Introduction
What do I want to be when I grow up? This childhood question is now being
considered by people from fifteen to fifty. The number of jobs available
is not the main problem. The difficulties come from two areas: first, the
vocational possibilities are rapidly changing. Second, many of us are
considering our second or even third career because our original choice is
becoming obsolete, or makes demands upon us that we could not have
anticipated, or is losing prestige, or no longer pays well enough, or has
become so mechanized as to bore us to automated tears. In short, we want
more.
This report describes your vocational aptitudes from the
astrological perspective so that they can be matched in the career
marketplace. While the jobs themselves are ever-changing, personality is
founded on a solid base upon which to pivot. Self-understanding can supply
the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual clues to your best line of
work. Then you can determine how to apply your strongest capabilities to
the career field you find most attractive. The best career is one that
allows you to use your natural talents and skills.
Astrologers use a
number of considerations to determine the energies that are strongest and
most beneficial in your chart, identifying the type of activities that
will be most likely to achieve career success. Sometimes your latent
abilities will require training to develop into appropriate occupational
skills. Also, you may have talents that serve your avocation - your hobby
- better than your career. In this report we will consider a number of
possibilities so you can get a sense of which talents are most beneficial
in terms of career, and how to develop and use them.
Your Ascendant or Rising Sign
Let's begin with a description of your Ascendant or rising sign. Here you
find your natural expression in the world - the way you present yourself
to the world and the way others see you. You enjoy all aspects of
communication, and thus would do well in writing, telecommunications, or
travel. You see the value of internal clarity and seek a clear connectin
between your spirit and its expression. By the same token you understand
the importance of clear communicatin between people and strive to express
yourself well.
Teaching or other use of the mind suits your personal
style. You have a well developed sense of judgment and can teach others to
be discriminating in their studies or work as well. In addition, through
teaching you continue to learn.
You can handle clerical or postal work, and
can serve well as an intermediary or agent. These types of work draw on
your ability to manage details and to keep several projects going at
once.
You may develop a skill for conflict resolution. You see the
inherent harmony of things behind the apparent discord, and your clarity
of expression can help others to focus on the desired outcome instead of
becoming mired in the unpleasant realities of the moment.
What you need
is an opportunity to use your mental faculties in your work. You may
become bored easily, and therefore need challenges. If it is lacking in
your education, you train yourself to be logical and analytical. You need
to maintain a level of objectivity to be successful.
Now take these
initial impressions forward with you as you read the rest of this report.
You will come to see if and how these general characteristics fit into the
overall picture of your vocational possibilities. As you read, you may
find apparent contradictions. This happens because we are complex beings
with many interests and abilities. This report presents some of your many
choices along the path to vocational success and satisfaction.
Your Creative Touch
Human creativity falls into three principal arenas: creation (the making
of things), recreation (the entertaining side of life), and procreation
(the creation of the future). Everyone actively engages in all three
creative processes, and we often confuse the feelings of one for another.
The term "recreational sex" captures the sense of confusion. Some of us
work really hard to get "good sex". Some of us feel sex serves only one
purpose, that of procreation. Some of us find the deepest spiritual
meaning of life in sexual union. To confuse such deeply meaningful matters
with mere recreation can be a problem.
In terms of career, creativity
plays a big role, but typically sexual involvement in the workplace only
serves to establish barriers to the free flow of ideas. To gain better
understanding of the inner creative urge in its multiplicity of expression
is to gain a leg up on the career issues that can lead us to money and
fame without also finding inner satisfaction in the work itself. Your
creative eye focuses on refinement and elegance, both in the process
itself and in the result. For you means do not justify the ends if the
means are messy and undignified. The ends are satisfying only when they
have the stamp of quality that elegance suggests.
You thrive on the
creation of glamour around your work, but not if it detracts from its
meaningfulness. You take the greatest pleasure in partnerships, and
therefore work best in situations where you have someone with whom to
share projects. You are able to balance the objective and subjective
perspectives in your creative work. You may find that at some point your
creative focus is modified to include a somewhat different mode of
expression that has the following characteristics: You are often at your
creative best when others cannot see anywhere to go. You have a somewhat
ruthless ability to hang on and survive, and in fact you thrive on crises.
You understand the cycle of birth and death, and can see past the end of a
cycle. Your creative work demands steady attention to achieve a complete
transformation. Your greatest pleasure is found in work that achieves the
birth of something new and wonderful out of something old and dead. Your
feelings are always an integral part of your creative process. Many people
find that the creative urge seeks to apply itself in a particular area of
life that may have very little to do with career. By the same token, the
creative voice can dictate the path of vocation, if it is either strong
enough or consistent with the overall vocational choices. It helps to
understand what part of the creative process most pleases you, what
feelings and activities you consider to be most creative.
You bring
diligence and orderly procedures to your creative work, giving it a
logical balance. You are capable of being overly critical, and you
recognize that quality in others. Your methodical approach solves many
problems without undue stress. It also helps to be aware of how you can
use your creativity to the best advantage.
Your creativity works best
in areas where communication flows freely. Thus any career that involves
travel, computers, or any form of communication will appeal to you. You
can manage two or three projects at one time. Who do you most like to play
with when you are being creative? You may think this an odd question where
career is concerned, but it strikes at the heart of the career game. If
you surround yourself with people who share your creative interests, you
will fulfill your inner urge more directly and completely. Just as
children work hard at their games, you can play hard at work and thus
enjoy this part of your life that takes up the bulk of your waking hours.
You choose between indulgence in pleasurable activities and the focusing
of your mind on matters of the inner heart. You enjoy intrigue and use
your intellect well in figuring out puzzles and competitive choices.
