hey buddy
i am currently unemployed , have been looking for jobs for last couple of months. i would prefer a full time job but now that i have waited for long already and nothing positive has come my way i am open to work part-time / short-term as well.

should you need more information please do let me know

The chart cast has Aries rising, which is always a good sign of new beginnings. So you are signified by Mars. Mars has just entered Capricorn, which again is a sign of a new beginning through the change in Sign. Mars is in exaltation in Capricorn so you are well qualified for the job market (the type of job you wish to apply for) and Mars is also placed in the ninth House, which is a good placement. So you should be noticeable in the market - your applications should at least be given a good consideration even if you don't make it to the short list. Given that Mars is only just over 5 degrees from the tenth cusp (MC) and the tenth relates to career and profession. I'd say your chances of making that short list are actually good.

The MC also lies in Capricorn so the job is signified by Saturn ruler of the MC. Currently Saturn is in Scorpio, not usually seen as a good placement as Saturn is a 'dry' planet but Scorpio is a Water sign. However, we have a clear link between Mars and Saturn here. Mars is in the sign of Saturn's rulership and Saturn is in the sign of Mars' rulership - this is called a mutual reception - the job 'likes' you - in the sense that you match the person description for the job very well and you like the job (the job description is something that you can easily do - but it's not going to be challenging, as far as you are concerned.

Given your statement above, I don't think this is any reason to turn the job down. It will be OK, you will do well at it. The question, is will you actually get it? Mars is at 1 degree Capricorn, Saturn at 5 degrees Scorpio, so Mars is applying to a sextile with Saturn. The aspect link, plus the mutual reception suggests that you will almost be a cert for the job.

Given that Saturn signifies the job it is likely to be routine, well defined, slow paced traditional Saturn jobs are not exciting - miners, potters, plumbers, undertakers, candle makers' gardeners and horticulture and anything to do with looking after horses and stables. Now the latter is still an occupation but I'd also extend it to looking after parked vehicles. Those are a sample there are quite a few others, and of course you might not be directly involved at the sharp end of such a job, so you might be involved in the administrative or financial side of such a business.

Your income is signified by Mercury, retrograde in Scorpio. Although Mercury is angular, it is not in the same sign as the Seventh cusp and being Retrograde and Peregrine it's not exhibiting any signs of serious enrichment - the pay is not particularly good, as one would expect from most Saturn jobs. That Mercury is in Scorpio does indicate that it will be sufficient for your needs.

With Saturn angular, it's possible that this job will be a good stepping stone for further career moves.

I'd certainly expect to see you in work within 4 months and it could be as short as 4 to six weeks.

Bear in mind the reading suggests that you should get the offer of a job, or at least a very good chance of one, it does not guarantee that you will take it - you always have free will in such cases

This is very accurate. This has been my difficuty in recent interviews, because I suffer from anxiety I dont communicate well. It really bothers me, I clam up and in the end it might appear as though I an not good at communicating, but I am, it takes me a while to warm up. I was very hopeful with my last interview- but I have not heard from them yet and its almost 4 weeks.

My last interview was at a University. Do you think they will offer me the position, there is a lag, because there is a hiring freeze and budget cuts, but I was hoping they would work it out. Also the job is one that I want, though I anticipate that it will be slow, many days when there is not much to do. I was hoping to hear something from them over the holidays when classes are out. Do you think this is the institution that you might be seeing, its in undergraduate studies. Web specialist position.

It might be, though I would expect a University to show up as a ninth House institution. Also four weeks seems a fairly long period of time, so unless they told you that the post would take some time to be filled, I'd expect that job to be 'in the past' rather than the future. Which does imply that there are still the two jobs I mentioned out there. Are you applying to other universities and colleges? If so the description might hold if you are doing non-teaching work.

All your advice is good, and things that I am aware of , but having you confirm it does me a lot of good. So are u suggesting I dont take the first offer which will present itself soon, or take it and work on my skills while there? And second, concerning my income, you dont really see any increase in my income for a long while? Any time frame that I should receive an offer of any kind? And I guess I'm not talking about freelance work, because yes I recently got a call concerning that, but I dont consider that work, as it rarely is a steady income if an income at all. I hope that is not what you are seeing, as an offer. Someone wanted me to help them promote their website.

