(Gemini)- That would be fine actually, because this is what confuses me; I have intensive interest on some things and this intensive interest goes beyond being the follower of these things. For example; i am able play more complicated tracks than tracks that a standard person who has a hobby of playing music instruments will be very happy to play (He plays the clarinet). I draw caricature, and the caricatures i draw are smarter and more comely than most of the other caricatures which we come across in comic books. I dont say this. This is people's comments. But the problem is; I wonder if i really have this potential, or Do people say these things just to boost my morale?
(Aries)- Well, if you can do all these things you mentioned, then this means you do have a great potential. However, having potential is not enough to make your dreams become true. Before anything else you need to have confidence in yourself and your skills. And if you want to share these skills with people, you have to fight for this. If you are just content with the comments of people telling yourself that you have skills, you cant make your mark on world even you do have a potential. I say, do not waste your artistry. All you have done by now is wasting your artistic abilities, just like me.

"Tell me what I need to know about finding the best job for my highest good and greatest joy"' and I got~4th House.

Examine what you believe it would take to make you feel secure in your work and career. Then formulate a plan to bring that security into your life.
At some time in the near or distant past your efforts to gain career advancement were made from a position of desperation. You did not allow yourself what you thought was the luxury of addressing your own needs. Now that way of thinking and acting is no longer appropriate. In face, if you do not take the time to stop and think about what it is that would really make you feel secure, you will put a roadblock in the way of your new career success. You cannot get what you want until you know what you want, so you must become aware of what it is that will make you feel secure. Once you are clear about that, security like you have never known can be yours and more quickly and you would ever think possible.
It is important that you do not take any unnecessary risks for a while. There are opportunities for career advancement all around you, but you must feel safe and protected to make the best use of them. You don't have to go far from your home and family to find what it is you have longed for. Working at home would enable you to spend more time with your family, which is exactly what you should do at this time. Not only would you be able to devote more attention to your support system, but also you would best be able to examine your feelings about your home and family. Your relationship with your family holds the key to when you will finally be achieving the kind of new and exciting career you have been waiting for.

He did not allow himself what he thought was the luxury of addressing his own needs. Maybe it's time he should.

I'm not trying to judge him in any way. I'm just very aware of the excuses we humans come up with for why we do or don't do things. I, too, have given others the authority to make decisions for me and then blamed them when things didn't go as I had planned. I have only myself to blame for letting others have the power to make choices for me, as does your friend.

Find what it is that you want and that will make you happiest and make a plan to get what you want.

Its a shame he doesn't like working in the music scene when it comes to movies and media, sound is the most underappreacted element in movies and games.

Watch a movie and then put it on mute, you'll notice how the sound compliments various forms of media.

Anyway, if he likes to help people maybe he should try teaching music for games.

I'm curently enrolled in game design, and its a growing field, good returns and I could haved used a good sound design teachers like him.

He told me that he should spent more time at home trying to improve his drawings and playing clarinet...he knows what he wants to do

If he knows what he wants to do, he should do it. Find some time when he can play his clarinet and do his drawings, set up a time when he will do this EVERY day...and do it. This is not an issue of confidence, it is an issue of will power. If he wants to do it...it WILL happen.

Willing it,

Using Noel Tyl's Midheaven extension method:
- Sagittarius modifies Midheaven (outer world)
Jupiter is in Gemini (ruled by Mercury)
Mercury is in Taurus (ruled by Venus)
Venus is in Aries (ruled by Mars)
Mars (being, also action) is in Aries
He is very active in putting himself out in the world

- Neptune (spirituality, also artistic) conjuncts (Midheaven)
He is artistic in the outer world

- Sun (self-expression, also performing arts) conjuncts (energy is combined with) Jupiter (expansion, also opportunity) is opposite (energy is over-excited by) Midheaven
Jupiter conjuncts (energy is combined with) his Nadir (inner world)
Outer world opportunities come from focusing on his inner world and his self-expression

- Venus (physical, also personal money) focused in the 2nd house (physical, also personal money) conjuncts Mars (being, also action) trine (energy goes easily with) Neptune conjunct Midheaven
He can take action making money with his artistic gifts

- Saturn (duty, also career) trines Neptune conjunct Midheaven
He can easily have an artistic career in the outer world

- T-square (strong energy) between the nodes focused on Moon (home) focused in the 5th house (self-expression, also performing arts)
His home can help to develop his self-expression

STOP

Those are some of the things helping him be a performing artist. Now all he has to do is use them the way he knows he should use them.

Answering astrologically,

Tim

Thats what i though he should go to media art, he seams more creative then me.

In a way he does sound a bit like me but not completly, question for you what is? what exactly does he do?

And what kinda of creativity does he have is he more of a tradional artist say hand painting or more towards Computer Generated art?.

I'm more towards Computer Generated art say 3D Modeling because of my capirorn rissing and being serious.
