I'm almost done with college and I'm having serious doubts about what career I would be best at. Do you have any advice?

When I read a chart it's important for me to see the degree numbers of the planets and Ascendant and Midheaven as well as the aspect grid on the side of the chart. If you can repost the chart as the Astrodienst Default chart that automatically comes up when you make the chart, it will be much easier for everyone to read the chart.

Without knowing you and having a discussion about your past up to the present, the best I can do is throw out some basic things I think your chart suggests about vocation.

I see something in the arts, you could be in a power position. I'm also seeing that you really need to do your own thing and your willing to do the work that it takes to get the job done. There may be some writing involved and possibly teaching, but there is something to do with communications, teaching, writing, arts.

If you are a person who tends to indulge in drinking or drugs, this is NOT the time to continue or to start, this is a serious warning. The feeling of being lost does show up and may increase, but the same transits suggesting your feelings of loss and confusion can be used artistically as inspiration and spiritual assistance.

But I definitely see hardworking effort around arts or social services.

Please let me know if I hit anything of value or substance with this.

You're certainly right about me being a hardworker. Once I have a goal in mind, I'll pursue it for decades if that's what it takes.

I have also been told that I'm very good at writing and drawing, though a career in either of these fields have never appealed to me since careers in the arts are usually lacking in stability.

Right now I'm studying bioengineering in college and while I do enjoy this subject, I honestly don't want to work as a bioengineer.. I want to find a career that adds some meaning to my life-- a career that I'm deeply passionate about. I used to really love bioengineering; it was all I ever thought about, but college has made me very bitter and unfortunately I now find learning to be a chore rather than something pleasurable.

You also have a bunch of planets transiting the end of your 1st house of self and beginning of your 2nd house of values and money. This is partly why you feel conflicted. You want to go with your heart, but you want to hasve security in your life and finances. You are torn between your head and your heart.

I see you having two jobs. Maybe one real job and one volunteer job to satisfy your heart. You may end up doing something with families and home related things. (4th house venus, ruler on MC). Or your job could be dualistic in nature. (Gemini on cusp of 6th/ sun/merc in 6th in gemini.

I'm one also....

I've been sorta feeling like that also, I've got one more year left before I graduate from college and wondering if I know enought.

I mean I know a lot of programing languages, but I doubt i'm the best at any.

I'm wondering if its a career for me

The only answer I've been getting is more schooling, say post grad.

I'm trying an intertenship this summer, maybe you can try a internship in your field and see if its for you or not.

I spent the last three years trying to find were I should go and tried varies programs I'm still not 100% sure right know, but I have a better idea.

Most artists, including myself, don't really want to deal with what it actually means to be one or how it looks to society to be one.

But what if YOU are the one...

What if you are one of the one's who is successful and stable.... It's easy to say you want to be a successful artist but the reality of handling the business side of art is a whole different story and that is usually what makes or breaks an artist and we don't want to hear about business when we're young, we just want to do our art.

It seems to me from looking at your chart that you have the business chops, the work ethic to get whatever you want done in this life.

And if it's meaning you want, that leads me to thinking that some kind of social work, or even law or government work but I can't quite vamp on that for so long. Anyway, that could be what will happen with this, dare I say, gift of that Pluto transiting over your Neptune which is bringing that confusion and feeling of being lost. Lady Neptune was right in that respect. But it's gonna be a while, it's not going away that quickly. Confusion is a very spiritual place to be even though it doesn't feel good, but there is art in Neptune and Pluto is focusing on Neptune in a huge way right now.

Just some things to consider.
