An Aries Wanting Fame as a Fitness Model

Dear Yael,

I was born on April 10, 1982 at 11:58AM in Gainesville, FL. I currently work in the insurance industry as a worker's compensation adjuster, and I am also working on my MBA in International Business. I have been in this field for 3 years and have desperately been searching for my true passion. I find myself getting restless and stressed each day I continue to work in this position, since I know it is not my passion.

I feel like I'm wasting my time each day. I'm not doing what I love. I really want to work in the health and fitness industry and am currently pursuing fitness modeling. I began competing in competitive bikini competitions in hopes of gaining exposure and have recently won a national show and earned pro status.

Although, I'm now considered a professional, I still haven't obtained the exposure I would like. I love competing but I eventually want to venture off into something else more entrepreneurial.  What does my chart indicate about my career options?  Based on my chart, am I well-suited in the fitness model arena? What are your recommendations for my career path? School? Am I pursuing the right major?

Thank you,

Bewildered Aries

Dear Bewildered Aries,

Although I am not in the business of telling my readers what to do, in this case, the solution to your question seems clear.  I suggest finishing your MBA, although it may seem tedious, and then later on, venturing off into your own specific and independent path. 

Regarding your work, understand that Astrologically speaking you specifically are highly influenced by your impulses and emotions, being that you have an Aries sun (restless, adventurous, impulsive, and independent), Cancer ascendant (intuitive, moody, emotional, and psychic), and a Scorpio moon (strong-willed, emotional, passionate, and instinctual). 

Thus, by simply looking at these three planets alone, we can gauge that you are a very driven, an out-of the box thinker, and an emotionally charged individual.  For now, be mindful of the fact that you must learn to harness your desires and urges.  I am not saying to put your dreams aside.  In fact, create a vision for yourself of what you want for your life. Write it down or draw it out so you can actually wake up every morning with it ingrained in your brain.  This will drive you to enjoy your job more, and provide you with more than enough energy to shoot for the stars.

Having a Jupiter in Scorpio indicates that you are very driven, business-minded, and uncompromising in your beliefs and viewpoints.  You are passionate, emotionally intense, shrewd with money, and make a good scientific researcher. 

Your 6th House cusp in Sagittarius indicates that in matters of your career, you need to be challenged and to believe in what you are doing.  You are optimistic and you look to your work as a source of inspiration, rather than a hurdle. You do not follow traditional routines, and are thus, better working independent of structure.  You are also drawn to careers which allow you to be of service to your community.  Since you have a tendency of overworking, you need to remain physically active to keep this balance.  Spending more time outdoors and in nature would benefit you greatly. 

Your 9th House cusp in Pisces indicates that you have a difficult time coping with the practicalities of study and education, even though you are a very curious individual by nature.  This house actually implies that studying religion or mystical subjects may actually help you in the long run.  Religion plays a dominant role with those who have their 9th House in Pisces.

You are determined to make a name for yourself and are willing to go against the grain to do so.  You prefer to be self-employed, since you have a strong moral and ethical code which you find many people go against.  You were born with an assertive, driven, energetic, and courageous temperament.  This will allow you to compete with others successfully and charge out ahead of the pack.  

I suggest a career which gives you independence and allows you to truly express your inner nature.  But for now, try to maintain a healthy balance between your practical needs and your dreams, which I am certain are viable enough for you to turn into a reality. 

I want to stress, Bewildered Aries, that even though it may not seem that you are not where you need to be, you should realize that you move faster than light sometimes.  Allow the life you have created for yourself to catch up to your dreams.  You have been laying a careful roadmap your entire life. Do not lose sight of your vision. I truly believe that you will have your own business and will succeed as a fitness model.  Seek out activities that will bring you more balance and stop stressing the little things.  All comes with a little faith and time.

Yael
