<h4>Searching for our vocation is easily among the most pressing concerns for anyone. What do your stars say?</h4>
<p> </p>
<p>I often get questions like, “Can you look at my chart and tell me what industry I should be in?” Now, the truth is, an <a href="http://www.thefinder.com.sg/singapore-expat-life/living-singapore/3-easy-feng-shui-tips-2016">astrologer</a> doesn’t look at your chart and go “Ah, you’re a nurse / lawyer / florist / road sweeper!”, simply because there isn’t a planet, sign or house that’s assigned to every single possible vocation on earth.</p>
<p>What an astrologer CAN see though, is if a sense of right and wrong is paramount to you. Or if you absolutely judge your career choices by <a href="http://www.thefinder.com.sg/lifestyle/career-money/are-you-control-your-finances">monetary</a> remuneration alone, or vice versa, you don’t care about the remuneration, as long as the job involves doing things you enjoy. We can see if you have creative talent for writing, <a href="http://www.thefinder.com.sg/kids/young-parenting/how-raise-music-lover">music</a>, design, or that you have the desire to get into such professions, but don’t have the requisite innate talent to actually succeed at the top of the game.</p>
<p> </p>
<h4>Here is a glimpse of what astrologers look at when doing career readings:</h4>
<div><img class="aligncenter wp-image-23309 size-full" src="http://maysim.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/Chart-of-Steven-Spielberg-born-18-Dec-1946-6.16pm-Cincinnati.png" alt="" width="1038" height="827" /></div>
<div>
<p><em>Example: Chart of Steven Spielberg, born on 18 December 1946 at 6.16pm in Cincinnati, Ohio, USA</em></p>
<p> </p>
<h4>A) The Ruler of the Midheaven</h4>
<p>The Midheaven is the black arrow at the top of the chart, and it is one of the indicators of your “life path”, which, for most of us, determines the kind of <a href="http://www.thefinder.com.sg/lifestyle/career-money/5-tips-improve-productivity-work">work</a> we end up doing. The ruler of the sign on the Midheaven indicates the kind of industry that’s most aligned with our <a href="http://www.thefinder.com.sg/articles/home_page/2502-Lifestyle-tips-from-busy-bees%3Fsection%3DSERVICES">career</a> objectives, and also describes our approach to it.</p>
<p>For example, Spielberg’s Midheaven ruler is Jupiter in Scorpio in the 5th house. 5th house: associated with creative product, such as the media, leisure, fun, <a href="http://www.thefinder.com.sg/kids">children</a>.<br />Scorpio: intense, penetrative, not doing things in half-measures</p>
<p>Given the fact the Steven Spielberg is still one of Hollywood’s top directors, the career indicator is a fitting one. An astrologer would describe this as someone “in the right line of work”.</p>
<p> </p>
<h4>B) The House Position of the Sun</h4>
<p>If you depend entirely on Sun sign descriptions of yourself, some astrology sources may seem “inaccurate” when describing your career inclinations, for example you might be a Scorpio, described as being into investigation, mysteries, the occult, <a href="http://www.thefinder.com.sg/kids/young-parenting/12-misconceptions-you-need-know-if-trying-conceive">sex</a>, taboo topics and so on, but you might be in a trade that’s incongruous to that description, say, a <a href="http://www.thefinder.com.sg/kids/young-learning/childcare-or-kindy">kindergarten</a> teacher!</p>

<div id="teads-outstream"> </div>
<div id="zone-outstream" class="ad-zone outstream" data-google-query-id="CJTj17SaoegCFU-faAodEOQPdQ">
<p>You are so much more than just a Sun sign, but apart from that, often it is the house position of the Sun, not the sign, that gives me more clues about career paths / industries.</p>
<p>For example, Spielberg has his Sun in the 6th house, which typically describes someone who’s quite hands-on and process-oriented. Such people are typically low-key and detail-oriented, often concerned with precision and getting things right (sometimes to the extent of perfectionism). Considering he’s not an actor, but the director/producer, that’s just about right!</p>
<p> </p>
<h4>C) Planets in the 1st House</h4>
<p>The 1st house in a birth chart may affect <a href="http://www.thefinder.com.sg/body-soul/spas-salons/take-years-your-look-these-skin-treatments">physical appearance</a> on a superficial level, but going further than that, the 1st house is all about our personal identity. Many people identify strongly with what they do for a living i.e. “I am a digital marketer” or “I am a chef”, and this could be described by planets contributing to their sense of sense in the 1st house of a birth chart.</p>
<p>Spielberg doesn’t have anything in the first house, but the house is ruled by <a href="http://www.thefinder.com.sg/singapore-expat-life/living-singapore/legends-mid-autumn-festival">Moon</a> in Scorpio in 5th House, which we saw earlier refers to his creative product, i.e. his <a href="http://www.thefinder.com.sg/whats-hot/things-do/top-6-movies-2015-singapore">movies</a>, and this further emphasises how important his <a href="http://www.thefinder.com.sg/kids/young-learning/insiders-guide-creative-learning-schools-singapore">creative</a> identity is to him.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Every individual chart tells its own story, and there are a myriad of ways in which a good astrologer can discern the layers of your self-expression. When you’re in the right line of work, your natural strengths can click into place and deliver worthy results.</p>

Your 2016 Astrology: Is Your Career Right for You?
