After the solar eclipse in Cancer last month, life as we know it will never be the same. The eclipse set us out on new life paths that are directly aligned with our heart’s desires. For some, long-awaited career shifts and work opportunities have manifested, and now the real work begins.

On July 1, career-driven and disciplined Saturn—which went retrograde in May—will shift from Aquarius to Capricorn, where it will continue moving retrograde until September 29. This transit forces us to roll up our sleeves and rebuild the foundation of our career paths.

On a social level, we’re noticing employees scrutinizing their employers for unfair treatment and toxic workplace culture. During this transit, every one of us will be encouraged to push past the limitations of hierarchical workplace systems to carve out your own unique lane. You deserve rise through the ranks and receive the recognition you deserve. With Saturn in Capricorn, we’re being handed greater responsibility to boss up and do the work that reveals and tests our personal strengths—you got this!

Here's what this means for you:

Aries

You’re realizing that your current job doesn’t fulfill all your desires—and you have the power to change that. It’s time to shift your attention to a career path that makes your soul smile. You may be able to do that in your current workplace, but if not, it’s okay to walk away from a job that you’ve outgrown—you're going places.

Taurus

It’s time to step back, do your research, and sharpen up your skills, Taurus. In order to be the best, you must first be a student of the game. The work you’re doing now has potential to influence others beyond the office—so keep doing the damn thing!

Gemini

Beautiful things happen when you step into your power and know your worth, Gemini. New work opportunities will completely transform life as you know it. Keep collecting your coins and building your legacy— you’ve been waiting for this moment.

Cancer

A recent partnership or business connection will lead to major recognition in your industry. Don't burn bridges with previous clients or current co-workers. You never know who can help you grow professionally.

Leo

Bravo, Leo. Your work will receive great recognition during this transit. Continue to spend hours on your craft and watch where it takes you. Be sure to take care of your health, too, since your work might spill over into your personal life—balance is key.

Virgo

Think back to what you loved to do as a child—it has potential to become a major source of income for you now. You might revisit unfinished passion projects you put on hold years ago. Stay creative and have fun with it. Don’t be so hard on yourself.

Libra

Your past work doesn’t define you, Libra. You have the power to create something entirely new for yourself in your career. Just remember to stay true to yourself—and don’t go clout-chasing.

Scorpio

Your voice, thoughts, and ideas have the power to create change in your workplace or industry. If you express your needs and openly communicate, you can build solid foundations. Be the change you wish to see.

Sagittarius

If you’re thinking about starting a business, a minor investment now can pay off in the future. This is a great time to start building up your savings. Also, that promotion, raise, or project is only yours if you’re willing to speak up for it—you’ve worked hard enough.

Capricorn

It’s okay to go back to the drawing board, Capricorn. Revise or recreate your plan for your career and monetary goals. Remain confident in your skills, and have faith that you're already being spoken about in rooms you haven’t walked in, yet. Keep on keeping on, Cap.

Aquarius

You're likely closing one chapter in your career and moving onto the next. Make sure to give yourself time to regroup before jumping into the next step. Don’t let the fear of the unknown hinder your growth—you have the potential to be an even greater boss than you already are.

Pisces

It might feel like you’re all alone and you have no help to propel you forward in your professional goals. In reality, everybody wants to see you win. You have the influence to set major trends in your workplace or industry—show everyone what you’re capable of, Pisces.
