The problem of wealth and poverty has always existed, exists now and in the future too...
The ruler of a profession is determined using two methods: by the Sun and by the culminating sign. Thus, observation should be made of the planet which, at its morning appearance, is nearest to the Sun, as well as of the planet located in the Midheaven in astrology, especially when it is in the place of the Moon; if both of the above places are occupied by the same star, then it should be used and only that one; in the same way, if one of these places is not occupied by any star, then the one located in the second is used.
How to choose a profession according to astrology
It is necessary to consider the star that appears in the east after the Sun, as well as the one that is in the Midheaven or in a friendly aspect to it, especially if it forms an aspect to the Moon; and if the same star is strong in both respects, we consider only that which is asked.
If we do not find strength in both respects, but only in one, then only this should be taken into account when choosing a profession; if one star appears in front of the Sun, and another in the Midheaven and is in a friendly aspect with the Moon, it is necessary to take them both into account, giving preference to the one that is stronger in possession.
If the star does not form aspects and is not in the Midheaven, then the ruler of the MC will point us to the position and occupation to which the native is inclined to apply his strength: at least we will recognize the business that he will have the opportunity to do in life (since the placement of stars in astrology inclines some to idleness). In this way things concerning the master of the profession are recognized.
How to determine the type of profession by stars
The type of profession becomes known from the properties of three stars (depending on which one is responsible for the profession), namely:
- Mars,
- Venus
- and Mercury
- and from the signs in which they are found.
Mercury gives writers, businessmen, accountants, school teachers, merchants, money changers, theologians, astrologers, and those who live by the teaching and explanation, scholarship and gifts of others; and if Saturn in astrology indicates Mercury, they will either rule others, or become interpreters of dreams, or prophesies in churches; if Jupiter testifies to Mercury, they will be portrait painters, orators, sophists, acquaintances of prominent people.
If Venus rules over a profession, then those created by it will learn what the smell of flowers and ointments is, will become acquainted with wines and paints, tinctures and spices.
These will be pharmacists, winemakers, wine merchants, apothecaries, weavers, spice merchants, painters, dyers, clothing sellers; and if Saturn testifies to Venus, she will give birth to merchants of haberdashery and jewelry, sorcerers, poisoners, deceivers and the like; but if Jupiter testifies to Venus, they will become warriors, squires, to whom the favor of women will bring glory.
And Mars in astrology, ruling the profession, in aspect with the Sun, will create those whose work is connected with fire: cooks, smelters, stokers, crushers, brave men; but being in conjunction with the Sun, it will give birth to shipbuilders, carpenters, tillers, stonemasons, lumberjacks, and other workers.
If Saturn indicates Mars, then these will be sailors, cellar emptiers, animal eaters, cooks, butchers. If the evidence comes from Jupiter, then when choosing a profession, soldiers, servants, tax collectors, innkeepers, customs duty collectors, and priests will arise.
When one of the planets is at the point of morning appearance nearest to the Sun, and the second is associated in astrology with the Midheaven and the Moon, we should take both into account, giving preference to the one which, due to its strength, has more reasons for dominance, according to the diagram given earlier.
If there is no morning rising of any star, or none of them is located in the Midheaven, then we must take the ruler of the last region, noting the randomness of the person's activities, for the natures having such a birth chart are for the most part very inactive. This is how we will determine the planet that rules the activity.
Cases when several stars influence the choice of profession
Two stars, who together turned out to be managers of the profession,
- if it is Mercury and Venus, they will create musicians, composers, and those who deal with musical instruments, songs and poetry, especially if they do not sit still: these will be actors, performers, slave traders, musical instrument makers, dancers, musicians, players of string instruments, jumpers, in other words acrobats, wax workers, painters;
- and if Saturn testifies, then these will be dealers in women's jewelry. And if Jupiter testifies, then they will be lawyers, government officials, teachers, people's rulers.
- If Mars and Mercury together turn out to be the masters of craftsmanship in astrology, then they will give birth to sculptors, gunsmiths, engravers of church utensils, animal trainers, wrestlers, surgeons, prosecutors, adulterers, criminals, people forging signatures; if there is evidence of Saturn, then these will be murderers, clothing thieves, greedy thieves, cattle rustlers, sorcerers.
- If Mars and Venus rule, they will give dyers, pharmacists, masters of tin and lead, silver and gold, dancers with weapons, pharmacists, cultivators, doctors who treat with medicines;
- if Saturn testifies, they will take care of sacred animals, will be sextons when choosing a profession, mourners and musicians at funerals, enthusiasts dealing with sacraments, mourning and blood;
- if Jupiter gives evidence, then they should be priests, soothsayers, guardians of shrines, rulers of women, interpreters, and those who live by occupations of this kind.
Signs in which the lord of the profession is located in the horoscope
In addition, the properties of the signs in which the ruler of the profession is located determine the type of profession; human contribute to all sciences and activities that are associated with people; and quadrupeds 10 incline towards metal work, trade, construction, blacksmithing and carpentry; tropical signs and equinoxes - to interpretation, activities related to measurement and exchange, agriculture and priesthood; earth and water signs - to activities related to water and near water, collecting medicinal plants and shipbuilding.
On the other hand, if the Moon itself is responsible for the profession and has, together with Mercury, an aspect from Mars or the Sun, in Taurus, Capricorn, and Cancer it will give clerics and priests; in Sagittarius and Pisces - mourners and those possessed by the devil; in Virgo and Scorpio - wizards, astrologers, oracles, predictors; in Libra, Aries and Leo - enthusiasts, dream interpreters, sorcerers.
In this way, different types of professions are recognized; but the degree of inclination towards them is determined by the strength of the governing stars; being eastern or angular, they will make the profession important, but being western or distant from the angular, they will make it secondary.
If the positive indicators in the horoscope are strong, then the occupation will be serious, meaningful, sustainable, bringing glory and happy. If the ruler of the profession has unfavorable indicators, the occupation will be secondary, inglorious, unprofitable and unreliable.
In astrology, Saturn counteracts with coldness and confusion of colors, while Mars counteracts with insolence and divulging secrets; and both oppose the perfection of the profession; but the main point of success or failure in an activity depends on the location of the stars that give the corresponding effect in relation to the eastern and western corners of the horoscope.
Nowadays, many people are interested in astrology. For some, interest develops into love. A person begins to devote more and more time to astrology and accumulates a significant amount of knowledge. At some point, the practice of astrology becomes an integral part of life. And sooner or later the question arises: “Shouldn’t I change my profession and become astrologer?»
The profession of an astrologer in our society usually means profession of astrologer-consultant, who makes his living by interpreting horoscopes for clients. But along with this aspect of professional astrology, there are others: writers who practice astrology professionally also write books on the theory of astrology, but do not give consultations; and translators of astrological texts, and astrology teachers, and developers of astrological computer programs. If you intend to make money from an astrological practice, you need to realize what aspect of professional astrological activity attracts you most: scientific research, philosophy, improving the methods of practical astrology, developing astrological computer programs, working with people as a consultant. Many astrologers successfully combine most facets of this profession in their practice, but many are limited to only a few.
An important question is whether it is possible, by professionally practicing astrology, to earn as much as I currently earn with my main profession. Can I confidently quit my day job, devote myself completely to astrology and live off these activities? In a word, can I realize myself in profession of astrologer?
If you are already familiar with astrology so much that you can interpret your own chart yourself, this article will help you determine to what extent the profession of an astrologer-consultant is suitable for you.
For professional astrology in any case requires a certain cultural level, including deep knowledge in the field of religion, mythology, philosophy, history, literature and art, cultural studies, psychology.
Directly for practicing astrology you need the following qualities:
Rational thinking, clarity of mind, logic, the ability to analyze and verify the correctness of judgment with facts (Mercury in a strong position in the house and in a favorable aspect with Saturn, Uranus or Neptune, the latter must have a strong position in the chart).
Ability to express oneself clearly (Mercury in a strong position in the house, in a favorable aspect with Mars, Jupiter or Uranus).
Interest in scientific and psychological research (strong Uranus and Pluto in major aspects with personal planets or pronounced Scorpio and Aquarius in the chart).
Ability to synthesize (the strong Sun favorably aspected by Jupiter; Leo or Sagittarius are expressed in the chart; Jupiter in a strong position has aspects to personal planets).
Caution, prudence, lack of arrogance and unfounded optimism (a square of Jupiter with the Sun or Mercury, as well as any aspects indicating a strong thirst for power, for example, a conjunction or square of the Sun with Pluto, a conjunction or square of the Moon with Pluto, are undesirable).
Points that must be taken into account when analyzing suitability for the profession of an astrologer-consultant.
Moon and driving need
More than a hundred years ago, Noel Thiel, one of the most prominent astrologers in the United States, formulated a general approach to integrating the theory of psychological needs and astrological data.
He states that the zodiac sign in which the Moon is located in a person’s birth horoscope describes “ the leading need" of the individual. The Moon in the sign symbolizes motivation: “What do I want?” And the position of the Moon in the house symbolizes the circumstances in which a person will be comfortable realizing his motivation: “Where do I want?” The symbolism of the sign in which the Sun is located in the chart indicates the style in which a person will demonstrate his creative abilities, his vitality, in order to satisfy the leading need of the Moon. The symbolism of the house of the Sun will indicate the circumstances under which a person’s vitality will manifest itself most actively. The symbolism of the position of the Sun speaks of the driving force of all human development. The planets reflect various aspects, or tendencies, of behavior corresponding to certain secondary needs, which are in a subordinate position in relation to the satisfaction of the leading need. The characteristics of the sign and house in which Mercury is located show in what style and under what circumstances our thought process should take place in order to be as effective as possible. Venus - what relationships we need to be in with other people in order to feel included in social life. Mars - what kind of energy do we need to be able to function at the peak of our practical abilities.
Jupiter and Saturn are planets of the macrosocial level. Not all people have personal achievements that are significant for the whole society. And not all people who managed to do something significant in terms of the development of society can benefit from its gratitude or achieve a high social position, officially recognized status and honors. Therefore, we consider these planets as an opportunity to interact with society at a level that goes beyond narrow personal interests only when they have connections in the birth chart with the personal planets of the horoscope - the Moon, Sun, Mercury, Venus, Mars.
The planets of the transpersonal level - Uranus, Neptune and Pluto - act at the level of the generation of people. Without major aspects with personal planets in the chart, a person may not feel their influence on his destiny. If they have aspects to personal planets in the birth chart, they greatly complicate their personal life and force them to look for unusual, unconventional paths in life. Such people find themselves personally deeply involved in the destinies of the world and feel their special calling. This calling cannot always be realized in a more or less harmonious form. Especially under the age of 40-45 years.
Since we spend most of our waking hours, about 60% (as well as many hours of sleep) at work, it should be assumed that, firstly, the atmosphere, pace, energy, growth stimuli and imaginative surroundings of our work should make it possible to satisfy our leading motivation, expressed in the symbolism of the position of the Moon in the sign. Secondly, it is natural that the position of the Moon in the house shows the focus of the strongest need of our life on a certain area of experience, and this position of the Moon in the house significantly influences the experience satisfaction with your job.
When choosing a profession, we, first of all, care about satisfying the lunar need (although we also take into account other symbols of motivation). We string onto the lunar need, as a core, our other needs, which are indicated by other indicators of the horoscope.
