The work, lived.
i · The Feeling
You need your work to be seen, and you need to put your whole heart into it. Anonymous, interchangeable labor is a kind of death for you. You are most alive when you are creating something with your name on it.
iv · Without Self-Betrayal
Success without self-betrayal means making sure the work is genuinely yours and not just a bid for applause. Your need to be seen can pull you toward the spotlight over the substance. Create from a full heart, and let the recognition follow the real thing.
The Midheaven, Sun, Saturn and Jupiter: your vocation signature, where it actually falls in the sky.

What you're known for
Your public, professional signature: drawn from the Midheaven in Leo, the point of the chart the world sees.
Where you do best
Visible, creative, recognition-rich work: you do best where you can genuinely shine.
Your edge
Magnetism and confidence. You make a vision feel worth following.
How you earn
The 2nd house holds income, possessions and the sense of self-worth underneath them; yours carries Sagittarius.
Your earning instinct
You earn most naturally through scope and belief: teaching, travel, and selling a bigger vision.
How you work
The 6th house holds daily work: the rhythm of the job itself, distinct from the career it adds up to. Yours carries Aries.
Day to day
Day to day, you work best fast and physical: short sprints, visible momentum, and not being boxed in by process.
Where you rise, where luck flows
Saturn marks what you master slowly, through real effort; Jupiter marks where growth comes more easily. Both are part of the same career.
Saturn · built through effort
You rise slowly but lastingly through home and foundations; you build security from the ground up: late, but lasting.
Jupiter · natural growth
Opportunity tends to come more easily through who you are: your presence opens doors, and confidence is your asset.
Success blind spots
The pattern to watch
Needing the credit. And struggling when the work is unglamorous or quietly shared.
The shape of your career
Saturn and the Sun do not act alone: the planets they touch shape how discipline and purpose actually run. These are the tightest major aspects to each.

Career timing · the year ahead
When the slow planets perfect an aspect to your Sun, Saturn and Jupiter: the seasons that support visibility, test your structures, or open growth. Dates are when the transit is exact (UTC).

A note on using this
This is a map of how you are built to work and earn. Not a verdict on your worth, and not a ceiling on your path. Astrology describes the terrain and its weather; which way you climb, and how far, stays yours.
