Sure they can. Thougn, looking at your chart, I don't know. You might get bored of it eventually. If you're still young though, you have time to figure out what you want and like.

But I know someone particular with strong Aqua and Uranus - took out the power when he stuck a knife in a toaster awhile back because he didn't even understand what would happen LOL much less anything IT related xD

Uranus can also cause malfunctions

I'm asking because I've read that people who have Sun/Uranus aspects are usually good with computers and technology. And I've had other people who have read my chart say that I might be good at doing something that involves technology. Get bored? Maybe but then I'd think about all the money I'd be making lol.

To be fair, a former boyfriend had Sun opposition Neptune/Uranus (but it's 7/8 degree)/ Mercury opposite Neptune/Uranus (2 degrees) and he's an iOS developer. He picks things very fast however he gets very bored quickly mentally(mercury/uranus). He switches to different companies every 1-2 years because he gathered work experiences and it's expected (startup companies) so it helps his boredom.

One quirk, he dislike being told what to do but he has freedom to do his work (sun/uranus) whenever as long he meets the deadline. But I am not sure if sun/uranus alone would indicate working in IT field. But I can imagine it would be fun because you need to continuously learn to keep up with how technology is evolving. There is always something new and to grow. Also if the work environment isn't strict, more lenient, and gives you space to work (ex: less micromangement), it would work out.

I also have another friend who has sun/Uranus opposition and he works in the tech field too. It is IT-related too. He has a sun in Gemini and the former BF is a cancer sun.

I'm sorry but IT is a vague term it can almost mean anything tech related anything from a mouse pad designer to a soddier that makes PCB boards.

For software development I find people with strong Mercuries because you need the math background.

Pisces/Aries mixes are common.

Other then software dev. anyone can work in the tech field. But being able to be sustainable is what matters and thats were the strong Mercuries come in.

I'm sorry the only people that make the big bucks are people with mathematical computational degrees because they know how to make code run faster and i'm far from being a math genius just mildly proficient .

People just don't understand that computer science isn't strictly programming. Its write code then prove its fast and an efficient solution (Algorithm).

If your lucky to get an interview at google you'll go through stages. The first one is just to see if you know anything about Algorithms.

I've worked with people with Business degrees who call themselves IT people even thought they don't have a f*cken clue how to code or have any background in software engineering or computer science just project management and how to manage a team of people.

Yet they what the dev's to build things properly.

FYI:I'm a Comp Sci Major, if you want to get in this field get a real comp sci or software engineering degree. It takes time, persistence, dedication and suffering especially discrete mathematics.

You might get a fast job with a fly by night degree but you'll get burnt out or laid off just as fast as you were hired, my 2 cents.

Plus you need to understand that the tech field is like fashion. What was in style this season may not be next. For example Mobile apps are very easy to make just download android studio and see for yourself. It may seam like a cash cow, but its over saturated and has the potential to go out of style soon.

Cyber-security is the "new thing in style for the season" but you have to learn Networking, Operating Systems(linux)and it be good at number theory to understand how cryptography works.

If your interested on how it works click the link:

There are other encryption/decryption algorithms (RSA, AES, Sha256, etc..) but the video gives the best example its Diffie-Hellman.

When I say IT I mean something like a
Computer Support Specialist. People who work on computers usually do make decent money. Of course they may not be rich but the money is good. I know someone who worked in Tech support and was making $20 an hour (I know it's not the best). She said if she was still working now she would probably be making more than that. In regards to what I mean by IT I am saying that I would like to work with fixing hardware, software issues etc. I know there is more to computers than coding and programming. I've done html coding before but I am talking about working with fixing technical issues.

What exactly do you mean by a fly by night degree? And if you get laid off does that mean you can't get employed anywhere else?
My friend got his certification and is now working doing tech support at Best Buy. But is still in school to get a degree. As far as Mercury goes I have Mercury trine Saturn, Mercury conjunct Jupiter, Mercury sextile Mars, Mercury square Neptune, Mercury conjunct North Node and Mercury conjunct Chiron.

