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 are not especially suited to hard physical work, but rather to social situations where grace and manners are necessary. You could be comfortable in the entertainment industry because you have the knack of fitting in while at the same time accomplishing your desired goals. You will be involved with products and services that enhance people's lives and are pleasing, rather than products which constitute necessities. Thus you are not the Levi's type, unless you design new styles. Rather you design and make clothing or accessories that dress up your clientele. This talent, of course, is not limited to clothing, but can include jewelry, interior design, etc. You may find a niche in the arts. You know what is inspirational and can either produce it, sell it, or create a mood with it. Somewhat conservative yourself, you can speak to that quality in your clients and work associates. You appreciate the material benefits you find in your career. You also have a concrete sense of how to inspire this quality for others. You are able to identify and enhance the industrious skills of others, and therefore would be a good manager or supervisor. Endurance may be a factor in your career as well. You are able to make a sustained, economical effort in your work, and expect that of your co-workers.

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.

You have the will to create and the stamina to see a process through to completion. You are self-reliant. Your urge for offspring can focus on children, or it can be directed toward some other manifestation in the material world. You thrive on the process of bringing ideas to fulfillment, on the heat of production, if you will. You want assurance that your works will survive you in some way. Your creative heat is like the oven that bakes the bread or hardens the pottery. You recognize that creativity takes a certain amount of time and cannot be rushed. You take the greatest pleasure from the pregnant process of development, whatever the line of work you pursue.

 

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:

Your creative strength lies in the ability to analyze situations and see beyond the obvious. You are able to accumulate data from sources that others may overlook, digging deep into the meat of a problem. You are the ultimate systems analyst, whatever the system may be. You can test the end product, finding pleasure in discovering its best qualities as well as its correctable faults. Others may have had the idea to produce diamonds from coal; you are the one who can see and measure the results in detail, thriving on the final process of refinement into true gems.

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 decided dramatic touch to your work, and this keeps you interested and interesting. Often your impressions of situations are right on the mark, so don't discount them. You can add an artistic touch to the final product.

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

You can be quite happy working at home amid familiar surroundings. Some of your best ideas appear while you have your feet up relaxing in your own easy chair. Your creativity may seem like it came from your parents' generation - it's that solid.

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 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. Striving for power is the strongest factor in relationships. You will experience remarkable advancements and decline throughout your life, based on how you exercise control over yourself and others. You test the positive and negative qualities of leadership.The typical results of your creative forays have the following characteristics:

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. Popularity is yours, but it can have its drawbacks. Too much popularity can bring the disadvantage of over-indulgence or conflict of interests. You fall in and out of love easily. In fact you cast yourself as a principal player in love dramas. Your actions sometimes appear eccentric to others. You face adjustment because of your susceptibility to seduction. Each time this happens you learn to trust your psychic senses more completely, until you feel the adjustment coming before you get into the situation, instead of after you have been hurt.

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.

Current and Future Trends for the Coming Year

You are intense about work right now and nervous strain can detract from your usual common sense and clarity. Awareness of your own leadership qualities provides you with the fuel for a career move that leads to a stronger position.

Disharmony and dissatisfaction around you provide challenges to your management capabilities. You are feeling internal pressures as well. You are intense about work right now and nervous strain can detract from your usual common sense and clarity. Be definite. Be firm. Determination can get you through a slow period.

You are attracted to a person much older or younger than you are.

Curb your present inclination to waste what you have worked hard to acquire.

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.

Your creative capacity lies in the ability to identify what is.� First you can be yourself.� Then you can exercise creative discrimination in the world around you.� Thirdly, you have the creative ability to lead, to assume your full authority.� And finally you will exercise the will to integrate, the ultimate expression of your grounded physical experience.� A key word for your creative process is TO MATERIALIZE.Traits you may find useful in your career include a solidly grounded approach to life, a sense of place in the world, a sense of practical limitations, attention to physical needs, focus of vision and reliance on what "works".� At best you don't let vocational considerations dominate your life, but address issues of practicality with creative awareness.

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

Your expression in the world tends to be even-handed in most situations. You are comfortable with a wide variety of people and have eclectic interests that allow you to feel at ease in formal, casual, social or work environments. You are able to balance a number of tasks simultaneously, and this capacity may serve you in supervisory and management positions. Because you keep an open mind to the many possibilities, you are often able to find alternative solutions and rank them according to their likely level of effectiveness.

