Career Turning Point« on: 08.08.2014 at 11:16 [UT+1] »Hi,
I'm a single woman in my late forties and I'm trying to work out which of the following two options I shouldtake:Posts: 59- the harder career path and have my employer support me to study engineering as I feel often overlooked
when competing for jobs against male engineers. This would allow me to pay off my mortgage faster; support
my son's future university education better; and follow my feminist principles; or- take the easier, less well paid career path, which would allow me to spend more time with my son at home in
his last few years of high school, and which would allow me to enjoy my home, garden, and more relaxed
lifestyle, but meaning that it will take me a lot longer to pay the mortgage etc.
Pluto is transiting my tenth house (indicating the first option) but transiting Neptune is due to contact mypersonal planets in Pisces. I'm not sure Neptune is really going to help me get through the first option.
I'm feeling very torn between these two options and really would like to hear some of your thoughts.
Thanks in advance,
Sre

Re: Career Turning Point« Reply #1 - on: 08.08.2014 at 14:18 [UT+1] »the first option.

my first thought was wow, what a difficult question; then I started looking at things and thinking about it, andit became clear.
my general advice would be do what you really want or rather, who you really are.
Sag Moon didn't help as much as I wanted, and Pisces Sun didn't either. a square from Pluto would've madethings a lot easier, too. but we don't have one.

Gender:but we do have the Pluto oppositions, and Pluto in the 6th.
and we have Saturn ruling your 10th, and conj Venus, ruler of your 2nd. and 7th.
so I figured you have enough ambition and discipline to pull the first one, AND to value it.
plus... there is plenty of time to have the second choice later in life; when that Neptune hits your Asc you WILL
pull back, retreat from the big, bad world, and thanks to the first choice, by then, you will have ahome/sanctuary to retreat to, and some money to afford it.
teenagers may need some emotional support, but not from a stay at home mum with unfulfilled professional
ambitions and too much spare time.
IF tr Nep conj your Sun brings confusion, it will help to already be on a clear track.

constant need to prove myself. I'm wondering if this is a good reason to be ambitious or not. The question also
is a lot about future security, wanting a decent job into the future and unsaddling myself from a mortgage. By
the way, I currently have two employers who I could ask to support my study so I'd just go with the one which
was best.
But, it would be nice to be able to feel I can relax a little and be kinder to myself by taking the easier option.
The easier option still keeps me busy enough, as either way I'll still have two part time jobs. It would free me
up to spend more time in my garden and to support my son's burgeoning music career. If I take the easier
option then I can always study later.
So I suppose it boils down to, should I struggle to be better recognised by employers who may not necessarily
become more sympathetic anyway, as well as pay off my mortgage faster. Or should I just slow down and relax
for a while, living a more peaceful life while my son is still around, and know that the mortgage will eventually
be paid off anyway. And yes, I'm hoping that later on I'll have more time to get more creative!

The ruler of your 10th house is Saturn in your 12th. You probably have always thought thatyour efforts are not recognized by your employees. Now, with progressed Moon in Capricorn you may be tooconcerned about money and feeling more depressed and serious than you usually are. With Moon Trine Venus
you are better in interior design and gardening than engineering.

Re: Career Turning Point« Reply #6 - on: 09.08.2014 at 17:15 [UT+1] »With Aries on Ascendant, we would expect this natal chart to be ruled by Mars - which is very much "at home"in Scorpio, but uncomfortable in 7th house (of open enemies). However, it is actually ruled by Venus (becauseof it's close proximity to the ascendant degree) - which is uncomfortable in fire sign Sagittarius, but "at home"in the 12th house (of hidden enemies).
North Node is in Taurus/2nd - ruled by Venus. South Node is in Scorpio/8th - ruled by Mars.

Your Capricorn MC/"career" is ruled by Saturn - at the anaretic degree of Pisces (where it is uncomfortable), andin 12th house of "hidden enemies". Your 5th/"son" is ruled by Sun - which is uncomfortable in Pisces, but
comfortable in 11th house (of social contacts).
Jupiter is in Cancer/4th; the natural and natal ruler of your 9th house (of self-development) and the ruler ofSaturn (by both house and sign). So, contentment and fulfilment will come from nurturing-in-the-home rather
from career achievements.
Your North Node indicates that happiness will come from being a "Taurus Farmer". But, which crop will

provide you with the most satisfaction (in this lifetime) - a successful son, or a successful career?

