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.

Cooperation is the key element to your best career expression. This means that you cooperate when it suits your position, and you facilitate cooperation among others when you are the leader. You don't have to be the leader, but you do thrive where strong team effort exists. You reserve the possibility of exerting extreme force if it should become necessary. You may even prepare yourself through the study of a martial art or other practice for the unexpected eventuality. What you realize more than most people is that all the training and preparation is designed to prevent the very outcome for which you train. Thus extreme measures are seldom needed.  You like to use the latest in technology and methods in your work. For you to have the edge necessary for transmutation of the present into the best possible future, you need adequate tools, it's that simple. You are not afraid to create your own precedent. You can be quite clever in your manipulation of materials or people. Your deep understanding of group dynamics comes from your psychic sensitivity to currents around you. The outcome is best when you do not force your ultimate desire on others, but rather seek to inspire them to move in the desired direction with all possible grace and speed.

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.

 

 

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 creativity grows from a place of serenity where you can see the goal and the path as part of a seamless unity. Because you do not approach life piecemeal, career considerations must be part of the seamlessness or you will not be happy. You thrive in situations where you are participating in the larger vision of the future and not isolated to contend with the details. Your intuition is a vital part of the creative process. Your greatest pleasure comes in situations where you can demonstrate the compassionate side of your nature creatively.

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:

Creativity revolves around the moment of inspiration. Like a small child, you thrill to the moment of discovery, the inception of a new plan, the desire to forge ahead, and passion for all that is new. Your creative process may not be evident to others at first, but there is action nonetheless. Like a brooding hen, you warm and protect your initial ideas with the assurance that they will produce a worthwhile product. It is this initial stage of creation that most pleases you, and you like to be the idea person. You need the silent moment for the idea to take root because dissipation of the energy too soon can prevent real progress.

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 a philosophical attitude to your work and you are able to adapt to rather different circumstances. You thrive in situations that require an open-minded look at the facts.

It also helps to be aware of how you can use your creativity to the best advantage.

You require a comfortable setting in which to work if your creativity is to be maximized. However, what is comfortable for you may include unusual settings where you must roll up the shirtsleeves and dig into the work.

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 have great creative potential. You are able to express creatively because of your understanding of harmony and your ability to refine an idea into a beautiful result. You inspire love in others because of a warm heart and charming, magnetic personality. Clothing manufacturers, art dealers, artists, composers, cosmeticians, anyone whose work involves elegance and beauty will appeal to your creative side. Women may be more likely to get your juices flowing. You could provide services for florists, musicians, or even be a bridal consultant. The idea is that you need a sense of the artistic to pervade your work if your creativity is to develop fully.  The justice system, particularly judges and juries, could be part of your creative scene.

 You enjoy movement and excitement and the intensity of interpersonal relationships. Physical attraction may be one of your qualities, but acting on those urges is not very helpful in the work place. Your spontaneity and creative power make art forms such as drawing or painting natural to you. The entertainment industry is attractive.

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.

Your inner sense of beauty can become a source of tension when you find yourself in excessively indulgent situations. When you are attracted to another individual, use your own physical and mental tension to attract them.  You advance in life through your own effort; yet your awareness of others makes advancement easy.  Blessed with good health and generally destined for success, you will gain recognition because you are aware of the importance of avoiding arrogance and extravagance in relationships.  Strong inner tensions allow you to utilize individuality in your quest for power. You will experience remarkable advancement, as well as dramatic health changes, both for the better and for the worse. You dislike the limitations of working for others, preferring to be the one in charge.

The typical results of your creative forays have the following characteristics:

You have a sense of design and grace which you apply to life's offerings. You tend toward a light-hearted existence which belies the growth which emerges from choices you make.  You experience passion in relationships internally and need to express it if you want your partner to be aware of it. Stress causes fluctuating feelings or a lack of tact.  If you become lazy in relationships, conflict can arise. You have a strong sense of the form you want any relationship to take, and you must be an active participant.  You would prefer to live in a world of illusion and can make this your life work. You idealize love relationships. You become known for your good taste.  Awareness of power is essential in your relationships. Don't be too forceful yourself, but also remember power is a thing to be shared.

You are often aware of subconscious feelings and thoughts which are not evident to others. This comes through in your awareness of shifting cycles. Often you choose to be alone, rather than deal with misunderstandings.  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.

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

You find yourself involved in some romantic adventure. There is strong tension and you feel strange urges.

Current and Future Trends for the Coming Year

You are aware of the strange ideas that others are bringing to you at this time. Think about them, and reserve your decision until a later 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.

