Thanks TheManticore for your response - I see where you are going with the 9th house influences (like I said, I never even noticed that both the 6th & 10th (work & career houses) house rulers were there).

But there must be more than just "something of meaning"? I think this is the case for lots of people when it comes to their work.

If you go by just 9th house influences, then I would think of things like professor or philosopher. But I also think there's a lot more involved then just looking where the work/career rulers are located. What about aspects? or dispositors? or the sign on the MC? I can look at these things separately, but how does one put them all together to come up with ideas?

I'm actually kind of curious to know what specific career interests can be seen in the chart - if anything matches interests that I have or have had, and also if there are any I haven't thought of but sound intriguing. I've seen other threads on here where people offer their thoughts on what career path an individual must have taken or should take based on their natal charts.

The 10th is often said to point to our career, but I feel it is more correct to show what we are known as, known for, what people give us recognition/reimbursement for, and what our work goals are etc.

So career, usually covers it, however this can be confusing for people when they look at the types of careers associated with the sign and placements/aspects of the 10th.

I think you are restricted in going into a wider sphere of career for at least sometime because your 10th house is all about clotheslines, washing and folding, and housewifery. You will also study a formal and important degree chiefly from home.

There is a combination of dynamics between you and your husband (is it?). He is in two minds about wanting the traditional wife and all that it encompasses, as the cornerstone of domestic happiness and giving him societal standing - and on the otherhand, fuelled by your dreams, he is warming to the idea of you being a 'resource' in terms of bringing home the bacon, so much bacon according to the projected salary that you have in mind (once qualified and employed), yes so much bacon that he has some hopes of wallowing in the fat of your successful accomplishments, to the point where he would like to care less about his own work and eventually ease into a gradual retirement of golf, watching sports, and fishing. Eventually he would like to be like a big responsibility-less kind of man-baby that just eats and drinks and sort of wallows in a sea of leisure and food.

I'm thinking you might be a bit of a domestic goddess - great cook, handy hints and bits and pieces that you might even blog about etc.

You make a good comfortable couple as you also like to cushion out your life with comfort, food, and everyone feeling satisfied - good for you.

You both will have to watch for health issues to do with these indulgences however - such as pre diabetes and cholesterol etc.

feels like a current situation or close to where you are now type of feel.

there are things like painting the walls etc on a budget, sending off coupons or similar or a home based type of marketing/buy/sell thing, and big meals like spaghetti bolognese, cheesy lasagne type stuff, and some convenience feel foods too like, a cheese filled roll, and like artificial cream pastry.

the domestic goddess stuff, is like particular things that you do above and beyond what someone else might do, sort of like such stuff as being determined to scrub old tile grout until it is white no matter how long it takes with a toothbrush. Or almost driven nuts by the thought of dust on top of a high cupboard, or the thought of cockroach baits in the spots where you put them becoming like this obsessive nightmare as you wonder when to change them or if they are absolutely foul - sort of like some domestic little details plague you to the point of obsession.

I was hoping there would be some career path ideas seen in the chart but I just don't see where this 'housewife' idea is coming from and now we are talking cheese and spaghetti and me folding linen - it just sounds completely off from me and I think we're going off on some tangent!
