The Great Conjunction + You
Issue 154 — December 21, 2020
Today on the winter solstice, the stars align. For the first time since 1226, the planets Jupiter and Saturn will be so close in the night sky that they might look like one large star.
Astronomers call it the Great Conjunction. Some people call it the Christmas star.
We humans like to imbue these celestial moments with supernatural meaning. For me personally, it’s extra special because today happens to be Alex and my 40th wedding anniversary!
I wish you and your loved ones health and joy during this unusual holiday season when most of us will celebrate virtually.

You’ll be helping to make sure that even in these troubled times, we can continue to provide the training, coaching, role models, and thought leadership so all women of all diversities and intersectionalities will reach parity in leadership by 2025.
We won’t let a pandemic deter us from our mission. But your support is essential. The challenge is immense.
Four times as many women as men have lost jobs or been forced by caregiving responsibilities to leave the workforce.
Together we can put women at the center of the recovery so they can recover their lives and livelihoods.
Your gift today — any size — will create a great conjunction of good in the world, for you will be helping women and their families get back on track and prosper in the New Year.
With great appreciation and very best wishes for the holidays and New Year,
Gloria Feldt
Co-Founder & President, Take The Lead
