I have just tendered my first ever resignation and about to embark into the unknown. I started submitting a few job applications last week, and I just really need the courage to know that my decision today is correct and the right way to go, what lies ahead of me...

Sorry to hear you're struggling! Please post your chart with transits and I'll give a look... can't promise I can spend much time on it, but I'll try to do my best.
and thank you for calling me! ❤️

Hi Stoika, no problem.
This is my chart with transits: http://imgur.com/WA5uTC6

Could you give me a tarot reading as well/instead? The last two times you gave me a tarot reading was really accurate. Last year when I was so unsure whether I made the correct decision turning down a job offer, you did a reading for me and told me that sometime around end November/early December, I would have known that it was the correct decision. That gave me some courage to hold on and you were right. Things did clear up and I received the best job offer (with great prospects). I was so excited, though now that job is also the one I just resigned from recently...

This year, as an update to the tarot reading you gave me in regards to my love life, I took a screenshot and referred to it religiously. You told me that a new path is potentially going to open up for me from April to October, with a clearer start especially in June. I especially related to you saying how II will want to feel "safe" and the tarot card suggesting how I might actually find a "safe" situation, allowing me to let go of my past traumatic experience.

You couldn't be more right, especially on the dates. I met someone late in April, he asked me out officially (to be in a relationship with him) mid June and although we had our differences which we worked through, I sincerely believed that everything has been falling into place and would be perfect by October. I held off updating you in regards to this as I wanted to wait until October has passed but I have been so eager.

I understand that you are busy, so I will be earnestly awaiting for your reply. Please know that I am really very grateful to the point where I feel ashamed to always request help from you however at this point, I think I just really need something to hold onto.

I actually can't remember the tarot reading and I was convinced it was transits reading...! I don't do tarots since long so honesly I don't feel it would be a safe prediction/advice on my part, and I feel much safer with astrology, if you don't mind...

I am looking at your situation and I see that transiting Saturn retrograde conjunct to your natal Uranus/Jupiter midpoint is giving great uncertainty. But it seems to me that the main reason you resigned is transiting South Node conjunct MC/Pluto, square to tr. Jupiter coming retrograde from your ASC... I wonder if your resignation comes from fears of responsabilities or a reputation/proud situation... likely it was a choice linked to a sense of insecurity/questioning around your Self-establishment cause of tr. Saturn passing through your Sun...

The thing is that this unstable situation will be there until Saturn and Jupiter go direct again, on October 10 and 18. From the second part of October I guess something will start to fall back into place for you, especially when Saturn goes direct while being conjunct to natal Jupiter trine to transiting North Node, whilst transiting South Node leaves your MC/Pluto. Likely this configuration will help you harvest from your current efforts, but with the retrograde planets going into a shadow period before going direct, likely it will be a slow process of self-awareness about what your direction must be. When tr. Saturn is conjunct to your Sun and Jupiter is conjunct to your ASC early next year, you'll likely find accomplishment, or a much more stable situation. Transiting South Node leaving your MC/Pluto is announcing change at this time.

I did not understand if your relationship is still going or if you're concerned about this as well... transiting Juno is in your 10th house and transiting North Node is going to be square to your DSC, so in the big picture of the other transits, currently the situation may look a bit unstable as well, but nothing is completely settled at this moment... let me know a little more what is the context in this area so that I can better understand what transits may bring. Jupiter direct going to square MC/Pluto may actually keep you more focused on your career rather that the relationship.

PS: post a Composite chart with transits for your relationship!

Hi Stoika, career wise would you say the next 3 months is going to be the worst 3 this year? I feel like I need something as a base for comparison. I'm currently applying for jobs and regretting my decision to resign. When I did it, I believed it was for the best. Prospects wise, my company was great however I thought there is something more out there (to be frank with you, I just wanted a higher salary and I believed I am worth much more). As the decision was to extend my contract, I declined it and said I am resigning. Was that the wrong choice after all? Unlike the choice I made last year (rejecting that job offer, then getting offered a much better opportunity a month afterwards as you predicted from my transits)?

I feel despondent, does that mean I will have no news or prospects for the next 3 months until next year? I can't believe I thought my decision was for the best.

--

My relationship was just an update from the reading you gave me earlier this year! I just wanted to let you know that everything you predicted went accordingly, down to the exact months so I am very grateful and aw struck.
My main concern is my career, but if you don't mind taking a brief look at my relationship chart (I know you're busy so just a brief look is fine), I just want to know if he looks like someone that might hurt me?