Your chart looks very familiar. Like i hve perused it before and made comments hmmm.....

Uranus improvises a lot. So if the type of work you will be doing involves having to act on "on the minute" information, then this aspect can def help.

Have you considered working for yourself? Or atleast going for something that will allow you to be more independent?

Do you have interest in math a lot? Do you think you like to solve problems? Is it fine for you to work alone or with less interactions with other people?

With IT/Computer Science sometimes you need to really love it not because of the money you make. As you will use LOGIC often and work your brain too the max. If you don't love it, you will think that the money you get is not enough.

I took a Computer Science major in the university and within my friends after awhile it is a so common conversation about the salary and how boring it can be. Well, all of this male friends are an Air and Fire sun signs. I have found a lot of the female doesn't like having a conversation about it, so, yeah, I have more male friends then the female in IT field. The female tend to "whatever" after awhile because it is so male thinking, unless you meet the weirdo/nerdy one.

I know one of my classmates is a Taurus with moon in Aqua, he admitted that most of the time he didn't know what it taught as it was so beyond his head. So complicated that it was not as simple as he thought. He didn't do well in the university tough, but surprisingly enough he is in IT field longer than me. lol.

If you are more concerned with how much money it makes, I think it's better to take certain certification classes that match to what job you are looking for. Some of my friends finally take it to get more money from the job.

I swear the more I read your posts the more I think you would make a really good Friend .

I thought you were a team lead or lead developer?

Funny you should mention your friend and not knowing how the math connected. Today I baught a calling card but I damaged part of the serial key.

I knew all the numbers for the exception of the last 3 numbers. I thought so thats why I had to learn permutations. So I spend 3 hours trying to generate all the possible combinations.

Oh no ChildofVenus!!.

You shouldn’t let the chart dictate what you want to do. As long you have passion and determination, that’s what matters. I was an accountant before, my astrologer told me if I did not told her what I did, she wouldn’t know I would be one. But I made it with a degree in accounting. I studied a lot! Found passion in it and a sense of purpose. (My mercury in Pisces get confused but I manage) yes my main reason for it was because it’s was a stable career. But if I did not get my foot in the door I wouldn’t know what I dislike or like. From there I became quality assurance. Everyone changes careers in their lifetime.
Just remember the thumb of rule is never stop learning and dedicate your life to learning if you’re in tech industry. My knowledge in astrology isn’t enough to interpret your chart. Sorry

I am a 'tech' major and i have Moon square Uranus, Mars bQ Uranus and Uranus in the 6th.
I love working with electronics (the making synths and fabricating PCB boards type, and some programming) and combining them with art. My bf is the same, doing a PhD in an art / technology program, and he has Moon-Uranus, Venus-Uranus, Jupiter-Uranus (in a t-square). And Uranus in the 12th, which I've aways been curious about the meaning of.

You and my bf both have the Venus-Uranus square, which I've come to think is seriously a good factor for working with art and technology, or just creative use of technology. I think it would actually channel the energy in a healthy outlet, since squares call for action, and this would prevent it from manifesting as your love life being chaotic That's how I see my moon-uranus square, anyway, for my emotional life. So I'd say go for it, you might find it really cathartic.

I don't know if I could be a good friend lol but I tend to have some different group of people every time, I don't know how I make it, I am like just going with the flow then I have found myself in the group of people and get invited a lot. I don't know how it happens lol.

I was a team leader when we had a project, like, 3D Algorithm or something like that, in the university, and actually the Taurus and Aqua moon I mentioned before was one of my team member, but that was the first and the last time I let myself to be chosen as a team leader. The second time, I totally refused it. Then everytime I pretended that I didn't know anything (acted dumb) or I disappeared lol. I was a developer in my second job.

I actually didn't try to encourage you or discourage you as I didn't want to take any responsibility of your decisions as after all it is your decision. If you know what I mean.

I'm just trying to tell you what I and my friends experienced after graduating from the university and we are all agree that people who are more concern with the money in IT/Computer Science field, they are suggested to take certain certification classes than applying to more formal education.