You experience the impulse to be, and you require no noticeable substance to enjoy the inspiration.  First you identify the descent of spiritual energy into the creative part of your mind.  New potentialities emerge.  Second, you become involved with the creative force of authority that emerges directly from your thoughts.  Later you will have the inner authority to merge thought and action as you move toward creative expression.  The creative healing force of heat is the third aspect of the impulse to be.  And finally there is the creative ability to look into the future and to pursue your individual purpose.  A key word for your experience is TO AROUSE. You may incorporate some of the following personality traits in your career activities: spiritedness, self-confidence, ability to enjoy life, enthusiasm, a tendency to burn yourself out, self-centeredness, restlessness, unrestrained desires, strong intuition, optimism and inspiration. At best, you demonstrate traits of self-motivation, dedication, courage and energy.

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 tend to be excitable, impulsive and emotional, with an apparent lack of logical thought patterns. You can be unpredictable at times. This combination is good for work that involves convincing others, such as entertainment or sales. Your pressure cooker energy can explode from time to time.

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 are also 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 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 Pisces, you are primarily the Feeling type.

If the sensation types say, "Just the facts, maam," the feeling types say, "and how does it feel when that happens?" Feeling types evaluate situations on the basis of sentiment and may disregard logical processes as ineffective with others and unsatisfying to themselves. They can think logically, but may choose not to unless pressed by circumstances.

You are not an emotional disaster area. Rather you are prone to making judgments about things, as in "I feel that is the best way to go." In order to maintain the capacity for fair judgment, it is important to remove or reduce any psychological pollution in the work place caused by unkind, unsympathetic gossip, threatening behavior on the part of co-workers, or idle complaining that is not backed by constructive suggestions.

You can do well in careers that call for sensitivity in relating to other people. You have the ability to bridge the gap between people, and therefore make good counselors, sales people, heads of families, members of the clergy - any job where interpersonal relationships are at the core of productive work.

You have a psychic connection to the people and things around you. Often you can "get the point" before other people even state it. You can over-react, but generally return to an acceptable level quickly.

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 Leo, your secondary function is 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.

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 reserved, somewhat emotional basis. You tend to judge situations well, but may be less than tactful in stating your opinions. You are able to go with the flow if it is not too far from your own opinion of the proper direction.

Your naturally impulsive nature may have led you to rash action more than once, usually not a helpful tendency where career is concerned. At the same time you have intuitive abilities and creative talents that guide your impulses, so that what at first seems ill-advised often turns out well. You like change.

Your personality naturally tends to exhibit a readiness to make decisions in the clinches and an industrious approach to your work. There is an angry streak that can cause problems from time to time if it gets out of control, but you usually manage it well. This is due to the reserve you demonstrate in the work environment.

The qualities you most easily recognize in yourself are your high goals, coupled with the staying power to achieve them. You have self-confidence that fuels your desire to acquire highly placed friends and even your acquaintances are considered to be friends. You have the capacity for generosity and the organizational skills to make a good leader. You may be hypersensitive to humor when it is aimed in your direction. When pushed, you tend to withdraw from the discussion, to emerge later and claim the winning argument as though it was yours all along. You recognize the value of courage.

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 developing an inspired sense of purpose. Your self-confidence will grow during this period and you will experience an increased enthusiasm for your work.

For the next few months, you will be able to hold on to your gains better. You appreciate the finer things that stable work can provide. You gain a more practical outlook during this period, and those skills can be carried forward into the future.

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 a more critical attitude which can be either petty or supportive. You know the importance of neatness and you always know where your "stuff" is. You may desire the security of a permanent position. You take a simple approach to personal advancement and cut to the heart of any problem. You resist letting go of details that have served their purpose and you need to clear out old material from time to time. You can bring your self-awareness to the bargaining table and make a good mediator because you are honest.

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.

You have a balanced view of the world, sometimes considering your internal values and sometimes responding to events and people outside yourself. You have moments when you are at one extreme or the other, but for the most part you are near the gyroscopic center, neither deeply introverted nor very extraverted. You experience life more like the gentle waves on a lakeshore - there is movement, but no tidal wave and not much undertow either. Consciousness, for you, incorporates self and other in a blend of considerations.

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.

Your role in the world focuses on how you exercise authority and earn respect. As a general rule you are comfortable in non-intimate situations with friends and groups and you are able to set objectives for yourself and others. There may be profound interest in your inner, private life as well. You are interested in the working of your sub-conscious mind, and value time spent alone. You are able to work in seclusion.

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.

