WELCOME
To a new way of looking at your career interests! Our purpose through this career report, is to help you clarify your goals. Your astrologically based report contains ideas and information which can help you choose a satisfying career and suitable work environment.
Effective planning begins with knowing yourself--your interests, strengths and limitations, preferences, aspirations and motivations. Some of these aspects of your personal potential are touched upon in the following pages. A printed report such as this does have certain limitations. A face-to-face consultation is needed to include relevant factors (such as your educational qualifications, financial resources, work experience, and personal constraints). This report therefore gives a broad range of possibilities.
We suggest you use this analysis together with other avenues of expression: discussions with professional career counselors or school guidance specialists; visits to workplaces of interest to you; and research in your public library. Talk with recruiting personnel, company employees and representatives of labor unions and/or professional associations; and gather information about educational requirements, earnings, working environments, employment opportunities, and the future outlook for various careers which interest you. Doing these things will help to establish your personal career priorities.
We hope you enjoy using all the information contained within this report, as well as the ideas in the accompanying Supplement.
READ ON!
At the present time, there are thousands of different careers from which to choose. Although finding the "right" one for you may seem a difficult task, we invite you to begin by studying your own astrological birth chart and then considering your own personal needs and interests.
------------------------------------------------------- 1. YOUR ASTROLOGICAL BIRTH CHART -------------------------------------------------------
Your birth chart is really just a "photograph" of the zodiacal positions of the Sun, Moon, and Planets in the sky when you were born, plus the degree of the zodiac rising up over the eastern horizon (Ascendant), and the degree of the zodiac highest in the sky at that time, (MC / Midheaven).
In your birth chart, the Sun, Moon, Planets, Ascendant and MC (Midheaven) are in the following signs of the zodiac:
The Sun is in Gemini The Moon is in Cancer Mercury is in Gemini Venus is in Cancer Mars is in Virgo Jupiter is in Pisces Saturn is in Aquarius Uranus is in Sagittarius Neptune is in Cancer Pluto is in Gemini
The Ascending / Rising Sign is Libra The MC (Midheaven) Sign is Cancer
While taking the "photograph" is simple, analyzing it is time-consuming, and an art. Having the computer do a lot of the work saves time! It also helps with the analysis.
To assess your chart we first take a look at the Sun, Moon, the Planets, and the signs of the zodiac in your chart to see which ones are astrologically the strongest. The strongest show us what you need to be happy, and how other people perceive you and your strengths.
------------------------------------- 2. YOUR PERSONALITY -------------------------------------
The strongest sign(s) in your chart are: Gemini, Cancer and Libra.
The strongest planet(s) in your chart are: The Sun, Mercury and Uranus.
Some of the following character traits may be very unlike some of the other traits. People are complex beings! Depending on your stage of life development and the situation or environment you're in, most of the following traits should be true of you.
We believe your friends will describe you as:
intelligent, clever, witty, vocal, dexterous, talkative, flexible, literate, curious, and a jack of all trades.
affable, friendly, charitable, receptive, malleable, emotional, street-smart, worldly, but loyal.
authoritative, commanding, ambitious, dramatic, energetic, dignified, creative, playful, and entertaining.
courteous, elegant, amiable, charming, sociable, obliging, artistic, refined, harmony seeking, and fashionable.
unusual, rebellious, progressive, exciting, unconventional, cool and detached, independent, and at times explosive.
---------------------------------------------------------- * STRENGTH OF PLANETS AND SIGNS * ----------------------------------------------------------
If you are a student of astrology, you will probably want to know the relative strengths of planets, asteroids and signs in your chart. The following graphs indicate how strong or weak we believe each sign and planet to be. (See the next section for further explanations).
