Day 3 | Work, Purpose & Contribution
ASTROLOGY + TAROT
Together, these tools support the deeper work of yoga: becoming aware of conditioning so it can soften, release, and transform.
SPOTLIGHT ON: saturn
Saturn is the planet of responsibility, commitment, and lived ethics. In astrology, Saturn shows where we are asked to meet reality with integrity, patience, and care. It is closely linked to dharma - not as an ideal to aspire to, but as the ongoing practice of taking responsibility for our actions, limits, and contributions in the world.
In 2026, Saturn moves from Pisces into Aries, marking a collective shift from reflection into responsibility-led action. This transit asks what we are willing to stand for, commit to, and act upon, even imperfectly. Saturn in Aries emphasises courage, ethical leadership, and sustained effort over quick results.
Everyone has a unique astrological natal chart based on their birth, and within it a Saturn placement that reflects the area of life where you are learning maturity, discipline, and long-term responsibility. It often points to work that feels demanding but deeply meaningful, and to lessons that unfold slowly over time. When we work consciously with Saturn, effort becomes purposeful, and limitation becomes a teacher rather than a punishment. You can use your Saturn placement or Sun sign for the below insights.
Aries carries a karmic lesson around initiation and courage in work. Contribution comes through starting, leading, and taking risks others hesitate to take. Over time, Aries learns that true purpose is not just about momentum, but about sustaining energy beyond the first spark. Work becomes dharmic when action is guided by integrity, not urgency.
ARIES
Taurus learns purpose through steadiness, devotion, and value-building. Its karma lies in understanding that slow, consistent effort creates lasting contribution. Work is meaningful when it supports sustainability- of people, resources, and systems. Taurus teaches that what we tend patiently becomes a form of service.
Taurus
Gemini’s karmic work centres on communication, learning, and exchange. Contribution comes through sharing information, connecting ideas, and creating dialogue. Over time, Gemini learns to focus energy so that insight becomes impact. Purpose matures when curiosity is placed in service of clarity and understanding.
Gemini
Cancer carries karma around care, protection, and emotional labour. Work often involves nurturing -people, spaces, or systems that need safety to function. Contribution becomes aligned when Cancer learns to care without self-erasure. Purpose is found where emotional intelligence supports collective wellbeing.
Cancer
Leo learns purpose through creative expression and visibility. Its karmic task is to offer gifts generously, without attachment to recognition. Work becomes contribution when creativity uplifts others, not just the self. Leo’s dharma is to lead with heart, warmth, and authenticity.
Leo
Virgo’s karmic path is deeply tied to service, skill, and refinement. Contribution comes through improving systems, offering care through precision and attention. Over time, Virgo learns that usefulness does not require perfection. Purpose softens when service includes compassion for human limits.
Virgo
Libra learns work and purpose through balance, ethics, and relational responsibility. Contribution lies in mediation, fairness, and creating harmony within systems. The karmic lesson is to act decisively without losing equilibrium. Purpose emerges when justice and beauty are actively upheld.
Libra
Scorpio carries karma around power, transformation, and depth in work. Contribution often involves confronting what is hidden, broken, or avoided. Over time, Scorpio learns to use intensity in service of healing rather than control. Purpose is found where truth leads to regeneration.
Scorpio
Sagittarius learns purpose through meaning, belief, and vision. Work becomes contribution when wisdom is shared in ways that expand perspective. The karmic task is to ground ideals into lived responsibility. Purpose matures when truth is paired with accountability.
Sagittarius
Capricorn’s karma is closely tied to responsibility, structure, and long-term contribution. Work often carries weight, leadership, or obligation. Over time, Capricorn learns that success is not only endurance, but also alignment with values. Purpose deepens when authority is exercised with care.
Capricorn
Aquarius learns contribution through collective vision and social systems. Work often involves innovation, reform, or community-oriented change. The karmic lesson is to stay emotionally engaged while thinking collectively. Purpose emerges when ideals are translated into practical impact.
Aquarius
Pisces carries karma around compassion, unity, and spiritual connection. Love is learned through empathy and dissolving separation, but the lesson lies in maintaining boundaries. In community, Pisces reminds us of our shared humanity. Connection becomes healing when love is grounded as well as infinite.
