I don't know what I'd be good at. For the longest time Ive been trying to find my talent. The only thing Im good at is listening to music and fantasizing for hours! I can't be productive cause of it. I know I want to live abroad hopefully. On the other side of the world. I thought about working something with foreign language because Im trying to learn the native language of the country I wish to go to. However, I thought about it, and would it really be fun for me? I don't want my job to feel like "work". I have no idea what I might be good at. Any ideas? Please let me know if you have any suggestions of what career is good for me thanks IP: Logged |

That's a lovely question! For the career you will take you look at the tenth house, it is in Sagittarius, so the whole abroad dream, and learn foreign languages is exactly what you can do! It is your calling. So you can start by a studying a foreign language. Or take a course. I would suggest Spanish, Portuguese or French. Spanish and Portuguese is spoken in Spain, and in South America. French is spoken in Europe, some Africanan countries and some colonial islands in the oceans. You could also work as travel agent or tour gide. Or pilot. But then WHAT work will you do when you have mastered a language? You can look at your 6th house, it is Cancer. So anyting nurturing will suit you. Gardener, cook, real estate agent, home decoration, antique shop, or refurbishing furniture. Anything like that. As long as it is homey and cosey. You can also work at home. Any job, like administrative jobs, but from home. You can have your music then. You can also become translator, set up a home office. Or you can become a healer of some kind, practice at home. With Aries on the money house (2nd)you will become succesful if you follow your own lead, trust your gut feeling and take charge. Beware of impulsiveness, you can make rash decisions that will cost you money. Think before you act! You have North Node in 7th house so a partnership in business could also be your life mission. Start a travel bureau or translation bureau with someone else. Or a healing practice. Or you can start a bed and breakfast with your future spouse, or a sibling or best friend, abroad. Good luck in finding your calling! ------------------ Mercury conjunct Neptune: Can I take a message? IP: Logged |

Now I think of it, my husband has the same house system as yours. With Aries on the 2nd house, Cancer 6th and Sagittarius 10th. He is a garnener (Cancer 6th) and he must travel (Sagittarius 10th) a lot by car from house to house to do the gardens. Sagittarius needs a lot of variety and meet a lot of people. Otherwise they get bored. So, without even knowing his birth chart, he has followed his path instinctively. He has North Node in 10th conjunct his MC, so here is a life mission succeeded! ------------------ Mercury conjunct Neptune: Can I take a message? IP: Logged |

With Pluto conjunct MC, whatever you do, you're going to have to lose yourself in it, to become obsessed about it, and to be passionate about it, to really enjoy your career. I have this placement myself and I did try out a few different things before I realized that I had to do something that I felt made a difference in the world and impacted people in some way. I ended up in healthcare, where I deal with life and death every day. (Very Plutonic and also Scorpio, given that my MC is in Scorpio.)The daydreaming is probably due to your 12th house. I do that, too, and I have a 12th house stellium. I could see you doing something creative like art or music, but you would have to be obsessed and in love with it in order to stick with it and be disciplined about it. IP: Logged |

Talent lies in 5th house perhaps, things you love doing, if you have nothing in 5th, you are doomed Sorry! IP: Logged |

Mercury conjunct Venus does indicate talent involving languages/writing I feel, considering yours is in Pisces just don't spin them around too much, rest can't get out of that first sentence.NN in Virgo in ******* seventh, service-oriented alright, but maybe that Aqua Moon doesn't give that much sht, so maybe it balances out a wee bit, it might actually be useful for you, considering the fact that you can still maintain a detachement despite having all that pisces in your chart, you are like me alright! Mars in Libra in seventh, conjunct NN, now thats something I keep seeing in athletes' charts, you might have a Michael Jordan hiding in there somewhere. Mars ruled by exalted Venus(thank feck for that LIbra Mars) which conjuncts Mercury, you might be good with hands *Nods* Both are in 1st house, so whatever talent you have it will be pretty visible to the rest, you won't have to market too much, thats for sure. Pluto conjunct MC, whatever talents you have, you will kill for it!!!!! Now thats a dedication I likee A very angular chart you have btw, except for your cousins in the 12th house. IP: Logged |