For example, if a forty-year-old woman, a bank employee, decides to become a family psychologist using astrology in her practice, we first look at the position of her Moon in the chart. Having discovered that the Moon is in the sign of Pisces, in the 4th house, in opposition to Uranus, you need to ask her a personal question: is she married, does she have children, what is her relationship with her parents, does she have her own home, does she like it, etc. If there are negative answers to these personal questions, we can talk about an attempt to find comfort and a sense of security in the profession of a psychologist, since it was not possible to find them in the sphere of family life. This is a dangerous situation, because in this case a person is trying to compensate for his dissatisfaction with life as a whole with a local action - a change of profession. She wants to deal with similar problems of other people without solving her own. Naturally, if she were to engage in her astropsychological practice, based on personal experience in the field of family relationships, it would be destructive for the client. Uranus in the 10th house is a “terrible” figure for one of the parents (or both), which prevented them from establishing their own family life. If you sort out your problems with your parents, most likely there will be no need to change your profession. It’s another matter if this woman gives positive answers to the above personal questions. Of course, she should change her profession (provided that there are astrological indications in the chart that she can provide herself with a decent income by doing astrological business).
Obstacles on the way to such a seemingly simple solution - first to solve personal problems, and then to engage in an unusual profession - are due to the fact that the Moon, aspected by the transpersonal planet, refuses to recognize the importance for itself of “simple human happiness”, universal human basic needs as the main ones. A person is drawn to solve problems of a planetary nature, bypassing personal, everyday problems. Ordinary everyday worries disgust him; they are boring and unimportant. Often such a person is simply crazy, and people with intact instincts intuitively avoid communicating with him. But for others, attracted by his originality, unearthly charm and magical power over the world around him, he can become a real black teacher in life.
Therefore, the indicators for the professions of an astrologer, psychotherapist, and healer in the birth horoscope are of a dual nature. On the one hand, only one whose transpersonal planets aspect personal ones can become an effective professional in this field; on the other hand, these same aspects indicate a person’s tendency to wild behavior, absurd antics, isolation from the real world, a desire to remake the world in his own way, and difficulties with empathy. Therefore, all professions of this kind are a highly individualized art, in which the personality of the professional plays a decisive role. A person in such a profession will be as effective in it as he is in his own life. Therefore, when choosing an astrologer, psychotherapist, healer, look at how much you like his lifestyle. Ask yourself if you would like to live the same way. Look at his relationships with loved ones, with society as a whole, with the state; Is he free enough within the framework of his financial situation?
Dear potential astrologers, psychotherapists and healers! Direct your genius, parapsychological abilities, magical gift, first of all, to solving your own everyday and family problems, first improve your health, learn to provide yourself with material wealth, take care of the mental and physical health of those who live next to you, and when the level your personal life will be comfortable enough not only for you, but also for your loved ones, go to people. Before that, don’t try to solve your personal problems at someone else’s expense and at a different level and make money by selling crude, low-quality, dubious goods to naive ordinary people. By doing this you harm not only yourself, but also undermine the authority of the esoteric and human sciences.
Moon position in a sign
The most general instructions for leading need, symbolized by the position of the Moon in the sign, may sound like this:
Moon in Aries- the need for personal significance, to be the most important ego. It can manifest itself openly or hide behind fantasies and secret disappointments. The need to act on your own, to be a pioneer.
Moon in Taurus- this is a deep need for material wealth, well-being, comfort, even to the point of resistance to change as a threat to the usual state of affairs.
Moon in Gemini- the need for diversity, for communication, the need to be heard.
Moon in Cancer- a huge need for personal security and safety, a very great value for a person - personal space, a native corner, a house where he lives.
Moon in Leo- the need to shine and reign generously, to be the center of attention, to enjoy life, to have fun, to have fun, to create in general.
Moon in Virgo- the need to be correct, to be precise, hygienic, healthy.
Moon in Libra- the need for beauty, harmony, peace, equal partnership, and strategic efficiency.
Moon in Scorpio- the need to experience intense, deep experiences, to explore hidden things, to plunge into the unknown, to free oneself from heavy emotional burdens, to change deeply and irreversibly, to overcome marginal states, to be reborn to life at a new level.
Moon in Sagittarius- the need to find meaning in life, expand your horizons, and have more opportunities.
Moon in Capricorn- the need to be resilient and patient. Spend resources sparingly by participating in long-term difficult programs in order to adequately complete what you started. The need to fulfill one's duty.
Moon in Aquarius- the need for freedom, independence, preservation of one’s individuality in a team, among friends and like-minded people.
Moon in Pisces- the need to dive into the depths of the collective unconscious, to dream, to fantasize.
The sign in which the Sun is located, will show what energy a person uses to satisfy his leading need, i.e. in what style he will express his creativity in order to achieve satisfaction of deep motivation.
When choosing a profession, when performing everyday work, the leading deep motivation should not be neglected. Our work environment must accept this need in us and treat it with respect, otherwise we will quickly become unbearably frustrated.
In an instant, one can understand the symbolism of the Moon in Aquarius and the Sun in Cancer in the horoscope of the United States: here the need is for the progressive freedom-loving aspirations of the state to be realized through concern for the safety and security of citizens. The Statue of Liberty perfectly reflects the peculiar humanistic disposition of the state and its sensitivity to emotional experiences and fear of losing security: “All who suffer, come to me, under my protection, here you can breathe freely.”
Having understood the leading need of a person, it is possible to foresee forms of behavior that serve to satisfy it. And observations of people in this case will not be estimates, but only the results of astrological analysis. You may remember Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis with her Moon in Aries, using the energy of the Sun in Leo: she was the “first lady” all her life. Think for a moment about the Fish Moons of Edgar Allan Poe, who died an alcoholic before being recognized for his refined creative gifts; Martin Luther King, whose life's work was dedicated to saving a tortured dream.
Thus, the qualities that a consulting astrologer will strive to realize in accordance with sign of the moon's position:
Aries - waywardness and selfishness, a tendency to voluntarism, aggressiveness, hot temper, courage, risk-taking.
Taurus - peasant practicality, practicality, down-to-earth, material orientation.
Gemini - curiosity, talkativeness, awareness.
Cancer - receptivity, sensitivity and sentimentality, caring, pity, maternal feelings.
Leo - cheerfulness, pride, cheerfulness, enthusiasm, nobility and generosity.
Virgo - pedantry, analyticalness, cleanliness, accuracy, desire to organize everything.
Libra - tolerance, politeness, good manners, peacefulness, diplomacy, strategic efficiency, a sense of harmony and style.
Scorpio - insight, corrosiveness, disdain, love of science.
Sagittarius - optimism, sublimity, idealism, generosity, charity.
Capricorn - wisdom in approaching difficulties, reliability, sense of duty, desire to achieve the final result.
Aquarius - scientific knowledge of the world, love of freedom, originality, independence, genius, wildness, ingenuity, passion for abstract ideas.
Pisces - mysticism, mercy, the need to save, fantasy, daydreaming.
Moon position in the house
In 1st house: When the Moon is located in the 1st house, it emphasizes the importance of individuality for a person, his desire to “do everything his own way.” And in work, a person’s position, as a rule, is more individualistic than oriented towards partnership and cooperation. All experiences are interpreted by a person as relating directly to his personality. His reactions are also highly individualistic.
In the 2nd house: With the Moon in the 2nd house, a person usually requires a work situation in which his own importance, worth, personal dignity, talents and abilities can be brought to the fore. A person needs to have his work evaluated often.
In the 3rd house: The Moon in the 3rd house emphasizes the importance of communication: a person strives to satisfy the need to be an intermediary, to realize his ability to persuade and advertise. A person has a need to collect information, share it and receive feedback.
In the 4th house: The Moon in the 4th house values a work environment that is reminiscent of home and a family spirit in the team: everyone cares about each other, supports, sympathizes, and is privy to each other’s personal affairs. Or a person simply needs work at home, at home.
In the 5th house: It is important for a person with such a Moon to satisfy his need for strong dramatic experiences. He is drawn to children, attracted to creativity in any form. It is important for him that there is an element of adventurism, passion, play, and entertainment in his work.
In the 6th house: The Moon in the 6th house suggests deep absorption in work, which easily becomes an all-consuming activity and an end in itself. If one job is not enough to fill the entire time, there may be two or more of them. Workaholics often come from here.
In the 7th house: As the Moon rises above the horizon, relationships with other people begin to appear in its symbolism. With the Moon in the 7th house, a professional situation should usually involve being in public, being a partner, being clearly aware of the expectations of others. Often, the feeling of security in a work situation increases due to marriage.
In the 8th house: The Moon in the 8th house encourages professional activities related to dependence on the resources of other people - this could be the work of a broker, consultant, restorer, reformer. Additional features: connection of the profession with mysticism; with research activities; with sexuality; with religiosity.
In the 9th house: with the Moon in the 9th house, individuality is ready to dissolve in work. The “I” strives to identify with philosophical systems; with ideas and programs of educational institutions; with currents coming from abroad; Finally, with the big picture. This helps the individual feel comfortable in the professional world.
In the 10th house: Here the Moon symbolizes the need to take a leadership position in a long-term difficult process from beginning to end result. A free schedule is most suitable when time works to achieve a goal, when there is nothing in the work that would be perceived as a formality that does not affect anything. Individualism is emphasized to such an extent that it is difficult for a person to endure a subordinate position in work.
In the 11th house: with the Moon in the 11th house, the circle of friends is significant for a person in the sense that through the participation of friends a person can get a job, enjoy it, stay in it and appreciate it. This is the need to be in a team, united by an interest in some abstract idea.
In the 12th house: in the 12th house, the Moon shows that the person will feel comfortable being “behind the scenes.” Someone else is on stage. The position of a “gray eminence”, when due to professional activities you have to keep many things secret.
Naturally, Alfred Hitchcock, who directed the performing skills of others into the mainstream of presenting mystical dramas, had the Moon in the 8th house; that Greta Garbo, who strove for loneliness and never gave an interview during her long career as a “star,” had the Moon in the 12th house; that for John F. Kennedy it was located in the 11th house, for Bobby Kennedy - in the 10th, like the United States.
Eastern planet.
I mean the planet rising above the horizon just before the Sun. It doesn’t matter how far they are from each other, the main thing is that there are no other planets between them.
The Eastern planet allows you to quickly formulate a hypothesis about the style of action that a person adheres to, trying to satisfy the leading need in work and in life in general. Venus and Mercury, which are always located relatively close to the Sun, often find themselves in the position of the eastern planet, the value of which then decreases compared to if any other planet is eastern. Mercury is especially uninformative in this sense.
Mercury can promote the need to dot the i's, make corrections and put things in order, and pay great attention to detail. There is also a need to follow clearly defined expectations and procedures at work.
If the eastern planet is Venus, we can say that a person needs his professional function to be personalized in some way. For him, an assessment of his work is an assessment of his personality, which a person may find difficult to agree with or difficult to accept. Often, eastern Venus promotes working with valuables, such as jewelry or high fashion items. This is a frequent signature in the cards of movie stars, whose screen image for the viewer is identified with their personal persona, as well as artists (Van Gogh, Picasso, Gauguin, Dali, Modigliani).
If the eastern planet happens to be any other than Mercury and Venus, it becomes of great importance in the astrological analysis of professional abilities.
The Eastern Moon indicates a team coach, teacher, manager; perhaps even a prophet. The person feels the need to tell others a lot about what is happening or what people should do. There is a tendency to preach, and ideally the job should provide such an opportunity. The Eastern Moon is found in Frank Sinatra, Arthur Schlesinger, Dick Clark, and Norman Rockwell.
Due to its speed, Eastern Mars often makes itself felt as an eastern planet. This position gives a person a strong desire to promote himself, to declare himself quite noisily; it gives you the ability to loudly extol your work. A person is very prone to advertising himself or something related to his activities. Vivid examples of eastern Mars: John Carson, Dinah Shore, Lyndon Johnson, Evel Knievel, Liberace.
Eastern Jupiter calls to take the easy path in work. A person likes to do his job quickly - this attracts the attention of others to how wonderful he is in control of the situation. Good examples are John F. Kennedy, Richard Nixon, USA, Bob Hope.
