Apparently astrology can't determine your career

AstroLogical said:

Greetings, Sagii

I believe what is being told to you is simply, YOU have choice and free will.
Resist the temptation to mindlessly be told what to do because the astrologer says so.

Your astrologer clearly indicates "the astrological angle is to guide you for whatever thoughts are there on you mind in the form of alternatives."

It seems clear to me your astrologer is honoring your individuality in the matter and leaving the details of your proclivity to be explored. Is the personal creative spark within you so faint that you do not find excitement in choosing a course of action? Or would you prefer step by step directions to tell you what to do and when to do it so you can perform like a drone and achieve the task? Where is the joy in that?

The best to you...

Astrology offers a map that can highlight the potential within your life. Many subtle variations await your decisions. This is what your astrologer is saying to you.


This is YOUR LIFE.
MAKE CHOICES AND LIVE IT!

• a deep desire to help others, as you are sensitive to how others feel and what their drives are. You also have a deep desire for recognition by others ........ so it is important for you to recognise what it is which is motivating you to be doing medicine. You only have to be honest with yourself.
• there is also an indication that you may not be clear about what it is you want to, or should be doing.
• With Neptune in the 6th house you are capable of serving others and sacrificing yourself for the `greater good'.
• with multiple planets in the 6th house choosing work which serves others in the community is a given. You will have to watch your own health at all times, as you could easily push yourself beyond your own personal limitations.
• you are likely to experience a deep restlessness should you get stuck in a rut, no matter what job you are doing. This means you need to allow for variety and change in your work.

I also subscribe to what AstroLogical has said regarding the nature of life on earth for us all. I believe that we create our futures in every second of every day, and within each moment is the potential for us to change direction. I do not think that a fatalistic answer of `yes you will,' or `no, you should not do that' is in any way helpful to you. If medicine is what you want to be doing, then pursue it, and if after a couple of years you find you are not suited to it, then you will have to gather yourself together and do something about it. Within that process, you will have to learn strength, resilience and self-reliance, something which perhaps you have a need to be learning. Were you to remain in medicine, then the same skills will be learned as you progress in your career.

As I see it, your chart is rather open-ended career-wise, and you are free to pursue several different career streams, but you will need to take into account several different drives which you have. As I read your chart, some of these drives may be:

• a deep desire to help others, as you are sensitive to how others feel and what their drives are. You also have a deep desire for recognition by others ........ so it is important for you to recognise what it is which is motivating you to be doing medicine. You only have to be honest with yourself.

• you are likely to experience a deep restlessness should you get stuck in a rut, no matter what job you are doing. This means you need to allow for variety and change in your work.

Since Pisces and Cancer are so powerful in your chart, and especially since you have Moon in Pisces, you must develop some kind of creative/artistic outlet in order to find balance in your life, otherwise you could suffer from burnout.

I have reached a stage in life when I know that it's not what we do with our lives which matters, but how we go about it, what drives us, and how we deal with the setbacks and obstacles we encounter. The rest is just cultural noise. Nothing is definite, nothing is `destined'. We always have the option to step away, or to respond to challenge in a different way.

Thanks for weighing in and sharing.
It seems, thus far, we have formulated very similar perspectives.
I try to allow for new transforming data, however.

For the sake of understanding I have tried with all my might to "try on" the mindset of viewing life as a predetermined/destined reality.
I can't seem to do it, even as a mental exercise as in, "what if" the whole show has already been aired.
Perhaps I am defective in my conceptual ability...
I'll blame it on my father who may have been inebriated at my conception.

I've often been amused at a fly in a window, buzzing around, flying at full speed, smashing into the glass, flailing so intensely without even a clue as to why it can see the world it desires to enter and yet has absolutely no clue what the invisible barrier is
nor why it is prevented from the light of day.
Are we flies in the window of the universe?
Is that the glass, the limit of destiny fatalists identify with?
Considering it this way is about as close as I can get...

At any rate it seems my/our perspective did not provide a satisfactory answer as Sagii has already re-posted the question, all be it in a slightly different form. I suppose it is a justifiable scientific approach. If you don't get the answer you are looking for, rephrase the question.
But does it redefine the framework of the universe?

IMHO you provided some very good advise and sound perspective.
Perhaps I should have just read the chart and not waxed so philosophical... but I couldn't ignore the premiss.

be well...

