Good god! So you know what they say about an unoccupied Virgo...I've been one of those for about 3 months, and it's about time I start going insane (mostly out of lack of financial security, feeling like I mean something to the world - obviously service/purpose is important to me). I just feel this NEED to work again.Anyhow for the first time in my life I'm getting serious about a CAREER. Jobs to me used to just mean money, and some sort of cheap fulfillment that I was doing something. Which has led me to nothing but unhappy, meaningless jobs which lead me to depression and anger. I've hated every job I've had, the one that was the best was a CD store but I hated the manager and the customers.
I turned to astrology for help with this, but my vague knowledge is leading me short I believe. I know to look at the MC, the 10th house, the 6th house (right? or was it 5th), and Chiron. However, SOOO many things in my chart point to health service. I can't ever imagine myself in a job like that though! I was a receptionist in a doctor's office and that was a nightmare to me. I fear sickness. Med school sounds like the ultimate nightmare to me. Health service jobs are impossible for me to work in. I may need to do a more intense study of my chart to find the other jobs.
I've currently been visiting a career counselor, which has been quite a bit of interest inventories which I find really fun. However, I did see it reflecting my interests that were apparent in my astro chart! That was weird but very cool. Except that the health service jobs were popping out right there at the top again. I also seemed to have lots of interests in the arts, with animals, and even technology. My interest in the environment also showed up, and I currently have developed an interest in cars, and have discussed how those 2 interests combined would be cool for an emissions/pollution control sort of job. So I made a bit of headway there, but am still frustrated.
What has everyone else done to define where they would actually be happy in a career, besides astrology and a career counselor? I envy my ex so much, he figured out what he wanted to do by accident, by visiting a car show one day, and it hit him that he would love to work on cars.