Re: Career Turning Point« Reply #7 - on: 09.08.2014 at 23:50 [UT+1] »First, I don't think that your being home more will be the difference between your son being successful in the
future. Many latch key kids do very well, especially if extra curricular activities at school keep them there way
past 3 pm. So really your son's chart would have to be perused in order to see if your hard work hurts him inany way.
Posts: 17033

Having the need for challenging work is part of your psyche. Needing to prove yourself is part of it too. I'm notsure you could talk yourself out of these traits, do you??
You have Mars inconjunct Venus. So....what you "ultimately want" is very personal and maybe hard for you todefine. I think you have to go PAST your son's high school graduation in your mind.
If you have 2 sources of support it means that someone believes in you. If you are absolutely sure of this
support, you need to seriously think about taking this opportunity because with the world financial crisis we arenow experiencing, a "bird in the hand" as they say.
I think if your son is a big worry (and not just that you need a break) you need to put up his chart.
By the way, you don't really explain the time frame for your advancement through additional education: are wetalking 2 years? 4 years? How long before you would considered equal in knowledge and able to achieve thisgreater yearly salary?
Looking at your chart again I see that Venus is at 8 degrees...at first I thought it said 5....so the inconjunct is
not exactly true...however, I still think, because your Venus is on the 12th house side of the Asc that you may
have a hard time "visualizing" exactly what you want. Oppositions are ALWAYS rough because an argument canbe made for either side. Only you can know your deepest needs.

To what extent (and why) will qualifying at age 47+ prevent you from being overlooked when competing forjobs with those who are younger or/and have been qualified longer?

Re: Career Turning Point« Reply #9 - on: 10.08.2014 at 16:31 [UT+1] »hey, I'm glad that someone under a strong Pluto transit and with a strong natal Pluto actually considers the"worth" of their ambitions. this will be helpful someday, when Pluto will ask of you to decide how far you'd go
for what you want.
but like Linda said, you can't escape who you really are. which is why I looked at your natal chart, to see what it
says in terms of ambition (Saturn) and power urges and perspective (Pluto).
tr Pluto in your 10th is just as high as you'll ever be able to reach in your career. this is the culmination time ofyour life. so chose wisely. give this opportunity up out of fear, and you may regret it later. so do make sure you
have the right reasons in mind when you chose.

Gender:like I said. chose who you are and not who you'd like to be. think Oedipus King. "destiny" is just a fancy word
for who you really are.

Yet...some astrologers believe that the South Node = "who we are"/where (in this lifetime) the Soul is moving
from, and the North Node = "who we aim to be"/where (in this lifetime) the Soul aims to move to.

However......you may also regret it later, if you give up this opportunity to step off the path of "Saturnconditioning". So, do make sure that you consider all the pro's and cons of both paths - and that you act inyour own best interests, rather than out of loyalty to your "feminist principles".

Re: Career Turning Point« Reply #11 - on: 12.08.2014 at 05:47 [UT+1] »Wow!
All those replies are spot on! Thank you everyone for taking the time to look at it. As has been identified, mydilemma is understanding what I really want.
Posts: 59

Yes, it is true that getting more qualifications doesn't necessarily mean I will have better job offers in the
future. I'm feeling the affects of my gender and age in the workplace but don't want to get stuck in roles which
don't challenge me. Maybe I'm looking for the challenge of studying an area I'm really interested in. The study
would go for only 1.5 years. I'm thinking that the best option is to combine this with more work in my better
paid role. This helps me pay off my mortgage faster so that I'm free to go wherever the best job offers areonce my son leaves home, in about 3 years. I'll also be in a better position to support his university education.
But on the other hand, I don't want to spend the last few years with my son frantically working and studying.
My better paid role is further away, while the easier option involves working from home. Although I suppose it
will only be 1.5 years and I'll have the remaining 1.5 years with less pressure. My son will be fine either way.
Yes, I appreciate time spent in my garden but perhaps that can wait.
So it seems that I'll take advantage of that Pluto transit through my tenth house, which will trine my sixth
house Pluto and Uranus as it goes, along with upcoming Saturn sextiles to these. Maybe Saturn transiting myeighth house is making me get it together to pay off the mortgage!
All your replies have really helped me think it through better. I'll let you know what happens.
Wishing you all the best,
Sre

Re: Career Turning Point« Reply #12 - on: 12.08.2014 at 13:13 [UT+1] »EJ, is it possible that you may have misunderstood that about the Nodes? you seem unsure what tense to use.
that particular "theory" says that the SN is what we used to be, in a past life, and the NN is what we should
move towards in this one. to further elaborate on, the SN comes easily, bc we already did that, and the NN ismore difficult, bc it is the exact opposite of what we naturally do, yet we need to do the NN as that is the "bestdirection for our spiritual/soul evolution".
anyways. let's say we work within the confines of this little theory.
if we truly understand the idea of the nodes, we understand they are an axis, two poles balancing each other,