You generally prefer to take the initiative in any situation, choosing action over other considerations. Your initial enthusiasm is often what gets the ball rolling, and you can be counted on to move forward with projects. You can be impatient. 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.

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 Cancer, 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 Scorpio, your secondary function is the Feeling type.

The Sun and Moon work together in your chart in a functioning partnership. The more aware you become of the styles you have, the more you can use them effectively. Your conscious individuality and less conscious interactive style work very well together, and this can be an advantage or disadvantage in the work place. There is a natural flow between your inner life and your outer expression. Your power comes from the strong emotional congruity you express, whether it be in personal affairs or in business. You may tend to depend too much on this side of your personality, and seem impractical at times. Still your nurturing capacity is appreciated by the people you work with. You can be rather suspicious of others and may have a crafty way of testing them. There is immense creative force in your emotional structure. You are able to make judgments that stick because you have a balance between your conscious approach to life and your internal barometer of values. You have a sexually magnetic nature and must exert an effort of will not to engage this trait in the work place, where it is completely inappropriate - unless you are an actor, in which case you make get all the steamy roles. Your loyalty must be earned, but it is a valuable asset. You enjoy being flattered. You have a wide range of unusual interests and apply your experiences through an introspective nature. You may appear inaccessible to others when you are engaged in an internal dialogue with yourself. You find that the conventional approach is satisfying because it keeps you from going to emotional extremes.

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.

You have emotional strength, although it sometimes seems like moodiness to others. Family matters are always a consideration for you, and work may have to take second place sometimes. You can be ruthless in your ambition and less than tactful. Your gut impressions are often right on.

Your personality naturally tends to exhibit feelings of security and practicality. There is a reserve, even caution, in your career decisions. You tend to be thorough in your work. Purposefulness shows in your actions. Egotism and a desire for pleasure can sometimes interfere with otherwise sound work practices.

The qualities you most easily recognize in yourself are self-confidence in almost every area, as well as the capacity to concentrate on the work at hand. Hence you have the likelihood of great career success. You set high goals and have the ambition to reach them. You gain self-awareness and confidence by sticking with projects to the end. You think of yourself as an ordinary person and wonder why others can't keep up. You recognize the real risks that arise in your career moves. Underneath the outer activity you have a deep spiritual awareness. Resistance within yourself is perceived as a barrier to be overcome. You respond to problems in a very practical basis and may need to cultivate the long view.

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 may experience an eagerness to get on with new career plans. As you learn to control rash impulses, you gain a sense of self-confidence during this period. You may see your ideals moving into reality.

During the current period you have more 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 good manners come across well in the work environment. Others respond well to you because you show a wider range of interests and knowledge of human nature.

The qualities you stand to gain at this time include versatility and adaptability. You can manage more than one career at any given time and enjoy the variety. You love activity, both physical and mental. You recognize that your creativity is somewhat sporadic. You understand that things are always in a state of flux, and you even thrive on this diversity. You are less likely to resist change than most people. You know you can respond to others and that you are a strong mediator.

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 experience a lessening of personal control and an increased tendency to react to outer influences - to respond to the needs and desires of other people. There is the potential to dissolve conditions which are rigid within the personality and to interact with others in a more beneficial manner. You tend to merge your feelings and ideas with other people, caring less for personal ownership and more for cooperative effort. You often make choices that are more beneficial to the people around you than to yourself, recognizing that you gain more satisfaction from helping others. You make a strong facilitator because you are naturally aware of how other people feel and thus are able to provide the motivation and circumstances for them to be successful. You measure your own success in terms of the worldly results.

These two tendencies combine to produce a personal approach to the world.

You tend to respond to others, at home, in personal relationships and in the work environment. Your fundamental beliefs were learned largely through family in childhood, and they may change only after significant thought. Your attitudes toward all objects of personal love, such as mate, child, pet, or friend revolve around responding to them. You usually choose to respond to the needs of others in the work environment, and your attitude toward peers and subordinates is focused as much on their needs as on the work demands.

