Ms Libra Asks 'What's The Best Career For Me?'

Q: I recently completed my master degree in law. Can tell me what a good career choice would be? I am having trouble finding a job. Should I keep trying or go back to law school for a second master? Also, will my luck change concerning life in general and my love life? The last few years have been tough. I’ve fallen in love with this guy, I really hope it will work out. Any info would help. Thanks!

A: With your Sun and communication planet Mercury in Libra, a sign passionate about justice and fairness, and in the 9th House – the area of the chart related to law, rules and regulations, being involved in law/the legal industry is actually quite a good fit for you. Additionally, anything that involved communication and/or teaching, especially with international connections, would also fit.

With your personal career planet, Mars, right near your ascendant, having a job helps define your identity and boost your self esteem. Mars is strongly placed in your chart, in the sign of his exaltation, and suggesting that ultimately you will be quite successful in your career.

However, Mars has been receiving two intense transits, one from Saturn and another from Pluto. The Saturn/Mars transit ran from Nov 2009 – Aug 2010 and is known to create delays with work and direction. Combat this by being patient and persistent and staying focussed on what you really want to do.

Pluto/Mars began in Jan 2009 and ends in Oct 2010, and challenges you to change how you are in the world, as well as how you assert yourself. Are you being as proactive as possible in terms of finding work? You’ve got the power now so use! Certainly now that the Saturn transit has lifted you should find it easier to get work going forward than you have over the past 9 months.

In October, Saturn enters your study zone and undertaking post grad courses or further study might be appropriate. It may work best to get study part time around work.

Emotionally you’ve been on a rollercoaster since May when Uranus began transiting your sensitive Pisces Moon. This transits finishes in March 2011, and you may find it easier to create stability in your life – love and work wise – after then. Short term job contracts or fun, flirty relationships are more likely under Uranus. Be flexible and spontaneous!
