How Astrology, Human Design, and Gene Keys Can Guide Your Career Transition
Especially if you’re a highly-sensitive person.
That Moment When You Know Something is Off
One evening, during my corporate career, I came out of my office, presumably on the way to the printer. I lifted my head, and for some reason, in that moment, I really saw the sea of empty cubicles that stretched out before me. Maybe it was the quiet, or maybe the relentless glare of the fluorescent lights made the scene especially surreal that night.
I don’t know exactly what it was, but something stopped me in my tracks. Is this my life? Is this what I’m here for? What am I doing? Why am I here late (again) and everyone else is at home? I’d felt this way before, and something else felt familiar too – helplessness, uncertainty, fear.
I wasn’t exactly trapped, but I felt trapped. In many ways, it wasn’t a bad gig – good work, a good team, money, benefits. I felt grateful and full of angst at the same time. I felt like this for years. Not all the time, but it definitely buzzed in the background, never letting up. The thing is I didn’t know what to do back then. Now, I do.
That’s what I help my clients with. I help them navigate career transitions to more meaningful work. I help them get unstuck and navigate forward with confidence, courage, and clarity.
My Approach
I believe that we’re all unique and the time of one-size-fits-all is over. We’ve been funneled into cookie-cutter careers that treat us like machines. We’re not machines, so no wonder we’re depressed, anxious, and burned out.
I also believe that the more we become ourselves, the more likely we are to find our place in the world, with the people we’re meant to be with, doing the work we feel called to do.
My approach is to meet you where you are in your journey. That’s because most of my clients have been on a journey to fulfilling work, and feel like they’ve tried everything, but are still stuck. A lot of the time, there’s a missing puzzle piece and they get going again. Often, as we women do, we haven’t included ourselves in our journey. We’ve forgotten who we truly are. We take some time to understand what’s getting in the way of you getting what you want.
From a practical perspective, I’m trained as a Life Coach and so have many tools in my tool belt to help you get where you want to go, even if you’re not into the magical tools described in this post. But, the reason I use these magical is because they have been so helpful to me and to my clients. They can be short-cuts to insights. They slice through the bs and get to the heart of the matter.
If you’re feeling lost or not sure what your next step is, these tools can get you feeling better and on your way.
I’m my first client and I still use these tools every day.
The Challenges of Career Transitions for Highly Sensitive Women
If you’re highly-sensitive, you may believe it’s harder for you to make changes, and you may be right. We have:
- Heightened sensitivity – we feel the stress of change more than others
- Stronger attachment to routine – we thrive on stability and predictability
- Sensitivity to Overstimulation – history has taught us that it takes us awhile to grow accustomed to new routines, people, work
- Fear of Criticism – our heightened sensitivity makes us feel everything in the room, and starting a new job ignites our fears of failure and crticism.
How Astrology, Human Design, and Gene Keys Provide Clarity
Astrology: Your Cosmic Blueprint
Among many things it does, Astrology can hold up a mirror to you so you can see your true self. All of us get so conditioned by our families, our schooling, our relationships, our jobs that we forget who we truly are. Astrology helps us get back to basics, to who we really are. When you’re feeling lost, peeling away the layers can create profound feelings self-recognition. I feel the relief my clients feel when they can let go of a story that’s no longer serving them and return to the essence of who they are.
Human Design: Working in Alignment with your energy
Human Design is a newer field that includes Astrology (I’ll write a more comprehensive post on it soon), but includes complementary information. What I like about Human Design, when it comes to careers, is that it provides you with strategy and action plans that are aligned with your energy. This is different information than we find anywhere else, and when you start using it, things change. Life isn’t as hard.
Gene Keys: Unlocking Your Highest Potential
The Gene Keys came out of Human Design. This system provides powerful insights into your Genius, your heart’s desires, and your money. Gene keys help you see the path of your evolution, whether from a personal perspective or a work one. It can tell you whether you work better alone or in groups. It can tell you where your greatest money block lies.
What clients experience through my readings
My clients experience ah-ha’s that help unlock what’s been holding them back, so they can get back on track:
- When things aren’t working at work, it causes a lot of stress. We know things aren’t working, but we don’t what to do about it. Using these tools makes your next step so much clearer.
- Or, maybe you’ve come to the end of one dream, but don’t have another one yet. This happens a lot in mid-life. We’ve lost the enthusiasm we once had. We’re wondering what the point is. Taking a step back and taking stock is vital in these times.
- Or, you might be l like me – you have a moment when you know something is off. Maybe you’ve already had that moment in your career where it suddenly becomes so clear that, although it’s not wrong, it’s not right either. I wish I’d known where to turn when I felt so lost. In fact, this is the main reason I do the work I do. To help others break free from the angst of being on the wrong path.