Credit: TheFinder Magazine
Searching for our vocation is easily among the most pressing concerns for anyone. What do your stars say?
I often get questions like, “Can you look at my chart and tell me what industry I should be in?” Now, the truth is, an astrologer doesn’t look at your chart and go “Ah, you’re a nurse / lawyer / florist / road sweeper!”, simply because there isn’t a planet, sign or house that’s assigned to every single possible vocation on earth.
What an astrologer CAN see though, is if a sense of right and wrong is paramount to you. Or if you absolutely judge your career choices by monetary remuneration alone, or vice versa, you don’t care about the remuneration, as long as the job involves doing things you enjoy. We can see if you have creative talent for writing, music, design, or that you have the desire to get into such professions, but don’t have the requisite innate talent to actually succeed at the top of the game.
Here is a glimpse of what astrologers look at when doing career readings:
Example: Chart of Steven Spielberg, born on 18 December 1946 at 6.16pm in Cincinnati, Ohio, USA
A) The Ruler of the Midheaven
The Midheaven is the black arrow at the top of the chart, and it is one of the indicators of your “life path”, which, for most of us, determines the kind of work we end up doing. The ruler of the sign on the Midheaven indicates the kind of industry that’s most aligned with our career objectives, and also describes our approach to it.
For example, Spielberg’s Midheaven ruler is Jupiter in Scorpio in the 5th house. 5th house: associated with creative product, such as the media, leisure, fun, children.
Scorpio: intense, penetrative, not doing things in half-measures
Given the fact the Steven Spielberg is still one of Hollywood’s top directors, the career indicator is a fitting one. An astrologer would describe this as someone “in the right line of work”.
B) The House Position of the Sun
If you depend entirely on Sun sign descriptions of yourself, some astrology sources may seem “inaccurate” when describing your career inclinations, for example you might be a Scorpio, described as being into investigation, mysteries, the occult, sex, taboo topics and so on, but you might be in a trade that’s incongruous to that description, say, a kindergarten teacher!
You are so much more than just a Sun sign, but apart from that, often it is the house position of the Sun, not the sign, that gives me more clues about career paths / industries.
For example, Spielberg has his Sun in the 6th house, which typically describes someone who’s quite hands-on and process-oriented. Such people are typically low-key and detail-oriented, often concerned with precision and getting things right (sometimes to the extent of perfectionism). Considering he’s not an actor, but the director/producer, that’s just about right!
C) Planets in the 1st House
The 1st house in a birth chart may affect physical appearance on a superficial level, but going further than that, the 1st house is all about our personal identity. Many people identify strongly with what they do for a living i.e. “I am a digital marketer” or “I am a chef”, and this could be described by planets contributing to their sense of sense in the 1st house of a birth chart.
Spielberg doesn’t have anything in the first house, but the house is ruled by Moon in Scorpio in 5th House, which we saw earlier refers to his creative product, i.e. his movies, and this further emphasises how important his creative identity is to him.