Your income will almost certainly rise when you get the job, but I don't see the job as being particularly well paid, please take my comments as being relative to the job not in an absolute sense - usually some income is better than none

Unless of course your benefit is reduced or removed as the result of employment, in which case the increase in your earnings may not be all that much. However, it is a good plan to get back into work and you may well find that once in employment and with your skills upgraded you are able to apply for better paid jobs.

I don't see much to choose between the two jobs, in the sense that the first should be easier to achieve but may not be particularly desirable. The second may be difficult to achieve, given the square aspect or it might involve you in travel or other costs which reduce it's value to you. I tend to look at things in a rather pessimistic way so I'd say there's no indication here that you would certainly be better off with job #2, assuming you get it. So unless job#1 is a massive let down, even though the job is there for the taking, or you can afford to risk not getting job #2, I would not advise you to turn down job #1, if offered.

That decision must be yours, based on your evaluation of job #1 assuming it comes along as predicted.

hi minderwiz , i cannot thank you enough for doing this reading at this time when i need to take care of a lot in my personal life . and suddenly job search has taken a back seat for me because of family issues that have crept up out of the blue. i was wondering why people were telling me that it is going to take a while before i am employed and that i needed some rest to recuperate . i can certainly connect now. and you have picked up almost right time (4 months from now) when i would be actually able to concentrate on my job search again and focus on my own life again. someone else needs me at this time and i need to take care of their needs and so i need to put a halt to my efforts for job search currently .
however , it brings hope that there are chances that i will be employed by the end of 4 months from now . i believe my financial situation is going to get affected going forward and i would need this job more than i need currently . so it definitely would come as a breather . however i would be in need of a job that could help me be financially stable ,not just be able to take care of my personal needs. i will be dealing with family responsibilities and stable job would be a must to be able to get along .

i need your help one more time .
is it possible for you to read if i get employed in 4/5 months time ,would it be a stable job ? and will i be able to get better financially over the year ? i know this first job won't be that good money wise ,as this has been told by many other readers on the forum. i want to know where will i stand in terms of my personal financial earnings ( not my overall financial situation which includes family resources ) one year from the time i get this first job ? will i grow financially more stable and better in next one year or 18 months ? how will the situation be in my life in terms of my personal income by the mid of 2014 ?

please do let me know should you need more information on this subject.

i find this reading coming from you well in time . it has come as a great relief ... i am hopeful again

thank you so much for sharing this insight .

Reading for Pacificwaters

Hello Minderwiz,

After having had a spot on reading from you sometime back, I wanna be selfish and request you for one more reading. I hope its ok with you and you are taking questions.

My question - I have been stuck in this current job since the last 10 years and no efforts at landing a new job are fructifying. Can I expect a better job that offers me more (both professionally and monetarily). If you need more details I shall be more than happy to provide.

Regards

The agreed period is 6 months and there are regular job applications being made.

Sorry for the delay, busy weekend and then Moon Void of Course. The chart cast has Gemini rising, so your significator is Mercury. Mercury has recently stationed Direct, so your situation has improved somewhat. However Mercury is still slow which means that you are handicapped in the 'race' for a new job. Mercury is placed in Scorpio where it is in it's own Terms. From this I'd say that you are qualified for the jobs that you are applying for, in that you meet the person specification for the job, but there are others out there who are even more able to meet the person spec with their qualifications and experience. Mercury is in the sixth House, which is inconjunct the Ascendant, and again suggests that you are 'difficult' to notice in the employment market. Coupled with Mercury being slow, you are poorly positioned to be noticed in recruitment opportunities.

The Job is signified by the ruler of the Aquarius MC, Saturn. Saturn too is in Scorpio, though in an earlierdegree. Saturn is Peregrine, suggesting that the job might be achievable with help and guidance. So your're in the right area for the job, geographically and/or in terms of qualifications, you're just not making the shortlists. And given that Mercury is in a later degree than Saturn you are not going to make those shortlists any time soon.

The nextt thing to look at is whether someone can help you in the timescale you've set. This is usually shown by a planet that the two significators aspect in turn. Saturn is the slowest planet, Mercury is usually the second fastest, so the Moon would be the only one that could achieve this 'translation of light', Currently Mercury is very slow so Venus can also be a possiibility.

The Moon at 7 degrees Gemini, is actually ruled by Mercury but sadly it does not aspect any planet in Scorpio. Venus is itself in Scorpio and the last planet it aspected was Saturn. The trouble is that it is already in partile square to Mars.

