Astrology for business owners is a way to step back before a significant decision – taking on staff, expanding, choosing a partner or setting a launch date – and look at how that decision sits with your own chart and timing. It supports your thinking; it is never a substitute for an accountant, solicitor or business adviser.

If there is a decision on your desk right now, describe it in a short enquiry and I will point you to the reading that suits it.

Why owners bring decisions to astrology

Running your own business is lonely in a particular way. Employees can take problems to a manager; owners often have no one above them. A reading gives you an unhurried hour or half-hour to think out loud with someone outside the business, using a framework that looks at temperament, relationships and timing rather than spreadsheets.

It is especially useful when you have already done the practical homework and still feel undecided. That hesitation often has a personal root – about control, risk, trust or energy – and those are exactly the themes a chart can help you name.

Timing is the other reason. Owners tend to carry many decisions at once, and it is easy to rush the one that most needs patience. Looking at your current planetary period can help you decide which choice to make now and which can wait a season, so energy goes where it is most needed.

Four decisions, four ways a reading can help

Hiring your first or next key person

Bringing someone in changes how you work. The 6th house describes staff and service, and the 7th describes those you work alongside. A reading can explore what kind of support you genuinely need, where you tend to hold on too tightly, and how to hand over.

Expansion: a second site, a new market, a bigger team

Here we look at your current planetary period and major transits to see whether this feels like a season for building or for consolidating. It is reflection on readiness and pace, not a forecast of turnover.

Partnerships and co-founders

A business partnership is a relationship, with all the same questions of communication and trust. The Compatibility Reading covers business as well as love, comparing two charts to show where you complement each other, where friction may arise and how to talk about it early.

It can also help existing partners who have drifted apart in vision, by separating genuine differences of temperament from simple miscommunication.

When to bring the other person in

Ideally, with their agreement and their own birth details. A comparison made without the other person's knowledge is less useful and less fair. If they are sceptical, you can still explore your side of the relationship in your own reading.

Launching something new

Many owners, particularly in Indian and South Asian families in the UK, like to open a shop, sign a lease or launch a product at an auspicious moment. Choosing a muhurta – a well-supported date and time – is the purpose of the Magic of Lucky Dates & Times service, which looks at planetary positions in relation to your horoscope.

What astrology for business owners does not cover

This boundary matters. A reading will not tell you whether to invest, borrow, buy a company or sign a contract, and it will not forecast profit. It is guidance for reflection only. Decisions with financial or legal weight belong with qualified professionals; the reading can sit alongside that advice, helping you understand your own instincts and timing.

In practice, the most grounded owners use a reading after they have spoken to their accountant or adviser, not instead of it. The numbers tell you what is possible; the reading helps you ask whether it is right for you, and whether you have the energy and support for it at this point in your life.

It also will not assess other people's characters for you behind their backs. The focus is your chart, your choices and, where agreed, a shared relationship.

The General Reading for a live business decision

For one clear decision, the General Reading is the natural starting point: 30 minutes of guidance on a personal issue or professional decision. We begin with your question, look at the 10th house (public work), 7th (partners and clients), 6th (staff and daily operations) and 11th (networks and aspirations), then consider your current dasha and the transits of Saturn and Jupiter.

Before the session, it helps to write down:

the decision in a single sentence;
the options you are genuinely considering;
any fixed dates, such as a lease start or a planned opening;
what you are most uneasy about, even if it sounds irrational.

Sessions run online by Google Meet or WhatsApp, so they fit around opening hours, whether your business is in Leeds, Bristol or Edinburgh.

Your premises as part of the picture

Some owners also want to look at the space they work in. The Energy at Workplace session combines your personal horoscope with Vedic astrology, Vastu Shastra and Feng Shui for offices, shops and studios. This article on reading workplace energy after an office move shows what that involves.

Frequently asked questions

Can a reading tell me if my business will succeed?

No. Astrology here is reflection and guidance, not a prediction of financial outcomes. It helps you think about timing, temperament and relationships.

Can I use the date my company was registered?

The reading is based on your own birth chart. If you have a founding date in mind for a future venture, that is a question for date selection.

Is this suitable for sole traders and freelancers?

Yes. The questions are often the same – workload, clients, direction and timing – on a smaller scale.

Can my business partner join the session?

For a joint conversation, a Compatibility Reading is the better fit, with both of you agreeing to share birth details.

To begin, book a General Reading for your decision or send a short outline of your situation. Mention your birth details and any timing you are working to, and I will reply with the clearest next step for you and your business.
