The Midheaven in Gemini with 10th house ruler Mercury in Scorpio trine Moon in Cancer indicates that the career connected to having a penetrating,deep,intuitive,emotionally attuned mind that has a gift for understanding feelings

Your Neptune in 4th oppose Midheaven indicates a high sensitivity,empathy that is good for career, and Pluto in Libra in 2nd trine Midheaven is the regeneration in relating,counseling type of way in connection with the career. That fits well with Psychology. Jupiter in 5th house trine your Pluto in Libra in 2nd and Midheaven indicates that you can have a very successful career that is connection to expanding your creativity,self expression as well as being involved with children.

You have an excellent chart for a psychologist, but if you just want to be a librarian, that's a great career for you too. The Jupiter,Pluto,Midheaven in trine to each other is definitely potential for power expansion in your career. Definitely a strong indicator for success and even wealth. Jupiter-Pluto configurations are said to be good for wealth.

It seems to be prominent in your chart. Cofe astrology says that it's in early sag for you, which would make it conjunct your ic, neptune and/or venus

I would look into sabians for more input.

I think your chart speaks to you researching through being a psychologist and then creating your own library of your own writings making your discoveries available to the world through your library.

Wow, Raymond, you certainly know your stuff! I’m thankful for everyone’s help-past and present. It takes insight to interpret aspects in my opinion, and there are many talented people on this site who possess this gift. I learn a little more about you guys and myself.

“The Midheaven in Gemini with 10th house ruler Mercury in Scorpio trine Moon in Cancer indicates that the career connected to having a penetrating,deep,intuitive,emotionally attuned mind that has a gift for understanding feelings”

I do my best in this area. I try to put myself in other’s shoes and review my own behavior. It isn’t easy, especially when you’d rather ring the person’s neck. The older I get, the better this ability becomes. Patients, patients, patients.

“Jupiter-Pluto configurations are said to be good for wealth.”

I was not aware of this. It’s one of the reasons why I may change career paths. I don’t want to be a library director and that is where the money is if you’re content with making $30-50 grand a year. I have yet to research what psychologists/psychiatrists make, but I’m sure it’s more than that. I have no craving for wealth, but I would like to do some traveling and not have to worry about my “emergency fund” in my savings dwindling away or having to tap into my CD.

I’ll have more time to respond to evander and Geocosmic Valentine’s post tomorrow. Have a good night.

why did u cry and got discouraged when regitrar told u they dont have department of psychology.....were u embaraased bcz of yr lack of information or were u disappointed cz this was the only college u cld go to

psychology is a great profession....there are many branches of it....all major univresities have a department of psychology, there are wide range of career possibilities after you do masters or phd in psychology....

do research on internet about professional opportunities abt psychology...if u live in us,....then various givt site are available to give u idea abt what people earn in different professions....

here's how this looks from a..umm... psychological pdv. people do what they really want to do. their intentions are reflected by the results of their actions. Freud said this and it's one those things that still stands tall.

people who ask others 'what do you think? have doubts. People who need to give an explanation nobody asked for have even bigger doubts.

your first target should be to become aware what your doubts mean.

how does your uncle? being a psychologist influence the situation? is there any pressure there - in your family, or from yourself?

very imp - there's a bit of a difference between the two things - if you're fine sitting by yourself all day, organizing books and giving them out and signing them in, I'm not sure you'd enjoy listening to people talking all day. what kind of psychology do you have in mind -

and most of all - WHY? how do imagine you and your life as a psychologist?

I'm not exactly sure why I did not pursue another college option, except that I was crushed emotionally. I was also in a depressive cycle, so that didn't help. This was over a decade ago.

Evander, thanks for the asteroid Psyche lead; I’ll definitely follow it. However, I am not familiar with sabians, but that’s just another lead to investigate. Thank you.

Geocosmic Valentine: “Your Mercury in Scorpio wants sit and research all day long in a big dark library….”

I was amused by this statement, since researching is one of my favorite things to do. I wish I could stay home from work and do this all day. I’m more interested in counseling others, combining cognitive behavioral modification treatment with spirituality practices. And who knows, maybe write about it.

Yes, I will be researching this field and asking a lot of questions from professionals. But first, I think I’d better finish my degree. It couldn’t hurt. Take care, everyone.

am i getting it wrong...u seem to get offended or something...and no one wants u to take their opinion at face value

posted April 14, 2009 05:34 PM         

will you just stop being so childish? it's so easy to blame someone for 'making' you feel something - but nobody's making anyone feel anything. he asked for my opinion - I gave it - he freaked. so, oh, yeah, it's my fault. I touched a sore point. why don't we all give each other huggs and tell each other how great we are?

now I'm upset! I DID NOTHING WRONG. all I did was say something he didn't want to hear. well - if you don't wanna know: DON'T ask!

defend what? there was no attack. there wre some questions that he didn'y want to answer so INSTEAD he blamed me.

thoughts/insights are meant to be honest, writesomething. not hollow "good-lucks".

u r overreacting IMO. and u still forgot to thank ppl who took out time to respond to u...

i still think its rude....and now u r kin of annoying me...u r too sensitive....pls grow a thicker skin and some ability to see things objectively

in this forum i see ppl giving all sorts of advice to each other....so if u r so toucht stay away from asking questions on an open forum...where ppl share honest and sincere opinion with each other...cause none of us know each other personally and most of us just want to share an honest opinion when asked

posted April 15, 2009 01:57 AM         

i am just getting v amused at your immature and petty behvior. its childish cause it seems u think its some popularity/best answer contest being held by you where u r sort of putting those ppl in their place who stepped out of the line and instead of commenting on chart dared to say smthng beyond it...plz grow up

Also try to take into account that the psych path is quite lengthy (in some countries more then in others) and to get to be a respectable person you need at least 8 years of dedicated studying.

If you have the opportunity go to some "walk in" class I think that might clear your mind about what you want to do

Thanks writesomething for helping me.

[Your 3rd is at a critical degree, ruler is in Sag, you are capable of being blunt(sag), but diplomatic and fair(libra).]

I haven’t made that connection, but it rings true. See, this is what I meant about learning more about myself when people on this forum use their logic and intuition to help others. I’m not as blunt as I used to be (I’m sure the Merc/Scorp can take some credit).

[Virgo is common influence with psychologists.]

Didn’t know that, but I guess with Virgo, it makes sense.

I realize I have Chiron in Aries in the 8th. That sounds significant as well.

Hi evander, yeah it is a lengthy process, especially for psychiatry, but if you want something bad enough you go for it. I’ve taken a few psychology courses and yes, it’s pretty heady stuff to be sure. One of the local colleges combines psych with forensics-weee!

My first step in considering this field is that I made an appointment to talk to a doctor of psychiatry on the 30th of April. I can’t wait. Then, I’d like to speak with a psychologist. Thanks for caring, evander.