It is kind of an open mind discussion.

I also usually will throw that questions to new people who are thinking to take IT/Computer Science to make them thinking how far is their ability to survive with it. lol. So, I don't think I make an encouraging or discouraging input, if you can understand what I mean. It is a serious brain crusher, you know. lol.

Far from. 90% of the time Lindaland is a supportive community.

As unfortunate as it is to sounds Software Engineers are like doctors they have big egos.

So they tend to look down on jobs that are perceived to be below them. Doctors look down on nurses then the nurses look down on orderlies.

Truth be told I was asked if wanted to be a network support admin. I was sorta but not really interested then they said to me "..we didn't think you'd be interested".

But if your happy just doing grunt work then by all means go for it.

You'll need more then a certificate to go beyond it later.

Thats actually what the trend is even right now with the number of fine arts majors declining there starting to implement graphic design into it.

So it becomes a sorta "tech" - arts combination.

A lot of fields and degrees are indirectly integrating some form of "tech" in it.

And there you go. That is the Venusian-temptation: an easier route to more money.

Let me set everyone straight on this. The 'easiest' route to material propserity is following your passion and arena of greatest natural (even undeveloped) talent -- NOT where 'the money' seems to be at the moment. If you make important life decisions that way, you give away a piece of your soul to become a slave to the economic system in its current state. It will change. The market is already saturated with I.T. workers -- unless you have the natural talent to write original software. If you love machines so much you can see yourself fixing them for a living, okay.

Trust me, if you are in massage therapy or the healing arts of some kind, you are in the right arena.

With Jupiter conjunct N.Node of your chart, just orient yourself in a positive direction and go a step at a time. It will bring rewards. The key with career choices is not to think of it as biting off the whole enchilada at once, but commit to basic steps that are headed in the right direction for you. Then make adjustments based on what you learn and experience.

Most importantly trust yourself. Trust the direction you feel brings mutual growth to you and others. In today's world most people change the line of work they are in to some degree. You don't have to commit to one exactly right thing now. Just find the right direction and move.

I've always been told that it's best to go into a field that is in demand. Where you can make decent money. It's good to have passion about your career. But you still need to think about other things. And knowing whether or not you can make good money in the field of your choice is important.

I’ve graduated from CS course and started masters in a course on applying IT for business. My chart has Gemini MC, MC ruler Mercury conjunct Moon/Venus in Aries and 8th house and trine Uranus from the 4th house, with Uranus ruler of 6th house Aqua.

Looking at the positions I’d say I do fine with having a job (6th house) that I can work from home (4th house).
I did well with Maths although I rarely use complex maths now. I work as a web application developer, the kind of complex applications that are integrated with complex systems. Tasks includes requirements evaluation, design and structuring. Software development is definitely not just writing code, architecture and performance, as well as working on different development phases and team are important too.

I’m not a typical developer as in I do better with abstract and creativity, as well as desigining structure, but I often don’t carry technical knowledge. My brain just don’t carry recipes, it carries patterns instead.

I would look at the 10th house and 6th house for career and job, where their rules are nd what they are aspecting. 5th house is about our talents and 6th house is where we apply them.

IMO passion might not born with us, it certainly didn’t with me, but it can born while we start on a field, which is what happened to me. But it’s important that we can work with what we are good at. This makes work much easier and enjoyable even if passion is not burning crazy.

Just to add, I’m also for CS degree. A good degree is much better than a small course that is informal. ait teaches important concepts and how to think logically and in structure. The concept of system is also important. If we think about it, computer is something exact and logical and everything integrates perfectly. Build a system that is well integrated its parts, then everything works fine and efficiently. Not thinking in advance and simply build might make things not work together.

How we perceive and design concepts of system and logic and how we think can be shaped by a good CS course. Of course one might not need such serious stuff if building a simple website. But working with the more complex applications like the ones handling citizen social security processes has to be much more complex. And everyone can do a simple website but not everyone becomes an engineer. Engineers lasts longer because they are rarer and very needed.
