Work Your Stars!: Using Astrology to Navigate Your Career Path, Shine on the Job, and Guide Your Business Decisions
A practical astrology guide applying planetary placements to workplace relationships, negotiations, and career strategy.
This paperback connects astrology to corporate environments, offering tools to map professional potential through natal charts. Readers use birth data to evaluate planetary positions, including Mars for leadership traits, Mercury for sales style, and Jupiter for professional opportunities. Abergel provides targeted advice for handling dynamic office interactions, such as negotiating with a Leo manager or communicating with a Gemini assistant. The text suits workers and entrepreneurs who want to apply basic astrological concepts to business decisions, but it is not intended for readers seeking purely traditional or non-career astrology.
Published in August 1999 by Atria Books, this paperback reflects late nineties corporate astrology in the United States. It connects mainstream business communication with mind, body, and spirit practices for modern workers, managers, and small business owners.
