5 Ways Astrology Can Help You Get Unstuck in Business
Have you ever felt like you’re spinning your wheels in business but you’re just not getting anywhere? Like the decisions you're making are leaving you feeling stagnant, and your messaging and marketing just don’t seem to be reaching the right people?
Traditional business advice and coaching can only get you so far. Sometimes, unlocking the secrets to business growth lie in understanding your deeper patterns, cycles, and energy. Astrology isn’t just about horoscopes; it’s a powerful tool for self improvement and alignment. Here’s how tapping into your natal chart* and the energy of the stars can help you break through business blocks and find your flow. (*See below for a guide to calculating your natal chart.)
1. Understand Your Strengths and Challenges Through Your Sun Sign, Rising Sign, and Moon Sign
The “Big Three” in your natal chart can tune you into your core energy, helping you infuse your business and your routines with strategies that leverage your strengths and support you through your challenges.
Your Sun Sign is your core essence, or how you naturally shine in business. Here you can learn about authentic self expression and how to show up as the boldest, most magnetic version of yourself. For example, if you are a Leo Sun, you might find that you really thrive when you step onto center stage, allowing yourself to truly be seen.
Your Moon Sign reflects your inner world and emotional needs. Your moon sign is the key to tuning into your subconscious and all that keeps you motivated and aligned. For example, a Taurus Moon may need stability and routine in order to feel secure in business (and with a stable base, she can grow and thrive).
Your Rising Sign (or ascendant) reveals how you show up in the world. Here you will find the secrets to making a memorable first impression, and how you can structure your brand to make stronger connections with your audience. For example, a Capricorn Rising might naturally show up from a position of strength and authority, but might need to soften her edges in order to make deeper connections.
2. Boost Productivity and Drive Using Your Mars Placement
Your Mars placement helps you understand your natural rhythm - how you find action, drive, and motivation. If you’re feeling stuck, you might be pushing against the natural flow of your energy instead of working with it. For example, if your Mars is in…
Aries - You might thrive on quick action and spontaneity but struggle with follow-through.
Virgo - You likely excel at detailed planning but might have a tendency to overthink before taking action
Pisces - You’re likely most productive and in flow when you feel inspired versus pressuring yourself (or responding to external pressure) to complete certain tasks
3. Look to Your Midheaven For Career Direction
Your Midheaven represents your highest career potential, your public image, and the legacy you’re meant to leave in the world. When you’re feeling stuck or stagnant, or like the work you’re doing isn’t filling a certain void within you, it might be because your career isn’t aligned with your Midheaven. For example, if your Midheaven is in…
Virgo - You may find that the cycle of self doubt paralysis keeps you feeling stuck in business. Try shifting your focus from perfect execution to steady progress instead. Break goals into small, actionable steps, and trust that mastery comes through doing—not waiting for perfection.
Scorpio - If you’re feeling stuck, you might be resisting deep and necessary change in your life somewhere. Stop playing it safe and start embracing the magnetic, transformational energy that you exude through your business.
Leo - You might feel stuck because you’re hiding your true self out of fear of criticism or judgment. Instead of dimming your light, start owning your confidence, embracing visibility, and sharing your unique gifts unapologetically.
4. Unlock the Secrets of Your Business Destiny Through Your North Node
Your North Node is the roadmap to your soul’s purpose, even if the road feels uncomfortable or challenging at times. Your South Node points to the lessons you’ve conquered and your comfort zone. When you’re feeling stuck, you’re skewing too far toward your South Node instead of pushing your edges in the zone of your North Node. Embrace your North Node to step into your purpose.
For example, if your North Node is in:
Gemini: Your growth comes from embracing curiosity, adaptability, and the power of communication—instead of clinging to rigid beliefs or needing to have all the answers. You’re meant to share ideas, ask questions, and engage in meaningful dialogue, rather than solely relying on your own perspective.
Capricorn: Your path is about stepping into responsibility, structure, and long-term success, rather than relying on emotions or external validation. You’re here to build something lasting, develop discipline, and embrace your inner authority, rather than getting lost in fluctuating emotions or short-term comfort.
5. Use Lunar Phases to Plan Business Growth
Each cycle of the Moon - from New Moon through the Full Moon and back again - influences cycles of growth, release, and renewal. Instead of forcing progress at random times, aligning your business activities with the lunar phases can help you move in sync with the universe’s energetic flow.
The New Moon phase is best for setting intentions and new beginnings. This is a great time to set new goals, launch new ideas, or dream up your next product or offer. Try journaling or meditation to get crystal clear on what it is that you actually want in business.
The Waxing Moon phase is a great time to begin building momentum by developing new plans and activating your New Moon goals. This is the time to take aligned action, working toward bringing your intentions to life.
The Full Moon brings with it big energy for clarity and breakthroughs. If you’re feeling stuck, pay close attention to what’s working and what’s not… what’s lighting you up and what’s leaving you feeling stagnant. This phase is best for launches, promotions, big decisions, and visibility.
The Waning Moon brings with it energy that supports reflection and release. The energy of the Waning Moon calls you to step back, rest, quiet your mind, and evaluate what’s draining your energy. This is the time to release what’s no longer serving you in preparation for your next cycle of intention-setting. If you’re feeling stuck, use this time to detox your workspace. Declutter your work environment, clean up your systems, or set firmer boundaries in your business.
When you’re feeling stuck in business, sometimes the answer lies within the stars. When you leverage the placements of your natal chart, or the energy of current planetary transits, you’ll find yourself working with supportive energy instead of pushing against resistance. If you’re new to astrology, start with your Big Three, which can help you find deeper inspiration, direction, and motivation to guide you on your journey.
