I'm at that crucial state in my life where I absolutely need to make a substantial career choice and I was weeding through my interests (which, Lord, knows there are many) and seeing which could actually make me a substantial living. I've always felt a very huge pull to throw myself into the military - while initially I wanted to go into combat, recently I find myself extremely drawn to being an FMF Corpsman, which is essentially being an enlisted medical specialist for the United States Navy and the United States Marine Corps. Do you see that in my chart? I absolutely loving writing but I don't know if that could be a full on career for me. Forensic psychology is another huge pull. Any insights are absolutely appreciated!

its amazing how much your chart is exactly like mine. i just cant get over it.but writing could be a good choice. i have actually started writing books. i got a couple of stuff saved. have you ever been told by anyone that you would be a great doctor? i do see that your asc is in virgo which could indicate your intrest in the military. plus virgo is good at organizing and being a perfectionist and as well as being a good soilder. very enduring. you have a good earth trine asc outward looks and personality trine sun the inner ego and saturn planet of steady organziation. this would give you a stable carrer oriented mind. very studious and persistent. i think you would make a great military soilder if thats what you would like to be.

Medical? For sure. In what capacity? With Jupiter in Cancer, in your tenth house I can see that publicly, a 'caring' or personal expression as a profession will bring you expansion.
Sixth house Pisces... same theme- water houses indicate emotive choices- plus, you've got Mars there, an action planet. What does one require in a medical job? Firm, strong actions centered around care, with a base of good reasoning.
Virgo ascendant in the last degrees would indicate a preciseness ( even an innate 'service' mentality), and coupled with your Taurus Sun, I would say that is a good choice. Your Aquarius Moon would give an interesting edge to your thought processes- giving you a personal yet impersonal, intelligent and detached way of approaching things. Pluto in your second house? Right where it belongs, in Scorpio. Second house indicating money...'other people's possessions' of Scorpio, and the depth and even 'death' of Pluto. (Forensic psychology- which you could specialize in)You've got lots of grounding influences in your past, or in home life for support. (fourth house Saturn) But disruptive influences too- Neptune and Uranus- you can count on yourself to pull through and see it to the end in schooling. By the way- a writing ability? There's a ton of paperwork involved in the medical profession, in a military capacity, even more, I imagine. (a slight different creative process however) IP: Logged |