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 self-doubt. Because you tend to doubt yourself, your best career direction is one which allows you to study the theory and philosophy carefully before you put them into practice. The legal and religious professions provide strong possibilities because they are based on an established body of information. Such careers draw on your prudence and intuitive judgment. You have the ability to concentrate on your sense of justice and logical follow-through to see you through the long haul. Keep this in mind in every area of endeavor, not just vocation. You learn through serious study of theory.

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.

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.

Focus your impulsive action. This is a time to avoid scattering your energy by pursuing too many possibilities. Use your own will to direct you to the most constructive projects, and then pour yourself into them.

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 you may be critical, even though you barely know what you are talking about. You can also be irritable for no apparent reason, and somewhat nervous. As you gain experience, these seeming limitations develop into job skills. You organize your work environment neatly and efficiently. You develop work methods and skills which allow you to be on top of every situation. You learn from your nervousness how to adapt to situations before they cause you discomfort. Your skills take you in the direction of detailed work or scientific investigation (even if your field is not science).

Associations with other people are the meat of your career. You would feel terribly isolated without lots of interaction with others. You can be a strong team member and a good leader as well. Diplomacy generally wins out over negative emotions, regardless of how strongly you feel personally. Yet you can be very direct when the chips are down.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.

Endurance is a trait that advances your ambitions. There is such a strong focus on the career and its demands that you may become more lonely over time because other people are not included in your plans. There is the ability to lead if the tendency to concentrate over much is curbed. You are an employee who can be turned loose on projects with good results.Career fields suited to you include administrators, architects, brick makers and layers, buyers, carpenters, cemetery workers, chiropractors, civil engineers, contractors, vocational counselors, efficiency experts, gardeners, government officials, governors, ice dealers, industrial engineers, landlords, land owners, leather workers, mathematicians, miners, orthopedic surgeons, ranchers, real estate agents, tanners, tombstone makers and watchmen.

 

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

It seems like you have to study and think a long time and then awareness is suddenly there. You can also meditate and get the same results. You have to develop a strong sense of reality or you can lose your stability. At the same time you have a strong potential for religious career connections. Your devotion to work is both an asset and a possible liability. Stick to the truth. Abilities that help your career include captivation, clairvoyance, credibility, pliancy, resilience, rhythm, sympathy, osmosis and imagination. Your career may also involve alcohol, angels, drugs, poetry, coffee, wine, witchcraft, trances, smuggling, sailing ships, deep sea, narcotics and missionaries.

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.

It is beneficial for you to develop close working relationships with your career peers, relationships that may lead to formal partnerships. You are a strong team leader because you facilitate the communal spirit among your co-workers.

You inspire loyalty in your every activity, and this is no less so in terms of career. Others will tolerate a somewhat dogmatic approach from time to time if you are otherwise honest and tolerant.

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.You may be more in touch with your own consciousness than most people because what you are and what you know about yourself are directly related. If there were no aspect between Sun and Midheaven, the connection would be less direct. You constructively express your energy by focusing on advancement toward success. You know yourself well enough to recognize your direction or mission early in the game. The easiest path to self-awareness for you is not through thinking, so you tend toward a career that focuses on other strengths. You may find that you experience social interactions as though through a veil or fog. Yet you feel a powerful drive to be understood and accepted. 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 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. Whatever psychic awareness you bring to your career is a felt thing, not the result of thought. You may find that your thought processes are sometimes inconsistent and self-awareness depends on listening to your "gut".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.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.Your psychic ability makes you aware of hidden traits in others. You are seldom surprised by the decisions of others and you are often one step ahead of them in your thinking. You suffer from a periodic lack of energy and are susceptible to infections. You have an innate sense of timing and attract help at just the right moment. You are inspired to acts of devotion. The richness of feelings in your life is the result of your close connection to the psychic realm. You are a dreamer and mystic. Sometimes you suffer losses because of unprofitable speculations.

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.

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?

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.

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.� 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.� 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.� 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.� 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 Mercury and Venus tend to express through two profoundly significant realities of being. First, you appreciate movement into incarnation. This movement includes the desire to manifest in the material world, and requires an effort of Will. Second, you experience a desire to cooperate with a larger plan. Thus you can combine both the will to manifest individually and the desire to return to the ultimate source. This is "the secret of beginnings."

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 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.

 

 

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.