You
have a knack for finding the auspicious moment to speculate. Activities
involving children tend to call upon your versatility.You enjoy being
around true professionals, so look to attorneys, ambassadors, professors,
even Supreme Court justices or accomplished writers to stimulate your
creativity. You could also find that people associated with these
professions are just your type, such as journalists, critics, deputies or
registrars. It is the atmosphere of philosophy, learning and judgment that
appeals to your creative part.
Awareness is a creative process. Your
awareness allows creativity to emerge and each creative act inspires
greater awareness. You are enthusiastic in all activities, but should be
certain of the direction of your passions. Special projects can draw on
your psychic power and can feel magically delightful. Your creative
imagination takes you through the veil of reality into another world,
populated with artists, movie stars, detectives and spiritual counselors.
You are able to take ideas and manifest them in the material world for
others to see. You enjoy being around people who can let their
imaginations emerge in their work, like illustrators, writers and occult
practitioners. Hospital and pharmacy employees, opticians or anyone who
changes our perceptions of the world are interesting as well.
You can
develop a sense of the importance of creativity to your work, and also
what factors affect your creative expression, by considering how you seek
creative interplay with others and with the world. You take a practical,
common sense approach to cyclical changes in your life. You can use this
approach in business situations by maintaining a sense of your objectives.
If you experience a lack of clarity in the midst of changes, you can
balance nervousness with physical activity. You seek the ideal in all your
relationships and are sometimes surprised to find that great beauty comes
with its apparent lack of inner substance. Blessed with good health and
generally destined for success, you experience challenges which focus your
attention on the development of healthy attitudes and good nutritional
habits. The constructive qualities of firmness, modesty and determination
can be derailed by internal turmoil relating to delicate health and
pessimistic thoughts.
Sudden changes bring new circumstances into your
life. You have a progressive mind which can manage such changes. It is
possible to align your thinking to minimize upsets connected with new
conditions.
The typical results of your creative forays have the following
characteristics: Fortunate turns in your life are the stuff of legends.
Occasionally you miss the opportunity, but generally you seek independence
and adventure and find them. You are challenged to maintain structure when
your psychic energy is pulling you off balance. Deceptive currents in your
life can also help you develop qualities of compassionate foresight. You
are methodical in your work, planning carefully and working very hard. Do
not allow your inner tension or inhibition to create a foundation for
illness.
You are a highly sensitive person and can develop your psychic
gifts steadily throughout your life. You are aware of events before they
occur. Your emotional life leads to personal growth, but only when you
balance emotions in social situations. You experience passionate
relationships because of your ability to moderate between Self and Other.
You have a warm heart and creative abilities. There can be fluctuating
feelings or a lack of tact. You fall in and out of love easily. In fact
you enjoy the beginning and ending of relationships because of the
excitement. Your actions sometimes appear eccentric to others. Current
shifts in your creative pattern may be indications of a refinement of your
activities to suit the daemon or inner voice. Your awareness of that voice
is subject to changes that can have sweeping effects on your career path.
Recent Influences
Your love life takes on a level of compulsion, and you feel intense
attraction. Your romantic life makes you aware of all the beautiful things
around you. You can be successful in many areas right now, including
business activities, speaking engagements, and common sense analysis. Your
idealism is at a high now, and you tend to speculate a bit. There may be
gains without much apparent effort.
Current and Future Trends for the Coming Year
You have been under the spell of illusion and are now coming out of it,
feeling rather depressed or disappointed. You are tempted to betray your
partners, both in love and in the work arena. The challenge is to weather
the ups and downs of this period. You may change career at this time. You
fall in love with everyone and everything right now. This could even
extend to new career responsibilities. Disappointment from someone you
have trusted is a possibility at this time.
Creativity and Career
You may be wondering how creativity affects your career. Perhaps you don't
feel that the work you do is very creative, or perhaps you have creative
pursuits that are not part of how you earn money. Creativity is the
expression of an ideal that we each find within ourselves. We each have a
unique inner essence that deserves to be polished and re-fined in our
individual ways. This essence can be expressed through vocation, and
indeed it is a force that pushes us toward the most fulfilling career
fields. Many factors combine to produce the best vocational choice.
Multiple abilities may combine in a profession not usually associated with
the individual qualities you possess.
Where You Have the Best Advantage
In the world of vocation certain energies work to your best advantage. The
creative process of nourishment is yours. You tend to sustain and
integrate your resources; this gives you the power to respond and to feel.
You can creatively reorient yourself, changing shape to fill whatever
career container you have at the moment. You can broaden your experience
by flowing and spreading yourself as far as you desire. This expansion of
consciousness allows for commingling and interchange and is indicative of
interpersonal commerce. You have the creative energy found in controlled
passion. A key word for your process is to nourish.
You may manifest some
of these traits in your career: emotional balance (or lack), empathic
ability, a sense of your own feelings, psychic or intuitive ability,
ability to face pain, and ability to express highest spiritual values of
love, compassion, devotion. At best you master emotions instead of
letting them have free rein. These may not be your greatest strengths, yet
they work better for you in the work environment, they help you to achieve
greater career success and fame, and they may even be essential for
financial remuneration. For some people, the things that work where
vocation is concerned are very different from what work in relationships
or other areas of life.
Your Most Likely Mode of Expression
You are able to figure out the nuts and bolts of situations, and then turn
them to your advantage through practical effort. Not afraid of physical
challenges, you also appreciate the creature comforts that success brings.
You are well-prepared to handle the day to day operations of a business.
You are the type who may have built sand castles as a child, and ends up
designing homes, bridges, high rises and other structures as an adult.