0....1....2....3....4....5....6....7....8....9....10 The SUN ............oooooooooooooooooooooooooooo The MOON .......oooooooooooooooooo MERCURY .......oooooooooooooooooooooooooooo VENUS .............ooooooooooooooooooooooooo MARS .............oooooooooooooooo JUPITER ..........oooooooooooooooo SATURN ..........oooooooooooooooo URANUS ...........oooooooooooooooooooooooooo NEPTUNE ........oooooooooooooooo PLUTO .............oooooooooooooooo (CERES) ...........ooooooooooooo (ATHENA) ........ooooo (JUNO) .............ooooooooo (VESTA) ...........oooooooo (CHIRON) .........oooooooooooooo
0....1....2....3....4....5....6....7....8....9....10 ARIES ...............ooo TAURUS ..........ooo GEMINI ............ooooooooooooooooooooo CANCER ..........ooooooooooooooooooooo LEO ..................oooooo VIRGO ..............oooooooooooo LIBRA ...............oooooooooooooooooo SCORPIO ..........ooooooooo SAGITTARIUS .ooooooooooooooo CAPRICORN .... AQUARIUS ......ooooooooo PISCES ............oooooo
0....1....2....3....4....5....6....7....8....9....10
What the previous graphs will mean to you is:
With the sign Gemini or the planet Mercury strong in your chart, you
- like communicating your ideas to everyone - are a generalist, and will have a hard time specializing in one particular field - need variety - are very curious and versatile - will probably have had five to ten different careers by the time you retire - need to check that someone is listening when you want to talk - are a born teacher
With the sign Cancer or the Moon strong in your chart, you
- need to feel emotionally close to your family - need to feel you really belong in your community - would REALLY like to own your own home - are very aware of your need for emotional security - need to be able to nurture or mentor people on the job - can be very loyal to the company you work for, if they are loyal to you - are conventional in outlook
With the sign Leo or the Sun strong in your chart, you
- need to express your creativity through your work - enjoy a leadership role - are dramatic and entertaining - love to take risks - are confident of your abilities - are energetic and spontaneous - need to feel that your job is fun to do! - like working with children
With the sign Libra or the planet Venus strong in your chart, you
- need a lot of people in your life - are sociable and pleasant with people - enjoy hosting social events, parties and corporate functions - are cooperative and diplomatic - enjoy seeing things done WELL! - need a committed relationship to be really happy
With the sign Aquarius or the planet Uranus strong in your chart, you
- enjoy changing other peoples perspective, but people find it difficult to change yours - are progressive and a reformer by nature - need an unconventional career - like being independent and slightly rebellious (sometimes VERY rebellious) - must have a creative job that allows you to be inventive - will go for years resisting new ideas and then suddenly, will completely adopt new ways of thinking
Some of your needs represented by planets and signs may be in direct conflict, one with the other. This is normal, most everyone has at least one set of conflicting elements in his or her individual make-up. The solution seems to be to organize your schedule so you have time to meet all needs. The more completely you provide for your important needs, the happier you will be.
* THE ELEMENTS * -----------------------------
To obtain an overview of the birth chart, an astrologer will group the signs in various ways. One of these groups is called the ELEMENTS. Within this group are four categories of Elements: Fire, Earth, Air and Water.
The Fire signs are Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius. If you have planets in Fire signs it is one indication that you will be enthusiastic and energetic.
The Earth signs are Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn. If you have planets in Earth signs it is an indication that you will be practical, dependable and resourceful.
The Air signs are Gemini, Libra and Aquarius. If you have planets in Air signs it is an indication that you will be sociable and inquisitive.
The Water signs are Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces. If you have planets in Water signs it is an indication that you will be sensitive, emotional, and intuitive.
By using the element analysis alone, your personality could be described as:
20% Fire- Energetic, idealistic, enthusiastic, self- sufficient, and spontaneous. 12% Earth- Practical, dependable, analytical, reticent, organized, and resouceful. 39% Air- Intellectual, social, congenial, quick-witted, inquisitive, and objective 29% Water- Intuitive, receptive, attentive, emotional sensitive, deep and moody.
------------------------------------------------
So far we have assessed your personal birth chart in terms of the unique distribution of your Planets, Signs and Elements. Within our computer program, we have used many other different assessment techniques to synthesize your results.
The following sections of the report were developed using these unique assessment techniques. Each section focuses on a specific aspect of your career interests. Enjoy!