East Saturn speaks of patience. These are internal consistency, mature approaches, a high internal rating of long-term efforts, as well as the ability to be in an isolated position. Examples: Ralph Nader, Martin Luther King.
Eastern Uranus gives a style of work characterized by a desire for ventures that are risky, innovative, uncertain in terms of outcome, experimental. Diversity and even danger are attractive to humans. Work should serve as a release valve for nervous tension. If it is not one, there is a high probability that the desire to have an excited state will make itself felt in some side activity, hobby, or way of spending leisure time. Eastern Uranus appears in the charts of El Cordobes, Jimmy Hoffa, Orville Wright, Lorna Greene, and Ronald Reagan.
Eastern Neptune gives a person the desire for excellence in work. Dreams and images play an important role in finding and organizing work. Julie Andrews became famous for her film roles, which were in harmony with her expressive style, due to eastern Neptune; Wilbur Wright became an aeronautics pioneer; Science fiction author Immanuel Velikovsky and Julia Child also became pioneers in their fields.
Pluto East brings an interesting stimulus to professional situations that needs to be taken into account: a person is attracted to opportunities to increase his importance through joining someone, especially prominent individuals. Therefore, he needs a professional environment that would give him power and personal status. If work does not provide such opportunities, that is, it does not bring you together with famous people and therefore does not allow you to intensely feel your own significance through communication with significant people (or participation in solving significant problems), then the need for some kind of life style that is important for a person does not find satisfaction.
Merv Griffin is a great example of an eastern Pluto. This performer has become extremely rich and famous thanks to other celebrities. He "collected" them for his talk shows. Thanks to his extraordinary insight, he skillfully used every chance to increase fame and gain profit.
In the life styles of ordinary people, the manifestation of eastern Pluto often looks like pride in their significant acquaintances. These people even derive some sense of self-realization from meeting local politicians and famous athletes; some even collect celebrity memorabilia. Behind all this is the need to increase personal status through affiliation. If she is satisfied in her work, great. If not, the person will try to find another job or arrange his social life in such a way as to achieve what he wants.
In the profession of an astrologer-consultant, it is important that the desire for personal self-affirmation does not turn the client into an object of such self-affirmation. All positions of the Eastern planet, except Mercury or Venus, will require additional efforts from the consulting astrologer to monitor and prevent possible attempts at personal self-affirmation on the client.
Note: The article is based on quotes from a collection of articles edited by Noel Thiel “How to use astrology for success in business and a successful choice of profession”, Editorial Board of the magazine “Urania”, Moscow, 1998. Translation from English by T. S. Drabkina. In Volume 1, Noel Thiel's article, “Special Indicators for Professional Counseling,” on page 69, uses Frank Sinatra as an example of the Moon rising just before the Sun. And on page 68, as an example of Mars rising immediately before the Sun, there is the example of Lyndon Johnson. Frank Sinatra's eastern planet (December 12, 1915) is on Mercury itself, not the Moon, as it is written in this textbook: Sun 20 Sagittarius, Mercury 18 Sagittarius, Moon in Pisces. There is an error in the textbook if it is about this Frank Sinatra and not some other one. Lyndon Johnson (eng. Lyndon Baines Johnson) August 27, 1908, Stonewall, Gillespie County, Texas - January 22, 1973, ibid.) - 36th President of the United States from the Democratic Party from November 22, 1963 to January 20, 1969: Sun 4 Virgo, Mars 2 Virgo, Jupiter 27 Leo. There is no mistake in the textbook: the eastern planet in this chart is indeed Mars.
A planet that has no aspects.
The old astrological term “overgnation,” which refers to a planet with no aspects, comes from the Latin word for “foreigner.” The adjective derived from this noun denotes a tendency to wander. In astrology, an unaspected planet, or peregrine, is a planet that has no major aspects (which include conjunction, sextile, square, trine, and opposition) to any other planet in the chart. It is believed that an unaspected planet tends to drag the rest of the horoscope with it. For example, Jonathan Winters, an extremely creative entertainer with a penchant for comedy and sound effects and also a painter, has unaspected Mercury in Sagittarius. The unrelenting intensity of his communication is something remarkable.
So, non-aspect indicates that the planet is not connected with the other elements of the horoscope and can freely express itself without restrictions. At the same time, there is evidence that unaspected planets do often appear in people’s lives. However, a fundamental question arises: how did it happen that in determining non-aspectlessness we take into account only the so-called major aspects? What if a planet forms a semi-square, sesquiquadrate, semi-sextile or quincunx with another planet? What if it has undoubted aspects to the Ascendant, or the Zenith, or both? We don’t yet know the answers to all these questions, but planets unaspected in the classical sense—those without major aspects—really play a special role in the chart. Their symbolism stands out noticeably in behavior, in individual needs, in life style and, undoubtedly, should be taken into account when choosing a profession.
It is interesting that very often, when the Sun is unaspected, the above-mentioned tendency to drag the entire horoscope along with itself is not manifested at all; rather, it seems that professionally a person cannot “resonate” with himself. The classic exception to this rule has always been Louis 14, known in history as the Sun King (regardless of astrology), who ruled France for 72 years. His birth chart was accurately calculated by Maureen de Villefranche, the court astrologer. The Sun of Louis 14 in the sign of Virgo in the 10th house has no aspects. According to his characteristics, Louis was a Virgo from head to toe, to this was added the arrogance of the Sun in the 10th house, reaching an incredible degree (Venus conjunct the Moon in Leo in opposition to Saturn and square to the ascending Jupiter in Scorpio, and that's not all). Birth details: September 5, 1638, 11:11 local mean time, Saint-Germain. After the discovery of the planet Neptune in the 19th century, the Sun of Louis 14 finds itself in a sextile aspect to Neptune, which probably explains the previously incomprehensible exclusivity of the unaspected Sun of Louis.
An unaspected planet will indicate some need that will dominate in a person along with his deep motivating need, indicated by the position of the Moon. The sign in which the unaspected planet is located will dictate the style of manifestation of its qualities, and the house will dictate the sphere of life in which it will strive to be realized.
If the Moon turns out to be unaspected, then this will only strengthen its significance as a motivating need in a person’s life.
Unaspected Venus gives a person the desire to be beautiful in the sense that he himself puts into the concept of beauty. It is important for a person to know the price of everything from different points of view. For a person, his secular, social life and involvement in the world of beauty are of great importance: art, show business, high fashion, decorations and accessories, jewelry. It is very important for him to be highly regarded in certain circles as an expert in the above areas and a person with good taste. A person loves compliments, especially subtle flattery. He will try to surround himself with prestigious things, against which he will look attractive.
Unaspected Mars gives a desire for excellence in some practical activity. A person wants to do something that will allow him to stand out. These are all areas of activity related to energy, except nuclear. The whole range of energetic influences on anything is presented here - from the subtle manipulations of a surgeon and jeweler to the satisfaction of bringing a sledgehammer down on a crutch.
Unaspected Jupiter makes a person seek rewards and recognition - both in work and in life in general. It is very important for him to feel that he has ample opportunities, prospects, that he can afford to be generous and magnanimous, because... behind him stands the powerful force of tradition, religion, philosophy, on which he relies in his activities. We are not talking about world fame and fame here. It is important for a person to be adored by at least one person and to feel a sense of sincere gratitude and respect for him.
Unaspected Saturn makes it important for a person to have a constant sense of fulfillment of duty. This person needs to feel part of some well-organized structure, which includes many responsible people doing important things. At the political level, this could be the profession of a diplomat. In the field of economics, a person can be the head of a major enterprise or serve on the board of directors of an international corporation. For an ordinary person, this aspect can manifest itself in his increased attention to everything that, from his point of view, requires a responsible approach and long-term systematic efforts.
Unaspected Uranus will give a person an irresistible craving for everything original, including in his own manifestations. People are interested in advanced technologies and all sorts of inexplicable phenomena. Most often, it happens that at the age when a person needs to decide on the choice of profession, the profession that he would like to master does not yet exist. A person will, perhaps, experiment with professions until he is forty (Uranus opposition) until he finds something he likes. If a person does not find a suitable profession for himself, then he may have an unusual hobby and hobby in which he can find satisfaction for his needs, which seem strange to others.
Unaspected Neptune gives a person the need to feel unusual emotional states. A person always strives to go into a fantasy world, where he really feels good. Shades and nuances, riddles and secrets are of great importance for a person. Modern professions that satisfy this need include professions related to the film industry, perfume production, painting, writing, and music. But not all people with unaspected Neptune become great musicians or artists. They have to find application points in ordinary routine professions to realize their refined inspiration.
Unaspected Pluto gives a person the need to be famous all over the world or at least involved with celebrities. It is important for a person to feel his power over something: he is the one who solves problems.
Duet.
In some charts there is a phenomenon where two planets have an aspect to each other, but neither of them has any more aspects to other planets. Such a pair of planets is called a “duet”. Its symbolism is close to the symbolism of an unaspected planet: the energy, which is the result of the synthesis of the interacting principles of the planets, exists in the horoscope as if as a separate energy center, isolated from the energies of the entire horoscope. The duet also creates tension that stimulates the person to satisfy the needs expressed by the symbolism of the planets of the duet. To imagine the motivations hidden in the duet, one should turn to the symbolism of its constituent planets as if they were unaspected.
Additional characteristics to the symbolism of the duet are introduced by the quality of the aspect that connects the planets with each other.
Conjunction: planets act like Siamese twins - as soon as the principle of one planet turns on, the principle of the other immediately turns on. For example, the duet of the Mars-Jupiter conjunction: as soon as a person finds himself in a situation where he is lucky, he is loved and is given patronage and protection, he immediately begins to feel that the patron is behaving rudely and arrogantly towards him. Naturally, a person becomes ungrateful towards his patron and tries to hurt him and punish him. The fact that the situation does not contribute to the satisfaction of other needs does not bother the person at this moment. With this constellation in the sign of Gemini in the 4th house, a person can work as a philosophical writer without leaving home and caring little about his other needs. At the same time, he does not set himself the goal of publishing a book and earning a fee; he even cares little about whether he will have readers. Here writing is an end in itself.
Sextile: as soon as the principle of one planet is turned on, it turns out that another planet, which at first glance has little to do with the matter, unobtrusively offers to master those of its principles that a person has not yet encountered, as if telling the person: if you learn this, then you will you will succeed and what you are currently striving for. For example, sextile Saturn-Jupiter: a person is very attracted to a certain area of knowledge that a person wants to master as soon as possible, but a situation immediately arises that shows the person that for successful learning he lacks such character qualities as concentration, perseverance, and a responsible attitude to learning. A person doesn’t really want to deal with his character, he wants to learn a foreign language, but in the end, in parallel with learning, he has to deal with the problems of his character. This activity can captivate a person so much that he will forget about why he needed knowledge of a foreign language and will treat learning as an end in itself.
Square: the inclusion of the principle of one planet is accompanied by an unfriendly invasion of the principle of another planet, which in every possible way interferes with the satisfaction of the need. For example, a square of the Moon with Venus: a woman strives to be beautiful, to have a high social position, to get married successfully, but as soon as a suitable partner is found, he begins to demand that she take care of the kitchen, housekeeping, serve him and satisfy his sexual needs, which are by no means don't seem beautiful to her. After the birth of a child, a woman completely turns into a cook, nanny, and laundress. When she understands this, she strives to regain her former beauty, social status and beautiful love, but this desire of hers encounters an obstacle in the form of household responsibilities and children who cannot be accommodated in the mezzanine. A woman can become so carried away by her desire to resolve the conflict between her family and social life that this problem will absorb her entirely: so all her life she will be busy with family affairs at work, and at home with social ones.
