Prior to the transit, I had just graduated with my MA.

When the transit first started, I was having A LOT of trouble finding a job. I was still working at the part time job I had been working at while I was in school and it really wasn't paying the bills.

When Saturn started retrograding, I found my first job, but it was one I was WAY overqualified for and essentially took because I didn't want to have to move back home. During this same time, Pluto had moved into Cappy to trine my MC.

When Saturn finally retrograded back to conjoin my Sun and MC for a second time (3 months later) and then went direct, I got a surprise phone call for an interview (one of the places I had put a resume out to 5 months prior had finally decided to contact me). Because the job was a better fit for me, I decided to go to the interview and I ended up with the job. It's not still not EXACTLY what I want, but it's ten times better and definitely something that will help me work up to what I really do want to be doing.

Mostly what I noticed is that you still have to work for what it is you want, career-wise, but you will be given opportunities that may not have been there before. Doors may open and phones may ring and it all won't feel quite so futile. In the process, I did learn a lot about job hunting and different aspects of my field that I wouldn't have gotten into otherwise.

Hope that helps.
