Has anyone here been through these transits? They seem like an excellent time for radical change in perspectives and I'm getting a lot on "group consciousness raising activities".

Any ideas on how to pursue things like this? I get what the idea is, but not necessarily how to implement it.

I am currently looking for a job, so I'm thinking that if I pursue something that is more worthwhile than your basic part-time job, I would have luck and gain knowledge from it, but I can't seem to come up with any ideas on where to start.

I was also thinking about volunteering somewhere in my spare time, perhaps a Women's Shelter or something of that sort?

Any help would be appreciated.
I'm a bit lost here.

Thanks for checking this out for me!
It sounds like a great opportunity and I surely don't want to waste it!

Hm. I hope that posts.
But it may be easier to see the chart instead of making you pull it up somewhere :0)

Maybe helping women who are in businesses, women who need to upstart their own businesses(from the home), women who need work clothes, donations, food drives, can benefit from your help. In turn, you also benefit from what women in the workforce are like, especially since your attitude towards work will be continually transformed and reassessed during the next months and years. Also if there is any farming, planting, floral you could benefit from horticulture as well since Capricorn is an earth sign.

Interestingly transit Jupiter opp. Chiron(in your 11th - social causes) ended just yesterday, so in the recent days you may have had this compelling urge to be more involved and soulful about the suffering you see with women, women who are educationally oriented by background or scholarly, like librarians or writers. There is a tie to this experience, an instant empathy.

A charity drive is always a good cause. Propose an idea to a goodwill institution of some kind, like a local community center or a church group for a holiday fair. Craft things for auctions! Holiday Christmas fairs would be neat to volunteer in. Bring people or children into workshops to craft in art, make gingerbread houses, purchase baked goods, homemade gifts and the like. Ask if people wish to sell any goods of their own to make some money. The money made can be donated directly to the cause or people. This can easily start within local community centers or church groups if they never had this kind of Christmas fair before.

I'm so glad to know that work is coming my way, and my thoughts on it do need to be drastically changed. I've never enjoyed working very much, in fact I can be quite lazy. More of a talker than a doer ha!

I do have an instant empathy for women, especially those with goals similar to mine, as I'm an aspiring writer! Perfect!

And, the craft fair is a great idea! Maybe I could pitch that to a local Women's Shelter, or if they already have one, I'd love to just participate!

Interestingly, I had a feeling I would get a call from one of the places that I applied today and that it would be something to do with this idea of helping (based on my transits and a weekly tarot spread I had done). I did get a call from a local pet clinic to be a caretaker of the animals. This was one of the places I wanted to work most!

I've never enjoyed "working" very much either. If I was going to find my calling, it has to be where I can express my creativity AND to bring out the creative artist of others while being an integral part of a whole community. And being in service, what a value to people or animals who needs this.

And I agree, I have to have creative freedom in my work, being able to do a task in whichever way I deem worthy =D
Do you mind me asking what your career is?

OH, I don't think anyone can understand how thrilled I am and how much I completely and utterly needed this transit! I've moved to a new city a month ago, and have been job hunting nearly everyday! That's a long time! I've just been crossing my fingers with this transit.
