What are your indicators in the natal chart? I sometimes wish I could start a second career. I am tired of sitting in front of a computer. When I was younger nursing or medicine wasn't even on my radar - but now I wonder... I have some training in an alternative healing modality and I'm quite good at it. But with Taurus MC and Saturn (+Jupiter) in the 2nd house, I want a safe path to earning a living (I'm a research engineer) and I express Venusian energy through arts on the side.I have Chiron conjunct MC in Taurus, square Moon+NN in the 12th house and square Venus+SN in 6th. That's good for healing. I can often feel other people's stuff - like energy, if something is hurting, without them saying anything. Sun+Mercury conj. Desc - good with people. But prominent Uranus - I don't like being constricted, following instructions if I think there's a better way etc. That could be an issue. My friend jokingly said I'd be a "problematic" nurse. Maybe that's actually good for dealing with emergencies. I also like money Some nurses seem to earn plenty of money, some not so much. I don't know enough about it. IP: Logged |

i've done homecare in the past and have worked in a nursing home, and am currently doing live in care. not sure where it would be in my western chart, but it's very easily seen in my vedic (sun in 12th, jupiter in 6th to name 2 placements off the top of my head) i don't like being constricted either, which is why i prefer what i'm doing now to working in a facility. there's more room to treat people like humans and actually meet their needs when you're not following some robotic schedule and understaffed to the point that it's not safe or healthy for anyone. that being said, while i do like my job i wouldn't necessarily recommend it. it can be emotionally taxing for people (not me though i do care and develop actual friendships with people etc) in a big way, and while some stuff you become desensitized to you gotta wonder if it's actually better or not to be that way. 🤷♀️ IP: Logged |

I worked in a hospital in my early 20s, I was a level 1 ER secretary. I have a packed 6th house, libra on the cusp but it's mostly scorpio. I think virgo/6th house placements tend to lean towards healthcare work. Dr's and nurses tend to have strong 6th houses. I would have loved to have had the chance to become a neurosurgeon. I used to read medical books/watch surgeries for fun and I've always been fascinated by the brain. IP: Logged |

That's what I was wondering - what is it that makes a nurse able to cope emotionally? The profession is very taxing. I have a great respect for nurses. I've had several in my surroundings (extended family, acquaintances) and I've always admired them and felt very calm and grounded around them.It saddens me a little bit to hear about the negative experiences with the system itself. I don't know if things were better in the past, but I have a feeling that people are increasingly frustrated with the system in many professions. In my case, I was very disappointed with academia. I get it - there has to enough Virgo and/or 6th house energy. I think some Cancer too. My spiritual teacher used to be a surgical nurse and had Mars in Cancer (I can't remember the rest of her chart now). I think my mother would have been a good nurse - also Mars in Cancer, Taurus Sun, Virgo Moon Neptune conjunction. Pisces energy is helpful but not sufficient. I think it is more aligned with spiritual healing and arts than physical care. So I asked my mother for her opinion, and she said I should stick with music and arts I just don't know how to earn money doing that! It makes sense though - I have far more Pisces than Virgo influence. I wish I can do more with the ability to feel other peoples energy/troubles, develop that further and actually help more directly. Working with technology day after day is so impersonal. IP: Logged |

I think with pisces you would soak up a lot of energy. Not so good when dealing with people who are usually at their lowest vibration. Excellent for music/arts though! My son has a lot of pisces, he is extremely gifted in music. Have you thought about possibly teaching? IP: Logged |

I think the incapability of the system will be Pluto in Aqua theme what already started with Uranus in Taurus. Many looking for a more effective way to do jobs and make money. Many tasted the freedom during pandemic. There’s already a proposed law of 4 days work week as being the full time.

Before I say anything, we should all give an applause to Dons2angelss, Librapurr, and Dumuzi. I have alot of respect for medical professionals especially when they make miracles happen!!!. I don't know if my Venus Taurus and Mars Cancer would be similar.
I know it's a long story, but please read...it might make your day!!!. While I was completing my undergrad I held a part time job as part of the hospital administration providing overnight accommodation for out of town patients. The hospital use to run an apprentice program were they'd train and house nurses on site. The ministry closed it then they turned it into a lodge for out of town patients or their family to vist free of charge. Before anyone entered or exited the lodge it was my role to do the "paperwork". There was this mid-aged couple with a 3rs old on life support, you'd have to see it..naturally your first though whould be I don't think the child will make it beyond next month. For about 2yrs the couple were in and out of the lodge, I know because I'd check the names of people registered. Then one day they were leaving the lodge and I was on duty, opposite of the desk is a play area with toys for kids to play. As I'm talking to the parent, I said I haven't seen you in a long time. They explained that they just came for a check up. I asked how's your daughter doing? She pointed to the play area..I smiled (something I never do). After years of successive heart surgeries the child was fully healthy and functioning. To this day and as I write this I still can't get that image out of my head of first seeing her daughter struggling to make it the next day. Then seeing her smiling and playing with the toys, doing what healthy children do. quote: Originally posted by Librapurr:

I’d use an advice how to become a research engineer. I’m dreaming of less stressful and less people influenced job. If I could work from a remote island … 🏝️ And have more time for my own things. But I didn’t go for IT for the reason I thought it might be not for me to look into a computer the whole day and can make my health worse. I’m reconsidering it now. I don’t really need the big money, but being comfortable.
Yes.. the grass is greener on the other side. Even in tech I always here the debate between private sector vs public sector tech. I'm in public because I figured it's recession and potentially depression proof. I make $10k less a year but I won't wake up with a pink slip tomorrow. It's very hard to get fired from a public service job in Canada unless you do something horribly horribly bad that's a criminal offense...like push an oligarch down the stairs. Trust me you don't want the engineer title, if something goes wrong and your assumed to be the most capable...it's handled to you and now becomes your problem!!! I'd had days were I ask myself, what did I do to deserve this. Also I say it many times IT and Software Development are two different things. IT is generally help desk support or tech services. I know several people that just have HS diplomas doing IT. You don't need a formal degree for IT just some industry certification(s). Software development requires more formal education and experience though. Expect some algorithm question during the interview.