---------------------------------------- 3. YOUR CAREER NEEDS ----------------------------------------
Every career can be broken down into four basic activities. Working with Ideas, Data, People and Things. This section of the Report looks at what we consider to be your balance of these activities.
* IDEAS, DATA, PEOPLE, THINGS * --------------------------------------------------
If you enjoy solving problems, debating political ideas, creating or inventing something new, or sharing your knowledge, we suspect a career focused on working with IDEAS would be important for you.
If you enjoy tracking your bank balance, reading science books and magazines, or computing information, we suspect a career focused on working with DATA would appeal to you.
If meeting new neighbours, giving a stranger directions, or spending time with your friends is important to you, we would suggest a career focused on meeting the needs of PEOPLE might be important.
If driving your car, fixing things around the home, or working with tools is highly enjoyable, we would suspect a career focused on working with THINGS would be enjoyable.
The numbers on the left below are percentages (out of 100%) representing our perception of your interest in each of these four activites. If one is higher, even by a few percentage points, we would expect it to be your top priority.
Our results indicate that you are interested in working with:
26% Ideas: solving, debating, creating, imparting 28% Data: synthesizing, analyzing, computing, compiling 25% People: negotiating, instructing, serving, helping 20% Things: creating, operating, manufacturing, handling
------------------------------------------------
* TRADITIONAL / UNCONVENTIONAL * -------------------------------------------------------
Another way to clarify your career aptitudes and options is to ask yourself whether you are traditional or unconventional in attitude?
TRADITIONAL people enjoy keeping social and workplace traditions and customs alive. They respect their heritage and seek to maintain the continuity between the past and the future. They are much happier in careers that have a tradition, a heritage and the rules of behavior and company operations clearly established.
UNCONVENTIONAL people are just the opposite. They enjoy working in companies where customs and traditions are not followed. They enjoy exploring new ways of doing things with unusual people. They are usually not in the mainstream of public opinion and are usually ahead of their time.
BOB, our results show that your personality should reflect the following attitude:
0....1....2....3....4....5....6....7....8....9....10 Traditional ............ooooooooooooooo Unconventional .....ooooooooooooooo
------------------------------------------------
* INTUITIVE / LOGICAL * ---------------------------------------
If you are a predominantly LOGICAL person, you believe all of your problems can be solved by using your mind to think things through.
If you are a predominantly INTUITIVE person, you will get "hunches", sudden intuitive knowing about answers to your dilemmas and solutions to your problems.
We all use both intuition and logic to make decisions, but to varying degrees. Our results indicate that your process tends to demonstrate the following strengths:
0....1....2....3....4....5....6....7....8....9....10 Logical ..................oooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Intuitive .................oooooooooooooooooo
------------------------------------------------
* ROUTINE / VARIETY * ---------------------------------------
Career experts are predicting that all of us will be changing jobs three, four, or five times in the next couple of decades, due to technological and other changes in the work place. In 1980, most people believed that a good education was all you needed to prepare yourself for a life-long career. This is no longer true. Today, with our career paths being interrupted from time to time, and the constantly changing nature of the work to be done, we need to be extremely flexible and adaptable.
In this section we will give you a sense of how much we think you will enjoy these changes, plus how much variety or routine we think you need on a daily basis.
VARIETY refers to working responsibilities that are varied and unpredictable. People with high variety scores enjoy quickly changing work scenarios and responsibilities. They prefer flexible work hours and generally readily adapt to shift work.
ROUTINE refers to working responsibilities that are routine and predictable, encompassing regular scheduling of duties, and accountability for particular controllable functions. People with high routine scores enjoy responsibilities and careers that change slowly AND predictibly.
Your need for both kinds of work are:
0....1....2....3....4....5....6....7....8....9....10 Variety .................ooooooooooooooooooooooo Routine .................ooooooo
------------------------------------------------
A printed report such as this one has certain limitations. Some relevant factors (such as your educational qualifications, work experience, and personal constraits), cannot be considered in the factoring of the results.