Opposition: the principles of the planets turn on simultaneously and, as it were, tear a person in different directions, requiring his attention, simultaneously directed to opposite positions. For example, the opposition of Mars with Saturn: as soon as a person decides to retire and outline the implementation of programs that are important to him, having built a strategy and tactics for long-term actions, he is bombarded by a company of friends who have come from afar and demand that he immediately take some action towards them. Or a person finally decides to concentrate and do the work that has accumulated and cannot be delayed, when suddenly he is struck down by an unexpected fever, after which he ends up in a hospital bed, where he has to deal with piercing and cutting medical instruments. The opposition acts like the oscillation of the scales - one side outweighs, then the other. And a person can fight restrictions all his life for the sake of the struggle itself, forgetting why he initially needed to remove the restrictions.
Thus, as you can see, for astrological consultation it is important that a person is not obsessed with some fixed idea, which is reflected in the presence of an unaspected planet (except for the Sun) or a duet in the birth chart, and is able to maintain absent-mindedness in order to adequately perceive client and be open-minded in finding a solution to his difficult situation. The presence of an unaspected planet in the horoscope of an astrologer-consultant will create difficulties for him in communicating with the client.
Synthesis sign.
The sign of synthesis is determined by the predominance of planets in the elements and crosses. It describes a person's general behavior style in most situations. Each zodiac sign traditionally corresponds to one of the professions. The sign of synthesis shows a number of professions, the occupation of which will most organically correspond to a person’s temperament.
The profession of a consulting astrologer requires inquisitiveness and a spirit of research, and it corresponds to the sign of Scorpio, in which Uranus, the ruler of astrology, culminates. Also, the profession of an astrologer-consultant involves human communication and psychological assistance, and is also associated with all scientific discoveries, progress and the future, and, naturally, it corresponds to the sign Aquarius, which is ruled by Uranus.
In ancient times, when the planet Uranus had not yet been discovered, the sign of Aquarius was ruled by Saturn, as was the sign of Capricorn. Saturn symbolizes the Wise Man. Ancient astrologers were called the Sages. The sign of Capricorn corresponds to professions that require the greatest rigor and accuracy: research scientist, mathematician. In ancient times, astrologers served emperors and kings; they did not need to delve into the psychological conflicts of their clients - they gave the ruler the results of their research dryly and impartially, and these facts had great power over the rulers, helping to manage the state and build cities, the glory of which has survived centuries. Therefore, the profession of an astrologer was fully consistent with the sign of Capricorn, under which the profession of an architect is also located: the ideal cities of medieval Europe were planned according to a special plan, the construction of the city was laid down at a certain time, calculated by astrologers.
Saturn culminates in Libra: the ancient astrologer served nobles, politicians and powerful intriguers, so he took care that his interpretations were tactful, loyal and at the same time fair. Such an astrologer had to be a diplomat and often be able to serve two masters at the same time.
Thus, the synthesis signs of Scorpio or Aquarius, or both of these signs, are important for an astrologer-consultant on personal problems, who will treat all clients equally attentively, regardless of their social and financial status. Also, these signs of synthesis promote a scientific approach to the world, scientific research, discoveries, independence from generally accepted postulates and authoritative opinions.
The sign of synthesis Capricorn is typical for a consulting astrologer working with politicians and groups. As a rule, such an astrologer is himself a member of a team of astrologers, because prefers collective research and collective responsibility. This is a characteristic sign of synthesis for a specialist in the field of mundane astrology.
The sign of synthesis Libra is characteristic of an astrologer who is interested in giving consultations to representatives of various privileged strata of society: he knows how to say exactly as much as is necessary to satisfy the client’s needs, without saying anything extra that could spoil relationships that are important to the astrologer. This position is typical for popularizers of astrology and writers - for effective consultation on personal problems they lack the independence of the sign of Aquarius - the feeling of their own elitism interferes, and the sign of Scorpio lacks self-confidence - snobbery and dependence on the opinion of society interfere.
The remaining signs in the role of the sign of synthesis represent a neutral position in the profession of an astrologer-consultant.
Zenit is the leading indicator.
Zenith indicators (MC - target medium, cusp of the Tenth house of the horoscope) are extremely reliable indicators of professional inclinations. They make our search more focused, limiting it within the framework of perceived needs, environmental demands and style of personal expression in relation to our own goals.
The astrological schools of the 20th century are unanimous that a planet located within about five degrees of the MC is especially strong, even if it falls in the 9th house. Michel Gauquelin statistically proved this in his amazing study, which was carried out in the late 50s and 60s. The complete data and results of Gauquelin's research in the field of astrological statistics, specially focused on professions and temperament, character and success, filled 13 volumes! As material for his research, Gauquelin used about 27,000 carefully analyzed birth data of various professionals, of whom approximately 60% were famous and very successful people, and 40% belonged to the same professions, but did not achieve particularly outstanding success in their professional expression. The main professions featured were sports, acting, science and literature. Gauquelin described the previously known character and temperament traits of all his “subjects” in carefully compiled tables. The main goal was to identify correlations between major professional success, temperament and astrology.
Gauquelin's data, obtained at the cost of incredible research efforts, raises the question of a non-trivial fact: particularly sensitive zones directly above the Ascendant (12th house) and Zenith (9th house) indicate success and a strong influence of temperament on behavior in accordance with the planet involved. Unfortunately, Gauquelin did not determine the size of these zones, but it has been the practice among astrologers for a number of years to assign them 10 degrees.
This importance of cadent houses for success in a profession is explained by the fact that the key planet of the natal chart located in these houses will make a progression (symbolic direction 1 degree = 1 year) through the Angle point during the early years of life, which are fundamentally important for the formation of a person. Psychological research has clearly demonstrated the importance of the early years of development, and our astrology is not lagging behind.
Gauquelin’s presentation of material on the topic of success, collected mainly by Alain Gerard, is extremely interesting: most people who are successful in life come from socially privileged families. According to studies conducted in France and the United States, two-thirds of famous people come from the five percent of the population, consisting primarily of the wealthiest and most intelligent members of society. These facts further emphasize the importance of the MC axis as the parent axis and the Ascendant axis as a derivative of the parental MC axis.
Gauquelin presented data from which the second success factor was derived: internal motivation. These are psychological ties that bind us to the hour of our birth and the positions of key planets in or outside special zones. He showed that in order to achieve anything, we must “fully mobilize our personality” and that it is precisely the “difference of character” that stands between, for example, successful and unsuccessful athletes. And it is connected with the planetary position, of course, a special one - a dramatic emphasis on key planets in key positions!
So we moved from statistics to holism - to a person mobilizing his whole self in order to become all that he can become. As we grow to our potential, everything in us is activated to accomplish the task. Astrology shows this process.
The profession of an astrologer is ruled by the planet Uranus. It would be logical to assume that in order for a person at a tender age, when his personality is developing, to awaken an interest in science in general and in everything that will ultimately lead him to a professional engagement in the science of stars, Uranus would have to located in the 9th or 12th house of the birth horoscope.
Planets aspecting Zenith.
The exact major aspects of a planet to the MC will show the methods that a person will resort to in order to achieve a high position and make a career. The character of these planets will show what qualities of his character he will display and what people he will interact with along this path. If the MC does not have major aspects, you should look at the minor aspects, but keep in mind that they will only be significant if this planet has major aspects of other planets or luminaries. So, for example, the square of Pluto to the MC shows a strong desire to become famous by realizing oneself in a career, for example, as a healer; To achieve this, a person will strive to enlist the support of celebrities, although due to the conflicting nature of the relationship with them will always be in danger of breaking. And the angle of the MC to Mars, along with a sesquiquadrate to Saturn, indicates that a person will persistently and persistently move towards fulfillment in a career, for example, as an entrepreneur, constantly balancing on the brink of patience and activity, although this will not be obvious to an outside observer.

Position of the planet ruling the 10th house
The planet that rules the sign on the cusp of the 10th house is called the MC lord planet. Her character will show the role a person will play in order to achieve results in his career. A sign is a person’s style of behavior in a given role. Position in the house is an area of life where this role would be appropriate. Aspects of this planet will show the nature of relationships with other people and the roles that these people will play in the development of a person’s career. For example, the ruler of the 10th house Mercury in Libra in the 1st house is sextile to Mars and trine to Saturn: in order to achieve fulfillment in the career field, this person will act as an information collector and analyst. Other people are very important to his career. He will communicate with people in the style that is customary in the social stratum of which they are representatives, observing all the rules of cultural behavior characteristic of this stratum, while remaining independent of the influence of the behavioral style of his opponents and partners. However, most likely, he will not find himself among people with whom he will have nothing to talk about at the level of communication that is characteristic of himself. He will engage in communication only if it affects the sphere of his personal interests. His interlocutors will be people, on the one hand, endowed with some kind of authority associated with responsibility, and on the other, energetic and active. He prefers not to communicate with people who are inconsistent, who do not keep their word and who do not know how to complete the work they have started. The person’s speech will be expressive, with pressure, and energetic. He loves topics related to history and antiquity, allowing him to glean something from past experience that is practically useful for today. In realizing his career, he is helped by a successful combination of intelligence with wisdom and the opportunity to constantly master practical skills, the need for which arises as his career grows.
Position of the ruler of the 10th house in the sign:
In Aries: the person behaves energetically. The source of his success in his career is his willingness to take risks and determination. He is impatient to make a career and is vain. Selfishness and voluntarism interfere.
In Taurus: the person behaves with restraint, traditionally. Prefers stability in climbing the career ladder, choosing familiar, well-trodden paths. Sluggishness and slow-wittedness interfere.
In Gemini: a person behaves like an intellectual, relying on knowledge and awareness. Ascent in a career occurs along an intricate curve, replete with unexpected turns and pirouettes. Superficiality and the desire to do several things at the same time get in the way.
In Cancer: a person behaves with others caringly and sympathetically. In order to achieve a high position in his career, he enlists the support of his family and relies on the traditions of his homeland. An overly emotional attitude to work and the desire to establish close personal relationships with colleagues and superiors interfere.
In Leo: a person behaves demonstratively, tries to be noble and bright. The source of his career advancement is his irrepressible ambitions, dreams of greatness, fame and honors. The desire to please everyone without exception and to participate in all shows at the same time gets in the way.
In Virgo: a person behaves pedantically, scrupulously approaches work and responsibilities. The source of his high position is his ability to work hard. Here, a career was built with your own hands. Boredom and the habit of criticizing everything get in the way.
In Libra: a person behaves like a diplomat, pays attention to the rules of etiquette, tries to be polite and delicate. He understands that his career depends mainly on his environment: partners, allies, clients, open enemies, companions. Arrogance and elitism get in the way.
In Scorpio: style of behavior can be both elegant and shocking. Man is driven by an unshakable, almost animal desire for independence. Any goals are achieved only through struggle, confrontation, denial: this is the classic type of rebel and underground fighter. Touchiness and resentment interfere with your career.
In Sagittarius: style of behavior - luxurious, authoritative, imposing, generous. Career success is associated with obtaining higher education, connections with foreigners, and knowledge of the culture of different countries and times. A strong desire for reward and recognition gets in the way.
In Capricorn: style of behavior - restraint to the point of dryness, severity, adherence to the laws of hierarchy. The engine of social elevation and career growth is boundless vanity, extraordinary will, and careerism. Conservatism and closeness to everything new, an obsession with the established order of things once and for all, hinder one’s career.
In Aquarius: style of behavior - strangeness, wildness, the person gives the impression of being “not of this world”, “on his own wavelength”. The key to his success is innovation, the use of progressive working methods, attention to original ideas and advanced technologies. The mobility of communications is of great importance. A penchant for utopian ideas gets in the way of a career.
In Pisces: style of behavior is amorphous, somewhat “frostbitten”, dreamy. A person works well if he manages to catch a wave of inspiration and stay on it. Inconsistency gets in the way; persistent, focused efforts are very difficult.
