I've been thinking that I would love to be an art professor, specifically painting. I just love helping people. When people come to me for advice or help, I go out of my way and I just love it. I love encouraging people and seeing burst of motivation. I tend to be really honest and I think others appreciate that too, because thats how they improve themselves.

Extra income also sounds nice, but I just want to know if I would genuinely good at it. I have to be perfect in everything I do, I can't half ass anything. I hate when teachers are not enthusiastic about their jobs either. I don't want to waste my time either if I won't end up liking it.

I have jupiter in fall in virgo but jupiter aspects all my personal planets in gemini and my asc.

When I was little kid I played classroom, and of course I would be the teacher to my many stuffed animals.... THOU I would yell and beat some of the misbehaving ones.... It use to get intense, damn.. I use to make up tests too in a weird scribble language thats was based of my mothers cursive.

I actually used to play the teacher, too, sometimes! And many people have told me I'd make a great teacher because I explain well, am patient and well.. smart

I have Jupiter in the 6th, conjunct Venus.
Gemini ASC and Sag NN.

For now, I'm too busy with my studies/figuring out what I want, but if I get the chance, I may do that. Sounds very cool.

Maybe you could start out teaching art at night school. Most school districts allow you to teach a night school course without a teaching certificate. I took an art class once at night school. That would let you see if you like it or not. Not sure why but when I think of teachers I think of Saggitarius.

Community and junior colleges seem easy enough to get a teaching position at with minimal complications (and unlike compulsory schooling everyone there probably wants to be), at least in terms of qualifications needed for teaching a subject.

Once I graduate and start working I'll focus on my teaching degree. That would probably be in 4 or 5 years.
I'm still ambitious (saturn conjunct mc) and want lots of money

I went on to study Architecture in the University and Art was and still is a huge part of my life. I still keep in contact with my Art teacher. He's always been proud of me. Great profession.

Who else use to do crap like that?

I used to pretend to be a teacher as well. I didn't beat my stuffed animal students though! :P

I was pretty serious about it though. Eventually I began using my brother as a "guinea pig" and created assignments for him. Thought about becoming a teacher professional but decided on art instead. I still love helping and teaching others (on a one-to-one basis though.)

I LOVE education. I have always wanted to be a teacher, and I'm positive that eventually I'll get a PhD. I already have my MA, and I get super geeky into anything that involves a philosophical approach to a topic. I think this is super evident in my interest in astrology: I think of charts as puzzles to delve into and analyze. I love bringing all sorts of disparate aspects and ideas and pieces of information into one compendious "whole" of a person, and astrology feels very much like reading a book and extracting ideological undertones from the field of study.

I think that Merc conj. Saturn is also a "teacher" placement, personally. It gives the native the ability to "see something in its completed form when it's still an abstract idea"--I think this an integral characteristic for educators to have. I think the Saturn conjunction also grounds Mercury's chatterbox effusion of the themes linked with the sign it's in with an ability for depth of concentration and practical application of those ideas.