Heh, yes, there's some of that "the grass is always greener", but I also think it's good and healthy occasionally to wonder what else is out there and see if we can do things differently if we're not entirely satisfied. It so hard to imagine anyone feeling excited about their profession their whole life. We grow, our priorities and motivation can change, life circumstances change, the world is changing insanely fast... And many people change their career entirely at some point.I am sorry if I can't quote everyone (this interface is clunky , but first, regarding engineering... I seceond @DualGemV2. The field is vast, and there are big differences depending on the specialty, level of education, type of the company, environment. Just like nurses have an extraordinary, unique ability to be around sick people and nurture (most people wouldn't be able to do it!), engineers/software developers have a huge amount of mental energy and ability to solve problems, day in and day out. Often all alone. I'd say that's the hardest part - it can get old for some people and lose meaning, but it's perfect for those who are introverted and have obsessive interests. Bay area has the highest concentration of kids with Asperger's and one hypothesis is that it's because of the parents who work in tech, which is a very suitable field for people with Asperger's. @Librapurr, perhaps transitioning to work behind a computer but related to medical field? https://generalassemb.ly/blog/making-a-career-transition-from-nursing/ Thanks @DualGemV2 for sharing your story! I can imagine that seeing the joy of life and recovery, having immediate impact and connecting with people on a more personal level, makes up for the heavy challenges of being in a medical profession. @Librapurr, I do know someone who became a software developer later in life, without formal education - it's rare but everything is possible. I think there are opportunities to get into the field without spending tons of money and time on education - it's not like the medical field where people's lives depend on you. But honestly with the AI advancing, a lot of simpler software development will be replaced by AI. I don't even know how to keep up with the technology anymore! It's so fast it's insane. I am highly specialized so I'm not worried, but I spent too much time on education. @Aries23Degrees, I try to avoid posting my chart and keep the discussion relevant to more people I did post it several times in some other threads... and I loved and really appreciated your insightful comments! quote: Originally posted by Dons2angelss: I think with pisces you would soak up a lot of energy.

See, I sometimes forget that. You are so right! Too much Neptune is not good for working in modern medicine! The reason I started pondering is because I listened to an interview with a nurse who is also psychic - can feel the energy and "see" with her minds eye what organ is failing. She was saying it's not so uncommon that nurses have some psychic abilities. On my recent flight someone behind me on the airplane was unwell... a doctor came, flight attendants gathered. It was just temporary dizziness, nothing serious but I had a very strong sensation in my energy field that something else IS wrong. Then I overheard the conversation where he said his father was either dying or had just died so it's making him feel weak physically. I feel like I’m not using and developing that ability enough. Among other things I have Neptune trine Asc, sextile Sun and Mercury, Moon in the 12th square Chiron, Mars in Pisces... I looked up the descriptions again, and each one said "very sensitive to vibrational energy, and should work on learning how to protect the energy field...", as you say, far better for music and raising people's vibration that way, than being constantly in an environment with people who are usually at their lowest vibration. (Side note, I have Mercury in Aquarius square Uranus and trine Pluto (Pluto 3rd house) - good for engineering and computer science). Teaching, yes, I've considered it! Maybe, one day. I didn't want to go that route because the salaries are higher in the industry. But if some circumstances change, I could do it. It's all about navigating the system haha. IP: Logged |

Maybe, later when I get into more positive mindset… Often when I go through my cycle of disappointment. I need to look very hard for the good things and motivation.
I had a lot of opportunity to interact with the patients. Sometimes people undergoing a serious health crisis just need someone talk to..and my Gemini self being the lowest dominator. Or i'd be able to figure out what and why they are here. Anyway I could never be a nurse or doctor, I'd be creeped out just like this clip from the Simpsons with Dr. Nick Riveria. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PAjorWMkWvM Or unable to eat steak after watching a person undergo surgery, lol. quote: Originally posted by Librapurr: Thank you for the information. Yes, AI might spoil things for many. I worry about AI taking all remote/ online jobs. I thought about an QA engineer, but I’ve heard this field might be oversaturated and it could be easily replaced with AI.I also have Neptune what makes working with people draining sometimes. I believe many health problems are psychosomatic, but traditional medicine doesn’t cure that. There’re things where you can see quick results, but in many situations you’re getting hook on pills for the long time. I know someone with Neptune and Uranus influence who does homeopathy and reject traditional medicine.
You might want to consider DevOps if your looking for QA and possibly DevSecOps then. I think your diplomatic Libra self whould be good at this role because at the end of the day your coordinating between the Project Managers and the Dev. Team. Is it saturated? well anyone can learn how to make a testing pipeline with Jenkins. But having someone with the soft skills to deal with difficult people is the harder skill to learn. As per AI there's a big misconception that it can do everything, this is only true if it's encountered a common or similar problem in the past that it's aware of or you can provide a learning/training data set for it to learn from. Otherwise if it's a new problem or something it hasn't encountered before AI will just stumble trying to learn. There's always new problems with DevOps, so I wouldn't be concerned. It can assist you with already existing bugs but it will still need a human to provide new bugs for it to learn from.