Because of these limitations, this career report is intended for research or entertainment purposes only. The author, Heron & Hawk Careers, and the publisher assume no liability for any decisions made based upon this career report.
------------------------------------------------ Copyright (c) 1997 Heron & Hawk Careers ------------------------------------------------
* OPTIMUM CAREER ENVIRONMENT * ------------------------------------------------------
An important consideration when choosing a career is to identify the type of work environment most conducive to the development of your particular talents and potential. For example, you may have a strong need to be SELF-EMPLOYED; so you will look for opportunities to express your independence and personal initiative, even if you are working for a large corporation. Being motivated by challenges and stimulation you might find the lack of autonomy and independence in large organizations restrictive.
On the other hand, job SECURITY and a regular pay cheque may be extremely important to you. You may be happiest working in a large, dependable, stable organization, where your responsibilities and rewards are clearly defined. The graph below indicates which considerations are potentially the most significant in your working environment.
Our results indicate that the optimum career environment for you is:
0....1....2....3....4....5....6....7....8....9....10 Self Employed .....oooooooooooooooooooo Security Oriented .oooooooooooooooooooooo
------------------------------------------------
The next three sections define how much your career choice should emphasize the management of people, how much you would prefer working in a supportive, service work capacity, and how task oriented and productive you like to be.
* SUPPORTIVE * --------------------------
People who work best in a SUPPORT capacity prefer to follow someone else's lead. They enjoy responding to the requirements of others; and they often gain immense personal satisfaction through satisfying the needs of their customers, clients, patients, and co-workers. Service work is their forte.
Your results indicate the probable strength of your supportive orientation is:
0....1....2....3....4....5....6....7....8....9....10 Support Services ..ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
------------------------------------------------
* PRODUCTIVE * --------------------------
People who work best in a PRODUCTIVE capacity need to see the results of their daily work. They care about meeting schedules. Their self-esteem can be directly related to what they physically accomplish on a daily basis. Nothing frustrates a productive, task-oriented person as much as other people not keeping to agreed upon production schedules.
Your results indicate the probable strength of your productive orientation is:
0....1....2....3....4....5....6....7....8....9....10 Productive ............ooooooooooo
------------------------------------------------
* MANAGEMENT * ------------------------------
MANAGERIAL people tend to be high achievers. They enthusiastically work with and through people, attending to a multitude of supervisory details in order to reach their goals. If your present employer is considering you for a management role, they may be considering some of the following questions about you.
First, would you enjoy a MANAGEMENT ROLE, rather than a supportive one? Would you rather motivate people to accomplish your own or the companies goals rather than doing the work yourself?
Are you ASSERTIVE, with a flair for expressing entrepreneurial or intrapreneurial skills? (An intrapreneur is an entrepreneur successfully working within a corporate environment.)
In the midst of a hectic work day, do you have a continuing sense of the "LARGER PICTURE"? Do you show good judgement in your decision making, upon assessing a situation?
Would you be a RESPONSIBLE dependable manager, with the ability to utilize your time well and achieve results within specific deadlines? Do you relish extra responsibility?
Are you a LEADER? Can you inspire people to high achievement?
These are only a few of the important personal qualities associated with different theories of management. The most effective managers seem to have most of these traits, in varying strengths. If you have one or more of these traits strongly indicated in the graph below, we would expect that you will feel you have management abilities.
Our results indicate that some of your management strengths are:
0....1....2....3....4....5....6....7....8....9....10 Management Role .oooooo Assertive .............oooooooooooooooo Big Picture ...........oooooooooooooooo Responsible .........ooooooooooooooooo Leadership ...........oooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Mgmt Average ....ooooooooooooooooo (Average of the above 5)
------------------------------------------------
* YOUR PROFILE * -----------------------------
This section answers the question, "How high a profile do you like to maintain on the "job?" You may wish to remain almost anonymous; or be known by a relatively small group of friends and co-workers; or pursue a high profile throughout the entire organization and beyond.
