My Experience with Jupiter Moving Through My 10th House
Alright, let’s talk about when Jupiter decided to hang out in my 10th house for a while. I remember looking ahead, seeing it was coming up. At the time, work was… well, it was just work. Same old routine, felt like I was just another cog in the machine, you know? Not bad, but definitely not exciting. I wasn’t really pushing for anything big, just getting the job done.
So, I noticed this transit was on the horizon. Didn’t really expect fireworks or anything, but I thought, okay, maybe this is a time things could look up career-wise. The 10th house is all that public image, career stuff, right? So, I figured I should probably pay attention.
What I actually did:
- Started saying ‘yes’ more: Little opportunities at work I might have normally passed on? Like leading a small team meeting or volunteering for a slightly different task? I just started saying yes. Didn’t think too much, just did it.
- Polished things up: My resume hadn’t been touched in ages. I spent a weekend updating it, not because I was actively looking, but just to have it ready. Did the same with my online professional profiles. Just basic housekeeping, really.
- Talked to people: I made a bit more effort to chat with senior folks at work. Not in a fake, networking kind of way, but just being more visible, asking questions about their projects, sharing a bit about mine.
It wasn’t like a switch flipped overnight. It was gradual. First, my boss mentioned offhand that she appreciated me stepping up in that meeting. Small thing, but nice to hear. Then, a few weeks later, a project came up that was a bit outside my usual scope. Normally, they might have looked elsewhere, but because I’d been a bit more visible and shown willingness, my boss asked if I wanted to take a lead role on a part of it.
Honestly, it felt good. It wasn’t some massive promotion handed on a silver platter. It felt more like doors that were slightly closed just opened a bit wider. I had to walk through them myself, though. Jupiter didn’t do the work for me, but it felt like the timing was right. The effort I put in seemed to get noticed more easily than usual.
There was also a bit of feeling like I should be doing more, almost a pressure to expand. Had to be careful not to overcommit. Said yes to the project lead role, but said no to joining another committee that popped up around the same time. Learned pretty quickly that Jupiter can make you feel like you can do everything, but you still only have 24 hours in a day.
By the time Jupiter moved on, things were definitely different. I was leading a small part of that new project, had built better connections with some higher-ups, and generally felt more recognized for my actual work. It wasn’t a total career revolution, but it was a solid step up. Felt more established, more ‘me’ in my professional role. That feeling of just being a cog? Mostly gone. It was a good period of practical growth, looking back.
