If you are looking for a more creative side of psychology, have you looked into the following?

1) Transpersonal Psychology
2) Depth Psychology
3) Somatic Psychology
4) Expressive Arts Therapy
5) Jungian Psychology

You can google them and get more info... might be of some help... if you are interested by these, let me know and I can also post links to Graduate courses in these subjects. :-)

Hi Eviltwin,

They sound interesting. Expressive arts therapy, transpersonal psychology, Jungian. I'll have to look into it some more. I found some programs close to me. I think maybe I can try out fashion design and then see if I could incorporate that. Or then write on the subject.. The problem is you do need qualifications in life to achieve anything!

I have gathered in depth knowledge of the individual parts of my chart but I'm still at odds between career directions. I am torn between Fashion Design and Psychology. I am going to study fashion design in the fall but would like to know if it is the right decision. I already have a degree in psychology. I am very interested in metaphysical knowledge and astrology (i guess that is where the psychology part fits in too). I also have a side of me that likes to write and is in search of knowledge.

I would also like to know more about the 0 critical degree of mercury in aries..

Thanks for your input!

Elyn,

I am thinking that there really is a way to combine psychology with fashion, you don't have to be torn between the two, you could just see it as "divide and conquer."

So with that said, before I take a look at your chart I just want to point out the relationship pyschology has to fashion implicitly. We say the "clothes make the man," and so in this day an age, with more and more people wanting to express their individuality through fashion, it makes sense we'd want look at HOW clothes make the individual.


So you could study psychology and then move into fashion design, be your own creator of a unique line of clothing that reflects people Enneagrams for example, or maybe explore the newer topic of "Gender-oisity" that's going on.

Well now, let's look at your chart.

I think with a Sun in Pisces, you want to emotionally connect to others and be creative, soulful, demonstrative, and passionately and emotionally motivate to well-being of others. It is opposing Virgo, the Moon, so you are really driven, compelled, and motivated, inspired even, by relating to others directly.

This is important for you to do. With Virgo ruling the MC you would rather concerned with details, and in this case it could go with either people's minds/psyches, or perhaps even detailing, putting-together, manifesting and creating a composite image of something, which Virgo likes to do as Virgo is the Middle Element of Earth between Taurus and Capricorn. Taurus brings together pleasure and sensuality and Capricorn desires to oversee this manifestation. Virgo resides in the middle, balancing the materials (Taurus) and the need to authorize what is done with those materials (Capricorn). Virgo simply says, here are the materials, what should be with them, and enjoys the process of bringing this to fruition. It's a very objective place to operate from and this would be well-suited to both Psychology and Fashion Design. A good Fashion Designer needs to be able to objectify and conceptualize.

I'm a newbie too, but from what I saw, it looked liked your artistically minded, are into probing, and like communicating. Why not go for a fashion writer for a fashion magazine? Seeing runway shows and writing on them would be fun. You can critique fashion too if you like. And you could even write on the side for zines of psychology or parapsychology like Psychology Today. Best thing is to carve a niche for yourself out there. Also, you can get a license in a field of psychology that is semi-conventional just in case.

Thanks! you write really well. Its true, describing the signs in a less stereotyped way, more abstract way, really describes the essence of the energy. you have a very intelligent and unique way of writing

Interior design is the action of abstraction the acquaintance of interior amplitude which is a alloy of aesthetic talents and creativity. So it's not just autogenous adornment but it as well involves aspects of ecology psychology, architectonics and artefact design.

Hi
I'm new to this site and I'm a little late to your post but i did want to share my thoughts: Have you ever thought about early childhood education? it involves creativity, psychology, variety,fun ,art, nurturing, gestalt.
early chilhood experiences= 4th house. children,art,creativity,fun= 5th house.
moon= nurturing, caring, domestic experiences. Mercury=teaching
Cheers