Probably

btw - in the chart you share it shows all the planets (except Chiron) on the right side of the chart. This does suggest a person who looks to others for direction and is less inclined to be self determining. Of course, "Balance" is always a goal for each of us, regardless. So, learning to rely more on your own compass is one of the personal focuses for you in this life. There will always be those times when you have to "go with your gut" because there is no one to turn to for direction.

And I thought that what you wrote above a couple of posts ago was spot on. Having almost all my planets on the RHS of my chart, I can relate to that as well.

Philosophically ..........

I just had a horary reading done by a professional astrologer in India. This reading was done according to the vedic astrology way. I have consulted him over a number of years and his predictions are 95% correct, however yesterday I received my reading as I posed a question of whether I should take the study of medicine to become a doctor and this was his response.

"There is no indication in the chart to say anything against that kind of thinking and therefore your desire to be a doctor can actually be fulfilled subject to certain other observations which I have to make. There are thousands of types of studies across the world and I do not even know their names. The astrological angle is not to magically pinpoint as to what kind of specialized professional study you should do but the astrological angle is to guide you for whatever thoughts are there on your mind in the form of alternatives. You have given me one alternative of medicine and that is indicated in the chart and I have nothing to say against that. But the purpose of astrology is to correlate the planetary positions of the chart so that your specific thoughts are aligned with the indications of the chart to give you a direction".

Is this true?????? Can some shed some light on this?

Many thanks

It's a personal belief that cultural upbringing plays a strong part in how one's life can and may be lived. Consulting a vedic astrologer could be indicative of a specific culture and personal sacrifices made within it. Who is put first? One's Self or others? This would seem to be of special significance in your life.

Using Western astrology and thought, other observations could be shown through a natal chart (the moment of birth) that comes under the influence of planetary motion alignment to it at specific periods in time. Whether this is destiny at work depends upon one's personal beliefs. Such a period appears to be influencing you at this time.

An astrologer looking at the chart might say that it has all the signs of achievement in a medical career.
BUT; circumstances could be occuring now that are swaying a resolve in that direction; possibly through the relationship sector that requires more free...or at least divided.... time and is interfering with the necessary
concentration regarding study. Thoughts and feelings are wandering elsewhere, causing confusion, which will automatically raise the question of whether studying medicine is one's destiny....... As compared to what????

Where taking up a profession is a vocation that a person feels very strongly to be called to as their destiny to follow, any choice becomes a decision easily made. There are no personal sacrifices. Yet if the light of what was considered vocational calling falls under the shadow of an outer force, its own light will shine less powerfully and may even fade in the sacrifice made to a force stronger than itself.
The choice and decision made can be the greatest test of all.

Faith in another can be built upon an illusion that may be only temporary of nature. Faith in one's self can forge a destiny that will last a lifetime.

Did your Indian astrologer use this chart, or a sidereal chart?

In any case, I agree with what has been posted above. At the same time, if we want to look at a chart to see where a native will make his/her money (not disreagarding that what makes us money in our lifetime does not have to define us, or even be our passion) then we might want to take a peek at the triplicity rulers, as well as the domicile ruler of the 2nd house. It's a night chart, so we get Sun as domicile ruler and trip ruler (which is cool, because the daytime trip ruler of Leo is Jupiter, who is retrograde and seriously new with it...in the 10th sign/11th house and it's no wonder the OP doesn't know what she wants to be when she grows up.)

Sun on cusp of 6th. The OP seems inclined to medicine, but those watery placements, as well as a few planets in the 6th, including Venus.

Sagi, what are you thoughts about veterinary medicine?

• Cancer ascendant - your chart is ruled by the moon, so you are emotional and changeable, and the concept of `family' is one which you may pursue in your life. (and I'm not necessarily suggesting that you will want a traditional type family, but a sense of belonging to some group - which then becomes your family)
• The Moon - your chart's ruler - is in the most sensitive sign of all, Pisces. It sits on your 10th house cusp, so career decisions will tend to come from hunches and feelings.
• Neptune in the 6th house can describe physical and health sensitivity.
• Chiron in the 12th house renders you susceptible to the feelings of others. You know when someone is sad, or in need of comfort. This is a really good quality for a physician, but it can easily result in burnout.