You
are able to visualize the results of your concrete labors. You are
dependable in your work, capable of persisting through to completion with
assigned tasks. You are able to recall details and accumulate the
information you need for your work. You can be rather stubborn. You are
able to adapt to conditions as they arise, learning how to manage and
attend to details.
You can take on the role of mediator, as you can
entertain more than one viewpoint. You can be indecisive. You may decline
to take the initiative in any situation, choosing to let someone else be
in charge. You need a boost to gather momentum for projects, and are
willing to wait patiently for a push from a source outside yourself.
How You Work Best
Each of us has to work within the framework of
our personal
traits and habits. Life is not so much about changing those habits as it
is about choosing to emphasize one set of behaviors over another. Through
this process character is revealed. If we changed our behaviors all the
time, we would never settle into the strength of character that we need.
Generally, when we desire to change ourselves, we aim to change how we
understand and work with our inner being, how we can come to accept that
being.
This section of the report considers how you operate in the world,
and thus how you tend to function in the work environment.
Your Strongest Psychological Tendency The Sun is indicative of
your primary psychological
type. Psychology and astrology both suggest that each individual has a
basic style in interacting with the world. The Sun sign indicates the more
conscious portion of your style. Individuals do not necessarily conform to
this in their outer expression, but it nevertheless is consistent with the
underlying approach to life.
With the Sun in Leo, you are primarily the
Intuitive type. Intuitive types listen to their unconscious sources of
information, eschewing normal perception. In fact, they are often largely
unaware of what is around them in the material world. These people are the
inventors, the artists, the forward thinkers because they can see the
possibilities of an idea, often before the means of developing it are
apparent. Therefore they pursue what they know the world is not yet
prepared for. Intuitives jump to conclusions, yes, but not necessarily
without the intermediate steps. They either go through those steps at
light speed by sizing up an underlying principle or simply recognize an
inevitable match of an idea's potential with their own desires.
You fit
into the educational system rather well, as many high school and college
courses make use of the deductive skills intuitives share with the
thinking type. You may respond well to the timed testing that is prevalent
today. You can master the complexities of mathematics because you can
grasp the results without having to ground your learning in some physical
way.Intuitives contribute through their inventiveness.
You are generally
willing to sacrifice the pleasure of the moment in the hope of greater
future achievement. You are also restless and crave inspiration. Because
you thrive in situations where getting to the answer is important, you are
good at problem-solving and tasks that require ingenuity. Careers in the
creative arts, religious inspiration and scientific discovery all suit the
intuitive type.
You can become an inspired leader or promoter. For you the
game is more important than winning, the chase more interesting than the
end result.
Your Unconscious Interactive Style
The Moon indicates the less
conscious component of your interactive style. It shows what skills and
talents can be brought to bear when your usual approach is not effective,
and as such it indicates your own internal support system. With the Moon
in Libra, your secondary function is the Thinking type.
Thinking types
tend to be less personal in their approach to the world. They are focusing
on an objective truth that they hope to find, and not on the people in
their path. They choose to be logical. They choose to be truthful. They
choose to be argumentative - after all, they have argued with themselves
enough times! They are usually able to go through a thought process once
and stop, without needing to re-evaluate.
Air types benefit from an
education that includes logical training, but they remain one-sided if
they skip over the opportunities to appreciate the people and things
around them. They judge the world through a logical process that seldom
admits consideration of feelings.You can do well in careers where it is
important to organize and assess quantities of information.
You tend to be
somewhat more businesslike, able to "cut to the chase" in planning as well
as performance. You contribute to society through intellectual criticism,
through the exposure of wrong-doing, and through scientific research. You
perform well in executive positions partly because such positions are
somewhat impersonal. You are willing to tell the truth, even when it is
not convenient.
What You Show the World and What You Know About Yourself
If you are aware of how other people see you, you have a distinct career
advantage. Such awareness provides a tremendous opportunity to present
yourself in the best light possible. You may have a rather different
persona in the work place than you have anywhere else because different
traits are expected by your co-workers. You therefore can choose to
display those personality characteristics that suit your work situation
the best.
Your natural direction where individuality is concerned is to
proceed on a spontaneous basis and to seek immediate intuitive solutions
to problems. You have vivid communicative abilities and remarkable mental
flexibility. You enjoy being around others and are sympathetic and willing
to be helpful. You may lean on your co-workers for support occasionally,
yet you thrive independently as a general rule. You spend time wishing for
things and planning for the future.
Your personality naturally tends to
exhibit adaptability and mobility, along with good understanding of events
around you. At the same time you like to see change and can implement it
yourself. Your naturally good manners come across well in the work
environment. Others respond well to you because you draw on your wide
range of interests and knowledge of human nature. The qualities you most
easily recognize in yourself are the ability to wait and see what will
happen and the instability that this can create.
You are impressionable
and should cultivate the ability to use your intuition. You seek
simplicity in your life and in your work. You know that you tend to take
on other people's problems and the difficulties this can cause. You
structure your life to include simple pleasures and to support your
philosophical interests.
You value your down time. You know you have
higher spiritual perception than most people, yet you resist letting go of
that in order to gain even more. You respond well because you can quickly
assess a crisis situation and feel the flow of psychic energy. Over time
this results in deeper spiritual awareness. Sometimes it seems that other
people understand you better than you do.
As you become more self-aware
through experience and self-investigation, you see the connections between
feelings, situations and events more clearly. You thus are better able to
make creative choices in response to life's slings and arrows, instead of
reacting from a less conscious drive.
