Professional Guidance, Career Counseling, Choosing the Right Career
Work is a highly significant aspect of our lives, we spend more time at work than anywhere else.
What career suits me best? Should I change positions? Leave my job? Apply for a higher position? Am I even on the right path?
The importance of work extends beyond financial stability; it influences our sense of self-fulfillment and connects us to our life purpose.
In astrology, the Sun determines our zodiac sign based on its position in the sky, symbolizing our purpose in this world.
To determine a suitable profession, other factors in the chart are also considered, such as the placement of other planets and their aspects.
If you find yourself at a crossroads regarding your career, an analysis of your personal birth chart can help you understand your natural tendencies, talents, and life purpose, enabling you to make informed decisions about your career path.
Below is a list of the most typical professions for each Sun sign:
Fire Signs
Aries (March 20–April 19):
The Sun’s energetic position in Aries calls for dynamic, energetic, and competitive professions with plenty of action. Combined with Mars, the ruler of Aries, you’ll thrive in roles such as politicians, military personnel, surgeons, engineers, mechanics, metalworkers, firefighters, athletes, physiotherapists, coaches, hairdressers, and any job involving children.
Leo (July 22–August 23):
The Sun feels at home and powerful in Leo. Individuals born under this sign excel in professions that emphasize self-expression and prestige. Suitable careers include managers, impresarios, directors, playwrights, actors, jewelry makers (especially gold and diamonds), designers, artists, stockbrokers, politicians, or any profession requiring representation, status, publicity, organizational, or leadership skills.
Sagittarius (November 22–December 22):
Sagittarians crave freedom and movement, both physically and mentally, and dislike confined spaces.

Career Alignment
If your profession aligns with your Sun sign, it’s a sign you’re in sync with your zodiac and the universe. However, if you’re in a different field and feel unfulfilled, it’s worth analyzing your chart to determine your ideal career. Factors like your Moon sign, rising sign, the sign ruling your career house, and planetary placements and aspects are all crucial.

A Gemini with a Moon in a Water sign might combine communication and caregiving in a field like psychology.
-
A Pisces with a Moon in Leo might thrive in a creative role like acting.
-
A blend of Aquarius and Scorpio in a chart suggests success as an engineer.