The focus is on another time. Attention to the future is a function of good judgment, as you don't jump into things without an idea of what is coming. This is a very convenient trait in the work place. You sometimes seem psychic to others, as you get unexpected results from the careful mental process of the intuitive type. You gain insight suddenly - from the gestalt and not from the details. This is not through inattention to detail, but rather from the ability to step back mentally and see the overall picture. This is a valuable skill for a supervisor or planner. You sometimes are unable to explain your reasons - you simply "KNOW." This sort of statement does not sit well with the logical rational minds of the so-called norm, any more than the super-fast mentality does. There are therefore some limitations where work is concerned.

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.

 

 

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 overly critical nature. You are hard enough on yourself. You don't need a boss who magnifies your mistakes and seems incapable of seeing your strengths. Because of your desire to be understood by others, you do best in a job where you have the freedom to communicate clearly, and the responsibility to do so. Your capacity for detail makes a good work focus. You have the ability to concentrate on your meticulous accuracy and thoroughness to see you through the long haul. Keep this in mind in every area of endeavor, not just vocation. You  learn through discriminating examination of details.

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 asset you need to develop for career success is restraint - the ability to moderate your talents, skills, desires and arrogance. You can start just about anywhere and rise quickly. Executive positions are good from the get go. You will need to take stock from time to time and consolidate your position before you make any big moves. Your natural understanding of the way things work leads you to withdraw or retire while you are at the height of your power.

Current Direction

You now have the personal opportunity to produce new ideas. There has been a gestation period that is now ready for the birthing process. Look for situations that contain promise and pursue them, as they will not pursue you.

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.

This is a time to focus on your education. We can always learn new things, but now you have the possibility to slug through a difficult learning period to gain a deeper understanding of your work and how it fits into your larger mission in life. As you focus on your connections to the world around you, you will also define the part of yourself that you wish to present to that world.

Your instinctive responses are fully available at this time. You establish your security by focusing your emotions so they do not carry you away. You may be emotionally sensitive during this time, but learning to control your responses is the key to establishing personal boundaries and choosing the focus of your mission.

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.

In the beginning you tend to over-estimate your talents and skills.  You can be single-minded in pursuit of your objectives, even though they are not well conceived. Egotism can be a problem. However, you turn these seeming limitations into strengths as you pursue the development of your career. Ambition is a trait that carries you to career heights. You have the will to achieve success, and the self-confidence to keep you going. Throughout you have a sense of reality that serves you in the work environment.

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.

 

 

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.

Leadership is a word designed for your career. From childhood you wanted to be in charge of things. Not a person who enjoys being the target of anyone's humor, you want the spotlight to show off only the best, most socially attractive side of your personality. You need to move up from the bottom rung of the employment ladder at the earliest possible moment in order to find that spotlight. Career fields suited to you include brokers, cartoonists, chairmen, directors, entertainers, film stars, foremen, foresters, gamblers, goldsmiths, government officials, investment bankers, managers, money lenders, motion picture producers, organizers, politicians, prime ministers, royalty, speculators, dealers and manufacturers of sporting goods, theater manager/owner and watch makers.

You may find that at some point you undertake a second, rather different career that has the following characteristics:

You seek a secure livelihood, and therefore make a loyal employee who wants nothing more than a permanent position and the opportunity to advance without flamboyance. An orderly attitude makes you ideal for positions requiring a careful approach to the details of the job. In leadership positions be careful to avoid petty criticism, as there is a tendency toward hypersensitivity. Career fields suited to you include administrators, animal trainer, armed forces, cheese makers, chemists, civil servants, craftsmen, critics, crop growers, dental hygienists and technicians, dietitians, doctors, domestic servants, draftsmen, editors, food purveyors, governesses, healers, illustrators, inspectors, masseurs, mathematicians, merchants, nerve specialists, nursing, office workers, poultry raisers, relief workers, secretaries, statisticians, stenographers, textile workers, teachers, veterinarians and workmen in general.

Additional factors that influence career direction and abilities you can apply in the job world include the following:

You take pride in your energetic approach to work and you anticipate certain rewards. You have a sense of reality, however, that can surprise others. Your energy is directed toward success, always considering reputation, independence and achievement. Your career and public life rarely reflect any laziness, but you can over-estimate your capabilities.

Abilities that help your career include one's working ability, assertiveness, bravery, mechanical ability, participation, stamina, ferocity and haste.

Your career may also involve adrenaline, defense, gymnastics, kilns, metallurgy, rock music, performance and the steel industry.

Your knees, and your joints in general, are supported by and support your philosophical outlook. Joints require a certain flexibility; so does the higher mind. Remember that the knees allow forward progress; they also allow us to humble ourselves before the greater mind of the universe. In career, as in other areas of life, both capacities have their place.

