Uranus hits Mercury by opposition-This wasn't fun for me(I had the square). I wonder how it did with you?

I am surprised you say about your intellectual skills. I find it hard to believe that a libra mercury with an aspect to saturn does not have a well structured logical mind.

in the 40s we get all this transits that call for a review of our life. the first half. uranus calls for a review of old structures and want to change everything. we need to be careful that the need for change is targeted only in that what needs to be changed.

but unlived potential is knocking on the door and it is now or never. if you have found that studying anymal nursing is something feasible financially and in terms of timeline, I do not see what else you need to consider. you have no kids, no partner and I suspect no burden. if that is the case, what hold you back? i see the initial course as a good opportunity for testing if you really like the work. sometimes we idealize professions just to find out that we dont like them once we experience them. i have experienced that many times as I have changed careers so many times.

sometimes just adding a new hobby, new volunter activity, new training for the sake of having fun is all you need. sometimes changing career is not exactly the point, but to enrich our lives with many other options.

however if you find that changing career is the thing, then go for it. if you dont, you will regret it later when you feel too old for any change...

all the best in your path. I did not see anything particular that I wanted to bring up as a yes or no for the profession. other than my libra sister love veterinary LOL

I'm not really sure I've noticed too much in terms of my communications, I've wanted to finish working with children for probably the past 5 years but only if I found something I was passionate about..I've always had it in my head that I wasn't clever enough for nursing but recently I've felt much more comfortable in myself until last week when I realised that I could do it it I wanted to but I'm certainly not going to speed into anything. I guess I've always had to be tactful about anything I say to people in regards to uranus/mercury, there's one or two people pushing buttons at the moment that I'm having to be very careful with what I say

I'm not familiar with progressions but astro.com says my progressed sun is in Scorpio.

Progressed Sun may indicate wanting to do something "authentic" and more soul-connected etc.

Thank you for your kind words, when it comes to learning though, I've realised I don't sit and plough through information easily..and it certainly doesn't get remembered well. Probably years of talking to the under 5's has fried my brain..lol..but I'm hoping a short course will prove I can still do it.

I understand it may partly be just that time of life hence my being cautious, and I've given consideration to needing more fun or hobby type activities but nannying is an 11 or 12 hour day so it doesn't leave much time. I'm looking to possibly try some weekend volunteering though. Maybe I'll try and then decide not to change career after all but like you say, it may be now or never!

I guess I was just interested to see if the chart supported the work but I suppose I'd soon find out if I was suited..

Thanks loads for your input, it's much appreciated.

My progressed as requested..it isn't in the early degrees of Scorpio, maybe I've been burying my head in the sand for a while regarding change!

I've just felt a little confidence kick, a couple people have said more recently that I'm quite clever but I brushed it off, you've underlined it, thank you!

It's like you say...it's almost like I'm fearful of it..definitely have never had confidence in it and always self conscious. Wow..food for thought, thank you. Now, logical thinking is definitely something I can do so astrology is safe

In your Natal, you have Venus/Moon conjunct in 12th- strong indicator of someone who enjoys(Venus) and feels comfortable(Moon) behind the scenes(12th)

The Nursing profession has no glory- well at-least not the type to win you awards or have people snap pictures of you in the street.

But its rewards are very "soul-full" in essence.

Pluto-Mars-Sun conjunct in 2nd suggests that you give your energy resources(Pluto/Mars) and essence(Sun)to your job(2nd).

But there could be too much "ego" invested in work. As much as you enjoy helping others behind the scenes,you also want recognition and praise for what you do(Sun)

Eventually you will have to decide; is the job satisfaction of helping others enough? Or will I require "more" to satisfy myself?

I see this aspect most successfully combined as someone who works behind the scenes (Pluto). But in a very respected (Sun)and managerial position(Mars).

Pluto seeks dominion, Mars seeks conquests to make and the Sun seeks to shine. And with these 3 together, you may not like having people tell you what to do at work(2nd)

Neptune opposes the MC- adding a great deal spiritual/altruistic endeavors to the career one wants to partake in. Or a tendency for one to dream up something of the career path that doesn't really reflect its true nature.

Pluto/Mars/Sun trine MC adds the ability to deal with challenges and extreme situations quite comfortably. This ability comes naturally to you.

I say go for it. Although I would think that what I just mentioned would have you work more in the financial/commercial section of the hospital- Asc in Virgo/MC in Gemini.

It is also because of that stellium in the 2nd house- which focus more on the practical rather than the altogether philanthropic.

I see that Solar Arc Mercury(2nd house nataly) will Arch to conjunct the IC and oppose the MC in the next 2 years or so.

This definitely indicates changes in ones career and/or home-life.More especially since Mercury is in the 2nd house of job/work we do for money in the natal.

But watch for that Sun/Mars/Pluto triple conjunction. As I said,that's a lot of ego there.

I'll certainly take into consideration what you've written, I do feel more comfortable behind the scenes but I also do need some recognition, a thank you is usually enough for me I've found.

I think in some of the smaller practices, vet nurses also help out on reception so there may be opportunity to be involved in some managerial type work..I guess I'll have to see. In terms of people telling me what to do? You're right in that I'm not keen, that will be something to think about if things progress I suppose but hopefully will reduce as I become more experienced.

I have always been a very practical worker, you're right there, financial stuff doesn't attract me though..it's certainly worth keeping in mind that the idea of this job may morph into something else and I end up volunteering at an animal shelter or something whist doing something entirely different for work. At the moment I'm going to follow this path, it would be several years of training and may not even be financially viable but it may just as well turn into something wonderful!
