Astrology, Alchemy & the Art of Co-Leadership
When Two Leaders Align, the Universe Pays Attention
The dual-CEO setup isn’t new, but it’s having a renaissance. Today’s business landscape moves at light speed. One person can’t be the visionary, the operator, the strategist and the empath all at once. According to Harvard Business Review’s recent article, When Two Leaders Are Better Than One, the CEO job has outgrown the solo act.
Like the perfect bridge in a Taylor Swift song, co-leadership only works when two distinct forces — sometimes clashing, sometimes harmonizing — come together to form something transcendent. It’s the friction that creates the fire. The contrast that makes the crescendo. That’s what great partnerships do: they push each other from “what if” to “watch this.”
In the spirit of spooky season — and because we love the cosmos— we decided to look deeper into why this partnership works the way it does. Why the decisions flow, the creative sparks fly, and the chaos somehow always syncs into harmony.
What we found wasn’t just synergy. It was cosmic choreography. Before we ever shared a client call or a Google Drive, the universe was already sketching the blueprint for what would become Vigilante PR. And when you look at our charts side by side, the story makes perfect sense.
Melissa Christensen: Taurus Sun, Leo Moon, Gemini Rising
Andrea Holt: Double Aquarius (Sun + Rising), Libra Moon
Earth Meets Air: Partnerships, the New Power Move
Andrea’s Mars on her Sagittarius Midheaven and Melissa’s Midheaven in Aquarius both scream founder energy. Neither of us was meant to take orders; we are wired to create new systems entirely. And that’s exactly why Vigilante PR doesn’t feel like just another agency. If you’ve ever wondered how Vigilante manages to be both fearless and grounded, this is why.
The partnership works because it’s astrologically symmetrical. The things that drive one of us are the exact things that steady the other.
Melissa’s Taurus Sun is the anchor. She builds empires brick by brick, fueled by loyalty, ethics and longevity. When she says she’s going to do something, it’s already half done. Her Gemini Rising brings that quicksilver adaptability. Melisaa is The Translator of Truth — the storyteller who bridges chaos and clarity, systems and soul. She’s the strategist who can see every narrative angle before a story breaks.
Andrea’s Aquarius double signature is the wind tunnel that keeps the whole operation in motion with optimism. She’s the visionary, the trend forecaster, the “what if we flipped the script?” energy that keeps Vigilante evolving before the industry even catches on. Andrea is the Visionary Communicator here to teach, inspire and innovate.
One builds structure; the other redesigns it. One speaks truth; the other amplifies it. Together, we make chaos look like choreography.
The Cosmic Division of Labor
In meetings, it’s almost telepathic: Andrea senses the story, Melissa sharpens it. Andrea throws out bold statements, Melissa turns them into a headline. It’s not just professional chemistry, it’s cosmic choreography. We’re proof that intuition and intellect aren’t opposites; they’re partners.
Andrea’s Libra Moon brings balance and beauty. She makes sure every move we make is rooted in fairness, harmony and intention. Melissa’s Leo Moon gives her the creative leadership spark, the fire that keeps the agency’s storytelling bold and emotionally intelligent.
Melissa leads through proof: data, discipline and delivery. She’s the steady hand that turns chaos into clarity. Andrea leads through vision: creativity, connection and curiosity. She’s the spark that turns clarity back into momentum.
When Melissa’s fire starts a blaze, Andrea knows when to add air (and when to keep it from burning too hot). When Andrea dreams in 30-year timelines, Melissa grounds it into a 3-month plan (with media metrics attached).
We don’t compete for control; we complete the circuit.
Two Forces, One Frequency, All Fire
Both of us have Mars in Fire signs — Andrea in Sagittarius, Melissa in Aries. That’s the celestial equivalent of two women with rocket fuel for blood.
It’s why we don’t wait for permission. It’s why we’ll rewrite a playbook mid-meeting if it’s not working. And it’s why Vigilante PR grew faster in its first year than most agencies do in five.
We don’t move for movement’s sake. We move with purpose. Fire energy teaches momentum through intuition: trusting the moment, reading the field and striking while the energy’s hot.
All Too Well
When people ask why our partnership works so well, we could talk about experience or leadership style or trust. But the truth? The cosmos had a plan.
Our charts are the blueprint of what Vigilante stands for. Traditional agencies run on hierarchy. Ours runs on harmony. Where most chase clients, we choose causes. Where others polish, we provoke. Where some play it safe, we play for impact. That’s not luck. That’s alignment.
Welcome to the Vigilante Era, where even the stars work overtime.
