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 especially well-suited to work that requires partnership, or at least a strong level of cooperation. Your natural impartiality makes you a social asset and your affability will earn you second and third invitations. You could be comfortable in the field of diplomacy because you have the knack of fitting in while at the same time accomplishing your desired goals.You will be involved with refined products and services. You design unique collections, not off-the-rack copies. This is true across the board, not just in the clothing industry. Your creations, whatever they are, bring the required balance to the work situation. 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 romantic yourself, you can speak to that quality in your clients and work associates. You appreciate the love you find in your private life. You also have a concrete sense of how to inspire this quality in others. You are able to identify and enhance the sympathetic attraction of others, and therefore would be a good costume designer, hair stylist, or cosmetics dealer.Music may become part of your career as well. The harmony of sound is as vital to you as are the visuals. You may create, or certainly enjoy, original musical works.

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 are a master planner, able to wait for just the right moment to take action. Your creative talent lies in acting decisively when that moment arrives. You are a good observer of human nature, yet you can maintain a suitable distance when that is required. You thrive in situations where you can remain detached enough to see the overall picture, and you desire a certain freedom. If you are able to analyze your inner feelings and thoughts, your creativity is unlimited. You find pleasure in your ability to convince others of your viewpoint.

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 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.

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 like to focus on the practical considerations and leave the daydreams to others where work is concerned. You measure success in terms of results. Results for you include completion, harmony and dependability, all managed in a timely manner.

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

Your creativity works best in partnership with others. You may feel stifled by overly assertive supervisors and even resent any appearance of control by others. Yet you may also feel isolated if no one is around to share in the creative process.

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.

Generally you find that your creative impulse comes out in connection with other aspects of your life, and you may not think of yourself as being especially creative. Your energies are not focused on the creative act itself, but on people and activities that require creative effort on your part.

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.

Common sense sometimes seems to short circuit good ideas. Upon reflection, however, you often find that you have experienced a minor setback and avoided a major disaster. Blessed with good health and generally destined for success, you experience challenges which focus your attention on the development of healthy attitudes and good nutritional habits. Your life is filled with changes but you have a progressive mind which can manage them. You have the ego skills to work with your intuitive ability. You generally have plenty of nervous energy.The typical results of your creative forays have the following characteristics:

You fall in and out of love easily. In fact you enjoy the beginning and ending of relationships because of the excitement. Tension can have a big impact on your sex life. You will make remarkable achievements during your life, but there is a price. You need to take care to avoid accident or injury because of carelessness. You are brutally truthful and sometimes intolerant of others. Inhibited rhythms affect your physical body and your social existence. you are able to overcome difficulties. You are self-willed and gain or suffer because of this. You have natural psychic gifts which emerge during sleep or hypnotic states at first. You can achieve spiritual enlightenment through development of this inner vision.

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

It can seem like a disaster today, but you will find that changes at this time work out in the future pretty well.

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

Current and Future Trends for the Coming Year

This is an upsetting period for you, setting the stage for accidents or other unpleasant situations.

It is easy for you to become confused and lose your way at this time, due to odd ideas that enter your mind unbidden.

Sudden changes are likely, and you cannot predict exactly which way things will turn out. Be aware of any subversive activities around you and avoid becoming involved.

Creativity and Career

You may be wondering how creativity affects your career. Perhaps you don't feel that the work you do is very creative, or perhaps you have creative pursuits that are not part of how you earn money. Creativity is the expression of an ideal that we each find within ourselves. We each have a unique inner essence that deserves to be polished and re-fined in our individual ways. This essence can be expressed through vocation, and indeed it is a force that pushes us toward the most fulfilling career fields. Many factors combine to produce the best vocational choice. Multiple abilities may combine in a profession not usually associated with the individual qualities you possess.

Where You Have the Best Advantage

In the world of vocation certain energies work to your best advantage.

The creative process of nourishment is yours.  You tend to sustain and integrate your resources; this gives you the power to respond and to feel.  You can creatively reorient yourself, changing shape to fill whatever career container you have at the moment.  You can broaden your experience by flowing and spreading yourself as far as you desire.  This expansion of consciousness allows for commingling and interchange and is indicative of interpersonal commerce. You have the creative energy found in controlled passion.  A key word for your process is TO NOURISH.You may manifest some of these traits in your career: emotional balance (or lack), empathic ability, a sense of your own feelings, psychic or intuitive ability, ability to face pain, and ability to express the highest spiritual values of love, compassion, devotion.  At best you master emotions instead of letting them have free rein.

These may not be your greatest strengths, yet they work better for you in the work environment, they help you to achieve greater career success and fame, and they may even be essential for financial remuneration. For some people, the things that work where vocation is concerned are very different from what work in relationships or other areas of life.

Your Most Likely Mode of Expression

You are able to figure out the nuts and bolts of situations, and then turn them to your advantage through practical effort. Not afraid of physical challenges, you also appreciate the creature comforts that success brings. You are well-prepared to handle the day to day operations of a business. You are the type who may have built sand castles as a child, and ends up designing homes, bridges, high rises and other structures as an adult. You are able to visualize the results of your concrete labors.

You 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 able to adapt to conditions as they arise, learning how to manage and attend to details. You can take on the role of mediator, as you can entertain more than one viewpoint. You can be indecisive. You may have difficulty in persisting through to completion with assigned tasks. You may lose track of details and have trouble gathering the information you need for your work. You may also be easily distracted.

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 Virgo, you are primarily the Sensation type.

Sensation types are primarily interested in practical considerations of the world.  They will look at the actualities - facts first. They depend on their five normal senses for perception. They wish to have the experience, not hear about it from others. Sensation types learn by doing, so the learning process may be slower. To be satisfied, they need to go over things carefully. They are not less intelligent because they go slower - they are more careful. When given the time to assimilate information, the sensation type may remember it longer and understand the practical uses in more detail. Studying the theory of engineering may be difficult for the sensation type, but the application is their forte. You demand satisfaction all along the way, and will not select occupations that are without positive feedback. You are a healthy consumer, loving life and what it has to offer on the material level and you are best in careers involving real "stuff".  You would be a good real estate person, interior decorator, or chef.
