With nearly four decades of experience, she has helped thousands of clients discover the deeper meaning of their lives through what she calls “astrological imprinting”—a system that reveals the energetic pattern each person is born with, like a personal owner’s manual.

Leslie’s work bridges ancient wisdom with modern science, and she is at the forefront of a movement to restore astrology’s original purpose—not as fortune-telling, but as a powerful diagnostic and healing tool.
In her book The Power of Mercury (HarperCollins), Leslie explores how our communication style and mental wiring are shaped by Mercury’s placement at birth. Her unique gift for identifying patterns—both emotional and physical—has made her especially valued in medical and psychological circles, where she collaborates with doctors and therapists to support deeper healing.
Leslie teaches through her online platform, the Astrology Wisdom Academy, where she offers a creative, user-friendly approach to learning astrology—free from jargon and rooted in visual storytelling. Her background as the creator of The Quest for Inspiration, a corporate creativity workshop taught at five-star spas and global companies, gives her a distinctive edge in helping people think differently about themselves and their potential.
She has been invited to speak at renowned institutions and events, including TEDx Hollywood, where her talk The Importance of Being Wrong received a standing ovation. She is also a frequent guest on Coast to Coast AM with George Noory, where she discusses astrology’s deeper purpose in our rapidly evolving world.
Whether she’s working one-on-one or teaching to a full auditorium, Leslie McGuirk’s mission is clear: to awaken the intelligence of the heart through the language of astrology—and to remind each person of the brilliance they were born with.
No One Could Make This Up
LESLIE MCGUIRK
There was a time when I had completely lost faith. Life felt random, disconnected, and I began to doubt that anything larger was guiding it. A spiritually attuned friend noticed this change in me and said, “You have very strong angelic protectors. Why don’t you meditate and ask to meet them.”
Skeptical but willing, I gave it a try. During the meditation, an image appeared clearly in my mind of a massive angel with red hair flying over the hills of Ireland. She said her name was “Seraphim.” I later looked it up. Seraphim are angelic beings, regarded in traditional angelology as belonging to the highest order of the ninefold celestial hierarchy, associated with light, ardor, and purity. I still wasn’t totally convinced. Maybe it was just my imagination.
But then things started happening.
I called someone who I often jokingly refer to as my “angel friend” and asked her to walk with me on the beach. I told her about the meditation. She paused, then said, “That’s strange. You call me your angel friend, and my middle name is Seraphina.” We both laughed at the coincidence. I told her I would change my angel's name to Seraphina.
Then I immediately reached down to pick up what looked to me like a gray rock in the sand—but it wasn’t a rock. It was a plastic, dark gray medieval looking angel figurine, worn by the sea. The wings were gone, replaced by two barnacle shells sticking out like wings. (1)
Something shifted. My doubt cracked open.
That very same day, my publisher called and asked me to come to New York for a meeting. An online advertisement caught my eye with an amazing deal at the “Dream Hotel” (2) that was only $39 a night. I called, thinking it was an error. It was a mistake, but they were nice enough to honor it.
When I landed in New York, I jumped in a taxi, and instantly noticed an angel with green wings hanging from the rearview mirror. When I arrived at the Dream Hotel, the name of the hotel’s restaurant stopped me cold: “Serafina.” (3)
Too many “coincidences.” Too specific. Too timely.
I don’t believe in God because someone told me to. I believe because of direct experience. What happened wasn’t vague or symbolic—it was precise. It came in images, names, objects, and timing that I could not have arranged.
My faith returned not through blind belief, but through evidence I could not ignore. No one could make this up. (4)