@Heirophantom Thank you so much for all that useful information, it really gave me different ideas (: Ive actually wanted to work in a nursery or flower arrangement place, because it's a calming job with not too much socialization needed. I also thought about working in antique shops or home decor it's like you read my mind lol I really want to live abroad and travel the world! Im currently learning Korean cause I want to go to Korea (: So hopefully I can do well. Im still a beginner. I definitely feel like I want to do something to help animals. I love animals. Taking care of injured or special needs animals. Animals endangered. Ive thought since I've wanted to live in Korea I thought of doing something over there to help animals in the meat trade. But it seems difficult to get into.I need more motivation! I feel my life is just flowing by and there are so many dreams I have. But they are scattered all over the place, and then I think about what I dream of, and what Im actually good at is hard to separate from each other. I still hope to find what Im good at. Im definitely going to take those suggestions you made into consideration. So many good ideas thank you (: IP: Logged |

@StubbornVirgoThat's so interesting I didn't even realize I had my MC conjunct Pluto lol I feel very conflicted because I have to attention span of a rat. I can't focus on something for long periods of time. I can being doing work but I find myself getting finicky if I can't get up and listen to music. I literally feel like I must listen to music and go into dreamworld. That's the only thing I feel that I have done consistently for years and feel passionate about. But that hasn't got me anywhere, just keeps me happy. I can't imagine not doing it. I don't know why I do it to be honest. It's a mystery. I think what can I be passionate about? I don't know... I know that I am a pretty good writer. My teachers always complimented my writing. Especially my fourth grade teacher, my favorite teacher, I went to help her class just recently, and she told me how she remembers me being a good writer. I used to write fiction. But Im not sure if that's my calling. Im not sure. I always daydreamd about making music but that is something I never believed I could do because it's something I feel you must be born with. So I just fantasize about it 😟 IP: Logged |

@anonmydarkness Thank you for your input! Looks like Im out of luck then my 5th house is empty lolI used to write when I was little and foreign language has always had me interested! Ive always loved learning about different cultures and Im my families go to person to learn about cultures and history lol What do people mean by detached? I hear people describe Aqua moons like that all the time but I don't get it. I don't believe myself to be detached. Desire to be alone yes but I don't think Im detached. I do like helping people. I don't know why I feel like I must be selfless and Ive always wanted to help those less fortunate. Especially animals. I wish I could take in disabled or abused animals and love them. I feel that is something I need in my life. Or help those really in need. Ive been trying to find ways to intertwine this need I feel with my enjoyment and hobbies. I know Im interested in cultures and foreign language, but I wonder how I can intertwine this with doing something selfless. Thats really what I wish I hate thinking about living only caring about myself and that scares me. I don't want to be ungenuine or careless. I want to understand everyone epecially those who people ignore or the underdogs. Those are one of the least things I want. But my need to escape reality makes it hard for me. IP: Logged |

Detachment simply means you are aloof from what you experience and feel at some level, kind of at a distance, it doesn't mean you won't feel anything(thats simply a misinterpretation), its just that there is a distance between you and feelings. Saturn rules detachment in my eyes. A Pisces Moon might become the feelings when they feel it, hence they are empathetic, an empath can even feel the pain others are feeling perhaps at the same degree others are feeling, and detachment is not a bad thing, imagine if everyone in the world had a Pisces Moon, we'd have harvested weed in our gardens and cried when the weed leaves dried and fell off ~~~ Wouldn't the world have been a better place to live in?~~~ IP: Logged |

