I'm moving back to NY on June 26th. I was supposed to stay in Korea until November, but I'm really unhappy with my job. The money isn't even worth the bs I deal with... The won has gotten better in the past month and probably will get a little better in the next few, but it still doesn't equate what I could be making back at home with less problems and more promise of advancement. Plus, I miss the diversity of everything, and Korea and I just can't mix well together.

Uranus is in my 6th house, so ironically there are no surprises here about constant change of occupation... I moved from Chicago to New Jersey to living between NY and NJ to moving back to Chicago, then moved all the way to Korea on sort of a whim and now I've changed my plans yet again and am moving back to NY. With all this moving, you'd think that I would try to stick to one place but I doubt that's happening - occupationally anyways. I know that I belong in NY, though. I prefer the diversity and constant action to keep my mind occupied. My work experience is competitive with that of a newly graduated undergrad (I'm only 20), and I have plenty of job contacts there. I'm not *too* worried about moving, although I am stressing out about saving enough money here to move to NY. I'll only have about $3,000 by the time I get there in June, and I'll be staying at a hostel for a month while looking for both a place to stay AND a new job while there. I've been wary about sending out my resume and CV just yet because I know they'll put me on the back burner or even completely disregard me once they see that I'm still in Korea. People say that they're going to move to NY, but very rarely do they actually do it. Employers know that... so I'm gonna have to get my butt into gear once I land.

I'm hoping that Merc/Venus conjunct my Jupiter within the next two weeks after I land will help me out a little - especially with it in Taurus. Although... it's going through my 8th house... what exactly would that mean for me? The 8th house is about money through your partner, no? That's interesting because my boyfriend will be starting a lot of projects with friends then and I'm confident that he'll be successful being the lucky, tenacious Crab that he is... I really don't want him to support me while I'm trying to support myself... but knowing him... he may try... and I might need it?

Venus Transits the Eighth House

During this cycle, a financial boost is possible, or you may gain financially through your partner. A deep and intimate connection made now could be revitalizing and even healing. You are more inclined to want to smooth over differences in a partnership concerning the sharing of power, intimacy matters, finances, and other emotionally-charged topics. Intimate relationships are intensified now. Either you or your partner want a deeper union.

Mercury Transits the Eighth House

You are more intuitive now than usual, picking up all of the hidden cues from people around you and reading between the lines. This is an excellent cycle in which to do some financial planning and strategizing. Research is also highly favored. It's also easier for you to approach sensitive, intimate, and personal matters with rationality and logic. As such, this is a great time to open up conversations about topics that normally might cause waves, such as those revolving around the sharing of power, intimacy, and finances.

Mercury is in my 9th house, which reminds me of a friend who wanted to start a publishing company together. I'm not completely sure about this because I am only 20 and publishing companies easily come and go as with anything in today's economic atmosphere. I'm worried about wasting investments on something that has a high risk of failing... especially since we're so young and barely have any contacts. Of course, that's just my insecurities talking... I have yet to decide if I want to go into publishing... yet.

Also, the Sun is transiting through my 9th house and will be conjunct my MC around the time that I will DEFINITELY need a job. Perhaps I should schedule two months at the hostel? It's only $700 a month to stay there, and it'll be a place to keep me safe until my finances and life in general is in order.

For those of you wondering why I don't just move in with my boyfriend, I've considered it and he's even asked me, but I've decided that I need my own space still. Also, the idea of it scares me to death which is a sure signal that I am NOT READY.

Anyways, yeah... sorry this is excessively long. I've been planning this for the past three months...
