This year got me thinking about my job situation after a rough patch – felt stuck, no raises, same old routines. So I dug into that whole Jupiter in Virgo thing everyone’s buzzing about.
First Moves
Started simple – pulled up free astrology apps during lunch break. Typed “Jupiter Virgo career” and got tons of vague stuff about “meticulous energy” and “practical growth.” Made zero sense until I checked my birth chart placements. My Jupiter’s in freakin’ Taurus! Totally different ballgame.
Panicked for a sec then called Susan – this astro nerd from my book club. She yelled: “Are you nuts? Check your Virgo house placement!” Realized I needed my ascendant sign. Scrambled to find old emails with my birth time.
The Deep Dive
Dusty folder from my mom’s attic saved me – hospital birth certificate! Rushed home, plugged details into four different chart generators. All agreed: Jupiter’s transiting my freakin’ 10th house this year. Susan screamed “CAREER HOUSE!” through the phone loud enough to crack my screen.
Researched 10th house Jupiter in Virgo for hours:
- Opportunities come through detail work – not big dramatic moves
- System improvements beat job hopping
- Mentors matter more than usual
Execution Mode
Took three sick days pretending I had food poisoning. Made spreadsheet tracking all my repetitive tasks – surprised how much time got wasted fixing report errors. Created templates reducing screw-ups by 70%.
Then the scary part: Asked my grumpy manager Wendy for feedback. She blinked like I’d sprouted horns! Next week scheduled coffee with Brenda from accounting – she’s been here 20 years. Turns out she knew about job openings coming in Q4.
The Surprise Twist
Two months in, Wendy suddenly retired. New boss arrives – Dave who loves my damn templates! Weirdly, he’s reorganizing teams exactly when Jupiter enters Libra. Now I’m training others on my systems with “detail-oriented” in my new job title.
Did the stars magically fix everything? Hell no. That spreadsheet took 11 hours to build. Dave still forgot my promotion paperwork twice. But noticing little cracks in my routine? That’s what cracked my career open.
