Joy Archer Takes Aim at Astrology
Jobs and Career 

A beautiful client in east Texas requested I write of how you would determine 
what job or career would be suitable for a person using the natal chart. My 
sincere sympathy to the people of Texas who are enduring a terrible drought. 
May the rains come very soon!

It was stated in a book once that only about 3% to 5% of the world population 
do work they love. They actually live to work! The rest do work in order to live. 
I never heard a young person say that they longed to become a insurance salesman 
when they were in kindergarten or first grade. Most insurance salesmen are people 
who played football and were hit a few times too many without their helmets on. 
Now I’ll lose the business of all the insurance salesmen in the world!!

Naturally it is necessary to have a natal chart of the person with the correct 
time of birth. The Sixth House and the planets therein plus the ruler of the 
Sign on the cusp of the Sixth House will give indications to you where the 
native is competent and has interests in matters of job and health. If there are 
no planets in the Sixth House, then look to the house placement of the Ruler of 
the Sign on the cusp and the aspects to that planet. The natural house of the 
sign on the cusp of the Sixth House is also a clue to the area that the person 
will find satisfying employment. For example, if Sagittarius is on the cusp of 
the Sixth House, the person may enjoy working in the legal field, at a college 
or university, or as a minister of a church;- all Sagittarius or natural ninth 
house matters.

If Jupiter is found in your Sixth House it is important to check the condition 
of the aspects to Jupiter from other planets in the chart. If Jupiter is harshly 
aspected, the native may become a "workaholic" but not receive the recognition 
for their heroic efforts. If Jupiter is well aspected, then they may work long 
house and have to travel a bit with their job but their efforts will be well 
rewarded. They will taste much success.

A person with the Sun in their 6th house will often justifiably take pride in 
its work and is a good worker but will need applause (preferably in the 
paycheck!) They often enjoy a job that helps instruct the public in way to live 
a healthier life or are actually in the medical fields serving the ill and sick.

Many people are good are many thing but the Sixth House is where you will find 
meaningful work. If they don’t develop their own special skills and competence 
they will often end up working at meaningless jobs. I can indicate the areas of 
likely success but the native must exert the effort to be trained and learn the 
skills necessary. The sixth house is also the house of health so if you find 
compatible work, you are most likely to enjoy good health.

The other house in the chart that will have a major bearing on job and career is 
the Tenth House. It is the house of your reputation on the job and in your 
community. It is more indicative of a person who has a profession as opposed to 
just a job. If your Sun is in the Tenth House you are more likely to be a "Chief" 
as opposed to just a follower. If the Sun is well aspected there will be a strong 
sense of self and a will to succeed coupled with ambition for power. If they use 
that power wisely will depend on the other planets tenanting the Tenth House and 
the aspects they receive. Trines and sextiles will indicate success with little 
effort but squares and oppositions are often need to fuel the drive to keep 
climbing the mountain to fame and fortune.

A well aspected Moon in the Tenth House indicates someone who will be well 
received by the public and can often sell almost anything to women. A Tenth 
House with many planets may indicate one who will sacrifice one’s home life or 
social life for the attainment of success.  

The cusp of the 10th House is the MC (medium coeli or Midheaven). {Oh, we love 
our jargon just like the legal profession!} This is a point in space and it is 
second in importance in a chart to the Ascendant, the point on the eastern 
horizon at birth. These two points move approximately one degree every four 
minutes. That is why the exact time of birth is so important. When a planet 
transits over them, especially Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto, there 
will often be major changes in the public life and career of that native. The 
same is true if these planets are transiting your Sixth House.

There is a matter I regret I must discuss. Due to non-payment for charts and 
reports sent I will have to wait until the payment is deposited in PayPal on my 
site before the charts and reports can be sent. If you enter a store to buy 
something, you must pay before you walk out with the item. My Astrological 
software from Matrix is the very best professional software in the world but it 
is sure not cheap. My hardware is not shoddy either and I didn’t shoplift it! 
Too heavy!! My toner is $90. a pop! Right now I am able to send your charts via 
e-mail. I send two charts for only one $5.00 charge. One chart is quite colorful 
and beautiful and many clients use it as a wallpaper for their computers. The 
other chart has the aspects listed and modalities on the page. But at the present 
I will need a "snail mail" address to mail the reports. In the future I hope to 
be able to send these reports electronically. If you order the "Friends and 
Lovers" report it is necessary to do the charts for the 2 people involved for a 
charge of $5.00 for each person.

I have known many Professional Astrologers over the years, and most were willing 
to give of their talents for free when a client was facing a crisis. Most people 
don’t bother to seek out any counsellor, including an Astrological counsellor, 
unless there is a problem in their lives. Sometimes that problem is financial 
and I have never turned anyone away for lack of ability to pay. But those who 
can pay and chose not to pay are actually hurting themselves more than me. You 
can actually lie or cheat another person who won’t even know it but you will 
know you lied or cheated and you will diminish yourself in doing so. I love my 
work. I studied to become a teacher and didn’t set out to be an Astrologer. I 
was chosen!  Have been able to eat daily and have a roof over my head (most of 
the time). I would appreciate it if my clients who are able to pay, would pay 
for my services. If you are unable, just e-mail me and we will discuss other 
options, like your first born child!