Posts: 2915
Gender:like the 2 sides of a coin. one cannot - by definition - speak about one pole without speaking also about theother. this is true about any dichotomy, light/darkness, day/night, up/down. or before/after.
we must also keep in mind that astrological charts are not static; just like life. we're talking here aboutprocesses, about continuous development and movement, and becoming.
so, within your fav theory, we're talking about learning the NN, because we already know the SN. so we do not
lose the SN, we simply become more complex, by mastering the opposite skills, attitudes, etc. that's how you
become whole - by owning both light and dark, manifesting qualities AND the repressed ones. and so on.
so what we "are" is this life is someone whose task is to balance/master one particular axis, as part of their souldevelopment.
certainly, from a philosophical perspective, who you really are becomes a hell of a question when concepts stop
being static. when we're dealing with live systems, in continuous change instead of states of the system at one
particular frame in time.
freud said this is why we actually need the Ego. apart from the trouble it causes when it tries to shelter us from
our inner "dark" side, it also does this marvelous thing of keeping track of who we are. somehow, the ego
manages to cling to a definition of that - and of course, all the dirty tricks it deploys are, in fact, meant topreserve and protect that definition... and we do risk losing parts of our real selves when we cling too much toone particular definition... but... this is how life goes.
at the end of the day, not matter how much we change, we do so within a recognizable identity. and I think we
all agree the natal chart shows that identity, beyond doubt or risk of turning into someone else, otherwise wewouldn't be here.
as for the soul, having multiple lives, each with its own natal chart, SN/NN goals, identity, and so on... well...
who knows. I certainly hope each soul gets to experience everything. this is the only way my human mind canenvision "becoming whole".
and I do need to remind you that EVERY cultural artifact (myths, legends, stories, archetypes, etc) we have inthe whole history of mankind shows us that one cannot move outside their own identity/fate/destiny/whatever
you might want to call it. it has a binding quality. and there seems to be a huge price to be paid for those who
try to step outside, and that is a wasted life.

Re: Career Turning Point« Reply #13 - on: 12.08.2014 at 20:04 [UT+1] »Boy....I couldn't have said the above better myself...lol.
There's just one more thing: whatever you do, whatever choices you make and chances you take you are being
Posts: 17033

a role model for your son.
If you go for the more work - more security path and you succeed and are HAPPY with it, you are showing himthat this is a good path which gets you what you want. And it's good.
But: whatever your values are...wherever your n. node is, your son's values may not be the same: his nodes
may show a different path.
It's the RAZOR'S EDGE to try to cover ALL bases. No matter what you do, 20 years from now there's no telling
what your son will be doing, where he will "be" philosophically, and whether he appreciated your vision of how
to achieve your goals...whether he will see you as ambitious or just a very responsible woman..
One thing you don't want to do is ever to feel that your son prevented you from taking advantage of an
opportunity. That is why you have to search your own heart and mind for your truest desires and needs.
There's no such thing as perfection.... but if you are a loving mother and someone who is there when your son
needs you... AND if you get into the habit of setting time aside every few days to talk with him about your lifeand his life....and encourge him to both share his experiences and ASK you questions that may be on his
mind.... then, well, really whether you work or don't work, whether you are ambitious or not ....if your son has
a definite place in your schedule, and the lines of communication are open..... I mean, what else can you do?
And, last thing, I promise....lol...
There is NO WAY to be a mom and come away from that experience without feeling SOME measure of guilt.
And that is because life is conflict....especially within ourselves. That is why you have to often rely on intuition
and making lists... lists of values, of desires, of needs, etc. You must be honest with yourself about what yourdeepest desires are.... and how to get there from here.

If you are already using yourintellect or mind too much you will feel oppressed with more training in engineering with probably moremathematics. Making money is not necessarily better especially if you feelings are not engaged. There is somecreativity in engineering which could be an outlet. You've got the grand trine in water which represents a need

for an emotional outlet.
I am not telling to reject a career opportunity in engineering but only take it if you really like it. People pursue
careers because they like them and your reasons for wanting more training seem dubious.

I'm still waiting to see if I get offered the work I can do at home, so that I can combine it with my less well
paid part time role which is really close to home. This would make my life a lot easier. I could still do somereally relevant short courses here and there. Might be just the right kind of compromise, and might also afford
me the opportunity to express my creativity which I've generally missed doing for most of my life.

Nevertheless, I agree with you that the "becoming" is inherent in the seed at the time of birth - so, perhaps
your point about tenses is valid but too subtle for me to grasp.

