You've made a decision in your business. You've thought it through, looked at the numbers and decided what needs to change.

Then somebody questions it.

And suddenly you're wondering whether you've got the whole thing wrong 👀

But does the decision actually need changing, or are you finding it uncomfortable to follow through?

In this week's CEO Brief for 19-25 October 2026, we're exploring business decision-making, boundaries, leadership and the expectations that can keep you running a business you've already decided to change.

With Venus retrograde squaring Pluto, the Sun opposing Chiron and Mercury stationing retrograde in Scorpio, there's plenty to investigate around power, responsibility, communication and existing agreements.

Inside this week's CEO Brief:

  • Monday: Revisit the original decision and why you made it.

  • Tuesday: Examine other people's expectations and what you've actually promised.

  • Wednesday: Separate genuine feedback from what you've made it mean about you.

  • Thursday: Identify the one piece of information that could change the picture.

  • Friday: Decide whether to CARRY THROUGH, CLARIFY or REOPEN FOR REVIEW.

We'll also explore what Mercury retrograde means for business communication, the Sun-Venus conjunction, Venus returning to Libra, and why your business needs the capacity and systems to support the decisions you're making.

Plus, our weekly tarot card is The Hermit, bringing us back to trusting our judgement while remaining open to evidence.

This is business astrology with a practical assignment you can actually use.