Individual Strengths Being Developed at This Time
As you travel life's path, the balance of your attention
changes. These shifts allow you to experience the world in different ways
for a period of time, and thereby to develop new skills. The periodic
shifts provide what you need to gain perspective if you are to take
advantage of learning opportunities as they are presented. These shifts
may call for career changes as well. At this time you have the potential
to grow through patient considerations of how factors in the environment
are likely to evolve.
By considering the practical outcome, you give
yourself another way to evaluate problems and deal with them. For the next
few months, you can come to understand your emotional nature as an
inherent strength. You may develop a new toughness. The best path is to
avoid aimless drifting while also steering clear of ruthless ambitious
actions. You learn to use your feelings as a vocational tool.
During the
current period you have more restless energy, together with
self-confidence and enthusiasm. You expect to find a place in your career
and to hold it. You desire recognition and may sometimes seem
self-absorbed. Your sociability is a career strength. The qualities you
stand to gain at this time include the capacity to apply personal effort
in your work and the ambitious pursuit of the goals you set for yourself.
You may learn that your optimism is a personal strength. You also
recognize rash impulses and the occasional inability to let go of an idea
that has lost its usefulness. You learn how you respond in moments of
crisis.
How You Relate to the World in General
Many factors add up to the
sum total of your presence in the world. Some character traits are quite
stable, changing very little throughout your life. They are the "mind set"
with which you approach all your activities and as such have a strong
impact on your career. This section of your report considers how these
persistent qualities affect you in your career endeavors. Psychologists
use the terms introversion and extraversion to describe two general ways
of approaching the world. These tendencies are rather obvious to others,
yet you may not recognize them in yourself.
In psychological terms, as an
introvert you judge the world in terms of what events mean for you and you
are not as responsive to others as the extravert. Life's activities tend
to be measured on an internal, personally unique basis. In introversion
one's thoughts refer more to the self, to what is within the individual.
You seek to understand what life offers before you jump into it. If there
is a real world for you, it is the inner world of ideas and subjective
understanding.
You tend to insulate yourself against the outer world in
favor of the inner life. Another pair of differences fall on a continuum
between very self-directed and self-motivated to more responsive or
reactive to other people and outside forces. You have the potential to
develop, to increase your skills and awareness. There is movement in the
direction of greater personal control in your life than others experience.
You like to be in command of situations and create your own circumstances.
Even if you work for other people, you like to be responsible for your own
work. You are able to exercise initiative and find ways to apply your will
to projects. You like to see your projects grow and you put in the
necessary energy for this to happen.
You tend to measure success in terms
of personal results. These two tendencies combine to produce a personal
approach to the world. You tend to focus your attention on the self and
persona (what you show to the world), your possessions (financial worth)
and feelings (self-worth), and how you express yourself to others and
learn about your immediate environment. This is the area of life over
which you have the greatest potential control, as you are the only one who
even knows the true content of yourself. You are also the one who decides
how to act toward others, and you are the source of your own personal
motivation to learn and to communicate.
A third consideration is how your
mind functions. How you assimilate information and then put that
information to use in the outer world can have a huge impact on your
career success. It influences not only the career choice itself, but also
the area you choose within the career.
You tend to be ahead of yourself
all the time. You seldom take the time to stop and smell the roses, as you
are onto the next project already. You will need to cultivate the usual,
the normal, the mundane to be successful in the work environment. You may
struggle to learn meditation as sitting still is actually rather painful.
Even if you slow down to a pace you consider deadly, you will still be
going faster than most of the people around you. The cell phone and
computers were made for you to keep track of the details and keep up to
date as you rush through life.
If you are honest about it, you can learn
to enjoy life at other people's pace, at least part of the time.
Summary
Thus far this report has revealed traits of your personality which you may
be more or less familiar with. Most people identify with one or more parts
of their personality. You may not see yourself exactly as described here,
and you certainly will want to consider the qualities that are entering
your awareness now, as they are the fuel for future personality
developments, and possibly for career advancement as well.
Your Vocational Indicators
Each of us has a natural inclination to function a particular way, and
these tendencies become pronounced in vocational activities. We carry our
personal desires across a personal boundary into the social milieu and
find greater or lesser resistance to our desires there. Yet we may
stubbornly press on, attempting to bend the world to our personal desires.
We tend to hold on to the old form, even if it no longer serves us.
"Better the devil you know" is itself a timeworn maxim. If, instead of
insisting, we learn from social feedback and adapt our approach to the
world, we find that life is gentler and career more satisfying.
Your
personal emotional bias, how you concentrate your talents, and how you
best learn from experience all impact vocation in spite of any desires to
the contrary. There are several fundamental qualities that bear on
vocation, and the following paragraphs consider these factors.
The focus
is on your self-will and egocentricity. You tend to believe you know the
"only" right way to do things. As such, you are best placed in an
independent career situation that maximizes your ability to work hard.
Your advancement may not be as fast as you would like, but you will know
that you are responsible for your personal success.
You have the ability to
concentrate on your self-restraint and desire for steady advancement to
see you through the long haul. Keep this in mind in every area of
endeavor, not just vocation. You learn through focused studies. There is
one area of life where your hard work will achieve the best results.
Because of this, you may be steered in a direction that you cannot easily
perceive from within the confines of past experience. You need to look
beyond past experience and desires into the larger context of your life to
find the best place for your efforts.
Most people expect a career to
provide status, money, and other satisfactions. The type of work indicated
here may seem odd, but deserves consideration nonetheless, as it may
deliver long term rewards that you cannot perceive at the outset. The
personal assets you need to develop for career success are cooperative
attitude and tactful demeanor.