Abilities that help your career include politeness, reverence, serenity, mirth, piety, spontaneity, honesty, trust worthiness and achievement.

Your career may also involve textbooks, brokers, counselors, horses, travel, lending, passports, rehabilitation, religious orders and shoes.

You take life and work very seriously. The structure of your mind is reflected in the way you structure your career activities. Like the mountain goat, you tend to make slow but consistent progress through life. If you become too one-sided in your thinking, use your intellect to consider alternative positions.

Abilities that help your career include diligence, patience, persistence, desire for solitude and the ability to see the basics.

Your career may also involve begging, bones, boots, cattle, shoes, chiropractic, locksmith, plain things, prisons, real estate and archeology.

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.

You experience close ties between your career and your family. Your deepest held beliefs must be supported by the work you do, or you will not be satisfied.

Your sensitivity allows you to absorb information and knowledge and is therefore a boon to your career, as long as you maintain a compassionate attitude. You learn to be more responsive and less indulgent.

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.  You find yourself acting without self-examination, and this is not always the best plan. You work best in situations where considerable training is involved, so that your actions become second nature.  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 are susceptible to rigid ideas about the world. There will be far less movement with this combination, as it is less about awareness of change and more about the limitations we find in the physical environment. There is a focus on the structure of your own personality rather than on things outside the self. Because you may not have a strong sense of the structure of social systems, there is a tendency to be self-critical, sometimes leading to an actual loss of ego-consciousness. Ego-consciousness is not placed within the framework of the world, and thus has no solid ground on which to develop. The result is a difficulty in career and relationships which can only be overcome through steadfast adherence to your goals. The need for sufficient practice in thinking is apparent; clear thought processes will negate any tendency toward depression. You feel an emphasis on the suddenness and change in your life as well as rhythm, independence and even rebellion. You are usually in a state of being ready to take action, coupled with a strong intuitive sense of what direction to take with your life. Controlled by a well-trained mind, intuition can indeed provide equilibrium in your life, as you can foresee conditions and events clearly. When you are out of control, emotional imbalances result and change runs your life, instead of the other way around. The more out of balance you seem, the more your ego-consciousness is ignoring some significant portion of the psyche and its messages. 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.

Fortunate decisions mark the major turning points of your life. You have the ability to concentrate on a particular goal and thus will have successful results professionally.  You sometimes appear to have superhuman power. You also solve problems by applying excessive amounts of force. Control cruel urges and you will get further.  You have a pervasive desire for power; this desire focuses, for the most part, on the spiritual or mental sphere. However, you can attain leadership positions. It is not possible for you to lose everything.  Your mission in life may center on the development of self-control. Depression caused by your inner thought processes can be a signal to spend time with others, even though you feel like isolating yourself.  You are logical and thorough in your work and in your personal life. Slow steady advancement in life is related to your skills of concentration and industry. You take the world seriously.  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.

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.

Current and Future Trends for the Coming Year

Disharmony and dissatisfaction around you provide challenges to your management capabilities. You are feeling internal pressures as well. You provide your own challenges at this time. Listen to your inner voice and consider its message carefully.

You may become aware of personal responsibilities and the authority you demonstrate to others. During this period you should take extra care in all your activities involving machinery, sharp things, and speech. You may miss the best opportunities just now because you are not focused or because you choose to argue about a philosophical point.

 

 

 

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 virgin territories, hilly ground, burned or burning areas, furnaces, ovens, rooms where cutting is done (such as surgeries or butcher shops), kennels, ceilings, the east wall in a room, or the east room in a building. Geographic locations which may be suited to your work include Denmark, England, Germany, Iceland, Israel,, Japan, Lithuania, New York City, New Zealand, Peru, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Syria, or Wales.

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 entertainment businesses, restaurants, public gardens, bedrooms, dressing rooms, cultivated land, lawns, trees, dim rooms, low ceilings, dark closets, basements, tiled floors, southeast walls and rooms. Geographic locations which may be suited to your work include Asia Minor, Australia, Cyprus, Florida, Holland, Ireland, Labrador, Louisiana, Maryland, Minnesota, New Guinea, Newfoundland, Persia, Poland, St. Louis, or South America.

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 have the direct connections you need in order to make career progress. You take a somewhat sober approach to your work.

Your work environment is determined by your career and you may not have much choice over how it looks or who is in it. For example, if you practice law, you will of necessity be in the courts from time to time. If you work in food service, the atmosphere will be of the nature of cafeterias or restaurants. You may find the notable exceptions, such as catering private parties, which avoid the typical work environment of your chosen career.