Don't go in the military. The unscrupulous things that are done in that institution.. it's depressing. I was stationed at Seymour-Johnson.. nicknamed "Shady J" for all the things that weren't supposed to happen but did.When I was in tech school, we all used to joke amongst eachother that we legitimately felt like we were getting a lot stupider despite doing nothing different. I'm guessing a corpsman is enlisted, in which case you're going to be treated like crap. Being a female, you're a piece of *(& to the majority of the men there, or a lesbian who should be a piece of ass or might be pushed into being an ass with the right work. It's worse in the navy than in the Air Force where I was. There are actually more women there and you're treated slightly better.. not to mention better food. There is a lot of sexism there, and they'll say promotion is skill based, but it's just like a corporation.. it's all about who you know. You won't likely believe this as I probably wouldn't, but I work Electrical and Environmental systems backshop, and before I got there there was as sex scandal. Apparently airmen who allowed the shop chief to sleep with their wives, were getting put in for military honors, senior airmen "below the zone", with bullets points to make them sound stellar that were impossible to do and blatantly obvious if you knew next to anything about the job.. like say trouble shooting and repairing 13 generators in a given shift when we rarely even get that many. It was a big hush hush thing when I got there, and apparently several airmen got promotions that way. I was put onto the swing shift, and the guy there apparently had a penchant for making people hate their job because he hated his and was waiting to be transferred to medical. Being fresh from tech school you want to do the right thing and put faith in the person supervising you who's training you.. so he'd do things to mess with you. Telling you to do something completely and totally unsafe.. making you lift something you're not supposed to or any number of things to make you look clueless or like a fool. When there was no work to do, he would choose some ubiquitous singer or song, and play it for the entire night. So you might listen to Michael Jackson's thriller for 5-6 hours a day non-stop for 3-5 days of the week if you had no work to do, and he would just mess around even though he should have sent us home. Imagine 5 hours of standing staring around with a supervisor trying to **** you off however he can, and doing this on a daily basis. As a side note, we had hardly any of the proper tools to do the job and became specialized at using razor blades for the most bizarre of tasks. The song part and keeping you long hours improved a little and had stopped a lot by the time I got there. I became understandably upset and notified the day shift about what was going on. The next day the day shift supervisor pulls me in and says that he hears I've been slacking off on night shift.. being exceedingly irresponsible and I'm threatened with an LOC (written misconduct). They also tell me they are going to move me to day shift to keep a closer eye on me. Fine.. The next part gets personal, but due to my depression and everything I then decide I hate work too much that I'm overdosing and if I die, great, if I don't, I wanted out of the military anyway. It was something that could kill my liver. Within a 48 hour period I go from being the worst airmen in the shop to being the absolute best and they have nothing but stellar things to say about me (wtf?). I then learn that 5 other people have had suicide attempts all within my squadron in the last 12 months or so that I shouldn't have known about, and that 2-3 people have successfully commited suicide on the base within the last 3 years. Oh, and guess what!? There's an 18 hole golf course on the base. There are other problems I had with the Air Force which is generally seen as the best branch of military to be in, but I'll leave it at that. Some bases aren't that bad. It depends on your luck. Oh, and the women who work in medical were affectionately known as "med hoes" in tech school. If you don't believe me, I tried to dissuade someone on yahoo answers many years back from joining the air force. He got sent to my base after I had originally suggested my alternate view on military service and contacted me several years down the line. He talked a little about his experiences and validated mine. I can forward you that e-mail complete with time stamps. You're too talented. Do something else.. I can't see that mystic rectangle of juptier, mercury, pluto and uranus being even remotely satisfied in the military.. Do you know how many shots they make you take? The anthrax vaccines especially will mess with your head. My ex went way over the edge during that time. Oh, you want to know how you can tell if a recruiter is lying? His mouth is moving. Edit: To say something more positive, one of the benefits of being in the service is you get your pick of men, and men treat you with reverence. If they don't it's much harder to get laid. Many are sexist behind your back though so.. yeah. If you want that much male attention you can do it without the military and move to Alaska where you don't have to watch Fox News every time you go for a medical appointment. IP: Logged |

It's crazy how you, me and ethereal were all born a few days apart and frequent these forms! What are the odds of that? Definitely an innate interest in astrology/the mystical with our configurations. I really do love writing, it's definitely something of a 'natural' talent to me, but that's exactly why I sometimes get bored of it - it doesn't even feel like a job and growth is sparse, sometimes. No one in particular has ever told me I'd be a great doctor given that I rarely talk about my interest in the medical and general psychological field, but I do feel a huge pull there and others have complimented me on the fact I am meticulous with pointing out unspoken details in a lot of various situations..

Wow, thank you so much Pixie, you really helped reaffirm my innate pull towards "public service" but in a more healing context. Western medicine and its inherent structure are definitely confines I can see myself excelling in despite a lot of natural rebellion I had when I was younger - working in the ridiculous, past paced environment of the military is also something I'm inexplicably drawn to as well. There's something about that water grand trine of Pluto/Jupiter/Mars that's itching to be challenging but I am admittedly a person that stagnates too easily but being in charge of others well being would definitely activate the "innate service" mentality of my Virgo asc and caring nature of Taurus, as you eloquently stated. It is the Aquarius moon that throws me a for a loop 9 times out of 10, though. It's nature is so changeable.. I'm also going to chalk that up the the late Gemini MC. Sometimes without warning I'll find myself desperately clawing out of the comfortable world I set myself in. It's hard trying to find stability in that as much as I know I want it.

