New Career At 50

Dear DC,

I hope you had a wonderful 50th birthday! Turning 50 is indeed something to celebrate — both from the chronological standpoint and from the astrologically significant Chiron Return, of which you are in the process until January 2014. It is not unusual that you are in the midst of sorting through some career matters at this time. The Chiron Return marks a time of self-reflection, renewed understanding of past issues and wounds, and offers the gift to move forward with greater self-acceptance. If your career hasn’t been “true” for the past while, if it has been stuck in some patterns that have been hurtful to you, the Chiron Return process could help heal that.

The Global Career

Dear Mirian,

Thanks for asking me to have a look at your chart to suggest some career options for you. It seems rather timely that you are doing so, because 2013 and 2014 promise to be significant years for your career development. By the end of 2014, it may surprise you as to what kind of work you actually are doing! In the meantime, though, here are some ideas that your natal chart suggests for lines of work that resonate with you.

The Modern Pioneer

Dear Modern Pioneer,

Thank you for asking me to have a look at your chart to suggest some areas of work for you. I call you a Modern Pioneer because your chart very much suggests that you are someone who needs to forge a path of his own! As such, it is probably silly of me to try to suggest traditional career areas for you. So until you have your Life’s Work advancing with full momentum — and providing income to sustain you — sometimes it is indeed necessary to simply get a job. And by the sound of your email, you do have a clear vision on your Life’s Work — it’s getting a job that seems to be the issue at present.

So Many Paths

Dear RV,

Thank you for letting me look at your chart to help offer some ideas about career paths for you. I mean this emphatically because you have Uranus on the Midheaven — no one’s going to tell you what to do! Although that certainly makes you one-of-a-kind in whatever occupation you take on, you might want to be careful that you don’t dismiss other people’s ideas just because they weren’t your own.

Jupiter Direct at 6° Gemini

No Comments on Jupiter Direct at 6° Gemini

Yesterday, in the wee hours of the morning here in Vancouver, Jupiter shifted back into direct motion. From our perspective on Earth, it’s almost like the planet needed to travel in reverse gear from it’s place at 16° Gemini last October to tend to some unfinished business. It made it back to 6° Gemini where it stopped for a moment. Now it is getting back into first gear.

Jupiter rules higher education — looking at the world with a broad, open mind. Jupiter brings expansion and growth. Jupiter is freedom to explore one’s belief system. Jupiter can inspire travel in order to enjoy the enriched experience of being with other cultures. Jupiter always wants to know more and wants to share that knowledge with others. And Jupiter can certainly dabble in politics.
