward sustainable and conscious business practices, rise of hybrid service delivery models combining automated and high-touch components, and emphasis on mental health and work-life balance in business models. We're also seeing a move away from traditional "hustle culture" toward more sustainable, aligned business practices that prioritize profitability over revenue.
-
Evaluate your business model's future relevance by examining several factors: your client attraction and retention rates, profit margins (not just revenue), scalability without burnout, and alignment with emerging industry trends. Ask yourself: Can your offers be adapted to incorporate AI and automation? Does your model allow for both growth and sustainability? Are you building genuine connections with your audience? Consider working with a business strategist or joining a mastermind focused on future-proofing service-based businesses. The most sustainable models will be those that can adapt to changing market conditions while maintaining profitability and personal wellbeing.
