Astrology has been a subject of fascination for centuries, guiding individuals in their personal lives and helping them understand their unique characteristics. We posted previously about using Tarot in the Boardroom and we firmly believe that astrology can also be a powerful tool in the world of business. In this article, we will explore the application of astrology to drive business growth and unlock the untapped potential of cosmic wisdom.
Understanding the basics of astrology
Before delving into how astrology can be applied to business, it’s important to have a basic understanding of this ancient practise. Astrology is based on the belief that the positions and movements of celestial bodies can influence human behaviour and personality traits. The study of astrology involves analysing these celestial bodies, and their inherent characteristics, to provide valuable insight into our daily lives.
How astrology can be applied to business
Astrology offers a unique perspective that can be applied to various aspects of business. For example, through analysing the personal charts of employees, business owners and managers can gain a deeper understanding of their team members’ strengths and weaknesses. This knowledge can be leveraged to create a harmonious and productive work environment. For example, a team with a diverse mix of strengths may have a better balance of skills and abilities, leading to a more well-rounded approach to problem-solving.
Businesses already use approaches very similar through the use of Myres-Briggs or Insights which are other types of tools to show preferences in how people perceive the world and make decisions. Â
Astrology and its characteristics in a business context
Each of us in the workplace possess distinct characteristics that can have an impact on the workplace dynamics. For instance, there are always individuals who are known for their leadership qualities and assertiveness, perhaps this comes from where Mars is in their charts.
On the other hand, you may know of individuals who are praised for their responsibility and perseverance. Is it the placement of Saturn in their charts that makes these people such valuable assets? By understanding these interesting characteristics and motivations, business leaders could make more informed decisions when it comes to building diverse teams.
Astrology and team dynamics
Team dynamics always play a crucial role in the success of any business. These are some of the reasons why businesses already use personality analysis tools. Business leaders already recognise that by analysing the personality types of team members, business leaders can gain insights into how different personalities interact and collaborate. An astrological birth chart is another tool that can provide such insight.
For example, a team with a combination of fire signs (those with the Sun in Aries, Leo or Sagittarius) may be highly energetic and passionate, but they may also clash with each other due to their ‘strong’ personalities. On the other hand, a team with a mix of earth signs (those with the Sun in Taurus, Virgo or Capricorn) may work well together due to their practicality and grounded nature, but may struggle with feeling comfortable being ‘in charge’. Understanding these dynamics can help businesses build stronger teams and foster a more harmonious work environment.
Astrology and decision-making in business
Astrology can also be a valuable tool in the decision-making process. By considering the astrological influences at play, business leaders can make more informed decisions that align with the cosmic energy of the moment. For example, during a period when the moon is in a fire sign, it may be a favourable time to take bold risks and pursue new opportunities. On the other hand, during a period when the moon is in an earth sign, it may be a better time to focus on practical matters and long-term stability. By incorporating astrology into the decision-making process, businesses can increase their chances of success.
Astrology and business forecasting
Business forecasting is an essential aspect of strategic planning. Astrology can provide an additional layer of insight into future trends and opportunities. By analysing the planetary alignments and transits, businesses can gain insights into potential economic shifts, market trends, and emerging opportunities. For example, a favourable alignment of Jupiter and Venus may indicate a good period in time for financial growth and expansion. By staying attuned to these cosmic influences, businesses can adapt their strategies or launches and make informed decisions to stay ahead of the competition.
