I have
trined my MC that day, and transiting Sun aligned with my natal
I'd say some inconjunctions and sesquiquadrates are necessary to make changes. They'd better be between two benefic planets, such as Venus and Mercury.
But the transiting malefics, then Venus, Sun, Mercury and Mars should trine and sextile MC, Saturn, Jupiter, Mercury, Mars, Sun and Venus in one's natal chart.
I waited for all this and as the Sun hit my 6th house and trined my natal Saturn it worked even though transiting Saturn was and still is killing me
But it still trines my Mars.
It truly was a mission impossible, but it worked. I suppose it would work if the Sun or Venus transited 10th house too.
My explanation is that the benefic planets should bring their power to the symbols of work, earning, growth, career, being evaluated and approved by an authority. I counted Mercury as the application. I count Mars as what you do for this one
And the Sun shined in my work house
I also always make sure that the Part of fortune is doing well enough
