could i be a designer?

[brooke24]

I have come to this realization after many years of different paths and a bit of lost direction that the only thing i did ALL the time as a child was draw figures and design different outfits to go on them. I worship fashion, but i can design it too..i only lack the practical elements of design at the moment (e.g sewing)
Is there 'fashion' in my chart? I wonder why i have suddenly realized after too many years what i really wanted to do...

[Ixaee]

Yes, there is some indication here... :happy:

1) Your 6th house (of work) ruler is Leo, which is all about vanity, drama, fashion, extravagant looks, etc.

2) Your 2nd house (of money) is in Aries, which shows a pionerring spirit in regards to money. I.e. you are able to make your own money independently (which is good for fashion designing).

3) Venus is in your 2nd house of money. Which indicates that you could make lots of money by doing something related to Venus = Venus is the ultimate feminine, so fashion, designing, makeup, jewelry, decorating, etc would be PERFECT avenues for you to make lots of money.

4) Your 6th house ruler, Leo is ruled by your Sun, which is in your 1st house. So you could well develop a great deal of self-esteem through your work.

Id say go for it!!

Hey Ixaee

thanks for taking the time to reply! Its been on my mind as I struggled with career direction before before finding a suitable direction. I was told with Jupiter in the 12th i would be interested in soical work or working in 'prisons' but i hate that stuff...so i guess its not always accurate. Or with the sag midheaven you are supposed to be interested in philosphy or teaching tech stuff yet i also don't like that..oh its confusing at times!

Neptune & Moon are both singletons]

Waybread,
The 12th house deals with misfortunate people, and/or people who are shut-in in some way. Hence the prisoner connection--but also places like hospitals, monestaries, and nursing homes. Jupiter in the 12th doesn't specifically mean working at home, which would be more of a 4th house matter. However, with your moon and Pluto in the 8th house, probably you are a very private person at heart.
I feel Jupiter in 12th gives hidden support and back up when you need it most. Pisces there may be indulgence in escapist fantasies, dreams, religion or drugs even. quite often dissatisfied with the material world and attracted by mystical and religious solutions, these people are idealistic and may prefer the private world of the imagination to harsh reality.


Ruler of the Tenth House in the Twelfth House
Your main career may have an element of working behind-the- scenes or could have some other kind of hidden quality to it.
Your career may involve working in large public institutions or helping other people altruistically. It might even be connected to the psychological fields. Some of your personal power is not readily perceived by other people, or you may just prefer to keep it to yourself.

Uranus conj MC is going to have a massive influence in your career, wanting freedom and independence, square to mercury Retro, suggests you want 'thoughts' creations and mental stimulation but probably keep these to yourself, simmering just beneath the surface....

produces an unrestricted, forceful, and energetic nature. You play by your own rules and resist compliance to any controls of society. Your impulsiveness can present any number of problems, but you continue to insist on complete freedom of action. You insist on having your way. You have a strong inclination to experiment and test your theories as you go along. A reasonable degree of prudence is often lacking in your actions. You are likely to face roadblocks unless you can attain some position in which you are completely in charge.

Aries/mars rules 2nd house and is in 10th but afflicted conj Neptune, which is going to cause problems in taking action.

mars conj Neptune
“This conjunction (http://astrology.astrozoom.com/index.php?title=Conjunction) can pose several difficulties: in choice of actions, where you may struggle to establish what your real aims are; in making that final decision to attempt to achieve them, and in ensuring that suffiecient and persistent effort is then made to guarantee success. An unintegrated Nepune (http://astrology.astrozoom.com/index.php?title=Nepune&action=edit&redlink=1) can dissolve that focused will, making decisive clarity difficult to maintain. Additionaly, you tend to avoid accepting the consequences of your choices, and there can be a refusal to acknowledge responsibility when such actions lead to failure or negative results.”

Age 8 did anyone disappear or become cold, aloof, distant? did you move house age 10? did you have your first love age 16?

venus in 2nd is helping uranus and mars by nice trine. Uranus conj MC can suggest the sign of an astrologer to :cool: Uranus also loves, computers, technology and new age, inventive things

Transiting pluto is conjunct natal neptune, which is generational but also quite often a time when we search within for our own spiritual truths and religious concepts for them to become more personal to you.

