Astrology and Career

Here is a string of comments that happened between Curt Rosengren and I.  (Is it plagerism to lift this from his blog?!@!)

From me to CurtRosengren.typepad.com (a must-visit blog).

Curt- I really enjoyed this exercise. I tried it on my blog, Lawlady.typepad.com. The only thing is... I think I don't understand what a story is... Or, I wrote some freaky story with an ending that seems sort of morose. What is the moral or punch line to a typical or great career story?

His post/comment back: 

Hi Stefani. Fun to read that.

Re your question, I can only answer it - as I typically do - with another question. What would the moral or punch line to a great career story be for YOU? Because it truthfully doesn't matter what I think would be a great punch line, since I'm not the one living your life. What is it that YOU want it to look like?

Which brings me to my next thought. Your story doesn't sound like it's finished. It sounds like it has actually just reached the beginning.

Now is when it starts to get interesting.

As the astrologer said, the top of your chart is your career house. After Saturn - the planet that kicks your butt into gear - finishes with your career, it moves on to kick you in the butt in your acquarian zones of influence, humanitarian concerns, places where you team up with others to pursue goals and values that have special meaning for you. Essentially, it's no longer about your career but doing what you
love that you feel is highly important, but the focus becomes more on personal fulfillment, not so much career advancement. Blah, blah, blah... I can see the wholistic career schtick coming right back at me. Isn't that just when your career gets interesting, right when you quit giving a fuck what anyone thinks and do it for love, for your own sanity.
