Fulfilling Job/Career/Vocation/Way of Life

[J]

Hello everyone!         I'm new around here.

Glad to have finally joined this community.   


Anyway, although the title was pretty self explanatory, I'll try to make my question(s) a little more specific.

So, since I'm relatively new to EA, I'm just wondering if there is a specific system that EA uses to discern and factor out what the most fulfilling /job/career/ etc would be.

I also realize that there are a few posts on this topic already, but, they didn't seem to scratch the itch.

     Now, I also know that there is no easy answer, and that the chart/person/their life experiences, etc, must be considered as a whole, to make the best assessment about what their most fulfilling life's work might be. And I also know, that this answer itself can change, over time, as the person and their life experiences unfurl and develop.   
     We can all go from fame & fortune, to suffering & poverty in an instant - or vice versa - and therefore, the whole subject would need to be modified and re-assessed anyway, even if you thought you had a pretty solid idea before.

     Anyway, like I said. I guess what I'm looking for, are various people's opinions on the methods, systems and interpretive techniques they would employ, to begin interpreting this quandary one step at a time, in an orderly and effective/efficient manner.
     Do you always start with one planet/house/sign/point, for example?  Do you usually follow the same steps for each chart, give or take?  Or do you find it varies wildly from chart to chart?

     I myself would love to develop a more linear and structured/streamlined system for helping people more effectively and confidently find their true life calling.  It's very frustrating when you yourself seem unsure about it in the end, or have multiple answers, that are vague at best. That's not what they want to hear, you know.
     The clients come to us a lot because they are lost, and they just want someone to offer them some clarity and guidance that they feel they can trust, so they can leave your session feeling confident and instilled with a new sense of purpose and direction concerning their future.

...I think it's moments of short-coming just like these, that drive many/most astrologers to deepen and perfect their practice/knowledge/art even further.  (Besides just their own inner drive and fascination, of course)

So, yeah.

Here's the things I might consider, in no particular order, and why:

The Sun - just like a real Sun, we must also find endless ways to, "Re-ignite" ourselves, if we are to "Shine" in the world. We need to find that "Fuel" to burn, less we have our light "Snuffed out" - which is never a good situation to find yourself in.  In fact, If your personal life-force is depleted like that, you won't feel like doing much of anything at all...

The Moon - Anyone knows, that you become damned uncomfortable pretty quick when your Moon energy isn't satisfied.  If something (like your job, for example, which you spend a significant amount of time doing) is going against the grain of your natural/personal psychological tenancies, that you need to feel emotionally/psychologically comfortable, then you're obviously going to have a pretty difficult time doing it for long.

The Ascendant - If that part of us that initially meets the world every day (and the people in it), that part of us that is always "becoming" and moving forward through the world like the crest of a wave, is not getting any recognition or inspiration or stimulation at all, again, we're probably going to feel pretty let down and dissatisfied with our daily work. I feel like it's that part of us that needs that initial electrical jolt, like the posts on a car battery, to get the rest of the machine running, and "Enlivened" again.  (But, a lot of that can be Mars, as well...)

The, "Professional" Houses - 2, 6, and 10.   I don't think I need to get into the reasons why on these, as things would get tedious in a hurry, and the reasons are probably obvious anyway. 
     (Basic survival needs, and the comfort and security/stability they bring, you daily routines and service in the world, how, and in what style, and lastly - your part in, and contribution to, the public organism as a whole, and what your social standing is because of it, what kind of long term foundational structure are you setting up for yourself, what energies you have to work with, and how you might best pursue those long terms goal and ambitions, etc, etc, etc)

The 11th house - What kinds of groups and organizations you could most easily fit in with/work with, as well as what types of things and places will bring you the most Gains in life.  (Gains you made from your work in the 10th house, for example)

Saturn, (Obviously) - Again, let's not even get into it.

Another thing I find EXTREMELY important when considering one's most fulfilling, "Life Calling" is their North Node placement. (Sign/House/Aspects/other involved planets/Etc)
     Again, this is probably all pretty self explanatory as far as why this would be important and even critical to a person feeling "Fulfilled" in their life, on a deeper and more meaningful level - not just on the material one.  If you want that feeling of deeper spiritual awake-ness and engagement in the present moment in your life, and you want to feel as if things have, "Clicked", or to feel as if you're finally walking on your right path, or, "In the flow" then the North Node and related things absolutely have to be considered.

So yeah - clearly, I could go on and on, but you get the picture. There are still the Hemispheres to consider, Qualities, Elements, blah blah blah off into infinity.

I would just love it if someone could share their step by step methods or processes they take to organize all these little bits and pieces (in the EA fashion), so they aren't so overwhelming, and so you can arrive at a more solid conclusion more often, that you can trust and have confidence in, as far as helping people to find their most fulfilling work in life.

Thank you all very much for any insight you could give.   I would endlessly appreciate it. 

I wish you all a long and healthy life, full of joy and purpose, and I also thank you for your combined efforts to keep this amazing and invaluable knowledge and art form alive for future generations.

Sincerely,

- J

Hi J,

In EA it is essential that one understands the core EA paradigm in any given chart, natal Pluto, it's polarity point, the N and S Nodes of the Moon, the location of their planetary rulers, and the aspects to them first. Then to understand the evolutionary level of development: the four natural evolutionary states. From there to understand why the Soul has chosen, in any given life, the country, culture, or tribe at birth which correlates to what is possible in any given social grouping like that.

From there to look at the 2nd, 6th, and 10th houses by sign on their cusps, then to locate the planetary ruler of each, and the aspects they are making. These are the natural houses that correlate to work, and integrating oneself through a work or career in the context of the country of birth, culture or tribe. If a Soul chooses to move to another country, etc, then to understand what the possibilities are in that context.

One can also examine the placement of the signs Virgo, Capricorn, and Taurus on whatever houses, and the location of their planetary rulers with aspects, to further understand the totality of all the dynamics within the Soul that correlate with actualizing the work or career archetypes in their Soul context equaling it's ongoing evolutionary and karmic needs. 

This is the correct way to do it from and Evolutionary Astrology point of view.

God Bless, Rad

In EA we learn that one must understand the whole chart, instead of this or that symbol, to answer such questions.