Your first job needs partnership qualities,
even if you are not an equal partner. There should be an executive quality
to the work that will help you to build conscientious work habits and a
track record for reliability. You are the natural partner type, so
cooperation continues to be a big part of your work life. Together you
gain the attention and success you deserve.
Current Direction
You take the awareness you have of your productive capacities, and you
apply it in the world. You are able to accept challenges and work with
them, based on an awareness of your impact on the world around you.
Instead of the world challenging you, you are able to carry your challenge
into the world. You may also consider the area of your life in which these
impulses can best be applied, and the focus that will gain the most
positive results. You are approaching the ending of a cycle in which you
have learned about yourself, extended yourself into family and personal
activities, worked with others, and refined your associations. You now
have the opportunity to evaluate your personal progress with an intention
of inspiring the next cycle. You may feel that fate is limiting your
movement. Use this time to inspire yourself and to let go of negative
desires of any kind. At this time you need to control the restlessness
that may arise. Steady, thorough communication and study of problems in
your career will contribute to deepening your ability to place yourself in
the most promising position. What you learn at this time will be
available to you always, so pay attention. All of these considerations
come together into a package of skills, decisions, and goals combined with
your current potential. The sum total is a description of your ability to
learn from experience. If you are well placed in a career field,
emotionally suited to the demands of the actual job, and oriented clearly
to your goals, you will be successful.
How to Apply Your Energy to the Career
Having looked at how a solid foundation may be established, we now turn to
the application of your personal energy to the goal of fulfilling your
dreams. The previous paragraphs suggest the most natural form or structure
of your career, while the following shows how you pursue it. How do you
apply yourself? What drives you? How far can you go? These questions are
all answered by your personal energy and how it can work with your natural
abilities. Early on restlessness can keep you moving from one job
situation to the next without seeming direction. You also tend to scatter
your energies into projects that appear to be a waste of time. The
qualities underlying these feelings, the readiness for action, mobility
and versatility, are all qualities that carry the later career development
to its highest point. You also have a sense of humor that grows out of
your richness and variety of experience, and a sense of humor is a career
asset for you. You are precise. You are thorough. You seldom miss details.
You keep your appointments. In addition to these basics, you are a skilled
researcher, able to resolve any ambiguity in the materials you are dealing
with. You can be overly critical of yourself and others, and are somewhat
irritable from time to time. Learn to leave room for uncertainty, refrain
from judgment, and work with your natural intuitive capacity.Early in life
energy almost seems to use you, as you have little control over desires.
Throughout your life you learn to moderate desires of the moment with
longer term plans, and you adapt to the environment of parental control,
school requirements, peer pressure, marriage or relationship
responsibilities, etc. Energy becomes, instead of its own director, an
agent for your use, being guided by your will. You may find your will
power and determination change in their expression earlier or later in
your career, depending on your personal developmental path and how you
respond to life. Some uses may seem out of reach in youth and commonplace
in middle age, or vice versa.
Your Career Success
It is helpful to think of career success separate from the money earned,
as success is not limited to material gain. A person could be held in very
high esteem in his career field and not be the biggest success in the
money department. Also, the slice of the career pie will often determine
the earning potential. Of the three factors involved in vocation (career,
money and work environment), the career itself has the most public impact.
Here is where reputation is built, here is where one gains authority in
one's field, and here is where ambition can be fulfilled.
You seek
simplicity in your career. This may work well in the career environment,
but it can lead to a lack of clarity because of over simplification. You
need time alone to reflect, and therefore you are not well-placed in a
position under constant fire. You can see the global picture and feel it
deeply as well.
Career fields suited to you include character actors,
artists, astrologers, boat makers, chemists, dancers, detectives,
distillers, chemical engineers, fishermen, hospital workers, monks,
mystics, nuns, oceanographers, photographers, psychics, priests, prison
guards service station owners and attendants, water occupations and occult
writers.
You may find that at some point you undertake a second, rather
different career that has the following characteristics: The focus is on
you and your aims in life. Ambition, confidence and optimism combine to
make you a potentially strong leader, and conversely, a not so successful
follower. However, here as elsewhere, this one consideration cannot be
used to assess the total career package, or the whole person.
Career fields
suited to you include adventurer, butcher, hat maker, diamond cutter or
dealer, metallurgical engineering, fire man, hair dresser, iron worker,
military, metal worker, optometry, service station owner or attendant,
physical therapy, thermodynamics and welder.
For most people there is one
area of the life, not necessarily associated with work, that influences
the career strongly. There may be skills developed there that can be
directly applied to the career. Also, it may influence the choices you
make in where and how to pursue your career. Your career goals draw out
the creative talents you possess, and your career should support your path
toward self-reliance.
Children may play a big role in career and career
decisions. Your powerful magnetic personality attracts significant people
to you and thus indirectly enhances your career. You may need to learn to
express yourself without apearing to be sarcastic or domineering. You can
develop a sense of how significant career is to your life in general, and
also what factors affect the progress of your career, by considering how
you become more aware in general, how you interact with the people and
events around you, and how these responses affect your work. You become
aware of spiritual motives rather separate from your self-awareness. These
motives are no less potent, only less integrated with your knowledge of
yourself. The connection between who you are and what you know about
yourself is indirect, coming through the influence of others.
You use your
thought processes to develop self-awareness. To the extent that thinking
has been cultivated, you are well-equipped to plan and pursue objectives
on the mental level. It is essential for you to train the mind. Sloppy
thinking will only lead to sloppy pursuit of objectives. One quality of
mind is its changeability; you can lose focus if your mind is not
well-trained and practiced. Another quality is the capacity to resolve
conflict; you come to resolutions directly through self-awareness, or
ego-consciousness, whereas other people may use different means.