People who prefer a QUIET PROFILE like to remain almost anonymous on the job. They are happy working intently but quietly by themselves, in a self-contained work area. These people dislike being interrupted while concentrating on the task at hand, and usually do not need regular interactions with co-workers in order to enjoy their work.
On the other hand, people who enjoy an ACTIVE PROFILE prefer a working environment which provides frequent opportunities to interact with colleagues and co-workers. They need a non-contained work area, to facilitate their being well known by a small group of friendly co-workers. With good working conditions and support from the employer, these people are active, creative employees.
HIGH PROFILE people enjoy recognition and influence. They prefer a working environment which provides easy access to their superiors, with ample attention paid to their activities. Recognition for a job well done is a "must have" for them. These people need careers which involve adequate public access, possibly encompassing an industry wide, national, or even international perspective.
Our results indicate that your on-the-job needs are:
13% QUIET PROFILE: solitude, lack of interuptions, few people, low profile, self-contained work area. 13% ACTIVE PROFILE: non-contained work area, environment encouraging creativity, loyalty and support from employer, contact with co-workers. 75% HIGH PROFILE: recognition, frequent contact with superiors, status, influence, travel, public access.
------------------------------------------------
* INTERACTION WITH PEOPLE * ----------------------------------------------
Your choice of career undoubtedly will be influenced by the way you usually interact with other people. Regardless of the role you play in relation to others at work, you probably find one form of personal expression - individualist, team player or observer, most natural for you.
If you tend to be an INDIVIDUALIST, you probably are most comfortable working independently. Working alone allows you to complete tasks in your own way. You may influence others indirectly, by demonstrating the standards you expect through your own completed work.
If you are a TEAM PLAYER, you might prefer working with a small group, project team, task force, committee, etc. You probably enjoy the dynamics involved in cooperative group activity. You contribute to the development of cohesive groups by helping to resolve conflicts within your group, and by facilitating group decision making.
If you are inclined to be an OBSERVER, you may wish to place yourself completely outside the organizational infrastructure, perhaps in a career involving investigative research or the study of human behavior. Your comments and criticisms about the interpersonal interactions you observe can be enlightening and instructive to others.
The sort of interactive role which may be most comfortable for you is: INDIVIDUALIST.
------------------------------------------------
* JOB SATISFACTION * -------------------------------------
Your satisfaction with the job and career path you choose depends on many factors. Perhaps the most basic considerations are working conditions, compensation, and benefits. You also will be influenced by the amount and quality of the supervision you receive; opportunities for achievement and advancement; and the availability of training and development programs. Whatever career you choose, be sure to find out what a potential employer offers in these areas.
Another way of finding a suitable career placement for yourself is to consider what stage in the "life cycle" of a business, product or service you would enjoy. Some people enjoy being pioneers, totally involved at the beginning of a new venture such as launching a business or promoting a new idea. Some like gathering the necessary resources to start the enterprise - recruiting personnel, finding materials and equipment, and raising funds. Others prefer the action that comes from developing a product or service from its earliest beginnings into something useful.
Some people like analyzing or evaluating work in progress, with a view to finding faults and making corrections at an early stage. Others prefer being in the position of taking an objective overview of all work to date, developing a new sense of what is possible for the future. Other people will enjoy marketing or selling the finished product, service or technique.
Others prefer to deal with "endings", concluding one phase of development and moving the company forward to the next. Some people are attracted to working with the human consequences of organizational and environmental change, with an eye to future trends and requirements.
For you, job satisfaction can be obtained, in part, when your career includes:
Being a pioneer, totally involved at the beginning of a new venture - working on new ideas, initiating new projects, and launching new businesses, as well as motivating people to participate with you in all/some of the above. You enjoy working at the "leading edge" of your field. If your company's specialty becomes yesterday's news you will probably be tempted to move "where the action is".
* CAREER THEMES * ---------------------------------
Common THEMES tend to be repeated throughout a person's working life, indicating a high interest in certain career areas. You tend to be attracted to careers which embody the following themes:
Careers providing opportunities to broaden your mental and physical horizons. You seek meaningful work which allows you to explore different concepts, ideas, cultures, the planet and space.