Since I'm dreamy all the time writing scripts (no one needs them but I live it!) and music gives me life and I'm a professional linguist, I feel it's my duty to give you some advice as my soulmate In your place I would focus on two directions: 1) helping others, animals if you want 2) spreading good music. You see, you can't ignore yourself. If you love music, then it's your thing and I suppose you would enjoy giving that pleasure to other people. Blog or some service that helps others find really good music, rare stuff, maybe. With writing skills you could be a musical critic. OR you could become a DJ and travel the world with your own sets. You have a good sense of rythm. By the way, I don't see in your chart that you're uncomfortable with people, you're quite friendly. Maybe, anxious but that's different. Also, in the astrological system I work your life goal is in Gemini and its ruler Mercury in Pisces in 7th house conjunct the Sun (ruler of 9th house) and Venus which means: you're particularly compassionate to others and your life goal is to become an active part of an organization or community that helps others. Abroad. Travelling a lot should be your lifestyle. But don't forget about music. I bet you can be an excellent songwriter. IP: Logged |

You're welcome. And Korean is also a very nice language. Your Pluto, conjunct the MC in Sagittarius tells me that you can be passionate about traveling and moving to Korea. And the working with animals is perfect for your Cancer 6th house. Your North Node is in Virgo, that means your South Node is in Pisces, and that explains the dreaming and the music. Dreaming and escaping is something you have mastered in your previous life and that is your comfort zone. This life you have to get more practical and get things done (Virgo). With your Pluto in Saggitarius, I guess you are about 21 years, so you are still young and figuring things out. The older you get, the more mature and the more you will move towards your North Node. You can still use the music and the dreaming when you are overwhelmed and need some rest, it is your comfort zone and to charge yourself. Keep doing that. But you must learn to master the Virgo traits. Keep up the good work, you will learn Korean gradually. Just try to follow through. Your instinct decided to take Korean courses, because it takes you where you are supposed to go. Just follow through and seek out the details about moving to Korea. Inform yourself and take preperations. And maybe you can get a job overthere with animals. And also, the antique shop, it is just THE thing for you. If Korea will not work out, you can have a plan B.

Thank you so much for these suggestions! Wow so many great suggestions I never thought of before. I can't believe you do all those things ! That's amazing! You are practically living my dream lol It's funny how you mention being a DJ and sharing music "rare music". I don't really listen to anything super rare but I like listening to old school music which is kind of rare these days so my preference in music is a bit different from people my age. I really wish I could be a songwriter. I always fantasize about it but I never thought it could be a reality. Actually writing is a bit therapuetic for me because I have such trouble expressing myself vocally, I do so much better through writing. Like everything I write here is probably 100 times harder for me to say in real life. So sometimes Id write. But the thing with me is a need to learn to be more productive, because Im a bit lazy and so stuck on drifting away into music with my fantasies that I have trouble applying them.

You are definitely right I do believe I got to work towards the Virgo traits. I am quite passionate about going to Korea, that even try to push myself in situations Im not comfortable because I know it will help me get there. Like trying to assert myself more even though it's hard. Im not an assertive person, but I have to prove myself to my mom that I can be mature enough to do things on my own so she doesn't worry about me. She worries about me going to another country. So I have some maturing I have to do. It's really hard but I know if I want to fulfill my dreams and be happier I have to put myself in uncomfortable situations It's so easy for me to depend on my mom to do everything for me, and assert herself in my place. But I couldn't probably ever live in a foreign country if I don't learn. So I feel my dream to go to Korea is kind of pushing me towards grounding myself a bit more like an Earth sign. Im slowly trying to get there. Im going to school right now but wasn't sure what to master in. I definitely have to learn to moderate my tendency to drift away and listen to music for hours and hours on end. But I definitely will still keep it since music is all I have known all these years and brings me happiness. But still gotta get those Virgo traits even more so since Im lacking earth tremendously lol I will keep working on learning Korean thanks again you're a lot of help(: IP: Logged |

I think you already know what you're passionate about - music and song writing. Anything else for you may prove to be just lukewarm. IP: Logged |
