Ep 12 - Using Moon Cycles to Choose Business Dates with Stephanie Gailing

Show Notes

In this episode, astrological consultant and wellness coach Stephanie Gailing explains how we can use astrology and lunar cycles to calculate the best dates for business activities such as product launches, hirings, dealmaking and more.

Detailed Summary

Timing isn’t just about calendars and deadlines—it can also be about aligning with cosmic cycles. In this episode of Woo Biz, Andy Walker sits down with astrology consultant, wellness advisor, and author Stephanie Gailing to explore how lunar phases can guide business decisions, from launching a product to hiring a new executive.

Stephanie shares insights from more than 20 years of practice as an astrologer, dream worker, and family constellations facilitator.
