How electional astrology jump-started my career and landed my first client
It may come as a surprise to many of you, but I actually got my career start in astrology specializing in business and commerce.
Before I was a professional astrologer, I worked 40 hours per week as a peer-to-peer counselor making about 10 dollars an hour after taxes. I was a bottom-tier cog in the machine of corporate healthcare, desperately trying to make money while doing something ethical for work while I applied to graduate school.
I had no way of making a difference at my place of work - it was a toxic environment where no real change or healing happened. I could barely afford to live and pay rent for the one room I rented in a gross house full of hippies who wouldn’t clean up after themselves. When I wasn’t working, I had little to no energy for my spiritual practices or esoteric studies. Saturn was going directly over my Capricorn Stellium and opposing my Cancer Moon, making me miserable, depressed, and unable to find a way out.
I truly hated my life.
In this pitiable state, I started doing regular Jupiter magic. At first, just to help me get into grad school, but it started opening up doorways to practice astrology - more and more people in my community started reaching out about having me read their chart, and I started doing more readings in my off-hours to make some extra money on the side.
I didn’t go to grad school, but I kept up the Jupiter magic to assist me with reading charts. I asked for explicit help from Jupiter to strengthen my craft as an astrologer and overcome my natural shyness so that I could take up more space and offer more when doing astrology readings.
While I was working this magic, I suddenly found myself sitting at a dinner table with several enthusiasts of astrology and magic - one of whom was a wealthy owner of an investment company.
He and I really hit it off - we both studied classics in school and brought our love of ancient history to our love of spirituality. Eventually, he started asking me about the practical, financial applications of classical astrology as I studied and practiced it.
I told him that astrologers had compiled a huge body of knowledge of financial astrology by applying the techniques of astrology to business over thousands of years. Being the proud owner of a Capricorn stellium, I had naturally spent a long time studying the dollars-and-cents aspects of ancient astrological discourse and was well-versed in the techniques of using celestial transits and techniques to generate wealth and guide the growth of business, even if I didn’t have my own business to apply them to.
After we initially met, he reached out about meeting to discuss bringing me on as a consultant to do elections for major product launches, meetings, etc., and give predictions and magical remedies based on the natal charts of the management.
He let me pick the time for the meeting. I made the best astrological election that I could - finding the most astrological auspicious moment possible.
And it worked. Within 10 minutes, we came to an agreement where he would give me a retainer of 1500 for 20 hours of work each month – essentially paying me 75 an hour, and give me commissions for elections I did – calculated from profits and upsells. This at a time when I had been working for 10 bucks an hour as a peer-to-peer counselor 40 hours a week.
I left that low-paying job, and suddenly found myself with another 35 hours per week to study astrology, engage in spiritual practices, and build my business and client base.
Don’t get me wrong: building my business since then has not always been as easy. There have been lots of ups and downs, twists and turns, and some serious rough patches – an inevitable part of the journey for any entrepreneur.
But throughout all of it, the mechanics and know-how of financial astrology have served as a reliable touchstone, a source of grace, and a maximizer of success. I wouldn’t be here today without it.
As the economic climate around us has made self-employment and entrepreneurship much harder, I have felt a greater pull to share the skills and knowledge that I have which contributed to my own success and – even more importantly – my financial stability despite the goings-on around me.
I believe we can ultimately reconnect with our magic and restore heaven on earth for everyone through mindful, ethical, magical business. I’ve aimed all my teachings, classes, live sessions, etc. at cultivating a life where all one’s needs are met without giving away your power to someone else’s greed or draining yourself at a toxic, laborious, soulless grind like I had to.
For this reason, I am offering a 25% discount for anyone who wants to meet with me to discuss their own business. In this session, I will analyze your natal chart for strengths and talents I see for making money and manifesting abundance. I will also give predictions for the financial circumstances and events that will arise during the next few months - I will show you the upcoming waves and cycles in your future, and show you how to harness them for maximal financial success.
And for anyone who signs up, I’ll also give one free election – something that I normally charge $250 for beyond the scope of a natal chart reading.
You’ll leave the session with a clear understanding of the financial and talents for business that you have in your natal chart, as well as an understanding of your problems areas and how to improve them, and a sense of the immediate future and how to prepare.
If you’re excited about aligning your business with the stars, working with your natal talents instead of against them, and knowing your financial future and how to best prepare, then I invite you to sign up for a reading with me.
