Is Your Career Written in the Stars?

Ever feel like you were meant for something more—but you’re not sure what? Maybe you’ve dabbled in different paths, waiting for something to click, or you’ve always sensed a deeper purpose nudging at you. Astrology isn’t about predestined fate, but it is a powerful tool for self-discovery—especially when it comes to career and calling.

Your birth chart is like a cosmic blueprint, showing your strengths, challenges, and the kind of work that will feel most fulfilling for you. Whether you're wondering if you're on the right path, considering a shift, or just craving clarity, understanding a few key placements in your chart can help you uncover the work you're meant to do.

Let’s look at what astrology can show us... and if this is too overwhelming for you, I offer 1:1 readings and sessions as well as many other soul-aligned offerings that allow you to take this in bite sizes.

1. Your Midheaven (MC): Your Public Role & Career Direction

The Midheaven (MC) represents your highest aspirations, how you're seen in the public eye, and the work that brings long-term success. It’s often considered the career point in astrology because it shows where you're naturally called to lead, contribute, and be recognized.

🔹 How to Find It: Look for the MC (Medium Coeli) in your birth chart—usually at the very top (around the 10th house).

🔹 What It Reveals:
Your MC sign gives major clues about the type of career that aligns with your energy:

• Aries MC → Bold, pioneering careers (entrepreneurship, leadership, sports, activism).
• Taurus MC → Stable, creative fields (finance, art, design, real estate).
• Gemini MC → Communication-based roles (writing, media, marketing, teaching).
• Cancer MC → Nurturing careers (counseling, hospitality, wellness, home-based business).
• Leo MC → High-visibility careers (entertainment, coaching, performing, branding).
• Virgo MC → Precision-based work (healing arts, editing, organization, service-based businesses).
• Libra MC → Relationship-focused roles (law, beauty, diplomacy, creative collaborations).
• Scorpio MC → Transformational work (psychology, mysticism, business strategy, investigative fields).
• Sagittarius MC → Expansive careers (teaching, publishing, travel, philosophy).
• Capricorn MC → Structured leadership (corporate, entrepreneurship, long-term mastery).
• Aquarius MC → Innovation and disruption (tech, activism, astrology, unconventional paths).
• Pisces MC → Creative, spiritual, or healing fields (music, film, intuitive work, non-profits).

🌀 What’s missing? While the MC tells you the style of work you may thrive in, it doesn’t tell you how to get there—or what roadblocks might be standing in your way. That’s where the North Node and other placements come in.

2. Your North Node: The Work That Fulfills Your Soul

The North Node isn’t just about career—it’s about purpose. If your Midheaven is the “job title,” your North Node is the journey—the deeper soul growth that calls you forward. Often, this path feels unfamiliar or even intimidating because it's where you're meant to grow.

🔹 How to Find It: Look for the North Node symbol (☊) and note its sign and house.

🔹 What It Reveals:

• Taurus North Node (Security & Creativity): A path of building stability, self-sufficiency, and creative mastery.
• Gemini North Node (Communication & Teaching): A calling to share ideas, connect people, and embrace curiosity.
• Leo North Node (Visibility & Creativity): A journey toward stepping into leadership and creative expression.
• Scorpio North Node (Transformation & Depth): A path of embracing intensity, healing, and rebirth.

• (And so on—each North Node has its own unique career themes.)

🔹 Why This Matters:
People often chase careers that align with their South Node—what feels comfortable but isn’t necessarily fulfilling. True success comes when you move toward your North Node, even if it feels unfamiliar at first.

💡 Pro Tip: If you feel stuck in your career, check your South Node to see what outdated patterns might be keeping you in a loop.

3. The 2nd & 6th Houses: Money, Work Style & Daily Habits

While the Midheaven speaks to career direction, the 2nd and 6th houses show how you work best and how you bring in money.

🔹 2nd House (Income & Financial Flow) → This reveals how you earn and what kind of financial opportunities align with you.

• Venus in the 2nd → Money through art, relationships, or beauty industries.
• Mars in the 2nd → Driven to earn through action, leadership, or competition.
• Neptune in the 2nd → Money may come through spiritual, creative, or unconventional means.

🔹 6th House (Daily Work & Routine) → This shows your work style and what keeps you productive.

• Jupiter in the 6th → Thrives in expansive, varied work environments.
• Saturn in the 6th → Structured, disciplined approach—excels in mastery over time.
• Uranus in the 6th → Needs freedom—rigid 9-5 structures can feel restrictive.

👀 See a theme? Your 2nd and 6th house placements help you refine the how—the specific ways you work best and earn money that feels right for you.

4. Your Saturn Placement: The Career You Master Over Time

Saturn represents discipline, mastery, and long-term success. Unlike the Midheaven, which shows what you naturally lean toward, Saturn shows what you must work at—but the rewards are huge.

🔹 Saturn in Aries → Learning to take bold risks leads to success.
🔹 Saturn in Libra → Mastering collaboration and balance brings career rewards.
🔹 Saturn in the 10th → A destined leader, but must earn respect through hard work.

Saturn’s lessons aren’t always fun, but when embraced, they lead to some of the most fulfilling career breakthroughs.
