Dear Mallory...Should I return to corporate?

Dear Mallory,

I am at a crossroad in my career where I'm feeling a little bored. I'm a solo-entrepreneur, I have a desire for more variety in my work and I'm wondering if that means expanding my own business in different ways or should I get back into the corporate world?

Dear Professional Secret Keeper,

Don't return to corporate because you're bored, first create more variety and collaboration within the business you've already built.

Your restlessness isn't a sign that you've chosen the wrong path; it's a sign that your work has stopped stretching you.

Your chart shows someone who thrives on autonomy, fresh experiences, and relationship-building, making long periods of routine or isolation difficult to sustain.

Current transits suggest you're entering a season of redesign, where expanding how you work is likely to be more rewarding than abandoning what you've already built.

What to do right now:

Explore a strategic partnership or collaboration that brings new ideas, energy, and opportunities into your business.

Experiment with a new service, audience, or creative direction before deciding whether corporate is the better path.

Bottom Line: Follow the path that expands your energy, not just your options.
