Tired of being undecided in career - what will stick? Help!?

[Oren]

I'm attaching my natal chart for any advice anyone can offer into what direction I should be going in. I don't want to waste anymore money on education only to realize something's not for me. I really want to continue studying but I want to make sure I'm studying something that will stick, but most importantly, what I'll be actually successful in. But I just really want to know where I fit in...I've been studying business recently and often find myself wondering if I belong in a corporate atmosphere...I'd like to work in the arts, but I don't really know where to start attempting to do that while still being able to keep a roof over my head...I'd like to be an actor for instance, but I don't want to be a starving actor...

You have (change) on your Midheaven (outer world), indicating your approach to the outer world (such as with career) is constantly changing. In addition you have a seesaw chart, so you go "back and forth" on things in your life. (ruled by ) is on your Midheaven and your is in the self-expression (also performing arts) house, indicating you are interested in performing as a way to connect to the outer world. In addition, rules the performing arts house. And (self-expression, also performing arts) is in the performing arts house. So there is a LOT of indicators of performing. The only thing is...there are no guarantees. Yes, you want to be a performer, and yes, it will take some time and probably you need to do "side jobs" to pay for your acting career until you "hit it big". Something to keep in mind is your (future goals) is on your Descendant (others), so you need to work with others to develop your life goals. This suggest partnering with others may help you best to achieve your performing arts plans.

Performing,

wow, is my chart really indicating that performing arts is something I should try to attempt? It's always only been a sort of unrealistic fantasy in my mind, something I'd like to do for instance, but probably never will. But does my chart indicate that its something I should actually try? Does it specifically indicate acting? or can it include being a musician for instance, or some other type of artist? I have so many interests so I'm trying to pinpoint if I should be leaning towards one thing over another. When it comes to arts, I'm so scattered because I tend to dip into everything and have a hard time figuring out what I want to do in that sphere of my life. For the longest time, I've been trying to reconcile my creative outlet with the practical real world, entering careers that did require some amount of creativity, but were nevertheless, still corporate-oriented careers. For me, the thought of immersing myself into a career in the performing arts is really scary, as much as I want to do it. Also...you mention, "until I hit it big", lol - just curious, does this mean that my chart indicates a possibility that I CAN hit it big in performing arts? lol - I know there are no guarantees, and success in anything requires a great deal of hard work and sacrifice...but does my chart indicate that performing arts is something where I'll succeed in most over other careers for instance? ie. am I most likely to "hit it big" if I pursue performing arts vs. hitting it big in business, or politics?