So Venus too will not lead the significators to come together. That does not look good for a favourable outcome. The last possibility was that Saturn and Mercury will meet through Antiscia but with both in the same sign this is not possible.

I'm sorry to say that the outlook is not good over these coming six months. Steps you can take are to ensure that your CV is up to date and well presented and that any letters of application are well written and 'sell you' to the shortlist panel. You might also consider getting professional help to ensure that your documentation is good and of course look to see what additional qualifications will help. It's not necessary to obtain them first, starting a qualification signals to the short list panel that you are still interested in professional development and can often be one of the factors that lead to short listing (which I know from experience on short lisitng panels and interviewing panels).

Good luck

Hello Minderwiz,

Thank you for the reading. I have absolutely no issues with the delay. Coming to the feedback for the reading. Well, to start with quite some aspects are true here.

Minderwiz said:

Coupled with Mercury being slow, you are poorly positioned to be noticed in recruitment opportunities.

You speak about an improvement in situation. You are quite right here. I have observed that the number of feelers that I have been getting of late are quite a lot as compared to what they were say about 4-5 months ago. The number of offers I started getting, started making me feel a bit positive about expecting a job change which I so desperately desire. Also, further on you talk about being “qualified” for the job and also meeting “specifications”. This I also agree full on. In my field of HSE, I have an experience of more than 11 years, and I know that in this field in my country, this is a very big asset. So it beats me why I am not making the final cut. I mean I can sense from the emails/phone calls that I have been short-listed, but well I do not hear from them again. And from those whom I do hear again, well the pay is not what I want, so I have to turn them down, despite knowing that the job exposure at their end could be good! As regards being difficult to notice, I have no idea why this is happening, but yes it is happening. Probably my stars!!! But yes, now that you have also said this I would make a very pro-active effort at re-designing my CV.

I do not understand what exactly you mean by “….job might be achievable with help and guidance”. Do you mean using contacts to put in a word??? Wouldn’t that be unfair?? Like I said in my feedback above, yes, I know I have a very good experience on my CV, along with a federal job (which unfortunately pay less) and a good degree to boot. But unfortunately, not succeeding much in the job market!

So I guess you were indeed talking about receiving help from someone else to land a good job. I think you are right here about having no possibility of someone helping me. Usually people do not help, especially for a job, unless you go out and ask them for their help (at least in India). As of now, though I am desperate to get another opening I don’t think that I am that desperate either where I go and ask others to get me a job. So I think I can see how this would be true too!

How I wish I would have had a rosier outcome

Well, anyways I will keep trying though. And obviously the first thing that I plan to do now is make my CV more saleable. Have some free days coming up next week. Would ensure that I update my CV and highlight my “selling points”. I had read somewhere how important it is to have well written application letters. I think I didn’t pay much attention to this, thinking that my CV would sell me, but now I guess, I would also be working on this. You also mentioned about additional qualification. Well I am currently working on my doctorate too. That is mentioned in my CV. I hope it projects me better : fingers crossed :

Thank you very much for the fine reading.

Sincere regards

Minderwiz

I saw 'help and guidance' as being helping you to sell yourself to prospective employers, rather than getting an insider to help. Recruitment methods and procedures change a little over time, so anyone that has been in a post for more than three or four years but is now looking for employment will need to do some work in getting themselves up to speed.

In a highly competitive market there are a wealth of suitable candidates who match or exceed the person specification. That is where the CV and application letters come in. Application letters should not be standard, they have to be tailored to each job and the particular employer's need....for example, how does your doctorate benefit them...not just in general but particularly with in the context of this job. Getting that right will increase your chances.

I do hope that something not only comes up but meets your needs and of course the needs of the employer.

pacificwaters

Thanks for clarifying. I think I understand now as to what you meant in "help and guidance"

Thanks for this very detailed explanation. I believe for sure that my application letters were not up to the mark - the way I guess they should have been. I realize that I didn't tailor them always, and when I did they were just sort of bordering on the edge. Will definitely iron out this aspect in the next job call that comes my way.

Thank you so very much for your added insight in addition to the reading.

safari

I'm now ready to read for this under the changed circumstances you outlined. In a real sense this is a new reading and is not bound by the circumstances and outcome of the first one, so it should no longer be taken that you will get employed in 4/5 months. So can you confirm that this new question and time scale are still what you want.