You are
capable of a profound awareness that all concrete knowledge is rooted in
the love principle. The close connection between beauty and
ego-consciousness allows expression to embody harmony and balance in
concrete form. This can include plastic arts, writing, and any activity
whose aim is to achieve a higher level of harmony in the physical world as
well as in interpersonal and social relations.
The ability to decide what
to do and the action itself are closely connected to the awareness of
self. This connection between self and action leads to organizational
ability, independence and determination. It also is indicative of prudence
because you are bringing self-awareness to your activities. The
integration of ego-consciousness with action results, then, in more
orderly activities and fewer missteps. That is the constructive side. Less
constructive expression can result in careless action, due largely to the
lack of cultivation of thinking processes. Self-control gains improved
results. You experience expansion in your self-awareness, but not through
any action on your part.
You grasp the philosophical implications of your
career activities. You cannot understand the structure of your career path
directly, as most people do. You have greater success when you allow the
career to develop without pushing. Apply yourself to the task at hand and
let the chips fall as they will. You have an instinctual understanding of
the balance of the people and circumstances around you. You won't have a
conscious awareness of this, but it will be there, so trust it.
Uncertainty
is the keyword for this combination. Ego-consciousness is frequently not
available, or only after great effort. You must work hard to manifest the
higher qualities of psychic awareness. The strength gained from
contemplative practice of meditation can provide more consistent mental
focus which compensates for dreaminess and aimlessness. As you move into
the 21st Century, you will find better ways to work with uncertainty,
thereby relieving any depression and mental disturbance which this planet
can bring. Then psychic awareness will become a source of depth and
strength. The prerequisites are the trained capacity for mental focus and
a grounded connection to the material world. Definition in the physical
realm balances the lack of definition coming from Neptune
combinations.
Through sheer force of will you seek a mission in life and to
fulfill it. No longer simply thoughts, the mission becomes a guiding force
for transformation. As ego-consciousness is focused on life's mission,
personal power is mobilized to attain success, to organize your life, and
to express personal authority. Any misuse or misdirection of personal
power can lead to disaster. Power out of control is like a race car
without a conscious driver, dangerous in the extreme. Stories about the
Sorcerer's apprentice address the fact that power without the knowledge of
how to control it can lead to ruin.
You must train your mind and open your
consciousness to broader vistas. Then power of will comes to be based on
informed ego-consciousness. Astrology can help you to become more aware of
desirable changes in career. It can also offer insight into any feelings
of unrest or anxiety associated with career. The following provides
information about the recent past career influences and then discusses
current conditions and future trends.
Recent Influences
Your idealism is
at a high now, and you tend to speculate a bit. There may be gains without
much apparent effort. You may find that you are particularly inspired in
your work, especially where planning is concerned. Optimism. This is a
time when you are able to achieve goals you have been working toward. The
stage is set now and fruition may come over a period of time. Personal
growth and professional status both benefit. At the same time you may
experience a period of good health. You are aware of your purpose and you
are able to pursue it, thus achieving contentment. Emerging unconscious
material, which can be intense and vivid.
There is little doubt that
something momentous is occurring; the only doubt is whether the ego can
manage the energy effectively. The older you are, the better you seem to
be able to manage because you have had several similar expriences, and
therefore can draw on similar experiences. Expect action and change at
this time in your career and perhaps in other areas as well.
Current and Future Trends for the Coming Year
Disappointment from someone you have trusted is a possibility at this
time. You are getting messages from the subconscious, and they are
disturbing and not very helpful.
Your Best Work Environment
Where the work environment and the securing of employment are concerned,
astrology offers many useful insights. It also deals with the actual work
that is undertaken. It can reveal how you react to work, to your work
associates and to the work environment itself. Regardless of the actual
title you hold, the place where you do the work and the people around you
make a tremendous difference in the attitudes you develop in the work
place. You can learn effective tools for obtaining the job as well.
The
best work environments for you include swamps, bleak places, drains,
dumps, sewage treatment, drains, low wet ground, bathrooms and cleaning
closets, medicine cabinets, toilets, northeast rooms or walls, mortuaries,
or cemeteries.
Geographic locations which may be suited to your work
include Algeria, Baltimore, Bavaria, Cleveland, East Indies, Korea,
Manchuria, Milwaukee, Montana, Nevada, New Orleans, North Carolina, North
Dakota, Oklahoma, Philippines, south Dakota, Tokyo, or Washington, D.C.
You may work in more than one type of environment or change jobs in order
to move to a work environment described as follows: The best work
environments for you include dignified offices, churches, courts, banks,
large institutions, universities, high ground, estates, large sites,
upstairs rooms, place to store ammunition, southeast rooms or
walls.
Geographic locations which may be suited to your work include
Alabama, Arabia, Australia, Bolivia, Chile, Czechoslovakia, Delaware,
Hungary, Illinois, Madagascar, Mississippi, New Jersey, Ohio, Pakistan,
Singapore, Spain, Toledo, Toronto, or Yugoslavia.
The types of people you
work with most successfully may not be the sort of people you would choose
for friends or romantic partners. Understanding how to identify compatible
co-workers can have a direct effect on career success or failure. There is
one area of your life that may be closely involved in your work. It shows
where your actual work energy will be concentrated, as well as what
outside factors can affect your work performance. Your work depends to a
certain extent on these factors that would otherwise be outside the work
environment. Your work benefits from discriminating awareness of new
situations and people. You don't have to be overly critical - it is better
to encourage an attentive attitude than to stimulate arguments. You
generally enjoy intellectual interchange with co-workers. Thus work
relationships add to your own versatility and enhance your adaptability to
the work situation.
