What’s a Career Change?
A career change isn't just taking a new job. It's moving into a completely different work field. Some people stay in the same career from their first job until they retire but other people work in multiple career fields throughout life. And why not? Everyone has different talents, can learn new skill sets, and may want new challenges instead of doing the same thing over and over again.
World Economic Forum shared some interesting findings about careers. They reported that two thirds of workers will have their careers disrupted by technological changes by 2027. They said as a result, today’s workers will need to be lifelong learners, brushing up on skills so they can change careers when necessary. They remind us that the COVID pandemic created something called The Great Migration, where slews of people either had to change careers, or decided to. They said it is estimated by some experts that American workers alone will have up to seven careers before they stop working.

Auspicious Career Move Times
Taking all this into account, is it any wonder that people want to make sure that they make a career move at the right time? There are multiple times when astrological events make it auspicious, or a good time, to make a move in your career. During the New Moon or the Spring Equinox are considered very good times to begin anything new, including career. The sacred season of Samhain is also considered another time. One time when communication is especially good is when Mercury moves direct and so that's a great time to change careers also.
New Moon
Some people base decisions about things like making changes or beginning new things on what the moon phase is. During the New Moon, the moon is positioned between the Sun and the Earth, making it look invisible temporarily. However, it is the beginning of the moon phases. SSo some believe that as the moon starts anew, so should we. You don't have to just do new things on the one day of that moon phase though, because it is believed that the power of the New Moon is potent the day of, the day before, and the day after. So you have 3 days.
Spring Equinox
The Spring Equinox is another time that people believe it is auspicious to begin a new career. This is the end of the winter season and the beginning of spring, when the growing season is kicking off. As the growing season kicks off and light increases, some people believe it is auspicious to begin things anew and get more active. Something else that you could start anew is falling in love again, and you can read more about that here: Falling in Love - Again
Samhain
Another time of year that you might not think of as auspicious to start things anew is the season of Samhain. It is between the Fall Equinox and the Winter Solstice, and it's a time that marks the ancient Celtic beginning of winter time. It was a time when it was believed the realm of the dead and the realm of the living collided because the veil separates them thinned. Honoring the dead and land spirits was done. A lot of today's people will use Samhain as a time for new beginnings. It is the beginning of the dark months when the hard work of harvesting and planting is over. So traditionally, it can be a time of contemplation and change. You can read more about Samhain here.: All About Samhain
Mercury Goes Direct
Mercury rules communication, forward movement, and technology. When Mercury is in Retrograde, or moves backwards, all of this is in limbo. Misunderstandings can happen and communication is slowed down. A lot of people will not start a new career, or anything new for that matter, when Mercury is in Retrograde. Some people say you can start something anew during that time, but there will be complications. If you decide to use Mercury as a powerful tool in helping you begin a new career, just be patient while it's in Retrograde and hit the ground running when it goes Direct.
Best Career Move Times for Each Zodiac Sign
Although there are auspicious times when every Sign could begin a career move, each of the Zodiac Signs should take some things into account based on personality and their personal needs. Read on to find out some things to keep in mind for your Zodiac Sign and the other eleven Signs when you each want to make a career move.
Aries
Aries’ are people of action. However, they can be impulsive and should think twice before they make a major change. Always make sure to leave an employer on good terms in case your career change isn't all that you hoped it would be. Always make sure to think through any change past the initial excitement then you feel when you first start thinking about it. Manipulative individuals are very good at convincing Aries people that their career site is better than it actually is. So if something seems too good to be true, pass it up.

Taurus
Taurus is one of the Zodiac Signs that is least likely to make any career move. Taurases commit themselves to causes and people who really don't deserve them sometimes. Taurases are always looking to rescue someone, take them under their wing, and keep them safe and sound for life. They have a very bad habit of doing that in their career also. If a Taurus feels unappreciated or undervalued, that is an immediate red flag that a Taurus needs to change their career. They should also keep an open mind to the possibility of learning new skills. People will always need your compassion and help no matter where you go, so don't think that you have to stay put in a dead end career.
Gemini
Geminis are master communicators and they should be networking constantly. Their eyes and ears should stay open to the possibility of a career change at any time. Geminis need a lot of mobility, a lot of stimulation, and a lot of socialization. A career that gives you all these things is a great career for you. These natural talents in communication will give you a lot of possibilities no matter what your education level is.

