Your career path, according to astrology

Your zodiac chart sheds light on your career path and ways of earning money. If you’re still in school, it can help you figure out which type of career may be better to lean towards. If you’re currently working, it can help you figure out if you are on the right path. And if you’re retired, it can give insight into your past, as well as tell you about possible future volunteer plans or ways of earning cash.

For this, you will need to look at your full zodiac chart. It requires your time, place, and date of birth. In order to find this, you can simply google “free birth chart” and fill in your birth information — or CLICK HERE!

For career, the tenth and second houses play key roles. The tenth house refers to work, most especially in context of your role in society — so this can also apply to volunteering. Your second house can show how you make money — which typically applies to work, but not always (ex: passive income.) In these houses, you want to pay attention to the zodiac signs and planets.

No planets in 2nd or 10th house does NOT mean jobless or unsuccessful. Actually, it can be a great thing. It means that your job and career path is not a main priority in your life.

Example

My 10th house is in Libra. I currently am employed full time as an animal caretaker at a research lab. This relates to a sense of justice, because I am assuring the animals are being treated kindly and properly in an unfortunate circumstance. I have zero planets in my tenth house, which shows that my full-time job is not a huge priority in my life.

My 2nd house is in Capricorn, which shows the rigorous rules and structure I am required to follow from working in a lab. Alongside, this is a very secure and reliable position that brings a steady paycheck and benefits.

Uranus is in my 2nd house, which shows that my career is unconventional — it’s definitely a bit of a strange job, I have to say, and it does challenge my beliefs against animal rights. Along with that, I run my own business on the side, which relates to the self-employed aspect of this planet. I also have Neptune in my 2nd house, which also relates to my current side jobs — doing writing, tarot, astrology, and selling witchy products.
