Q: Can you help me understand why I keep procrastinating in my career? I’m Sun in Capricorn with Neptune in my 10th House. I’ve had some pretty amazing career opportunities over the years, but I don’t always get the rewards I deserve. I’m super creative and know how to make things happen. But I keep switching from doing and achieving lots, to total inertia and not being sure about what I should do next. I’m really fed up with this as I feel it’s been holding me back in lots of ways most of my life. Why do I keep doing this? Any tips on how to shift procrastination and inner-confusion to self-confidence and clarity would be great.
A: With your Sun in Capricorn you’re industrious and thrive on making things happen – when you can forge your own path. One of the key reasons you’re prone to procrastination is having Neptune in your 10th House of Career. Whilst this makes you an excellent visionary and psychically fine-tuned to the needs of others, you need to watch being thrown off course by constantly shifting career goals, second-guessing yourself, or focusing on the wrong path.
That’s because lower Neptune is masterful at erasing and clouding judgements, in your case, around your ideas, creativity, and the real value that you bring to others.
This is further complicated by your Sun squaring Neptune which can create challenging shadow dynamics between your creativity, what you desire, and your ability to successfully implement in your career. You might also attract takers, self-serving individuals who don’t always have your best interests at heart. Neptune squares mess with being able to see people or situations as they really are. It’s sounding like you’ve been too accommodating and haven’t been setting firm boundaries in place in your career. So you’ve been missing out on the recognition and financial rewards that you deserve because of your trusting and compassionate nature. It’s time to shift this pattern. Right.
Here are the classic warning signs that Neptune is messing with your mind and goals: trusting the wrong people, ignoring your gut feel, sacrificing your ideas and needs, not getting paid what you’re worth, constantly changing your goals, hiding your true feelings.
When you’re stuck you need strategies to get you back on track quickly so you can get on with what you do best – being an innovative leader in your field and a true visionary. Inspiring and uplifting others through your unique ideas and creations.
Recommends: Trust your own ideas and unique take on things. Put stronger boundaries in place. Be more selective with who you consult. Make sure the people around you are trustworthy.
Having the right strategies and structures in place will stop you procrastinating and ensure you get the rewards and recognition you deserve.