Cancer
Stability is one of the most important things to Cancers, not only for themselves but for their family members who they watch out for. Cancers are acutely aware of the fact that they don't just take care of themselves. Therefore, Cancers should also make sure that they're in a career field that allows them flexibility for when they need to take time off to care for sick relatives or stay home with their child and take care of them. Work is all about supporting the fact that Cancers are needed and when your career does not allow that as a Cancer, you need to make a move.
Leo
Leos are likely to make frequent career and job moves because they need to be emotionally fulfilled at work. Sometimes a job just pays the bills and you have to tolerate the negative things that happen just to keep a roof over your head. Leo's need to make sure that they don't make a career decision based on something that made them angry one time. Career moves should be thought out long term by Leos instead of something based on an emotional reaction. Read more about Leos here: Leo Traits and Love Compatibility
Virgo
Virgos seek out leadership positions because they enjoy organizing, planning, and directing things. Career moves for Virgo should center on a career that gives them the highest capacity for that. One thing that Virgos ought to think about is a career that helps them with personal growth. Some Virgos have the bad habit of thinking that they know everything, but if you want to stay in a position of leadership, your skill set has to constantly improve. So make sure that you get into a career that also helps to finance continued education and allows you time for that.
Libra
Libras need to make a difference in their careers. When a Libra is working in an environment that stresses them to the point that it begins to affect their health, they need to find a way into a new career. It's difficult for Libras to understand that they can make a difference no matter where they go. A smile to a stranger who is having a bad day, picking up extra hours so your coworker can go to their best friend's funeral and then take another day or two off, or a job that allows you to help train new people are all ways to make a difference where you won't need to be stressed.

Scorpio
Scorpios have a powerful, intense drive to excel. Scorpios are also an emotional sign, so they need to work in a career they are passionate about. When your career is not allowing you to excel or you're not passionate about it, it's time to make a career move into something that you are. Scorpios need an opportunity to shine and show off their unique abilities. They also need to be in an environment that helps them to feel emotionally supported. Anytime a Scorpio is in a toxic career, they need to find another one.
Sagittarius
Sagittarius is a Zodiac sign that needs a lot of flexibility and needs to work in a career where they can showcase their fun side. Like Geminis, Sagittarians need a lot of mobility, and any career that stifles that needs to go. Some people don't understand what great leaders Sagittarians make, and they need the opportunity to showcase that. A career that gives them a lot of autonomy is best for them. Just make sure to transition into a career that has a lot of opportunities for growth and make extra sure it's a job where you can show your fun side as a Sagittarian.

Capricorn
Capricorns seem to always be climbing some type of corporate ladder to success. They are very serious about their careers. Capricorns seem to always have their eye on some type of a career move. Therefore, there is really not a bad time for a Sagittarius to make a career move. There is actually one time, and that's when the Capricorn feels like it's a bad time. So, Capricorn, trust your own on this, because you know when the time is right to make a career move.
Aquarius
Aquarians are known for their uniqueness, their abilities to be people pleasers, and the fact that they have a variety of interests and will be bored doing all the same things. Anytime an Aquarian finds themselves stuck in a boring job that does not challenge or interest them, they need to make a career move. Aquarians have a feel for what they dream about, and their career needs to support those dreams. Anytime you as an Aquarian, see an opportunity to move into a career that is what you've always dreamed of, go for it. It's time.

Pisces
Pisces is the most empathic sign, and they need a career that allows them to use that side of themselves. Anytime you get an intuitive feeling that a career would give you a better opportunity for that, go right ahead and move into it. You know best. A career should also allow a Pisces to have quiet time to themselves. They need to emotionally recharge their batteries after they have spent marathon amounts of time emotionally taking care of other people. Time away from work is crucial for a Pisces, and when a career does not allow that, it's time to move into a career that does.
A lot of people will look to Astrology for the “right” time to do things- but sometimes, consulting the position of the heavenly bodies is irrelevant. Sometimes, YOU feel a career move is necessary, so that means it is. Your natural personality based on your Zodiac Sign will let you know when the time is right to make that move. So, listen to yourself, trust yourself, and make the career move that's right for you. On your own time frame.
