how to find career in an astrology chart

Many people use astrology to figure out how to find career in an astrology chart.  It is a great tool to use to find insight on a career path that aligns with your cosmic DNA.  

We want to be in alignment with the Universe and work with the energies.  By understanding our strengths, gifts and challenges we get a clearer picture about our potential career options.  

We don’t want to work for something that sucks our soul and life force from us.  Instead, we want to put our energy into something that brings us fulfillment.  When our career is aligned with our cosmic DNA our career actually gives us life, passion and purpose.  

It is important to set a clear expectation for anyone that is doing their first initial research.  Astrology isn’t just going to spit out a definitive answer like some sort of career assessment tool.  Instead, it gives you little puzzle pieces that you can put together until a clearer picture can be seen.

Typically, novice astrologers know that 10th house is that of the career.  However, not many know of other planets and houses that can give you more insight on your potential.  In this post, I will be giving you extra tips on how to find career in an astrology chart.

How to Find Career In An Astrology Chart

10th House Placement

The 10th house is the house of career, vocation and higher calling.  It is the house that shows how we present ourselves to the public and what we value.  This house is where we put forth the courage to go after what we value.

So when considering how to find career in an astrology chart, start there.  However, it is more than just the sign that is in that house.  It is important to consider the planets within that house as well.  The sign of the house will shade the energy of the planets within.  

For example, if Jupiter is within that house then it is typically a beneficent energy of expansion, luck, higher thinking.  If Venus is within that house then what we love and value will be shaded by that house.  I’m not going to get into a full breakdown of each planet.  I highly recommend that you download my free Cosmic Alignment Toolkit to get more in depth about how each planet is shaded by the house’s energy.  

Feeling called to deepen your spiritual practice but not sure where to start?
This free checklist walks you through the nine essential steps every initiate must take — from journaling and meditation to energy work and astrology — to align your soul and begin your Great Work.

Consider if the planets within the 10th house are exalted, domicile or detriment.  Looking at the aspects are also important to give you more insight about your strengths, challenges and even lessons.

The Ruler of the 10th House

The Ruler of the 10th house is also important to consider when asking how to find career in an astrology chart.  Where the ruler of the 10th house is located in your birth chart will give you a better idea of how the energy of the house is activated.  

For example, Sagittarius is my 10th house and Jupiter, the ruler of that sign, is in Scorpio 9th house.  This shows the relation of not only the focus of my career but how it is played out with my desire for occult or secret knowledge.  I love to learn and share this information to help other souls along their journey embrace their cosmic DNA and embody their spiritual path.

Mid-heaven If Not in 10th House

Oftentimes Mid-heaven or MC is typically located within the 10th house but not always.  It is something to consider if it isn’t in the 10th house.  Sometimes it can be in other houses like the 9th or 11th.  This gives you even more insight about potential career paths.

Part of Fortune

The Part of Fortune is really just like it sounds, it is where you find your good luck.  Not only that, Part of Fortune also symbolizes where you find fulfillment.  This is important to consider because to really embody our higher self, we not only want to make a living, we want to make a living doing something that is fulfilling and brings us satisfaction.

The placement of the Part of Fortune will give you that additional insight.  Not all astrology apps or programs will automatically show the Part of Fortune on the birth chart.  But with free programs like Astro.com and Astro-seeker.com you can enable the option for it to be displayed.

If the Part of Fortune is conjunct with another planet then the archetypal energy of the planet will combine with the Part of Fortune shading it even more. Conjunctions combine the archetypal energies.

6th House of Work & Service

Another important house to consider when asking how to find career in an astrology chart is the 6th house of Work & Service.  This is also the house of daily routines and health.  Being that for most of us, work is a majority of our day spent, we can consider our career to be a part of our daily routine.

Through our career we provide a service.  We provide our knowledge, skills and talents as a service either to an employer and/or directly to clients that need that service.  We don’t want just any career, we want a career where we can utilize these strengths that are innate within us symbolized by our birth chart.  When our strengths align with our career, we can find fulfillment.  

As I mentioned regarding the 10th house, you will also want to consider the planets within that house.  It is also important to consider the ruler of that house as well.  All of this will give you more insight into finding career options that align with these strengths. 

Mars Placement

Where Mars is placed can give you more insight when trying to figure out how to find career in an astrology chart.  Mars represents our courage and how we go after what we value and what really brings meaning in our life.  This can show you what you are really passionate about.  Many times this passionate energy can be channeled into a career.  When we do something that we are passionate about, it makes the job much more worth the energy that we put into it.

Venus Placement

Venus represents what we love and value.  When we align what we love and value with our career, it becomes much more fulfilling.  Many of us get stuck in dead end careers that drain our souls and it is because that work isn’t what we love to do or value.  

When you really love doing something, you eventually practice it so much that you naturally become an expert or master at it.

Jupiter Placement

Jupiter is the great beneficent.  So wherever Jupiter is placed in your chart symbolizes good luck.  Luck is where opportunity meets preparation.  Jupiter’s lessons bring expansion to certain areas of your life.  

If Jupiter is placed in your second, fifth, sixth, eighth or tenth it could be a clue to how it relates to your career.  Jupiter’s energy will bring expansion in those areas.  The placement represents where you are meant to grow especially in your mindset.

Jupiter’s placement can also represent an area that you are gifted and talented at.  By understanding your gifts and talents you are better able to identify a career that you are aligned with.   

Saturn, Planet of Responsibility

Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn, the 10th house.  Saturn represents where you learn to operate within the limitations of society.  It represents responsibilities and our responsibility is to contribute to society.

Saturn’s archetypal image is that of a stern father and teacher.  This reminds me of an image of a father teaching a young pre-teen how to do chores around the house.  As the child continues to follow these lessons throughout life the child becomes so good at it then becomes the owner of the father’s business.

Capricorn House

Capricorn brings the archetypal energy of Saturn with the house that is placed.  This house placement could indicate how it relates to your career opportunities.  If Capricorn is in your 2nd, 5th, 6th or 10th then this energy can shed light on the strengths, gifts and talents that you have and how you can apply it to an aligned career. 

5th House & It’s Ruler

The 5th house of love, creativity and children.  This house can also give us clues when we are trying to figure out how to find career in an astrology chart.  As I mentioned with Venus, when you do what you love you eventually become a master at it.  The 5th house shows where we are creative.  Creativity comes from love.  When you do what you love, creativity comes naturally.  You begin to naturally download creative insights.  It is like being in a flow state.  

This is all represented by the 5th house.  Where the ruler of the 5th house is located shows you where this creative energy plays out.

Vesta the Asteroid

Vesta is an asteroid that represents the eternal flame of dedication and devotion.  A lot of astrology apps don’t automatically include this placement on the birth chart.  However, with tools like Astro.com and Astro-seeker.com you do have the option to enable it.

The placement of this asteroid shows you what you are truly dedicated and devoted to.  When you are devoted to something, you can’t stop thinking about it.  Our ultimate desire is to have a  career in something that we are truly dedicated to. This placement can give you clues about what you are devoted to.