Other Factors Affecting Your Choice of Work Environment
As you develop a sense of how significant your work environment is to your
life in general, and also what factors affect your work performance, you
regain the power to select suitable work. You have a cruel streak which
must be tempered by other factors. You have the potential to grow in
spiritual awareness if you can avoid purely egoistic aims. At certain
times in your life changes in the work environment affect your career. You
may change how you feel about your work and your coworkers. During some
periods it is more difficult to be hired, or even to find a suitable place
to work, while at other times changes within the work environment are easy
to achieve.
Recent Experiences at Work
You find yourself in a leadership position at this time.
Your Financial Considerations
Of the three vocational considerations, money is usually the most personal
and private. Yet at the end of your life, all you have to take with you is
your self worth. All the money, all the material possessions, all the
opinions of other people will make no difference at all. What you think of
yourself is all you will have. Thus other considerations such as moral
growth, personal debts other than those involving money, and self-esteem
are tremendously important human issues. The question this chapter
revolves around is this: How do you maximize your potential, fulfill your
higher mission, satisfy your daemon, obtain the money you need to live,
enjoy your life, enhance your moral growth, all within the confines of the
natural talents you possess, in such a way that at the end of your life,
you are satisfied - personally satisfied - that you did well? You can be
tight-fisted with your money or you can be cautious, but it is important
to understand how the difference plays out in your financial management
scheme. You can appear timid with spending, and yet you are self-indulgent
sometimes, causing your finances to have significant ups and downs. You
are usually prudent where money is concerned, and your intuition tells you
what is around the corner, giving you an edge. Material matters prosper
when you purchase a few items for dramatic effect, while keeping the
background elegantly plain. You will find that less stuff truly is more
relaxing and rewarding.
Where does your money actually come from?
You have a strong need for affection, even love, from others, and
therefore may demonstrate an obliging style. Still, when the chips are
down, you have the strength of a general and are able to make the key
decisions and stick to them. You would, however, prefer to have a
dependable partner who takes that role. Your nurturing capacities are
right at home.
Your emotional state is closely connected to your digestive
system, indicating a need for attention to both to ensure health and
happiness.
You learn through connection with a profound inner source of
ideas and beliefs. Your conscious connection to financial concerns is
strong. You are interested in money and finances and these areas may
directly impact your self-esteem. You take a practical, common sense
approach to cyclical changes in your life. You can use this approach in
business situations by maintaining a sense of your objectives. If you
experience a lack of clarity in the midst of changes, you can balance
nervousness with physical activity.
You seek the ideal in all your
relationships and are sometimes surprised to find that great beauty comes
with its apparent lack of inner substance. Blessed with good health and
generally destined for success, you experience challenges which focus your
attention on the development of healthy attitudes and good nutritional
habits.
The constructive qualities of firmness, modesty and determination
can be derailed by internal turmoil relating to delicate health and
pessimistic thoughts. Sudden changes bring new circumstances into your
life. You have a progressive mind which can manage such changes. It is
possible to align your thinking to minimize upsets connected with new
conditions.
Thinking and feeling are aligned for you. You are able to
assimilate information and to put it back out; thus you are a good
student. You can use your mental capabilities to promote healing. Your
heightened powers of intuition give you greater flexibility in all kinds
of situations. Because you know or feel how conditions will change, you
are able to maximize the benefits of cyclical movement.
You are challenged
to maintain structure when your psychic energy is pulling you off balance.
Deceptive currents in your life can also help you develop qualities of
compassionate foresight. Your mind's eye has a camera which is animated by
opportunities. You will have amazing successes which come out of these
personal "movies".
You tend to exaggerate things and to strain your
nervous system. You fall in and out of love easily. In fact you enjoy the
beginning and ending of relationships because of the excitement. Your
actions sometimes appear eccentric to others. Fortunate turns in your life
are the stuff of legends. Occasionally you miss the opportunity, but
generally you seek independence and adventure and find them.
Inhibited
rhythms affect your physical body and your social existence. you are able
to overcome difficulties. You are self-willed and gain or suffer because
of this. You have specific patterns involving money and material things,.
You also have a personal moral direction and path toward development of a
healthy self-image.
There is another area of life, not necessarily
associated with work, that indicates how you actually get your money. It
can also reveal who or what has the most direct effect on your
self-esteem. Thirdly, it can indicate how you tend to spend your income.
Home-related products and services can provide income. You may find that
as you cultivate your basic belief system, you find rich resources for
material support as well. You see money as the avenue to harmony, and you
are creative in its use. You may occasionally succumb to extravagant
temptations and probably own one or more art objects.
Astrology can
indicate the importance of income in general, and how material matters
affect your self-esteem. Changes in financial matters, as well as movement
toward greater or lesser self esteem, indicate how career efforts are
paying off materially and emotionally. The following are indications of
recent changes in the area of personal resources, followed by current
conditions and future trends in this area.
Recent Experiences
You may find that you are particularly inspired in your work, especially
where planning is concerned. Awareness of your own leadership qualities
provides you with the fuel for a career move that leads to a stronger
position. You are in a period of awareness of your ability to make
sweeping changes in your work, and your creative energy is at a high. Now
is a good time to make changes that will put you in contact with other
people of like mind. But don't go overboard with changes that are not
needed. You have to work very hard to make any forward progress just now.
Keep at it. Your private efforts will gain ground slowly but steadily.
