New Career for a Capricorn

Dear Yael,

I was born in Baku, Azerbaijan on Jan 17, 1978 (around 2pm). I love my work. I’m a massage therapist, but I feel I should be moving on to something else. Every couple of years, I change fields, and it’s been too long since I switched jobs. Plus, my hands could use a break and I don’t want to start hating my work. So, now I am currently thinking of opening my own nail salon in the not so distant future, but I don't know where to start.  

I have some anxieties about that. It looks amazing in my head, and I have been dwelling on it since Christmas. I have never pictured anything so clearly, but that means total dedication, and that is the scary part. What does my astrology chart indicate about this?

 Dear Ms. Capricorn,

After carefully looking at your chart, I have some wonderful news.  Firstly, you have an excellent astrological chart in terms of running your own business.  

A Sun in Capricorn and Moon in Taurus combination is the most practical of all Sun-Moon combinations.  You are sensible, loyal, patient, cautious, harmonious, and possess a high degree of self-control.  This combination indicates that you are also motivated by altruistic ideals; you have a great desire to elevate and improve others’ wellbeing.  

This has proven to be the case in your work.  You are also such a persistent individual, that when you set your mind on the task at hand, you always achieve.  One caution with this specific combination, sometimes you are too rigid and inflexible.  You need to learn to trust your intuition more and go with the flow.    

Your Venus was found in the ninth house at the time of your birth.  Your mind is inquisitive, intellectual, adaptable, gentle, and peace loving.  You are kind, sympathetic, and gently and thus you are naturally inclined to helping others in need.  You are mentally restless and crave continuous stimulation and pursuits. 

You have a great amount of Earth in your chart, which lends itself to persistent determination.  Anything you set your mind on, you will get.  

The one primary “holdup” that you struggle with is that you are so multifaceted and truly curious about everything creative, intellectual, and spiritual that you have a hard time bridging your imagination with reality. 

 I don’t think this is an issue, since these dreams of yours are what make you such an active go-getter in life.  

Ms. Capricorn, I encourage you to outline your business plan, shoot for the stars, and make this dream of yours a reality.  You have the perfect astrological makeup to make this company a real success.  

Also, since you indicated that you change careers every few years, because you get bored I imagine, I don’t feel this will be an issue once you devote yourself to your own project.  You have probably been coasting these past few years, trying to gather up enough confidence and mental clarity to go after your own dream.  Make it a reality.  This is your year!
