Jupiter is now in my 7th house and after a brief spell of unemployment I got another temp job at the beginning of May. I’m earning even more money, nearly $67,000, but they’ve given me hardly any work to do. One boss simply told me to ‘look busy’ but there’s only so much reading of a web page a person can do! He did say things should pick up in the coming weeks; however I can’t understand why I keep on finding myself in these identical types of situations. At first I thought it was down to Jupiter being in my 6th house but could it now be due to mercury’s retrograde slowing things down? Or is the universe simply trying to tell me something? And if so, what do you reckon it is?

To be honest these jobs have been ‘filler’ roles, not that I entered them with that expectation – I actually thought I’d be given work to do! Deep down I’d like to be a published author but that is never going to pay me a decent salary, so I’ve been trying to find a permanent job but unfortunately haven’t been able to find one that I’d think I’d enjoy. So I’ve been temping to make ends meet. A few friends tell me I should relax and ‘thank my lucky stars’ but I’m desperate to break this crazy cycle as it’s having a negative affect on my self-esteem.

The only positive thing out of this cycle has been my earnings. Three years ago I was stuck in a rut at the company I was working for, earning ¾ less than I’m getting now. And this year I managed to become a manager for the first time. Although bizarrely, at the request of my bosses, it was my assistant who was doing all the hard work – my bosses didn’t want me to do it, which again meant I hardly had anything to do! And in this new job that I’m in, I was actually taken off a project where I had stuff to do, and at this moment in time, I’m doing nothing.

From an astrological perspective, why do you think I keep on finding myself in this situation? And looking at my transits, do you think I can break this cycle sometime soon and find a better role?

Only thing I can see involving work is your Saturn return. Assuming that Leo rising is correct, when Sun squares Saturn in 11 days or so, it is likely to get worse. Make the most of it.

And I did what everyone is suggesting. In that span of time, 4 years, I wrote 2 novels, 1 screenplay and started my own internet business. I had to do it quietly and respectfully in a way where I wouldn't get caught, but because it was a publishing company I was never questioned by the excess amount of writing I was doing or the excess amount of editing. I always put their work first, but there was still loads of time to do my own stuff.

I was hired when Jupiter was conjunct my Pluto. PLuto co-rules my 6th House. I started on the day Jupiter was conjunct my Uranus which rules my MC.