Future Considerations
You may find yourself involved in some mystical, fantasy experience that
changes your awareness of career or work issues. You are inclined to be
impulsive at this time. Where work is concerned it is best to rely on
consensus just now. You can make huge strides just now, but perhaps
through radical changes. Advancement is nearly certain. You want to burst
out of any confinement you feel in the work area just now. Your thinking
may be a bit one-sided. You may suddenly feel shy about discussing your
ideas and desires with others, preferring to keep them to yourself for a
while. You are getting messages from the subconscious, and they are
disturbing and not very helpful.
Career or Mission?
Now that we have examined the vocational possibilities from the geocentric
perspective, it is time to consider your higher spiritual mission. Mission
is driven by the spirit or inner psychic voice of the individual. Let's
take a look at the spiritual potential that reflects the urgings of that
voice. Seeing the universe from this perspective gives you a sense of your
larger purpose. Then you can look back at the above information to
discover the practical means to fulfill your higher purpose.
This section
of the report considers several factors that make up your spiritual
perspective. Some may be more familiar to you than others, and certainly
some will have more impact on your vocation. The search for equilibrium in
your life reaches beyond the limits of this plane of manifestation,
seeking to integrate the experiences of body, mind and spirit into one
profound experience of unfolded consciousness. This level of integration
occurs when the soul and the personality are brought into alignment
through accident or through ritual experience. Thus ritual is a valuable
path for you as you develop a sense of equilibrium.
You can develop a
fuller sense of the value of ritual throughthe unfolding of spiritual
consciousness. Mature self-consciousness includes awareness of these two
appearances and how they interweave to produce what we call life. In your
daily activities you may seldom think of this profound reality of
existence; as you grow in conscience you develop an affinity for
sensitizing yourself to your higher mission.You can be energetic, even
aggressive at times. At other times your energy is directed into
thoughtful devotional activities, quieter but no less energetic. Your
path to transformation of difficulty into harmony - the most direct way to
actively engage will to guide your personal power - is to integrate power
and will to act as a human being. You have the choice of how you implement
your will.
Both Mars and Pluto tend to express through the nurturing
capability of the material world which creates a physical form in which
our personality and soul can develop on the path to higher spiritual
realization. You have deep experiences which reveal the light to you. You
have the capability of unified understanding of the feminine principle in
all its expressions, embodying it in the mental, emotional and physical
manifestations. Outer attention to detail reveals your inner understanding
of unity.
Psychic awareness can be focused to identify the source of
conflict and the ground upon which conflict may be resolved. Your higher
vision is based on your examination of the essential duality of physical
manifestation. One side of duality is the desire or passionate nature; the
other side is the innate quality of compassion which comes from another
level of experience. The awareness of essential duality is joined with the
activity of the mediator to resolve into Unity. You develop your capacity
for compassion throughfierce testing. The planetary energies are subjected
to physical, mental and spiritual demands which leave you changed forever.
While duality is part of all experience, there is a struggle that tests
even the nature of opposites. This spiritual battle challenges you to rise
above merely material considerations.
The path toward fusion of heart and
mind, the subjective purpose for manifestation, is perhaps the most
central experience of wisdom that you will ever have. Your life's
processes are defined, and the expansive process of your mind and spirit
relishes the richness to be found throughthe process of linking form and
soul. Without this step the soul would not attach to the body and life
independent from the mother would not be possible. This deep mystery
occurs metaphorically while the Sun is sinking to its lowest point of the
year, suggesting that the mysteries of life dwell in the dark recesses of
consciousness.
We all accumulate debts and responsibilities on the path
toward resolution of difficulties. It is through the exercise of
intelligent activity - that is, the use of what we know and how we employ
that knowledge - that we even begin to approach the freedom we seek from
such indebtedness. You seek intelligent activity in all areas of your life
throughthe material plane. The most complete understanding of the laws of
Karma and dharma are embodied in planets here. You experience your work
and its conclusion in connection with new beginnings as well, moving into
a new cycle each time you complete the old one. Intellect becomes a
principle factor, as you utilize concrete knowledge in your pursuit of
intelligent activity.
Mediation occurs not only in conflict resolution
between or among people; it is an internal psychic function as well.
Concrete knowledge does not stop at the scientific definitions of things,
nor is it limited to the scientific approach to understanding the
relationships between people and things. It also includes a felt sense, an
inner awareness of the right relationships between things. You can employ
concrete knowledge in the mediation between personality and soul, between
physical life and higher consciousness. Only through fusion of these
apparently separate facets of your being can you approach true
knowledge.
Both Mercury and Venus tend to express through the same sign as
the sign of the Earth, which is the direction intelligent activity is most
likely to move and will be described in a later paragraph. There is a
particular direction in which your intelligent activity will most likely
move. It is obviously where you position yourself and represents your
strongest capacities as a human being. You will display intelligent
activity in and your lifes' mission through melding love and wisdom into a
working unity. Your sight is always set on the masses and not the
individual, your goals and work tend to be global, in thought and in
action. Ritual provides an avenue for working with others. By honoring the
human connection to form, you are able to help people move forward. It is
through the use of ritual that you are able to resolve difficulties
between people, as ritual affords the possibility of acknowledging
conflict while encouraging movement toward solution.
Conclusion
The above considerations can be woven together to present an integrated
view of your career potential at this time. They indicate the talents and
capacities you were born with, and they also suggest directions to go at
the present time. As such they provide assistance in making career
decisions and can be helpful in considering a wide range of possibilities.
Naturally you have the final decision about what changes will be
beneficial in this area of your life. Now that you have read your
vocational report, you hopefully have a clearer sense of how circumstances
have brought you to your present career position. You may also see ways to
apply your natural capabilities, education and training to the goal of a
more fulfilling vocation. Finally, you can consider ways to find a job and
co-workers that enrich your work and help you come closer to fulfilling
your life's mission.