Careers enabling you to physically explore far horizons might lead you to transportation, aerospace, international commerce, importing and exporting, or tourism.
Careers encompassing broader concepts and ideas might include religious studies, languages, publishing, philosophy, political science, or education.
* CAREER FIELDS * -------------------------------
In previous sections of this report, you have seen general indications of your probable work-related needs and interests. In this section you will find ideas and suggestions about the career fields and jobs which you might find most interesting and enjoyable.
BOB, each career field has been analyzed astrologically specifically for you, and displayed in the form of a number. Those with the highest number of points tend to be the career fields you are most likely to enjoy. Those with the least points are probably the career categories to which you feel least attracted.
Should you wish to obtain more information about specific occupations within any of these fields, the best place to start is your local library. Large libraries generally have booklets and career material available, describing the careers listed here.
As you study the following alphabetical list of career fields, you may feel drawn to several of the highlighted career fields and/or specific occupations within the field. It is possible (and desirable) to combine more than one potentially satisfying area into one career choice. For example, if SALES and TECHNICIAN both show high rankings, a career as sales representative of an equipment manufacturer might be considered.
Examples of other groupings of high-ranking career fields and occupations might be: School Principal (MANAGEMENT and EDUCATION), or a Construction Company Owner (CONSTRUCTION TRADES, BUSINESS, and a high "SELF-EMPLOYED" score).
To start studying and using this section, first look at the alphabetically listed career fields. If a field score is high, look for the highest scoring occupations within the field. These occupations would be ones to investigate further. If the career field is low, but an occupation within it high, we would expect you to have mixed feelings about it as a top choice.
BOB, our results show that your interests by field are as follows:

BOB,
We hope that what you have read so far has given you some new ideas about possible career directions, as well as leading you to a better understanding of your career needs and career interests.
For most people, choosing a career is a demanding, and time-consuming task. For some people it can also be a frustrating one, if all the information you have gathered about your own interests has not led you to a clear career choice. Because of that possibility, we have included a Supplement with the Report to help you clarify your options. From the letters we've received, we know how much the supplement can help. Please try It!
Good luck and best wishes for much success and happiness in your chosen career.
Sincerely,
Awakenings, Inc.
* HOW TO USE THE SUPPLEMENT * --------------------------------------------------
This supplement gives you the opportunity to review and summarize the information contained in your Report.
Please think of this as a NEEDS QUIZ. In other words, what do you NEED TO HAVE at work to be happy on the job?
People have mentioned dozens and dozens of different needs. They include; to work with people, be self-employed, or have a lot of independence, work for a company with great perks, make good pay, be challenged every day, and knowing the work made a difference in someones life. Work that is really creative. Having a good boss who listens.
It may sound like a wish list, but you will find that when your career meets all or close to all of your needs, you will look forward to going to work every day. So please complete the quiz for yourself. It works. If you cannot think of 10 needs, think of a job you have disliked and could not wait to leave. The opposite aspect of work you dislike, is a newly discovered NEED. Perhaps it was a job where you never learned anything new. You may have discovered you enjoy learning new skills on the job. The NEED: to continually learn on the job.

EXAMPLE ------------------
At the present time, this person is employed as a features writer for a local newspaper. Seeking a new career, this person selected Business and Communications from the report to investigate. After considering these two fields, this person picked Retailing, and Television News as specific occupations to consider. Writer, the present career, was listed also.
After listing the three careers in the heading and writing in the career needs on the left, this person began to assess the degree of fit between each occupation and his/her career needs.
In the process of deciding which careers should be marked YES, to indicate the career meets the need, this person thought: "Television would give me a high profile if I worked on camera; but with a strong need to be self-employed, perhaps station or organization constraints would be frustrating. Retailing would satisfy the need to own my own business. Also retailing would mean being self-employed in a support services role, and working with a team (staff) on the job. Once established, my business would give me a higher profile in my community. SUMMARY page: Possible Careers:
