Whether you’re deep into astrology or just exploring spiritual tools for self-understanding, the energetics of your birthday can offer surprising clarity—especially when it comes to your career, leadership, and how you show up in your day-to-day
This guide blends mythology, chakra wisdom, archetypes, and energy patterns for each day of the week—so you can better understand your natural rhythms and how to build a work life that honors them.
How to Find Your Birth Day…
First, look up the day of the week you were born (Google “what day of the week was [your birthdate in specific year]”).
Make a note of how you react to your specific day. Anything you associate it with? What do you know of how it was named? Different origin stories of the day?

Guess which one is my day?
Thursday 🤗 Or Thorsday (named after the Norse god of thunder) And it took me a long time to heal my relationship with work. Not feel like I was constantly being used by systems and extracted.
Rather, how can I build something meaningful, to others, to myself, something that is enduring and authentic?
Understanding your day-of-birth energy isn’t about putting yourself in a box. It’s a tool for self-trust and alignment—one that can help you:
Choose work that fits your energy
Set up your business or schedule in a more nourishing way
Unpack why certain jobs or roles never felt quite right
Make sense of your burnout or over functioning patterns
Reclaim work as a place of integrity, not just output
I’ve had 10+ jobs since 2008. Government contractor. Nonprofit program coordinator. Communications specialist. Freelance writer. Yoga teacher. Career coach. Every time I switched, I thought: “What’s wrong with me? Why can’t I just stay somewhere?”
Turns out, nothing was wrong with me. The system was broken (has been broken for some time). Worker bees are built for hive life. They thrive in structure, hierarchy, and repetition. Wild bees don’t survive in hives. They need autonomy, variety, and self-direction.
The corporate world is a hive. And if you’re a wild bee trying to survive in a hive, you’ll feel:
Constantly exhausted
Like something’s wrong with you
Trapped, but don’t know why
Creatively dead
Because you’re not BUILT for hive life. And the system needs you to think that’s your fault. Because if you think it’s your fault, you’ll:
Keep trying to “fix” yourself
Stay in roles that drain you
Never question the structure
Blame yourself when you inevitably burn out or leave
But if you realize you’re a wild bee? 🐝🐝 Then you stop trying to fit into hives. You start building something that honors how you’re wired.
What I Learned from 10+ Jobs in 10+ years
Every job taught me something I now use in my business:
Government contracting: How bureaucracies work (now I help people navigate them)
Nonprofit work: How mission-driven orgs operate (now I help people exit them strategically)
Freelancing: How to price my time (now I teach this)
Communications roles: How to position a narrative (now I do this for clients)
Yoga teaching: How to integrate body wisdom (now I use cycle-based planning)
None of it was wasted. I wasn’t failing. I was learning about myself and the system. You’re not broken. You’re a wild bee in a system built for worker bees. And that’s not a flaw. That’s information.
Here’s how I turned “job-hopping” into a STRATEGIC advantage:
Step 1: Audit What You Gained (Not What You Lost)
Most people look at job changes as LOSSES: Lost stability, Lost benefits, Lost seniority
I reframed it as GAINS: gained skills in 5+ industries, Gained insight into how systems work and have transferable technical and interpersonal skills
List your last 3-5 jobs.
For each, write:
- 1 hard skill you gained (software, process, certification)
- 1 soft skill you gained (communication, conflict resolution, etc.)
- 1 system insight (how that industry/org actually operates)
Example from my own audit: Nonprofit job
Hard skill = grant writing.
Soft skill = stakeholder management.
System insight = mission drift happens when funding dictates programs.
Repeat this step for all your jobs/industries you’ve been in. You now have a bank of transferable skills.
Step 2: Identify Your Pattern (Not Your “Problem”)
Look at why you left each job. Most people see: “I keep leaving. I’m the problem.” Reframe: “What pattern do I see in what doesn’t work for me?”
For example, my pattern:
Left every job that had a rigid hierarchy
Left every job that required 40+ hours in the office
Left every job that didn’t allow creative input
Step 3: Position It as Strategic (Not Chaotic)
Here’s how I talk about my 10+ jobs now:
Old framing (apologetic): “I’ve had a lot of jobs... I know it looks bad, but I was trying to find the right fit...”
New framing (strategic): “I’ve worked across nonprofit, private, and government sectors. I’ve been every worker classification. I know how the system works—and I teach people how to repurpose their experience to build what actually fits them.”
All in all, you are who you are by design, by choice, and by strength. However you choose to direct your energy for making money and meaning, I hope these frameworks and exercises help in a small way 🌱