Uranus conjunct Midheaven
“You will most definitely want the freedom to express your own unique ideas in your public life, as you make your contribution to society. You are likely to enjoy change and variety, and may make sudden career changes or possibly experience such changes thrown at you. You may prefer an unusual type of career or occupation, one that offers adventure and excitement, danger even, but certainly one that does not rely upon too much routine and regularity.”

Do you WANT to be a designer? If so, go for it, you don't have to ask your chart's permission.

[brooke24]

haha Inconjuct...totally spot on i say! Do not worry astrologer50 - i will not ask again! I am done with it! Its time to find your own way in life, rather than looking to a 'chart' to tell you what you should/should not be doing.Thanks for the feedback anyway. Personally i have never done drunks or smoked and drink very little alcohol. People used to call me a 'goodie goodie' when i was younger ..so perhaps the 12th house jupiter/Pisces influence just transcends to artistic ability at the very least.
As for age 8..there is no recall of anyone becoming cold, but you are correct - I moved at age 10 (big move from Europe as my mum is Swiss ) and yes had the first love at 16. !! As for the mars conjunct Neptune..my friend has the same aspect as this but she is extremely energetic ..I don't have any problems with action/motivation but i am indecisive at times. Uranus conjunct mid heaven? This is odd i think. Computers are OK.. i like astrology and learning about the signs but I'd rather die than do it for a living (no offense to anyone) that's just a personal opinion. When it gets right into graphs/planets in astrology i lose much interest! I have Venus trine mid heaven which is a nice one

Uranus conj MC/cont...


For women, this can often be found in the charts of those who choose careers and professions that are not normally associated with females, such as working on a mine site, driving a truck, or diving on sunken wrecks: perhaps something that has a touch of the unusual about it. For men, this can be found in the charts of those who often face danger in their given occupation, explosives expert, racing driver,
jockey or life saver.

Uranus conj MC/cont..


Your chosen profession would need to incorporate an element of the unusual, the original, and allow for a degree of freedom of expression. You may be seen by others as highly independent, original and even somewhat out of line with conventional thinking. You will probably seek a career that encompasses the potential to be able to make your own decisions, rather than following strict guidelines laid down by others. You are more likely to want to follow your own rules, and will not take too kindly to having to toe the conventional line in terms of your career.

I think horary would be your answer. Look into Horary board.

Yes, this is suggested by your horoscope. You have Mars in the 10th house in Sagittarius being aspected by the Moon, and both in the same degree of sign. Sagittarius suggests fabrics.

Mercury is with Jupiter in the first house and Venus is in the second house with a trine aspect to Mars. This is an indication of The Moon rules your 5th house which is helpful for design.

You will need special training. The work does not actually involve sewing. My cousin studied design in Manchester UK. She then found that she would have to move to Italy to actually find a job in the field. She stayed in England.

Look into this carefully. Your chart has other career possibilities.

(Whole sign houses used.)

[brooke24]

Thanks Culpepper! I am happy to hear this. The only thing i have are design skills...the practical skills lack. Yet I guess anyone can learn to sew. But i must say its strange how people can have very singular focus..for instance..jewelery, bag design= no interest ..only clothing design. Yet maybe its the Sagittarius with the 'fabrics' leanings ..

[tikana]

Fabric .. oooo that sounds like Venus thing... Look at Versace's chart. it is screaming designer

His sister is so so .. not as theatrical and classy Giovanni was.

he really understood the fabric and women's bodies

[brooke24]

That's quite fascinating ! So what is it in Versace's chart that is 'oh so designer' then?

[astrologer50]

here is verace chart

I really don't see anyh correlation. Virgo mc ruler in 12th with stellum

[brooke24]

Gee Versace has a lot of water there!! I did mine and it was 36% water. I have 4 earth houses, descendant in earth which help boost the 9% earth tally! Yeah his chart doesn't suggest a great deal in my opinion! where is the Libra??
