Ellen Longo
Welcome, everyone: old friends, clients, new friends, those of you I’ve met, those I’ll meet through these pages. Welcome to a long-term, mutually beneficial conversation about the wisdom of astrology as it pertains to the success and profitability of your business. Whether you are in the start-up phase, are currently running a successful business, or planning a change, alignment with the natural cycles of the planets can inform your path.
My background includes astrology, business, taxes, accounting, financial planning, spirituality, writing, and teaching.
- I hold a current CPA license and Certified Financial Planner designation. My degree is in Business Administration.
- I owned and managed a business advisory practice in Taos, New Mexico called Taos Financial Strategies for twenty years. During that time I helped course-correct many different businesses that were facing various financial and management challenges.
- I then accepted a position as Chief Financial Officer and Director of Headquarter Operations for a large international non-profit based in New York. As leader of the Executive Team, I was responsible for the Finance, Legal, Marketing, Products, Risk Management, I.T., and Strategic Planning areas.
- After 10 years, in November 2008 I decided to pursue my first love, Astrology, and merge it with my other first love, Business.
- I began studying Astrology thirty-five years ago, and throughout the course of my business career, always used it to guide and enlighten me.
- I have studied with an Indian spiritual master since 1985.
My intention for this blog is to examine business topics from an astrological point of view, to share my own extensive experience, and to pass along to you insights that will help you understand how to use the ancient wisdom of astrology in your business.
- We’ll talk about the current trends in the marketplace as shown by the cycles in the skies.
- We’ll look at fascinating case studies involving the intersection of business and astrology.
- We’ll have guest interviews with people who have successfully used astrology to improve their business success.
- We’ll discuss current business news in light of the progress of the planets through the sky.
- We’ll have a smattering of the history of astrology and how it’s been used to insure the success of rulers and presidents(!).
- And we’ll always focus on how you can use astrology to make your business more enjoyable, profitable, and beneficial to your world.
I welcome your comments and hope we can create a dialogue in which we can all learn.
