Changing your path can be really frightening, especially when it comes to your career. Over the years, I’ve taken less-traveled and often outside-the-box routes, even certifying in astrology! This journey has required a lot of mindset work, which is ongoing. I value understanding what excites me and what’s not in my zone of genius.
I’ve been coaching women for years who feel depleted and unfulfilled because they’re working long hours at jobs they don’t love. This drains their energy and soul, leaving them stuck in routines dictated by others’ expectations rather than their true desires. Many struggle to recognize or accept the unique ways they can shine in the world.
Here’s a reminder: reconnecting with ourselves by becoming conscious of our sense of purpose and what drives us can make a big difference in gaining clarity about our career and personal life. In my business mindset coaching sessions, I turn to astrology to help my clients look at their strengths in a different, more soulful way. The Sun sign, familiar to many from horoscopes, helps us understand where we best express ourselves and our core essence. It governs how we radiate our inner selves to the outer world and how we shine uniquely.
Even if your Sun sign feels foreign or totally on brand, I encourage you to look at these descriptions to see yourself more clearly or in a whole new way. The Sun is tied to personal fulfillment and the journey towards self-actualization. These descriptions can get our creative juices flowing and help us see where we might be getting in our own way. For instance, if you’re a Virgo Sun, do you emphasize your analytical mind and organizational talent? As a Scorpio, are you using your intuitive ability to read others in your work, or do you dismiss it? As a Gemini, I shine when I bring to my ability to connect and communicate with others into my work.
How can you shine?
Here’s a breakdown of how each of the 12 zodiac signs shines:

– Shines when they help liberate people from unjust situations, use their strength and tenacity to achieve goals, rescue others from difficult situations, and take action on their convictions and values.

– Shines when they advocate for others, provide grounded service, build connections, and show others how to build a solid foundation.
