Career

[Aquarius]

Is it normal to not want to associate yourself to a career? like not wanting to make that your identity.
My thought process goes like this : "I want to be Aquarius not <casual title for someone who works in a specific field>
Identifying myself with a title like that makes me feel anxious and not myself.
What is your opinion with that?

Become a househusband.

I feel similarly. I don't want to identify myself with labels because to me if you allow yourself to be labeled then people will see you on the basis of the label and the associations of the label instead of seeing you for who you actually are. Like the sermon on the "resume people".

Careerwise, there aren't many "titles" that I would like to associate myself with, but there are a few. With some of the things that I've found that I want to do, even though I would find them fulfilling and they would be excellent channels for the expression of important planets and placements in my chart, I wouldn't define myself with a title or label based on it(unless I had to). It would just be a thing that I happen to love doing.

The exceptions that I would like to associate myself with are related to my ascendant and 10th & Sun placements, maybe moon also. The careers I have in mind here would be expressive of my rising signs, in one sense that I'd be different from others and in the other sense that it would be a dignified and grounded role to play(plus other reasons). The planets, I don't want to get into the details of, but their placements also factor in. But I think the ascendants are the main driving motive here for me. They are things that I would not only like to do in and of themselves, but also like myself for doing, and that's why I would like to associate myself, my identity, with them and not others.

It also depends culturally. From what I know, some countries start and train their kids young to do one specific thing for the rest of their lives. Other countries, like the U.S. on average switch careers several times. A lot of people get jobs unrelated to the college degree they obtain, especially in the U.S.

It's really up to you and how flexible you want to be. I don't want to be confined to do one thing for the rest of my life, I want to do several things.

If you want to do this one thing, great. If you want to do this other, then great too.

The higher you go in the physical world, the more physical security you have and you are more economically healthy.
Dont ignore the things that if you had could make your life in the world easier.

I came to the satisfying conclusion that whatever i would do as a job it would be for money, and it makes me feel very at ease with myself.
