Your Cosmic Career Coach

Ever feel as though your career has hit a dead end with nowhere to go? That feeling of being stuck leaves us confused and unsure about how to make positive changes. Many people will stay in a job they don't like because they don't know what else to do. In this podcast, Tom and Aubrie revisit the lunar nodes and the role they play when we get stuck in our work lives. Exploring the lunar nodes in your natal chart can help you understand why you get stuck and actions you can take that trigger change and inner growth. The nodes tell us about our natural gifts and talents but they also show the risks we need to take. Having a conscious awareness of the lunar nodes is helpful to anyone struggling to get back onto their path. www.careerastrologers.com www.facebook.com/careerastrology

We get all kinds of mixed messages about career planning and how to approach your job search at the end of the year. Some people say no one is hiring in December, everyone is on vacation, so why even bother? Others say it’s a perfect time for a job search since people are feeling more relaxed and sociable and are therefore more willing to network. Plus, hiring managers are gearing up for adding to their payroll in 2018. But what about when the holiday period overlaps with Mercury retrograde? Should you take a break from a job search or keep going? Astrologically, this is a fantastic time to get busy with certain aspects of your job search.

Do you sometimes feel as though you don’t fit in in the workplace? Or maybe you look around at all the possibilities and feel as though no career or job is right for you? If this sounds familiar, you may very well have outer planets impacting your Midheaven, the most elevated point in your chart and a key indicator of career information. The outer planets, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto, change the story and send a strong message. When you try to adapt to a conventional career, it may feel uncomfortable and lack meaning. It’s highly important for outer planet people to define their purpose in life and find their own means of expression. In this podcast, Tom and Aubrie share their outer planet stories as they were both called to find a more meaningful expression through their careers. If you’re looking for more excitement, depth or connection, exploring the relationship of the outer planets to the MC can be enlightening and empowering in regards to understanding what fulfilling work looks like for you. www.careerastrologers.com www.facebook.com/careerastrology

Many people experience a great deal of fear and apprehension about an astrology reading. That fear so often stems from a sense that the astrologer knows more abut your life than you do. As Coaches, we take the opposite approach. We believe clients have the answers inside them and we use astrology to help people get in touch with their own inner knowing. We won’t predict your future. We do, however, recognize that the ongoing motion of the planets impacts your work life, and a given point in time can be vitally important. Join us as we discuss the value of looking at the energies in the sky and the months ahead, in a way that brings comfort and clarity.
