Can Astrology Help With a Career Path?

Dear Ann,

Does the birth chart help with deciding a career path and type? I have been struggling the last few years with starting a sustainable career.

Dear Regamus,

In a way, yes. Astrology is very useful as a tool for self discovery. For some, choosing a career can be a very perplexing process and the birth chart can offer some insight. I see that you have several planets in Sagittarius. Sags have a natural curiosity about everything. So, making a decision about which "thing" to fully pursue can be very challenging. Perhaps this is why so many Sags become writers in some form or another—because they have so much on their minds! I also see that Saturn is directly opposing your sun. This tells me that your ability to honestly express yourself is often blocked. Perhaps by some sense of responsibility? Or internal questioning of the self that can be counter-productive? Career ideas can maybe start and then get stuck somewhere in this muck. I think this placement is perhaps challenging you to get out of your head more and to find a way to trust your heart - your gut instinct - no matter how unusual the path then becomes.
