Dear Mallory

Dear Mallory,

I have reached a critical point in my entrepreneurial journey as a budding makeup artist. Currently, I host a weekly live stream makeup tutorial class. My online beauty community is growing and I am excited about my future. What professional advice can you share?

Dear Enthusiastic Sagittarius,

I see why you’re excited.

Your chart is Fire + Air dominant and heavily concentrated at the top of the chart.

Translation: you are wired for visibility. You are meant to be the sage on the stage.

Your livestreams? Exactly right. You are innately authoritative and command attention quite easily. 

With your Sun, Venus, and Pluto in the 9th house, your role is to teach the masses.

You’re built to broadcast ideas, philosophy, and meaning. 

Not simply technique, but perspective. 

The bigger picture - you are uniquely qualified to build a belief system around beauty, one that reframes it as a vehicle for personal evolution not just aesthetics.

And your Pisces Moon in the 12th house is your secret weapon. 

You don’t just apply makeup, you intuitively understand that beauty is psychological, even spiritual.

This is why your audience connects. You’re not a technician. You’re an inspirational guide.

Now here's the part that will be the difference maker:

Capricorn rules your Midheaven (career), and Mercury sits there too. This screams: take yourself seriously.

Makeup is not meant to stay a hobby.

Capricorn demands structure:

• Systems
• Tiered offers
•  Revenue tracking
• Long-term positioning

Your Aries Rising reinforces the entrepreneurial path. You are designed to lead your own venture, not work under someone else indefinitely.

Saturn in your 2nd house of money confirms the lesson: serious revenue requires serious operational discipline.

Wealth comes through systems-thinking.

This is not influencer energy. This is legacy energy. 

Your North Node in Gemini house 3 adds even more direction: 

• Communicate consistently.
• Break down your wisdom into digestible pieces.
• Teach step-by-step.
• Expand onto multiple platforms. 

Think educator, author, speaker, not just artist.

Makeup is the lane.
Education is the leverage.
Structure is the accelerator.

This isn’t just about looks. It’s about what's underneath.

If you build a belief system around confidence and identity through beauty, you move from makeup artist to thought leader.

The Bottom Line:

• Keep showing up publicly, stay digital first.
• Teach the psychology behind the look.
• Develop repeatable frameworks (signature looks, methods, email list etc).
• Price intentionally.
• Think in 5–10 year increments, not viral moments.

Your immediate task is to turn enthusiasm into infrastructure.

P.S.

Saturn currently moving through Pisces is explicitly asking you to professionalize your gift and protect your energy. Your creative and emotional expression is evolving and maturing.

Also, Pluto now in Aquarius is activating your community and digital sphere long-term. This is a powerful era for online growth, but only if you build structure behind the momentum.

This isn’t a phase.

It’s the moment you decide whether you'll continue side-hustling or build something that lasts.