Position of the ruler of the 10th house in the house:
IN 1: The main key to success is doing something that falls within your personal interests. Then the person becomes very active, looks professional, everyone feels the strength of his personality, charm and reliability.
In 2: a person makes a career for money. He should not agree to a job with a low salary and, moreover, work without payment.
AT 3: Career paths include communication, information processing, mediation, writing, teaching, short trips, and a lot of movement.

Work also involves contact with children, sports, flirting, and financial adventures.
AT 6: To achieve success, a person must have good health and the opportunity to work where the results of his labor are visible.
AT 7: To succeed in your career you need a partner. This could be a marriage or a partner in business. This could be the sphere of public life, legal proceedings, diplomacy, consulting, development of subtle strategies, peacemaking, art.
AT 8: to succeed in a career, a person must be prepared to face various kinds of critical situations, the way out of which will be associated with the transformation of his personality and lifestyle; You will have to take risks and do deep research. This could be a career as a scientist, criminologist, detective, intelligence officer, surgeon, resuscitator, banking or insurance worker.
AT 9: To achieve success in a career, a person will have to master complex training programs and possibly travel and have connections abroad. This could be a career as a teacher at a higher educational institution, a publisher, a published writer, a religious figure, a philosopher, a philanthropist, or a capitalist.
AT 10 O'CLOCK: the situation is difficult, because career success depends on the principles of the planet, its status and aspects.
AT 11: In climbing the career ladder, friends and the team in which a person is located are of great importance. Careers involve team projects and teamwork. Perhaps with scientific research, advanced technologies, executive power in the state, reformism, modernization.
AT 12: For a successful career, a person needs to often be in solitude, hide something, and overcome fear. A career may be associated with staying in a foreign land, with closed institutions such as hospitals, prisons, and rehabilitation centers. This could be a career as an undercover agent, a humanistic psychologist, a mystic, a figure of high fashion and art, a cultural scientist, a historian of civilizations, or a specialist in the field of mythology.
Features of professional problems of people with higher planets in the 10th house
The most difficult thing is to choose a suitable profession for people who have higher planets in the 10th house: Uranus, Neptune, Pluto. A person with an emphasis on higher planets in the 10th house is often forced to limit himself to making a living in the 2nd house, relying only on the resources and skills associated with this house. In modern Western society there is no tradition of valuing and rewarding callings determined by the qualities of the higher planets. While people with higher planets in the 10th house believe that their professional calling is to pursue a career in exactly what corresponds to the qualities of these planets. They do not choose a profession for themselves - it is the profession that chooses them, “calls” them to serve. At the same time, it is known that these callings, as a rule, are somewhat out of this world, are mostly idealistic and cannot give a person the opportunity to achieve a high position in society and earn a decent wage for his work. These include non-traditional professional paths of adherents of esoteric professions, occult sciences, people of art, as well as political and environmental activists - supporters of alternative life styles. For these people, standard professional tests, which would classify approximately 90% of them as poets or artists, are practically useless.
In a nutshell, Uranian areas of activity include all areas of art and all innovative professions in science and technology, in the field of computers and other electronic information media; astrology; working with groups and teenagers; activities in politics and social movements. Neptunian professions are the creative and performing arts; This is ministry in prisons and hospitals, caring for chronically ill and pathologically dependent people. Plutonian fields include counseling, healing of various kinds; work related to death and dying; research, investigations, financial services. Within any professional sphere where the energy of a higher planet can be realized, there are many types of work for different levels of professionalism and education.
Thus, if a person does not have indicators for the profession of an astrologer-consultant, which would be evidenced by the Moon and the sign of synthesis, then the position of Uranus in the 10th house is not a sufficient basis for asserting that this person will feel successful and satisfied in the profession astrologer-consultant.
For people with higher planets in the 10th house, straight and fast career paths are not typical. Usually, until Saturn turns (29 years) or even longer, they try to follow the path of professional choices that are false for themselves. They often feel like pathetic losers and are tormented by the question of why they are not settled in life like others. The question is not without meaning: the fact is that only a balanced, mature person is able to manage the energies of the higher planets well. Eventually, after years of searching, some transit will activate their 6th or 10th house and they will find their calling. Often this involves a reassessment of life values and interests, as a result of which a person switches to an unconventional professional path.
The position of higher planets in the 10th house is sometimes accompanied by acute problems of relations with official government authorities, especially when these planets fall into the Gauquelin sector, which occupies 10 degrees on each side of the MC. These problems are completely natural for such people: they arise as a result of living with a severely dysfunctional or extraordinary parent, or as a result of the loss of a parent. When the higher planets are located in the 6th house, the directions of professional choice are the same, but if Uranus is not included, the problems of relations with authority are less acute. But professional difficulties associated with low self-esteem may be more pronounced.
Often the parents of such people also have the relationship of higher planets to the 6th or 10th house in their horoscope. It’s bad if they never managed to realize their abilities or ideas. Then it is almost certain that the parent's unfulfilled dream will play an important role in the child's professional history. On the one hand, a person tries with all his might to fulfill his parents’ dream, so that at least through him he “comes true.” On the other hand, a child does not have the right to achieve success so as not to surpass the parent. As a result, such a person simultaneously achieves and does not achieve - for example, he becomes an artist, musician or writer, as the parent wanted, but does not allow himself to obtain a high position in society and does not give himself the right to take high fees for his work, and barely makes ends meet . Outwardly, the parent is proud of his child, supports him and sympathizes with his aspirations. However, upon careful study of such relationships between parent and child, it is clear that the parent is jealous of the child’s achievements, secretly envies him, and suffers from his own inadequacy, which is obvious against the backdrop of the child’s successes. In the practice of astrology counseling, the dynamics described above show that it is rare that a child dares to succeed in fulfilling an unfulfilled parental dream.
Naturally, all this is not realized by the person himself - a person is rarely able to cope with the energies of the higher planets without the help of another person: a specialist consultant, a psychotherapist, a practical spiritual mentor.
Seeing Uranus or Pluto in the 10th house or in a tense aspect to the MC, we have every reason to conclude that it is better for a person to work independently, for himself. However, his unresolved relationship problems with authorities will not go away, even if he does not have a permanent boss.
A consulting astrologer with the position of the highest planet in the horoscope will have an attitude towards power that will manifest itself during sessions. Such astrologers especially have a strong need to be perceived by their clients as an authority, a guru, or something similar. An astrologer works for himself, he has no boss. But any astrologer's client is his boss, at least for the hour or two for which he hired him. And the consultant, unexpectedly for himself, may begin to fight with the client as a representative of authority or a boss. Of course, in this state of affairs, the scope for psychological games opens up wide. This has nothing to do with correcting the client’s psyche and real help in solving his problems.
For people whose horoscopes have the highest planet in the 10th house, quite often internal conflict is projected onto “them” - onto other people. Thus, an artist with Neptune in the 10th house may feel like a victim of the administration of an exhibition hall, a musician - that he is being bullied by show business managers. An astrologer with Uranus in the 10th house rebels against social restrictions in general and the astrological community in particular. Sometimes a rather grumpy healer with Pluto in the 10th house may have his own scores to settle with a whole host of “them,” but especially with the all-powerful state medical association.
The so-called “people of higher planets” and the midlife crisis
People whose natal chart has the higher planets located in the 10th house or have major aspects to the luminaries, or are ascending, or fall into the Gauquelin sector, or are in an angular position, or are an unaspected planet or are part of a duet configuration - in modern humanitarian astrology are called “people of the higher planets.”
It is not news that there is a connection between the cycles of the higher planets and the midlife crisis. The midlife crisis is due to the connection with the following aspects: Uranus opposition to natal Uranus, Neptune square to natal Neptune, Pluto to natal Pluto and Saturn opposition to natal Saturn. Every person at a certain age goes through this crisis, but people of higher planets usually experience it more acutely. Each of us receives in mid-life a chance to get rid of dysfunctional stereotypes associated with the manifestation of higher planets and eliminate the obstacles to personal self-realization caused by them.
In cases where Uranus, Neptune or Pluto are associated with professional houses in the natal chart, a midlife crisis is likely to lead to a change in profession or professional status. Many people with higher planets in these positions fail to find their true calling before this stage of life due to the lack of favorable conditions for the constructive creative expression of the energy of these planets. It should also be taken into account that when they entered professional life, society was not yet ready to accept the manifestation of these energies. Naturally, the range of relevant professions was limited; Some specialties that use the resources of the higher planets are only now being developed. It also happens that the internal need to follow the expectations of a parent or family responsibilities does not allow such people to devote themselves to their true calling from youth. Many callings due to the higher planets are, on the one hand, not easy to recognize; on the other hand, it is not easy to achieve true success in them without some experience and sophistication in the affairs of the real world.
With higher planets in professional houses, it is in the middle of life that sometimes there is an urgent need to find your true calling. As a result, a person begins to think about a new profession. And, as always before big changes, in this case he has to deal with gigantic resistance. The old job naturally seems easier, safer and more stable. But higher planets accentuate natal aspects for two or more years. During this time, resisting change becomes so painful that, in the end, a person literally has no choice but to move along a new path. The alternative is complete stagnation - just waiting for life to end.
By midlife, a person may well have fulfilled some obligations, so that some of the original barriers no longer exist. Perhaps the children have grown up; a parent who did not approve of the change died; Youthful adaptation disorders probably passed when the person matured or began to look at life more soberly. If this is a woman, it should be borne in mind that now certain professions have become available to women, which previously, in their youth, they could not even dream of. Finally, over many years a person could save the amount necessary to obtain an education in a new specialty. Some new professions may be much more suited to such a person's life purpose and abilities - professions that did not exist when he first entered college. It must be admitted that not only love, but also many other things turn out better the second time.
Consulting astrologer with the “adult children of alcoholics” syndrome.
The presence of a higher planet in the 10th house of the horoscope, as a rule, symbolizes a difficult relationship with one of the parents. Based on the fact that at least 25% of the population is affected by the problem of alcoholism, difficulties in relationships with a parent may be associated with this. Many astrologers and many of their clients are adult children of alcoholics or come from dysfunctional families. Such a personal story has a particularly strong impact on one’s professional career and relationships with authorities. A specific reaction to figures in authority that developed in childhood, due to the fact that the alcoholic parent (and often both parents) were unpredictable or destructive, is often carried over into adulthood. Since this reaction is formed to a large extent before the age of 5, children of alcoholics tend to build relationships with their superiors on the basis of protest, codependency or fear - just as they once did with an alcoholic parent.
To understand the mechanisms of professional career derailment, one must be well acquainted with the long-term effects of an alcoholic or other dysfunctional childhood environment. There are a number of family roles that are typical for children in alcoholic families: Family Hero, Lost Child, Scapegoat. They are often played out again and again in adult life, including at work, until their awareness and deprogramming occurs. In professional activities, such typical traits of alcoholics and their offspring may also appear, such as a sense of their own grandiosity and defiant behavior - manifestations of Neptune and Uranus, respectively. By reproducing dysfunctional behavior, weak rootedness in reality, adopted from their parents, even completely non-drinking children of alcoholics may be deprived of certain adaptive skills necessary to achieve success.
Astrologers with the “adult children of alcoholics” syndrome tend to become infected with a sense of grandiosity, defiance, lack of realism and inadequate assessment of their clients who suffer from the same “syndrome.” This sometimes affects the reasonableness of recommendations. Such astrologers may, for example, encourage clients to pursue reckless plans, unhealthy financial habits, or unrealistic career choices. Therefore, astrologers who came from a dysfunctional environment are deeply right when, for the sake of their clients, they read rehabilitation literature, go to groups of adult children of alcoholics, and generally do everything possible to free themselves and them from the consequences of childhood.
