Okay, so I’ve been messing around with this idea of using astrology in career counseling, and I wanted to share how it went down. It’s been a bit of a wild ride, but surprisingly insightful.
Getting Started
First, I gathered some basic info from a few friends who were feeling lost career-wise. I got their birth dates, times, and locations – the usual astrology stuff. I’m no professional astrologer, but I’ve dabbled enough to know the basics.
Charting It Out
Next, I plugged all that birth info into one of those free online chart generators. Gotta love the internet, right? This gave me their birth charts, showing where all the planets were when they were born. It’s like a cosmic snapshot.
Digging into the Details
This is where it got interesting. I started looking at a few key things in each chart:
- The Sun Sign: Kind of like their basic personality vibe.
- The Moon Sign: More about their emotional side and what makes them feel secure.
- The Rising Sign (Ascendant): How they come across to others, their outward style.
- The Midheaven (MC): This one’s big for career – it’s about their public image and life path.
- Planets in the 10th House: Any planets hanging out here also give clues about career potential.
- Planets in the 6th House: House of daily work routine, health, and service.
- Planets in the 2nd House: Indicator of financial well-being, values, and resources.
I spent a good chunk of time just reading up on what these different placements might mean. Again, I’m not claiming to be an expert, but there are tons of resources out there.I focused on career-related interpretations.
Putting It Together
Then came the fun part – actually talking to my friends about their charts! I explained what I’d found, emphasizing that this was just another perspective, not some definitive answer.
We talked through the chart, and the key points and aspects career related.
I did a lot more listening than talking.
The “Aha!” Moments
What surprised me most was how often something in the chart would totally resonate with my friends. One person had a ton of planets in a sign associated with communication, and they suddenly realized why they’d always been drawn to writing and teaching. Another had their Midheaven in a sign known for creativity, and it sparked a whole conversation about getting back into art, which they’d abandoned years ago.
We brainstormed potential career paths or side hustles that seemed to align with their astrological profile.
Keeping It Real
I made sure to emphasize that astrology is just one tool. It’s not about predicting the future or telling someone exactly what they should do. It’s more about understanding yourself better, recognizing your strengths and weaknesses, and exploring possibilities you might not have considered.
My Takeaway
Honestly, this whole experiment was way more rewarding than I expected. It felt like I was helping my friends connect with themselves on a deeper level, and it gave them some fresh ideas to chew on. I’m definitely going to keep exploring this – it’s like having a secret decoder ring for understanding people, including myself!
