Scorpio Careers

This is the eighth in a series in which I look at careers for the various zodiac signs.  Maybe you have children or grandchildren born under the sign of Scorpio, and are looking at their potentials, or you are a Scorpio looking at re-training for a change of career.  If you are a Scorpio (in Sun or Ascendant sign) and have found an ideal or fulfilling career, please do share that under comments.

Psychologist/Psychiatrist

This is the number one profession for a Scorpio, which satisfies their intense need to know all about the mysteries of the human psyche.  They are often extremely insightful people, and have a strong drive to help.

Famous Example: Hermann Rorschach, the Swiss psychiatrist and psychoanalyst, who invented the visual Rorschach inkblot test.  Birthdate: 8 November

Brian Weiss: Psychiatrist and hypnotherapist, who writes about past and future lives, in his books, such as Same Soul Many Bodies

Personal note: In our family, we have a Psychiatrist and a Psychologist, both sharing the birthday 14 November, but born in different years.

Doctors, too are frequently found under this sign.  Psychiatrists need to train first as doctors, whereas Psychologists do not.

Famous Example: Dr. Christian Barnard, also born 8 November – The heart surgeon who carried out the first heart transplant in 1967.

Social Workers, too, are able to use their drive and insight to help society, especially if they have Scorpio planets.

Detective

I wrote about detectives in the context of Scorpio Archetypes:

“The Detective Archetype is well suited to Scorpio because of its love of mysteries and crime fiction, and the forensic mind exemplified where someone has Mercury in Scorpio particularly.  Where someone has say several planets in Scorpio in the 12th House you may suspect they have the Detective Archetype, or even its relative the Spy Archetype.  It’s fun to conjecture.”

Crime Fiction Authors and Mystery Writers would also come  under this category.

Other Professions

Insurance broker, and banking, dealing with other people’s money

In Science, Research Chemists and Nuclear Physicists

In the Armed Forces, Sailor

Sex therapists

Policeman/Policewoman – Scorpio’s ruling planet Pluto represents the Police force.  They are recruiting now!

In film-making, the Horror genre!

Undertakers

Mediumship, the interface between this life and the next

Whatever the choices made, be sure that Scorpios contribute hugely to society with their drive, and insight, and sheer perseverance.

Aspects

A mixed bag this week!

This morning Mercury conjoins the South Node.  This brings to your attention information about karma or past lives, especially connected to the Teacher Archetype, or siblings.  There may be a gathering around this time, which entails pooling information.  You may learn something which is beneficial to your evolution or that of a group.  You may be remembering ancestors.

Tomorrow, Monday (7th), Saturn squares Venus in the morning.  Maybe you were wrestling with a conundrum overnight…Maybe you felt let down by someone or you disappointed yourself in some way.  Forgiveness could be a solution, in that case.  Perhaps the way the changes are taking shape are not quite to your liking, but it is not too late to change them.  It may be about the way something looks, or the way something makes you feel, but some warmth of heart can make a difference.  Relationships need work.

Tension may build up to the Full Moon and Eclipse at 16 degrees Taurus in the late morning of Tuesday (8th).  Your emotions may be stirred and you may be motivated to try to resolve in an issue you care passionately about (Taurus and the Sun in opposite sign Scorpio are Fixed signs).  If you are of an artistic bent, you can plough this feeling into your creativity.  You may get a sense of how an issue will pan out over the next six months.  Eclipses may be considered turning points, and the COP27 conference on climate change this week will certainly exercise passions, and attempt a turning point.

In the afternoon, there is a conjunction between the Sun and Mercury at 16 degrees Scorpio, which will concentrate minds on the deeper issues.  Tuesday may be a key date in the conference, with some possible heightened drama added.  But Sun and Mercury together may come up with some insightful solutions, and coming after the eclipse may be accompanied by a little more calmness and relief from the drama of the eclipse.  Hope may be rekindled and the light at the end of the tunnel glimpsed.  If it is your birthday on 8th, it may prove extra memorable.

The early hours of Wednesday (9th) brings an opposition between Uranus and Mercury, and may keep your mind active prior to falling asleep.  You may be trying to figure out the answer to a puzzle, or be downloading information from your superconscious mind.  In trying to implement ideas during the day, you may encounter technical hitches and glitches, though.

This effect is compounded at around breakfast time by Uranus also opposing the Sun.  Issues which seemed crystal clear yesterday afternoon may be tested for their worth, or a flurry of communication may be needed to institute them.  A change of orientation may be required in some way.  Earlier insights, either from the day itself or earlier in the week, may lead you to understand what changes are required.  Expect the unexpected.  Be open and flexible, and use your intuition to the max.

Mercury squares Saturn on Thursday (10th) around breakfast time.  Your rethinks may turn into mental weariness.  So much so that you may have to put your thought processes on the back burner for a while, trying meditation or gentle exercise instead.  This may give your mind a rest and a refresh or a reset.  If  you are worried, send healing to the situation to your best level.  The stuckness may suggest a new strand to your philosophy of life, incorporating the quality of resilience.  “What is being required here?” is a useful question. More haste less speed may also be a useful mantra to follow. Travel and communications could be slow, and mirror this process.  There may be intensive talks in the beleaguered rail disputes.

There may be better news and a better news come lunchtime, when Venus trines Neptune.  This is  usually a serene planetary dance, but may be hampered a little by the Mercury/Saturn influence.  Dance is one of the art forms enhanced by this trine, and we are now half way through the pleasure season of Strictly Come Dancing, and possibly practising in the kitchen.!  Whatever your art form, it can be enhanced, and if you are an observer there is the great enjoyment in being an audience.  In relationship, there is a potential for spiritual bonding.

We are back to the squares on Friday (11th), with Saturn this time squaring the Sun.  This could ground some of the inspiration and bring it into reality.  Practical initiatives are supported by this aspect.  It is a good aspect for setting up solid foundations, for instance.  However, it could also produce delay in a project.

Finally, we end on an encouraging note, with Mercury trine Neptune on Saturday (12th).  .  This aspect brings the possibility of mysteries being solved, e.g. around health conditions.  In personal applications, things may fall into place spiritually, and you may be ready to talk about a sensitive subject.  This trine brings mental inspiration, transcendent wisdom, higher harmony, spiritual journeys, and insight.  A small kindness can bring about significant mental healing.