The connection between the profession of an astrologer-consultant and the opportunity to earn income from this profession.
It's no secret that the profession that we love and to which we devote ourselves with passion does not always bring in a lot of income or at least can provide the opportunity to minimally satisfy basic human needs. It’s good when a person knows in advance his possibilities for material support and has the opportunity to choose between material wealth and his favorite business. It’s bad when a person believes that he can make money in an area in which he has no astrological indications for this. This becomes a problem that leads to a feeling of inadequacy and disappointment in life.
In order to understand whether a person can make a living in the field of his career, it is necessary to examine all the connections of the 10th house of career with the 2nd house of personal property. If such connections exist, we can safely recommend pursuing career advancement in this field. If there are no connections, the person should be given information about how he can provide himself with a satisfactory financial situation, based on which he could satisfy his need to realize the 10th house, without counting on income from this business. For this purpose, the astrologer examines all the horoscope data and synthesizes them, on the basis of which he draws conclusions and makes recommendations. For example, a person may live off the money of a marriage partner. He can work for hire, without striving to rise to a high place of official position, and at the same time devote himself to his calling.

Once, one of my friends, who, like me, was involved in astrology, said that career guidance is the most popular question among her friends. Maybe. Although those around me were more interested in relationships. I can assume that this friend’s acquaintances were more serious and rational people, while mine were in the clouds of romance. Nevertheless, career guidance is truly an important, interesting and complex issue: professions are like fish in the sea.
There are also those that we haven’t even heard of - panda huggers, for example, or pearl divers, arborists - tree healers, and there are even monstrologists who study some kind of monsters.And therefore it is completely unclear what we should choose from this variety of useful activities. It is desirable that they also bring money and make them happy. And there was time left for personal life. Dreams, dreams... So, unfortunately, our dreams do not always coincide with the harsh reality. And we work more often to make money, rather than for pleasure. In the worst case scenario, the cat cried out for that money. The birth horoscope - the natal chart - will help us understand our capabilities in acquiring social status. The stars, as always, have already decided almost everything for us - all that remains is to decipher it. By the way, as a child I wanted to become a ufologist. Then a criminologist. Actually, I studied for it, but I always worked in a completely different field - and it is written in my natal chart. Where do we start? Let's start with the Houses.
The 10th House is responsible for social status, career, career guidance - angular, cardinal, this is the highest point of the horoscope. The 10th House is one of the most significant of the four Houses of the horoscope. The symbolic significator of the House is Saturn, the Zodiac sign is Capricorn - everything that is businesslike, strict and serious. Of course, each of us has our own individual ruler of the 10th House, because... Each cusp of the 10th House falls in its own Zodiac sign. If the cusp of your 10th House is in Libra, then your ruler is Venus. Also, planets in the 10th House will influence our professional inclinations; in addition to the sign in which the cusp falls, there will probably be another sign in the 10th House that will undoubtedly affect our profession. To make a judgment, we need the 6th House - ministries, which represents our workplace and work colleagues. 2 House – the house of money and other movable property, which will tell us where we will get this money from. Let us pay attention to the fact that all these earthly houses and their symbolic signs are Capricorn, Virgo and Taurus, and the signs of the Earth, as we know, are responsible for the material basis of life.
If the cusp of the 10th House falls into earthly signs (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn), the person stubbornly and persistently goes towards his goal; in air signs (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius) - a person chooses humanitarian professions, finds a good language with people, which helps him grow professionally; Water signs: (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces): a person seeks emotional satisfaction from work, adapts well to changing circumstances, uses intuition.
So, to make a judgment, look:
10th House - a sign on the cusp of the 10th House and another sign, if any, of the ruler of the 10th House - its dignity, position in the sign and house, planets in the 10th House, their strength and the Houses they rule. Aspects between planets related to the 10th House and other planets in the chart. We consider the same factors in the 6th House. If the ruler of the 6th House has a position stronger in sign, House or number of aspects than the ruler of the 10th House, then he may well have the strongest influence on the choice of field of activity.
Our career will correspond to the type of career, and the sign in which this planet is located will indicate the way of expression of this planet.
Planets as a pointer to career guidance
Each planet is associated with a number of professions that require higher education or do not require it, and a planet can also describe a profession in different ways - point to it directly or point only to its qualities. Planets that can indicate high social status under certain conditions: Sun, Jupiter and Saturn. If a planet is in one of the professional houses, it is not at all necessary that the person will have this profession; the planet can only indicate the quality of the profession.
Sun- an important determinant of a person’s social status, but a judgment about social status must be made only by the position of three planets in total: the Sun, Jupiter and Saturn. If these planets are damaged - Jupiter and Saturn are retrograde or in conjunction with the setting Lunar node, then these moments can significantly hinder professional development. If a person is prescribed a spiritual path by fate, and he is involved in the occult, then for such a person there is no particular need for a high social status. To determine career guidance, a person’s general psychotype is extremely important. Planets in the 1st House determine our self-awareness; they can contradict or confirm our professional inclinations. For example, a person with Saturn in the 10th House but Uranus in the 1st House will not be a clear Saturnian and will be too freedom-loving to be stable in terms of career, especially if there is a negative aspect between them.
Sun
The Sun often does not indicate a specific profession, it indicates the House to which the profession will relate. For example, if your Sun is located in the 3rd House, then your profession may well have a connection with the sphere of this House. The Sun is the center of existence, it is the Luminary that gives us vitality and basic motivation. The sign of the Sun and especially the House in which it is located leaves a certain imprint on the profession. The sun can also indicate a person’s place in the profession. The Sun as an archetype gives the desire to take a high place. It is necessary to remember and understand that everyone’s Sun has different values and our status will depend on this - the stronger the Sun, the greater our chances for a career takeoff. Solar professions are creative professions - actors, musicians, poets and other artists. Actors, as a rule, have pronounced Leo and Sun. But the profession cannot be reduced to one planet. Without Neptune and Venus, a good actor cannot be made. An actor with a strong Sun will strive to direct, produce, or create original television programs.But Saturn must also be added to the role of the director. Example: Sun + Neptune + Venus = painting, Sun + Venus + Saturn = architecture.
Moon
The moon is a symbol of the feminine principle. Motherhood, everything related to the food industry, care, survival, home, homeland, serving the homeland, growing something for food, working with women - this is the Moon. Lunar professions do not give high status, but they also do not indicate low social status. The position of the Moon in the 10th House can indicate work with children or the greater role of a woman, wife, mother in a man’s horoscope. The Moon can also show the strong influence of the mother in choosing the child’s profession if the planet falls on the axis of professional houses. The Moon in the 9th House can also indicate that the mother influenced the choice of educational institution. Lunar professions include everything related to care: social services, charitable societies = Moon + Neptune. The Moon in the 10th House also speaks of frequent changes of professions or lack of a certain type of occupation and housekeeping. Silver and milk are associated with the Moon - the dairy industry.
Mercury
Mercury is the exchange of information, sciences that require analytical thinking, Mercury in the second house will indicate earnings through intermediary activities or trade. Mercury is linguists, logisticians, consultants, operators, writers, philologists, mail, media, secretarial work, couriers, waiters, tailors and other sewing professions, libraries, publishing houses, everything related to short trips. Mercury is involved in the profession of a driver along with other planets (Mars, for example); in combination with Jupiter, Mercury gives a talent for learning foreign languages.
Venus
Venus - responsible for applied art, style, beauty of form,
photography (Neptune + Venus), design, makeup, cosmetology, dating services, confectionery industry. Venus is also responsible for judges as a symbol of justice, because she is the ruler of Libra. The sphere of action of Venus includes all sports that require plastic surgery in combination with Mars: dancing, figure skating, rhythmic gymnastics. Venus also participates in the reproduction of musical compositions as the beauty of the voice in the choir together with the Sun (theatricality), Saturn (solfeggio, sense of rhythm), Neptune (sense of higher spheres), Mars (voice power).Mars
Mars is responsible for professions associated with activity, independence, risk and pressure.The military “walk” under Mars, because Ares is, after all, the god of war. Due to the fact that the army is a structure, Saturn helps Mars in military matters. Whether he is a soldier or a general is determined by the strength of the Sun. Sports are a typical Martian area, because... The motto of Aries, ruled by Mars, is to be first. Team players usually have a pronounced 11th House. In medicine, Mars represents surgery,it involves quick actions at the level of instinct, instant decisions, endurance, physical strength, and courage. Mars is: firefighters, racing drivers, law enforcement agencies, police, informal groups, gangs in the formation of which Pluto helps Mars. Mars also gives carpentry and turning work; Mars is ruled by loaders, builders, professions related to metal - blacksmiths, also car mechanics, drivers. It is difficult for Martians to work in a team, as a rule, if Mars is in the House of Profession -a person tends to work alone.
Jupiter
A person with high Jupiter located above the horizon in the 9th, 10th, 11th Houses always wants to take a good position in society. If Jupiter and Saturn are weak, then fate will lead you away from the path to achieving high status, because A person has other evolutionary tasks, and he should pay attention to something else. It will be difficult for such a person to occupy a high social position.
Jupiter is responsible for the highest government positions, ministries, prestigious positions, professions related to foreigners, knowledge transfer, higher education, ideology, religion, philosophy, sociology, economics and finance, law, tourism.
Saturn
Saturn gives either a high professional status (if it is high + high Sun and good Jupiter) or, on the contrary, and more often - hard, forced routine work, work “from call to call”. Saturn means middle managers, managers, military (Saturn + Mars), customs officers, archivists, realtors. Saturn will indicate statistical data collection, censorship, as well as criminal gangs, prisons, correctional facilities, and funeral services along with Pluto.
Uranus
Uranus as an indicator of profession will give fluctuations and changeable status. All new technologies, innovation, electricity, electronics, programming, ufology, futurology, astrology are moving along Uranus.
Neptune
Neptune suggests a foggy, unclear situation, an uncertain social status, but it will indicate an actor, musician, psychologist, healer or professional fortune teller. It also gives professions related to the sea, cinema, in particular the fantasy genre. The alcohol industry and pharmaceuticals are under Neptune. Religion is also Neptune (with a touch of Saturn, if we mean the Church as
hierarchy).Pluto
Pluto is psychoanalysis, army, special forces, racketeering, mafia, police, riot police. If a person has a pronounced Pluto, the person can control the crowd. Nuclear energy. Nuclear power plants (Pluto + Uranus). Geology, paleontology, seismology.
Let's not ignore Lunar nodes. The North Node will work like Jupiter, the South Node like Saturn. The South Node will help in your career, the North Node will slow down your growth.
Let's briefly consider what a sign on the cusp of the 10th House can give:
Aries– they prefer professions in which they can emphasize and express their individuality, professions that are characterized by competition, military affairs, and sports.
Taurus- will choose a profession related to the material and practical side of life, such as land, money, economics, or it will be the sphere of beauty - jewelry making, design art.
Twins– they are characterized by all types of communications and intellectual activity, and may have more than one profession at the same time.
Cancer– family business, work with women, children, social services, collecting.
a lion– high position in society, political, acting activities, all professions in which you can shine and be in sight.
Virgo– putting things in order, improvement, analysis, research, accounting, can also be writers.
Scales– fashion and beauty, diplomacy, architecture, decor, talent in negotiations.
Scorpion- the sphere of politics, marketing, finance and insurance, intelligence activities, psychology, investigation, propensity for professions associated with danger and risk.
Sagittarius– international activities, career in higher education, travel, culture, philosophy.