This post has been on my mind for a while. If anything, the grand water trine between Pluto/Jupiter/Mars is really what makes me think that I would flourish in a military environment. Napoleon had the same configuration, but granted his was in Earth.. I do feel that there is something about the military that beckons me, strangely enough. You'd think my Aquarius moon would be revolted at the thought (maybe when I was younger it would be), but I do feel it's almost written in to my natal chart. IP: Logged |

Yes! Medicine is a great expression... so long as you are 'master of your own specialism'. You need to find an area in which you are the expert and to do so consider your priorities i.e. what particular area you are drawn to and why...

I just wanna say real quick that I think you have a v.incisive mind with ASC/MC ruler Merc being in the 8th and in aspect to Pluto however it is sq the nodal axis so you need to make sure you don't go overboard with it, use it only to your advantage but don't push it. But anyway with that Merc I can see the pull you have toward using your mind like a sharp instrument, very savvy, it will serve you well in whatever you do, the only thing is there is a loose sq to Moon which may have you second-guessing your instincts. Your Moon is absolutely valid so don't distrust the intuition + it's conj NN so it is a huge player in the chart and it's sq Pluto so you have v.sharp antennae.
Personally to assess potential vocations I look first at Sun sign/house for where you'd shine, MC sign/ruler/house for what name you wanna make for yourself, and NN by sign and house the life calling, the Moon situation for what would feel right, and ASC for the personal approach. There are other things to look at but I like those.
With the Taurus Sun in the 9th I'd like to see you shining in matters related to applying yourself steadily and practically in H9 areas, so H9 rules publishing, travel, higher education, etc. With the Gem MC and it's ruler Merc in Taurus in the 8th again there's steady application toward a goal, Gem could be connected to writing, to being a messenger somehow getting the word out about issues, you want to be seen as someone who knows the ins and outs of the situation that they are placed in, you want to be the reliable go-to person who has inside knowledge so be sure whatever you choose allows you to wear that cap. NN conj Moon definite healer/caring potential, a mother of some sort as a life purpose, in Aquarius so you're looking at the broader community, you're not singling out anyone here there's a pull toward giving to many people, it's in the 5th so you're gonna have fun with this, you're going to happily encourage the people you care for and not be a sourpuss about the energy you are handing out, the Leo SN corresponding to NN H5 will make this energy easier to access, the 5th is the house of kids so you could be a great nurturer of them if you do choose to care for them in your work, either way you bring a flair to it; the sq to Pluto in Scorp just means you're aware of the deeper darker issues out there that those in your care face and aren't afraid to face em head on. What else.. ok that is a 2 in 1 since moon is conj nn. Asc Virgo so you want things to run in a precise manner, if you're in a frazzled environment then under your supervision it won't stay that way for long, you want there to be definite systems in place, definite rules that the place you work for runs by and you want to follow it to the letter and others have to abide by same code. One weird thing I see for you is h2 ruler is Venus in the 7th so your personal income is connected to the relationships you maintain with people, you have to stay on an even keel else income falters and it's tight sq Neptune which rules the 7th so don't lend money or just take great care in your financial dealings with others cos you're apt to be easily deceive or be deceived. Ruler of 6th is also Neptune. So ruler of 2nd is sq ruler of 6th, maybe you invest in relationships and that leads you away from attn paid to practical day to day matters of making ends meet, I dunno, but that Venus sq Neptune needs to be dealt with pronto if you want stability in those areas, you need to get your head screwed on straight regarding relationships if you haven't already cos that will directly affect your earning potential.
Eta forgot, Aquarius is connected to new technologies so that could be a part of what you do as well. You could feel right at home with innovation and be skilled in some new field. If it's medicine maybe it's ground breaking work in a children's hospital (h5), just throwing ideas out there. Chiron in 10th definite mark of a healer, Jupiter in 10th is the benefactor so you want to encourage others in Cancer you want to give them an environment where they can rest and be nurtured, maybe you want to give a community or a safe place to people who are without. It could be interpreted in various ways.IP: Logged | |