Composite: http://imgur.com/XABRdzM

Synastry: http://imgur.com/a/kkgRgcU

It's a little worrying to me as he has many planets in leo (venus, mars, mercury) which is exactly the same as the guy who broke my heart last year and completely traumatised me (if you recall) hence I was initially extremely hesitant to start anything with him. However, referring back to the love reading you did for me earlier this year and taking my venus in his 7th house as he might love me more than I love him hence lesser probability of me getting hurt? I went ahead with it :')

The next three months are likely going to be unstable but I guess Saturn going direct as it is conjunct to natal Jupiter should bring accomplishments, usually along with a lesson, so I guess it will require efforts on your part, this means that if you're not letting yourself overcome by depression or guilty feelings, if you oppose action to this, the Saturn/Jupiter Great Conjuction should be very favourable for your efforts to bring fruits. Maybe you made a mistake, but maybe this was in order to learn a greater lesson and for a greater good, and to re-find your self-worth following a new path. With South Node leaving your MC/PLuto, maybe you need to change the way how you consider what is worth and what is not, your ambitions versus what is best for you in terms of your social role and skills. And you need to let go of sense of security and regret, focusing more on what your self-worth is really about. In the big picture, I believe you'll start to see things more positively from the second half of October, and things will develope in a favourable way until early next year. In November, transiting mercury square to your 12th house planets may bring a lot of instability and insecurity, maybe about choices to make, but after this transit I believe you'll go straight ahead. Maybe we should re-check transits at that point, based on the context, in half november.

As for the relationship, there's clearly committment, romance and a sense of transformation, since North Node is conjunct Pluto, and with Venus/Jupiter/DSC trine to Juno and Saturn, this looks loving and long term, and full of expectations since Sun is square to Neptune. I don't think this person will hurt you intentionally. There are a few challenges as some of your individual choices may clash in the future, there's potentiality for arguments and criticism against each other, but mainly uncertainties when it comes to take common choices or decisions. This is because Mars is conjunct Chiron exact and opposite Juno, and Mercury is square Netpune/Uranus, so divisiveness on crucial issues is possible. Sun in the 12th house opposite Mercury is also another element of insecurity in the long run, as if once the romance is weaker, you feel less stability and uncertain future. So basically the relationship looks having very positive aspects, but also a few elements of instability on the long run. With Pluto conjunct North Node I believe it's matter to accept the challenge of serious committment and being really willing to share life together, because this relationship seems to be very transformative for your individual path.

Thank you so much Stoika. So based on the transits... am I unlikely to get a job this month (start in Oct) or next month (start in Nov)? 😭If so then I really need to rethink all of my finances and savings... I might even need to take on a part time job because I don't think I have sufficient savings to last me over the next 3 months. I want what is best for my career, so I don't want to end up taking a subpar job permanently due to the issue of money since that also defeats the purpose of me even resigning in the first place.

But the things you typed did give me some courage. I have redid my resume and cover letter, sent a tons of job applications and been catching up on my financial news readings & literature as well as refreshing my programming skills so I wouldn't be stumped when the opportunity arrives. I plan on continuing my current momentum for at least the next 2 weeks and hopefully some phone calls will come in and I would be prepared for them...
I'd be very grateful to touch base with you again in Mid-Nov.

Sincerely, thank you for always being around in all of my darkest few periods T_T
Truthfully, last year in late October/early November, I don't think I could have pulled through if it weren't for you telling me to "hold on" because everyone around me was telling me I made a mistake, it's a bad economy, I should "take whatever is offered". But I held on because you said things will get better in late Nov and by early Dec, I would have known that I made the right choice. Indeed, it was the best choice. So for that, I am very grateful to you as well.
I honestly might not even be where I am now if it weren't for you 😅 I hope you don't find it strange, I just thought you should know that you have made a great impact in my life, even just a few words, over the internet and for that I am really grateful.

Awww, I am so glad my reading was so helpful last year, thank you so much for your words!! But I am honestly convinced it all depends on you being so brilliant and never giving up! It's just natural to be in need of support in such crucial moments :-)

I have yet to find a job, have rejected 2 job offerings due to mismatch in expectations (short term wise, they could fill in my current lack of money but long term wise, they are not good for me - prospects wise).

I feel like I have slept through the entire month away, it's like a dream.
However I am still working hard.
I feel despondent on many levels, despondent yet not as desperate as I was when this first happened.

I don't know what is ahead of me, what I should be looking forward to (if there is even any) or what I should be working towards, the future seems bleak but I have a tiny amount of faith in me that I will pull through somehow. Which is different from the start of September when I didn't think I was going to pull through at if I reached October without having a new job arrangement.

I hope you have been well. I am not struggling to be honest, just very indifferent. I don't know which is worse.

With transiting Saturn retrograde through Uranus and Jupiter, there is this big upheaval making you question all your choices, direction and self-worth... But with tr. Saturn going direct again, you will likely learn how to "build" your direction in a less emotional way, maybe learning that not everything can be under control but your way to respond to mistakes or unexpected events, maybe also awareness that things may take more time/effort than you wish in order to find the best things for you. Mainly, I believe this Saturn transit may bring greater awareness and stability in your life for the future, somehow "reviewing" and resolving your natal Uranus/Jupiter conjunction just before Saturn goes towards your Sun.