Capricorn- employees of government agencies, administrative bodies, activities related to politics, real estate, they are also characterized by working with older people; if this is a doctor, then he can be a dentist or orthopedist. Possible work in the field of archeology and history. very important! Each of us should certainly have a hobby. Even if, to our chagrin, we do not see prospects in some business that we like on the map, even if we are not particularly talented in it, but still, this does not mean at all that we should abandon it. Let us have an activity that brings pleasure. By the way, the 5th House of the horoscope is responsible for hobbies. At the very beginning of the story, I said that as a child I wanted to be a ufologist. So: I’m one step away from my dream! Astrology, astronomy, then Martian, and then we’ll get down to establishing interplanetary communications :)
Understanding your purpose is oh so difficult.
This is one of the main questions that takes into account several factors:
- biological heredity;
- social environment;
- socionic type of a person and his temperament (psychological type);
- financial opportunities for realizing abilities;
- personal needs (satisfaction from work, favorite activity, social recognition or financial success).
Astrology comes to the rescue! Astrological professional consulting is gradually becoming one of the most popular services in the field of astrology. However, it can only be effective up to a certain age. After all, there comes a time in the lives of most people when changing their profession becomes fundamentally impossible. Therefore, the age threshold for counseling should be lowered down to childhood in order to identify the individual’s abilities with a view to their further development.
Diagnosis of vocational orientation can be carried out based on the date, time and place of birth of a person. The general distribution of the planets of the solar system in the natal horoscope determines the predisposition to one or another type of activity.
At the same time, the tenth house makes it possible to determine the “personal bar” - what heights a person can achieve, whether he can count on success, recognition or occupy a higher social position than other family members.
The second house will show sources of income, which profession will bring the most tangible material benefits, but since the source of income does not always satisfy the need for self-expression, for example, for a creative person, astrological professional consultation focuses on finding a favorable sphere for the realization of individuality, rather than sources of enrichment. In general, horoscopes are very rare in which the sphere of realization of a person as an individual coincides with the sphere of profit. That’s why they say “a job you love is happiness” or “it’s good when work brings both pleasure and money.”
Below is a diagram that can be used even by a non-professional astrologer, having in front of him a natal chart or birth horoscope. Within the narrow framework of the stated goal, the following questions can be considered:
Independent work or service?
There are people who work better alone, when the work is not strictly regulated, when a person sets tasks for himself and solves them, and there are those who find it easier to work in a group, team, requiring outside incentives.
An unmistakable criterion for a single worker is retrograde Mercury, suggesting a profession with elements of creativity. Piecework payment is also possible, depending on the person himself, and not on the entire team. Working “from bell to bell” is harmful for such a person.
Leader or subordinate?
Young people have a certain stereotype that it is better to be a boss than a subordinate. And only with age comes the understanding that management is a complex process that requires a lot of knowledge and psychological endurance.
Jupiter in the tenth house gives the makings of a leader and also facilitates career advancement.
Retrograde Saturn partly releases the brakes on the path to success.
The makings of a leader are present if:
- Mars in the 1st house;
- Mercury - not combust and not retrograde;
- non-retrograde Jupiter in the II, IV, VI or XI houses.
In general, the best abilities of a male leader can be demonstrated by: Sagittarius, Aries, Taurus and Gemini.
The best female leaders are Leo, Libra, and Aquarius.
The sign of Scorpio and Capricorn produces the most competitive employees or tough fighters in terms of doing business.
Cancers, Virgos and Pisces do not know how to manage people (even if they are already doing this...)
How to become a Guru?
Astrological statistics show that good teachers are made from those who have the following signs in their natal chart:
Mercury in the 1st house. Teacher by vocation;
- Jupiter in the II house. Profit from teaching activities;
- Jupiter in the XII house. Teacher for the few (Guru).
- Moon and Jupiter (being in the same sign). Social worker, kindergartens and educational institutions, working with difficult teenagers, caring for orphans, etc.
To treat or not to treat?
The presence of planets such as Mars and Neptune in the tenth house at the same time opens up great opportunities in the medical field, in which, as we know, it is incredibly difficult to achieve a vocation.
The following signs give green color to the medical field:
Mars in the 1st house. Surgeon.
- Saturn in the 1st house. Dentistry and orthopedics.
- Mars or Neptune in Capricorn or Libra. Therapist. Pediatrician.
- Uranus in the 1st house. Electrotherapy, computed tomography, etc.
- Pluto in the 1st house. Homeopathy and alternative medicine.
- Moon in Scorpio. Andrology, obstetrics and gynecology.
What about talent?
Art requires talent... Abilities and talents are not the same thing. Triangles serve as indicators of talent. The more triangles in the horoscope, the more gifted the person is.
The talent triangle requires the participation of Venus in combination with two other planets (except Saturn) in signs such as Libra, Taurus, Pisces or Cancer. For example, Venus, Neptune and the Moon in Taurus. If Mercury is retrograde, then this is a born artist.
Mercury retrograde is very useful for people of art, unlike those who are used to doing more than imagining.
In general, Taurus or Libra according to the zodiac sign (Sun in Libra or Taurus) - gives an understanding of harmony and taste (designers, artists, fashion designers). Gemini, Cancer, Aquarius (Sun in Gemini, Aquarius or Cancer) are the signs that predominate among poets and prose writers.
Further:
- Venus in the II house. Opportunity to earn money in the field of art;
- conjunction of Mars in the 1st house with Mercury. Multi-media specialist, translator, journalist;
- Venus in Pisces, as well as filled Scorpio (two or three planets), especially if the time of birth is at night, gives an ear for music and a voice.
- Venus or Neptune in the 2nd house – answers affirmatively to the question “is it worth teaching a child music?”
- Neptune, Moon and Mercury in one sign - fine arts;
- aspect of Neptune with Saturn - dancing, ballet;
- Moon in Leo - artistic abilities;
- Moon in Aries or Scorpio – directing, theater, the sphere of illusions, cinematography, television.
Business, economics and finance
For a more successful career in economics and business, the following characteristics are required:
- absence of planets in the XII house;
- absence of the Moon in the 1st house;
- Jupiter in the first house (luck in business).
What determines human development to a greater extent: biological heredity or the child’s social environment? Recent research by genetic scientists allows us to speak not only about biological hereditary predetermination, but also about the predetermination of a person’s abilities, and therefore, ultimately, the vocation that he realizes. The main advantage of astrological diagnostics is the ability to determine a person’s abilities and professional orientation with only information about the person’s time and place of birth, i.e. Diagnosis can be carried out immediately after the birth of the child.
Main astrological factors in determining temperament and abilities for a particular type of activity are the positions of the planets in the zodiac signs, their distribution among the elements, hemispheres and houses of the horoscope, as well as the position of the 2nd, 6th and 10th houses in the zodiac signs.
The distribution of the 10 planets of the solar system used by astrology allows us to determine the predominant type of human temperament. So, predominance planets in the element gives a choleric type of temperament, in the element a phlegmatic type, the element corresponds to the sanguine type, and the water element corresponds to the melancholic type. A person with a pronounced element is unlikely to be content with minor roles in life and, most likely, will demonstrate organizational and leadership abilities, etc.
Dividing the horoscope into hemispheres also provides a lot of information necessary when determining a person’s career orientation. The predominance of planets in the upper hemisphere of the horoscope will give an extroverted personality type, and in the lower hemisphere an introverted one. The identification of the western and eastern hemispheres in the horoscope allows one to assess the importance for a person of participation in collective activities and the focus on partnerships. A person with an eastern hemisphere filled with planets is self-sufficient and can develop for a long time as a thing in itself. In his activities, he is guided rather by personal opinions and positions. The opposite is a person with a western hemisphere filled with planets. He is guided in everything by his partners and the opinions of others are very important to him, since he perceives himself through the eyes of others. Such a person is initially focused on partnership and working in a team.
The horoscope house system provides the bulk of information about a person’s professional and other qualities. Within the narrow framework of the task, I will consider only those houses of the birth chart that are directly related to a person’s career guidance and which allow us to determine the most effective area of application of his potential abilities. In classical astrology, there are three houses that are closely related to a person’s professional activities.
Predisposition to a certain type of profession shows the position 6th house in the Zodiac, as well as the quality of the planets that fall into a given house of the horoscope. Each zodiac sign corresponds to a certain category of professions, and when the 6th house falls into a zodiac sign, we can talk about a person’s predisposition to the category of professions of a given zodiac sign. This house is responsible for everyday, routine work and for professional excellence.
Tenth house The horoscope tells us what heights a person can achieve and whether he will be recognized by society. The position of the cusp of the 10th house in the Zodiac, as well as the quality of the planets in this house, can provide information about the nature of the activity in which a person will best suit his calling.
Second house The horoscope shows us the sources of funds received by a person. And since work, as a rule, is a source of monetary income for a person, this horoscope factor can indirectly indicate a person’s professional affiliation.
Plays a special role in astrology position of planets in houses horoscope. Each planet in astrology is characterized by a quality or principle, the functions it performs and the roles with which it is associated in life. For example, the qualities of the Sun are the need for self-expression, individual creativity, and play. All creativity requires realization and, therefore, the function of the Sun is to realize individuality. The roles that are associated with the Sun are our selfhood, as well as a leader, a creative person, an artist, etc. A person who has at least a little grasp of his selfhood and knows how to express it is already a creative individual. Thus, each planet has its own principle, its functions and roles, which remain unchanged. And when a certain planet falls into the above houses of the horoscope, we have reason to assume that the theme of these houses will be realized in accordance with the principles of this planet. For example, the Sun in the 10th house of the horoscope could potentially mean that a person will achieve recognition in creativity, become a famous public figure, and leader.
The final result of diagnosis using astrological techniques consists of many horoscope factors that need to be synthesized into specific recommendations. The difficulty of formalizing these techniques is, in my opinion, the main obstacle to their widespread use in psychological practice. But despite the difficulties, their use can produce amazing results.
Let's try to build a kind of scheme, the fulfillment of the requirements of which will allow us to use the method of elimination to cut off the least likely options for a person's professional vocation and in the end get two, three or even ten of the most probable: a person must have a choice, and it is not our task to limit it. We simply do not have the right to impose any one option on him.
DISASSEMBLY SCHEME:
1. creative work or service
2. talents (yes or not)
3. superior or subordinate
4. scope of application of abilities (that is, the profession itself)
1. Creative work or service
This means a person’s natural inclination either to work “as a single person,” be it an artist or a mechanic, a doctor or an entrepreneur, when the daily routine depends on him, he also chooses the work himself, and income comes in the form of fees, i.e. one-time payments for work performed, or for work in a group or team, when the daily routine is set in advance, the work is entrusted to him by the manager, and income is in the form of salary, i.e. are paid in a certain order.
The most important and unmistakable criterion for this is the position Mercury relative to the Sun. Mercury is ahead of the Sun, and even direct, and not yet cusp - this is “service”, the ability to work in a regulated group, in a certain position, from nine to six. Such predetermined frameworks discipline a person and, as it were, themselves help to realize his best qualities.
*Hereinafter, the expression “Mercury (or any other planet) is ahead of the Sun” means a longitude greater than the solar one; from an astronomical point of view, such a planet rises later than the Sun and sets after it. The planet's position "behind the Sun" means that its absolute longitude is less than the solar one.
Mercury is ahead of the Sun, but retrograde requires a profession with an element of creativity: this is the head of a group or a person who comes later and finishes earlier than others if he managed to complete his work, or regulated work, but piecework payment.
Mercury is ahead of the Sun, but cusp - work in different places, either simultaneously or over time, or work with a variable contingent (the leader of not one, but many groups, different each time).
Mercury behind the Sun in any form means “creative”, that is, irregular work and income only in the form of one-time fees. A writer, a private practitioner, a tailor, and many astrologers who receive clients at home also have this Mercury. Regular work, working from nine to six, is simply harmful for such a person. Even if he ended up in the service, sooner or later he will have to leave it. For women, this is sometimes a sign of talent as a housewife, which, in essence, is also a profession.