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.

Adapt to your surroundings by engaging in active investigation.  You experience irritability or a lack of satisfaction in passionate relationships when you refuse to adapt to your partner. Feelings fluctuate between desire and aloofness.  A tendency to rebel against rules will bring situations which demand that you change your tune. Flexibility is required to resolve disputes. You will benefit from the study of conflict resolution.  Sooner or later, applying excessive amounts of force leads to situations in which you must adapt or be crushed. Control cruel urges and you will get further.

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.

Trends in the Near Future

The sheer force of your will power can propel you into changes that are hasty or ill-advised. Now is a time to avoid quarrels. If you fail now, it is because you are pushing yourself and others way too hard. Avoid arguments. You bull your way through situations, but you end up exhausted from the effort. Will power is not the best approach just now.

During this period you should take extra care in all your activities involving machinery, sharp things, and speech.

 

 

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 gullible where money is concerned. When people appeal to your indulgent side, they can take you for a financial ride you will not soon forget. Your material well-being, and your self-esteem too, are best served by a cheerful earning style, coupled with a philosophical view of the value of money. You can earn money through athletics or an adjunct business. Study of the history of economics and money can give you the theoretical base you need to offset any lack of restraint. Be magnanimous, not frivolous, and finances will thrive.

Where does your money actually come from?

You have an orderly set of moral and ethical values, principles you have considered deeply and worked into a harmonious set of ideals. Thus you are not easily drawn into illegal activities. You work well in team efforts and organize projects well. You can figure things out and like to learn new skills. Sometimes you are a bit superficial in your evaluation of others, not looking beyond petty criticism to find the underlying values they bring to the table.

Your knees, and your joints in general, are supported by and support your philosophical outlook. Joints require a certain flexibility; so does the higher mind. Remember that the knees allow forward progress; they also allow us to humble ourselves before the greater mind of the universe. In career, as in other areas of life, both capacities have their place.

Abilities that help your career include politeness, reverence, serenity, mirth, piety, spontaneity, honesty, trust worthiness and achievement.

Your career may also involve textbooks, brokers, counselors, horses, travel, lending, passports, rehabilitation, religious orders and shoes.

Fortunate decisions mark the major turning points of your life. You have the ability to concentrate on a particular goal and thus will have successful results professionally.

You are often aware of subconscious feelings and thoughts which are not evident to others. This comes through in your awareness of shifting cycles. Often you choose to be alone, rather than deal with misunderstandings.  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 would prefer to live in a world of illusion and can make this your life work. You idealize love relationships. You become known for your good taste.  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.

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.

Your career is the source of almost all of your income. Thus it is important to identify a career that promises adequate financial rewards, and then pursue that path with zeal.

You may choose a career that deals with personal finances or self-esteem issues. Counseling people in either area would be a natural career for you. There may be others pursuing the same career who have an impact on your personal finances, and it is a good idea to be careful about financial dealings that involve career associates.

Economy is your watchword. As long as you are not overly attached to specific things, you are able to manipulate your financial environment quite successfully. You will want to analyze a situation before you make a financial commitment.

Astrology can indicate the importance of income in general, and how material matters affect your self-esteem.

Fortunate decisions mark the major turning points of your life. You have the ability to concentrate on a particular goal and thus will have successful results professionally.

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.

Future Considerations

Your business abilities are enhanced at this time by social meetings. You can engage in idealistic discussions now. You are in a period of change, with many career and business offers to consider.

You may miss the best opportunities just now because you are not focused or because you choose to argue about a philosophical point.

 

 

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.

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. You tend to seek concrete knowledge through an instinctual relationship to life. Physical human instinct includes a desire and need to nurture the body/mind. At the same time there is a profound instinctual drive to discover meaning, so much so that at some point life without meaning becomes intolerable. Just as physical life is breathed into us, so is the life of the spirit instilled within us. "The light of substance ... is ... awaiting the stimulation coming from the soul light."

Mediation occurs not only in conflict resolution between or among people; it is an internal psychic function as well. Your principal path of approach to paradoxical problems of all kinds is through the 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.  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.  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. Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn 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.

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. The power of the universe acts for and with you through the testing of opposites. Energies are weighed and balanced here, and understanding begins to form about the profitable uses of polarity. Harmony is not only expressed through balance and symmetry, but through intentional asymmetry as well. Knowing how to work with this concept allows you to achieve new levels of energy.

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 through fierce 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.

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 through the 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.

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 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.

 

 

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.
