Intro to Career Astrology I Oprah Winfrey Career Analysis

The three vocational houses are the second, the sixth and the tenth. By analysing the planets, signs on the cusps, and aspects, we can better understand what we will do for a living. 

The 10th house, also called the MC/Midheaven, is the highest point in a natal chart, located in a specific sign at the very top of the chart. It is ruled by Capricorn, Saturn and is an angular house. This is where we learn more about our career aims, the challenges we may have to face along the way, and our professional strengths and weaknesses. Learning how to master these can bring us enormous achievements.

The planets in the 10th house can also tell us more about our professional life, as well as our public image, our relationship with authority figures, and our reputation. For instance: with the Sun in this house one is an ambitious person with big goals, with the Moon one is emotionally involved in their career, and any career-related failures could result in distress and insecurity, with Mercury you need variety and change in your career, Venus, on the other hand, can make one fall in love with their job and as a result, this person can become a workaholic, Mars in the 10th house suggests that you are self-motivated and ambitious when it comes to your career. A person with Uranus in their career can change careers very often or unexpectedly throughout their life.

The 6th house in career astrology ruled by Virgo, Mercury, is cadent, and it rules our daily routine, our work environment, and the relationship we have with our co-workers. The 6th house reveals the sort of work environment we are most comfortable in, giving a hint as to what career you’ll enjoy. The 6th house is a house of service, in this case, work. To provide you with some examples: with Venus here one needs a work environment that’s peaceful and balanced to do their best work, Saturn here one can work to work and provide for themself or others, but not out of any joy, Pluto, on the other hand, makes one excellent at problem-solving, and often people with this placement prefer to work on their own

The 2nd house is ruled by Taurus, Venus, and is a succedent house. It is the house that rules our income, values system, self-esteem, and self-worth. It is all about our talents possessions, money, and our attitudes towards wealth and our ability to obtain it. It can show our abilities to make money and be successful. The sign on the cusp and planets in this house reveal what profession could be most financially beneficial for us. This house also shows our overall relationship with money and how we feel about it. With the Moon here, how much money/possessions one has, has an impact on their emotional well-being, and it influences our feelings of security. Jupiter makes one lucky when it comes to accumulating wealth. In contrast, with Neptune here, money doesn’t mean as much to them as it does to everyone else.
