“Will I find steady employment again? Thank you, Sherrie”
You will when you’re clear about what you need to be doing and what will bring you the most joy. Taurus is a workhorse. I know you’re not working because you’re not capable or willing. But right now your spirit is low because what you’ve done before no longer inspires you. It’s difficult because Taurus doesn’t welcome change, and with Sherri’s natal sun in the 8th house there is a tendancy to really focus on the survival aspects of life.
Let’s look at Sherrie’s chart more closely (Sherrie-Work-Biwheel). Sherrie is a Taurus with Venus and the moon close to her sun. Virgo, the ruler of her ascendent is also in Taurus. She has seven planets in fixed signs- this is someone who holds on and isn’t quick to change courses. The elements in astrology aptly describe our basic nature- whether that is energetic and active (like fire) or sensitive and emotional (like water). Fixed signs are also very much about security- and the less things change the greater the sense of security. But Taurus need to remember that that isn’t always the case- change is often necessary for renewal and building fortitude.
But over the last few years Sherrie has had her progressed Uranus and progressed Sun move over her MC, or career area. And in addition to those planets we find transiting Pluto squaring the whole lot at the end of his stay in Sagittarius. These are all major transits, and ones that coincide with a person desiring change, liberation, and fulfillment from his or her career. And because it’s affecting one angle (the MC in this case) also implies that it’s had a domino effect in the other angular areas of her life- her home (the IC), relationships (the Descendent), and how she approaches the world (Ascendent).
Sherrie has Gemini on the MC- so first of all it’s very likely that you’ll have multiple careers in your lifetime, as Gemini is the sign of twins. Gemini is also about speaking, writing, and learning. I’d venture to guess that Sherrie’s careers up to this point have involved at least some of those activities. The ruler of Gemini, Mercury, is also in Taurus in the 8th house, so perhaps her career involved teaching or sales. Taurus in the 8th makes me think of an insurance salesman or someone who sells financial instruments of one kind or another. Or perhaps she is an artist – doesn’t know it yet.
To answer your question directly- yes, you will find steady work again. The tumult of these past few years was to wake you up- to help you get in touch with something deeper inside of yourself that you’ve kept buried for too long. The transits of the outer planets, like Pluto, Neptune, or Uranus, are about helping us step outside of our comfortable egos and really get to the heart of the matter.
Transiting Neptune has also been squaring Sherrie’s progressed MC, which is now in Leo in the 11th house. Neptune’s function is to dissolve in order to get to the essense of something. Leo- another artist sign- is where both the progressed MC and the progressed moon are right now. The progressed moon is like a flashlight into our lives, and where it spends 30 months in a sign is where we’ll turn our focus. The progressed moon in Leo in the 11th house- that sounds like someone who is learning to express herself a little more among groups. Or it could be someone who is learning to become the leader of a group. Either way, you need the energy and attention of other like minded people right now- and whehter you find that in a local actors workshop or through a cause you truly believe in, I would encourage you to get involved.
And, the more you’re able to network the more likely you’ll come across more potential job leads.
Keep in mind, Sherrie that you’re also in a new progressed lunar phase. About two to two and a half years ago you turned a major chapter in your life. Now you’re at the start of a new 30 year cycle, so it’s natural to be apprehensive and unsure at this part of the journey- you’ve stepped onto a road you’ve never been down before. Over the next few years you’ll have the opportunity to make a clearer choice about which direction you want to take, so now that you have some time on your side I’d encourage you to do some real soul searching. It’s an astrological spring time in your life- what do you want to plant? What kinds of things do you want to harvest in about 13 years when you have your progressed full moon?
You will be productive again, Sherrie. That’s no doubt. But don’t look to the past of what you’ve been used to to provide it for you. It’s time to step out, be innovative, and seize the moment.
I wish you much success and do let us know how things work out!
Namaste’