Re: Career Turning Point« Reply #23 - on: 25.08.2014 at 15:25 [UT+1] »On reflection, I think we need only the 2014/15 SR Chart that is now posted below - and the chart in your reply
22. These show :1. For the sacking - Pmars was activating your Nuranus/Nneptune sextile; Pvenus was activating your Nmoon;
Pmercury was activating your natal 2/8+3/9 axes; Pasc was activating Npluto; Tpluto was activating Nsun andTjupiter was activating Nvenus/Nnn/Nasc.
2. SR Mercury in Aquarius/6th house (work) and ruler of 10th house (career) was opposing SR Ascendant in Leo(personal power), ruled by SR Sun in (intercepted) Pisces/7th house (close others).
3. SR Pluto (transformation) in Capricorn (responsibility)/5th house (children) was sextile SR Chiron(wounding), which is conjunct SR Sun.....and intercepted (along with SR Moon + SR Neptune) in Pisces/7th.
Thus....the SR chart for March 2014 depicts the emotionally painful sacking/transformation of responsibility
that lay ahead - but perhaps Neptune (and the other intercepted planets in Pisces/7th) prevented it from being
seen clearly by you. However, since all of your progressed-to-natal activations are positive, this was an eventthat was (natally-programmed) to "get you on the right track".
So, perhaps the two almost-exact squares in your SR Chart (Mars/NN/Venus and Jupiter/Uranus) indicate thedirection in which you now need to go. (And note here that SR North Node is at the anaretic degree of Libra.)

Very interesting that my son's Mars is at 29 deg Libra. Part of my initial question was about being able tosupport him. I'm hoping that Venus in Capricorn in the 6th house means I can run a home business in my free
two days per week, maybe incorporating my first degree in design.
Heartening to see Jupiter in Cancer in the 11th house. My career path generally has been supporting local
community projects and the disadvantaged. I'm not really sure what Uranus in Aries in the 8th house reallymeans, unless it's about using my skills in successfully getting grants for community groups.
I would appreciate some more understanding of the significance of SR NN at the anaretic degree, and somelight to be shed on the 7th house placements, about my life in general, if possible.

I think of anaretic degrees as a "last chance opportunity" to grasp something significant (to ourself, in thecurrent lifetime). And SR NN at 29Libra18 in 2nd house seems (imo) to be saying "seek balance by focusing
upon what you most value". So, I'm not surprised to hear that your son's Mars (ambition/drive) is at the same
degree - with your SR Mars standing shoulder-to-shoulder with it.
However, the natal chart reveals the "whole/lifetime learning programme", with this Solar Return being the
focus for 2014/15 only.......Nevertheless, the nodes in both charts are highlighting the need to balance yourMars/Venus (via Scorpio/Taurus in the natal and Aries/Libra in the Solar Return). BUT, in the natal chart, Mars
makes a wide conjunction with SN and Venus makes a 5-minute-orb semi-sextile to NN......indicating that (inthis lifetime) "contentment/happiness" will come from focusing upon Venus/Taurus activities rather thanMars/Scorpio pursuits.

Quote:and some light to be shed on the 7th house placements, about my life in general, if possible.

Note that your natal 1st/7th house axis is Aries/Libra (with Venus on Asc, and Mars in 7th) - as that is the lifelesson which the 2014/15 SR chart is actually focused upon.
Then......think of the SR 7th house as being "those we trust" (socially in this case, as Aquarius is on the cusp).
And, of the positive qualities of intercepted signs (+planets within them) as being used ineffectively - until you
resolve a problem relating to the SR 4th/10th house axis (which have Sag/Gemini duplicated on the start andend degree).
Intercepted SR Neptune/Sun/Chiron/Moon/Pisces (probably) caused you to instinctively trust the wrong"partner" (in the 10th house/career) - which (probably) could have been avoided if your Virgo/1st house skills of"discernment" had not also been intercepted/"unavailable for using effectively".
Now.....what can be learned from this "error of judgement", and subsequently applied to the natal
1st/7th/Venus/Mars issue(s)?

I've been trying to get my head around what happened, that's why it has taken so long for me to reply.
I'm so used to doing everything on my own and perhaps didn't communicate clearly enough my intentions
while I was on leave. I think my boss took advantage of this to get rid of me.

I certainly have an extremely independant streak and have very, very low expectations of support from others,
as per my Aries rising and Mars in Scorpio.
I'm thankful that I've since gained a small amount of work which I can do from home, so I hope to build upon
this.
These eventualities allow me more time to work on my fruit and vegetable garden, as well as finish building aself contained studio behind my home which I can rent out for some income.
So my income will be much less, but my finances managable. I'll still work on improving my income so that I
can support my son's studies, particularly as I'm concerned about the economic outlook for our young people.
I'll continue to think about the 1st 7th Venus Mars issues as these are a big stumbling block for me. I believe
my self sufficiency is a positive thing, but I believe that my inability to rely upon friends and potential partners
diminishes my life significantly. I suppose I just have to keep on working on it...
Thanks again,
Sre