Thus, a person with Mercury in front of the Sun can be recommended for regular service, and a person with Mercury behind the Sun can only be recommended for work for fees. Serving such a person is “both dangerous and harmful” because in the end it will only bring him pain.
2. Talents
Talent indicator, or rather abilities, because talent is work, serve as the so-called. “talent triangles”: two sextiles and a trine connected together. The more such triangles there are, the more richly gifted a person is by nature, the more diverse areas he can realize himself. What areas these are are shown by the planets located at the vertices of the triangle, and partly also by houses and signs. We will talk more specifically about combinations of planets and their meaning later.
Such “triangular” abilities mean, first of all, that a person is easily given skills and knowledge in a given area. Even if he does not study them specifically, they accumulate as if by themselves and appear sooner or later. Such a person, as a rule, manages to try several professions during his life, achieving quite noticeable success in all of them. If this is an intellectual, he has extensive erudition in many branches of knowledge; if a person is engaged in a craft, he has “golden hands”, capable of repairing everything that moves, spins and consists of at least two parts fitted to each other.
A closed trine (without sextiles) also gives good abilities, but rather in one area. Such a person can also have several professions, but achieves true success in only one, and even then, most likely, not immediately.
Let us point out that tense aspects (conjunctions, squares and oppositions) can also indicate remarkable abilities, or rather, one ability, but the most important one: the ability to see things through to the end. A card, for example, with a single sextile and many squares and oppositions, as a rule, gives an extraordinary personality, achieving everything exclusively through their own labor. A rich set of energy aspects allows a person to grow a “tree of desires” from a single grain of talent.
For such people, the true realization of abilities, that is, their social benefit, depends on two other factors: the desire to learn and the right choice of moment (the points “propensity to learn” and “it’s not time”).
3. Boss or subordinate
The question “superior or subordinate” does not yet arise among students, but it may arise among young people who want to go into business or some other activity, be it art, military service or racketeering. The answer to this is given by an analysis of the houses of the horoscope, and not according to one, but at least two systems: from ASC (any) plus from the Sun.
A strong 1st house is good for businessmen and artists: these people give their qualities the opportunity to reveal themselves to their full potential. They quickly get ahead and become “first” in their business, without even holding any official positions. If the planets of the 1st house have squares with others, this does not change the situation, only the sphere of application of abilities may turn out to be different (criminal or semi-criminal activities, dangerous professions of a racer, stuntman, tiger tamer).
A strong X house gives positions. Moreover, these positions “come” to a person as if by themselves, due to circumstances, like successive ranks in the army. Such a person may have a minimum of ability and desire to do something himself, but he will become a boss. Squares to the X house give either a careerist or a leader of various kinds of informal structures. If a person also has a good Jupiter (i.e. money, as mentioned above), he is guaranteed a high position. Thus, already from the natal chart one can tell what kind of career awaits a young man, and thereby indirectly determine whether he should do something or not.
Let us now move on to paragraph 4, which covers specific signs of interest in a particular activity and the ability to engage in it.
4. Scope of application of abilities (that is, the profession itself)
In this case, you need to take into account:
1. The presence of one sign should not be taken into account, because it is multi-valued (Mars-Neptune combinations can produce a doctor, a musician, or simply an intriguer). Any sign of professional inclination can be considered valid only if it is confirmed at least three times.
2. Checking these signs in the natal chart does not answer the question of who a person must certainly become, that is, it does not allow one to determine whether a person has really chosen (or will choose) this path; it answers only the question of what he can become, what types of activities are most preferable for him.
What kind of work should a person do?
This question is partly answered by the position of Saturn, especially retrograde.
The position of Saturn immediately “activates” one of the axes:
pronounced Virgo-Pisces axis (“helpers in trouble”)
pronounced Aries-Libra axis ("artists" or "warriors")
pronounced Taurus-Scorpio axis (“businessmen”)
pronounced Cancer-Capricorn axis (“singles”, “ITD”)
pronounced Leo-Aquarius axis (“testers”, “experimenters”)
pronounced Gemini-Sagittarius axis (“administrators”)
This is, if you like, a formula for a person’s “vocation”, a generalized description of the nature of the activity suitable for him. The axis in which the Sun, ASC, Moon, or Saturn is located in one of the signs should be considered pronounced, but rather the one in whose signs there are stelliums or stellar oppositions. A person can have several axes. It is also clear that the presence of even just the Sun in Leo or the Moon in Cancer already makes the axis pronounced. In addition, for women, in any case, the axis in whose sign the Moon is located plays a very important role.
MEDICINE
"hard" medicine (surgeons):
— Mars in the 1st house from AS, the Sun or from itself (in its own house)
- conjunction, square, trine Sun-Mars
— conjunction, sextile, opposition Mars-Neptune
“soft” medicine (pharmacists):
- conjunction, sextile, opposition Sun-Neptune
- any of the 5 classic Moon-Neptune aspects
dentists :
— Saturn in the 1st house from AS, the Sun or from itself;
— generally strong Saturn with pronounced “medical” aspects of Mars and/or Neptune in Capricorn or Libra, in square to the Sun, at the head of the stellium, gives dentists, both therapists and prosthetists.
electrotherapy, computed tomography etc.:
- connections and trines of Uranus with Mars, Venus, Mercury
Alternative medicine:
— compounds of Uranus, especially stellar ones (diagnostics)
— Pluto in the 1st house from AS, the Sun or from itself (in its own house)
— Pluto square (homeopaths, psychics)
- Pluto trines (herbalists)
— Pluto conjunctions, especially stellar ones (multi-media)
— pronounced Scorpio and/or Moon in Scorpio (multi-media)
Pluto's opposition to Venus or Mars, as well as Pluto's aspects to the Moon, give more difficulties than success: such a person often becomes a victim either of his own fears or of other people's “attacks.” Such a person should not be recommended to study the occult.
PEDAGOGY
My statistics show that people who have the following signs in their cards become good teachers:
— Mercury in the 1st house (“explainer”)
— conjunction, sextile, trine Mercury-Saturn (“researcher”)
— conjunction, sextile, trine Venus-Saturn (“artist”)
— conjunction, sextile, trine Mercury-Jupiter ("guru" educator, respected person)
However, a true “guru” (Guru, by the way, is the Indian name for Jupiter), that is, a mentor by God’s grace, usually has some aspect between Jupiter and Saturn, while the position of the other “pedagogical” planets is not relevant. The better the aspect, the better the mentor, naturally, the more students he has, etc. The hero of the film “We’ll Live Until Monday”, brilliantly performed by Vyacheslav Tikhonov, could have had this aspect. If these planets (or aspects, that is, at least one of the planets involved in the aspect) fall into the 2nd house, the person earns money by teaching. If Jupiter falls into the XII house, the “Cassandra syndrome” appears (a prophet who is not believed), or he is a teacher for a few, or even for one student at all.
Combinations of Jupiter with the Moon (conjunction or simply being in the same sign, sextile, trine) gives the so-called. a “social worker” called upon to take care of refugees, orphans, pensioners, former prisoners, etc.
Here I will also allow myself to include those of the scientists whose maps I had to work with:
— a pronounced Aries-Libra axis produces Sinologists and Japaneseists;
- pronounced Taurus-Scorpio axis of Europeans
- pronounced Gemini-Sagittarius axis of Americanists
- pronounced Cancer-Capricorn axis of Arabists
— pronounced Leo-Aquarius axis multi-media (multilateral)
- pronounced Virgo-Pisces axis of philosophers and religious scholars
Even if a person has never studied, say, the Japanese language, but works in a completely different specialty (doctor, mechanic, etc.), but his Aries-Libra axis is pronounced, he will love Japanese art, prefer Japanese technology, and one day , maybe even go to Japan, etc.
ART
“Talent triangles” with the participation of Venus are good for practicing art, as well as the pronounced houses (signs) of Venus, Neptune and the Moon Taurus, Libra, Pisces, Cancer. It's also nice to have at least something in Scorpio. And if a person has a bad Mercury (behind the Sun, cusp, retrograde, burnt), then he has a direct path to becoming an artist in the sense of artists, people of art.
In general, any retrograde is even useful for “artists”: such a person thinks more, although he does less.
Venus in the 2nd house (from ASC, from the Sun or from itself) makes it possible to earn money through art. If he has a decent aspect between Jupiter and Venus (sextile, trine, even opposition), his work will delight people, he will not remain an “unrecognized genius” even despite all his shortcomings (gluttony, drunkenness, women, cards). Well, there will be money, of course. If Jupiter and Venus are in conjunction or square, the shortcomings are magnified, and the joy of his creativity for other people decreases.
Poets
According to statistics from members of the former Union of Writers of the USSR, most poets are represented in three signs: Taurus, Gemini, Cancer.
However, regardless of this, the poet must be able to write beautifully and competently (good Venus or at least a well-defined house of Venus (Taurus, Libra), have imagination (good Neptune or Neptune’s house Pisces), and, if possible, intelligence (sextile or trine Venus -Saturn).
Prose writers
A person, as a rule, becomes a good prose writer only in adulthood, that is, not earlier than 30 years old. What are the necessary horoscopic prerequisites for this? First of all, a prose writer must have intelligence: sextile or trine Venus-Saturn; conjunction, opposition, and even square are also suitable (this gives an evil mind, but tenacious and accurate). With decent Venus or a well-defined house of Venus (Taurus, Libra), there may not be an aspect between Venus and Saturn, but Saturn should be good (in the 1st house).
Journalists and translators
— must also have active Mars, preferably in the 1st house and/or in aspect with Mercury.
The Mars-Mercury conjunction gives multi-media: such a journalist can write about anything, and a translator can translate almost anything. And both do their job well.
If Mars is behind the Sun, a journalist risks his life by traveling to a combat area and may be injured or even killed. The conjunction and sextile of Mars-Neptune or the Sun-Neptune in any order and almost anywhere on the chart gives a certain specialization: a journalist of one topic or publication (often a television journalist), a translator of one profile (often fiction).
A journalist and translator “without Mars”, but with Neptune or pronounced Pisces, gives work “to suit the mood”, that is, extremely irregular, and optional, that is, the inability to present material on time. Although the work was done with talent.
Composition :
Neptune in the 1st house, generally Neptune, is more pronounced than Venus.
Execution :
— Venus in the 1st house
— Venus in Pisces, generally filled Pisces (2-3 planets)
— sextile Moon-Mars, Moon-Venus Sextile Sun-Neptune, trine Mars-Neptune give musicality, but not enough for active music practice: this can be a choir, dance, and also (and most likely) classes in some other form of art.
Filled Scorpio, especially its second half (2-3 planets), especially when born at night, also gives musicality, which in itself, although not sufficient for active music studies, however, in combination with the aspects indicated above, also provides a good basis for a musician or a person who is somehow involved in the music field.
Much the same can be said about filled Cancer, which, with good Mercury and Mars, can produce tuners or makers of musical instruments.
In this regard, the question is also often asked whether it is worth teaching a child music. If a child’s chart has three or four of these combinations, then it’s worth teaching, and with a good Jupiter, he can really turn out to be a first-class musician. If there are only one or two such aspects, you can learn, but it will be playing music for your own pleasure, singing with a guitar at parties, and with Venus or Neptune in the 2nd house, earning some income thanks to this. If there are no such aspects, then you don’t have to teach them.
Artists :
- conjunction, sextile, trine Venus-Neptune
- sextile, trine Sun-Moon
- squares between these planets produce more graphic artists than painters.
Also, connections and squares of Venus with the Sun, Moon and Mercury can indicate various applied arts - needlework, cooking, hairdressing.
Various combinations of Neptune with the Moon, Mercury and other planets (mainly conjunctions) may indicate a person’s work in the “sphere of illusions” of cinematography, television, theater, and clothing design. Neptune aspects with Saturn can give dance (ballet).