I agree with you honestly. From when I first started delving into astrology 3-4 years back, it is my saturn opposite mars along with all of my many moon afflictions that drew my attention and explained a large part of my sadness. Chiron as well... indeed a "soul wound"

Hey lovely sista, I was a bit worried for you, so good to hear from you now 💙
I'm not surprised those jobs offers didn't work out for the short term issue, with these transits and Saturn still retrograde... I also understand your mood/state of mind completely because since Saturn is retrograde in our Aquarius sign, I feel exactly like you! "I don't know what is ahead of me, what I should be looking forward to (if there is even any) or what I should be working towards, the future seems bleak but I have a tiny amount of faith in me that I will pull through somehow."... I feel totally the same!!!
So thank you for sharing!
But let's hold on, Saturn is going direct next week, yeeh!!! 😉 💪
I am really hopeful that from half October things will start moving again somehow!
And try to look at it like this: you had job offers already, even though it didn't work out, this means you will have more offers... you just could not expect to find the right chance right away, but it will come!! You just need to have patience for the right one to arrive, and your feelings of "indifference" will change, it's just natural that you feel like that at this moment. Just... you won't feel like that for ever, it's only temporary!
Yes, your natal Saturn opposite Mars makes you feel "stuck" and can give you this lack of self-esteem as you always make the same mistakes under impulsive actions... but I think this awareness is what will change things, and transiting Saturn through your Jupiter/Uranus in Aquarius is what will help you, I think you will go through inner and outer changes in the next few months... at this moment you're just waiting, getting ready for a turning point. Keep giving updates!! Lots of hugs and finger crossed ❤️

Hi Stoika <3

I felt much better the week when Saturn finally went direct (as you said), was much more energetic, motivated and went through 2 jobs interviews. However things have slowed down again, in particularly this week, I have been feeling especially stressed out and vexed. I keep having the feeling that something better is on its way, but nothing seems to be coming @_@

But I keep feeling like its soon, like it is just within my grasp. With all this said, I feel like I'm sinking into despondence again. Thinking back on how it was just around this time last year when I consulted you regarding my career and everything was going well (even though I thought it was not) and your words gave me so much hope, everything turned out better than anything I could ever have imagined.
- I feel like I have plundered all of those luck, resigning from that job.

I can't honestly say if you will find a job before October or won't, but I actually wouldn't rule out that with the Saturn/Jupiter conjunction as Saturn goes direct something good will come within November, this is one of the most important transits in our life, usually bringing a huge turning point or accomplishment/establishment... in your case, transiting Saturn involves also natal Uranus, and this gives more instability to the Great Conjunction transit, but as Saturn goes direct and then is back to Uranus, this may bring big news. I am thinking that with tr. mercury square, such news may give you indecisiveness about a make it or break it situation... but it's a temporary transit. So I guess it all depends on what is going to come for you between late october and half november and this is why I think we should re-check at that point. I have the feeling that with these major Saturn transits something unexpected may come, a turning point... I guess my advice for now is to just keep on as you're doing, dont take things for granted for the next months but do not give up either. It may take a little longer than you expected, but then I have the feeling something will come all at once or so. I hope so much I can be helpful this time as well ❤️

Just... let's keep fingers crossed now until your interview. Meanwhile, I will check your transits again 😉 ❤️

Stoika! I want to tell you the craziest thing. You know how I spoke of the reading you gave me last year and how I found my previous job?
Frankly, that interview went TOO smoothly. It was about half an hour interview then HR called me less than an hour later to offer me the position. <- is basically unheard of as well. Anyways, I just realised that interview last year that got me the job IMMEDIATELY was on 16 November and guess what? My interview, this unprecedented (seriously, the director/partner of the firm- it's one of the big4, emailed me personally to arrange the interview. Where is HR?!) is next Tuesday, 16 NOVEMBER!

COINCIDENCE?!?!?!?!! I'm beyond spooked!
--

Anyways, no worries! I hope for things to clear up for you quickly. Christmas is coming soon, it is about time for us to get into the festive mood instead of moping around hahaha. Don't worry about giving me a reading or anything, especially if you're busy. I already feel bad for troubling you so much before! Thanks for being around for my updates and for me to share some joy with you though! I'm really grateful for these 2 years with you.

It didn't go well. Although the interviewers said they like my personality and that they can tell I am driven, however it seems as though I do not know what I want. I have been reflecting upon it and I realised my "lostness" has really extended to this part of my life.
E.g. It was for a mergers and acquisition role, however even though I do have the technical skills, qualifications etc, I couldn't exactly answer his question of "why mergers and acquisition?"
Upon that I realised my job search has also been rather scattered. It appears to me that any finance job is alright with me as long as there are good future prospects and as a result, due to this lack of proper direction, I have made no preparations at all for my future.

Somehow perhaps I have lost myself. I have always believed "Jack of all trades is master of none" and always prided myself for trying to go as "niche" as possible.

I probably also quit my previous role because I don't know what is it I want, hence couldn't see my previous role as a stepping stone towards anything.

As of now, I am trying to figure out exactly what is it that I want and reflecting on myself day in and day out.

If I am to describe what I have been for at least the past 2 months (of my job search) then probably something akin to a bucket with a hole at the bottom.
So what if I studied or "tried my best" for the past 2 months? I am so scattered and all over the place, the things I studied had different uses for such a large range of things they become irrelevant and just leaks out. Truly Jack of all trades is master of none.
