The main principles with Gemini MC, as how he is right now, he will always have more than one career path and very well be doing both at once.
I have faith that people actually do have very good intuition of what they want in life. The entire chart, the entire planetary energy is his life force this life force will express it highest status through the MC. If you think of the angular house, 1st, 4th, 7th and 10th, the increased of numbers and equal increased of the importance. 1st is the seed and 4th as the root of a tree, 7th as the growth of life through working together, 10th is the flower and I would consider 11th house as the fruits of it's life force then the tree will die that is 12th house lost of self but back to the ground to the unity with the solid.
You don't need to worry about him too much. The process may be worrying and certain level of uncertainty with anxiety is very common and part of life. That's where all the ups and downs and fun really is. To enjoy the process of life you must see the darkness while approaching to the light. And so the cycle continue. In term of law he will need a very significant 9th house. I have not notice much of that so far.
Dear Po yi,
It's the first time I see the cycle of the twelve houses presented in this way; I like your analogy. See, both of us study Astrology, and he's also studying his chart and asking himself about it; he has also thought about the 9th house (and about not having planets in Libra) when deliberating about his career — he has also studied the chart of one of his idols, Samuel Johnson, which gave him an idea of what a "Law themed chart" would appear like. While he doesn't see how Computer Sciences "resonates" with the rest of his map, he also can't find Law there.
But I do disagree with him in this. I mean... while each profession has, maybe, what we could call "core energies", I think much of it changes from place — a lawyer is a lawyer everywhere, but it must be different to be one in Australia and one in North Korea or Bolivia... in these latter cases, things would be pretty hardcore; if one was to follow what he feels that's right and fought for it, he would be fighting for his own life in some instances. In places where the law tends to change to justify the acts of The Party (and not the other way around), I don't see many of the Libra manifestations taking place. In this environment, the one we have here, I think he could do well and do good things. Anyways, he's uncertain on this point, and therefore not directing his energies properly. He told me that he feels that he was given much in communication, in convincing and expressing his opinions; plus many philosophical interests that would be better suited to and deepened in Law. Dunno about other places, but HERE this area would provide many opportunities that he wouldn't find in any other — I am speaking about opportunities of getting acquainted with certain people, getting books, traveling so he could learn in other places etc. (You see, when Socialism rules, the State tends to devour everything, including professional possibilities; Law tends to become prominent.) Or maybe he's right. Maybe, as he thinks, maybe even while being able of succeeding in this area and doing some good stuff, he would be no better than the others, perhaps a little more clever (reading 20 books per year puts you 19 books ahead of most people here, and since their only idea of spending time tends to do with serious dissipation...), but nevertheless in the road to corruption and maybe tyranny.
See, I hope he will be so happy, but, also, one the things I fear most, for me and for anyone about whom I do care, is to become an example of those Walter Scott verses that go this way:
The wretch, concentred all in self,
Living, shall forfeit fair renown,
And, doubly dying, shall go down
To the vile dust, from whence he sprung,
Unwept, unhonor'd, and unsung.
See, I have known him from sometime and know the kind of life he endured. I would like to see his Sun in 10th shine a little bit, for him some happy days. Even if the verses speak about the man he's afraid of become by the Law, by this or by anyway he chooses, I would be glad to see him realize his true potential, so he wouldn't die
unsung.
I will talk to him and I am sure he will like to study all the information you have kindly presented. I am sure that this will help him getting the one thing he wants: that whatever he does, he does what he really wants, and that, be it as it may, he doesn't "die an idiot in the end" (his words).
Thank you very much.
