This
is an interpretation on how a particular man may experience
the demands of his home and his career.
What
is done on a day to day basis by this man is especially
important to his self-expression and all areas of life.
He probably prefers to work quietly on the sidelines and
has very high standards with the work he does perform.
He
is likely to have intense, strong feelings which are very
complicated and difficult to talk about. Therefore, this
man may have difficulty at work due to his perfectionism
and introverted nature, as others may find it difficult
to get to know and understand him.
Planetary
indications show that there will be significant conflict
between the need to spend time at home in an emotionally
balanced environment; and the duties and responsibilities
associated with his career.
Indications
also show that this man needs harmony within his home and
his environment. Generally peace-loving, he prefers to give
in rather than have confrontations; so this in turn may
affect the way in which he deals with any conflict between
the demands of his home and career.
This
persons’ emotional well-being depends on others’ reactions
because he needs approval from the people around him. It
is especially important for him to have a peaceful home
life because he is extremely dependent on his family for
feelings of security. This particular planetary placement
can also indicate that this man tends to run away from work
to his home when career matters are particularly stressful
because this is where he feels safe and can feel balanced
or recharge himself emotionally. I feel that if he is to
move forward in his career, he will need to pay particular
attention to make sure his home life is emotionally secure
and satisfying as possible.
In
combination with other indications in the natal chart, I
think that this man will find it quite difficult to find
a balance between the demands within these areas of his
life and will possibly only achieve this later on in life
as he becomes more aware of his needs and understands himself
as a person.
This
indication could also mean that this person may feel unloved
and remote from the people who are important to him emotionally
within his home, and from people he deals with at work.
At
work I think he will tend to be very controlled and practical
and misses out on fun to fulfill duties and obligations
because he may feel unworthy of having fun or feels that
career duties and obligations take him away from where he
needs to be, at home. Indications show that he has a highly
self critical nature which, naturally, may manifest in all
areas of his life.
I feel
that some of the difficulties that this man will face will
involve a conflict in values and possibly issues involving
the financial side of his career, perhaps preparing a financial
budgeting service for the company he works for.
On
a brighter note though, this man has the potential to build
an emotionally safe, harmonious and structured home. As
he becomes more mature, he may learn to balance this opposition
by combining his career and home life by performing some
of his duties at home and so achieving part of his need
for spending time at home in an emotionally safe and balanced
environment.
I think
that this man works very hard in his chosen field, and puts
in a lot of hard work and realises the need for careful
planning to achieve his goals within his career. It is important
for this person that others respect and look up to him also.
On
the other hand though, the energies represented could also
be experienced in a different way depending on this person’s
life situation. This man could have difficulties in achieving
his career aims and may find that he comes across general
obstacles to his goals or ambitions; or that he just gets
left out or taken for granted.
With
other planetary indications, we may also see that this man
will experience work as a burden that severely restricts
his freedom in being able to be where he needs to be, at
home. He may feel ‘forced’ to fulfill his duties and obligations
so that he can support his family and financially provide
a pleasant home to live in.
Because
of these energies and other indications in his natal chart,
I think that this man will learn to balance the demands
of his home and career through conflict and gaining awareness
of himself and his needs through this conflict.
In
summary this man needs time to recharge and balance himself
emotionally within his home so that he can perform his duties
and obligations within his career, which will be extremely
important to the development of his identity. This man may
find that he does not learn to balance these two aspects
of life until he is a bit older. This is because it may
take some time to learn about himself and his needs, and
to learn how to achieve some form of equilibrium or balance
with the energies involved.
He
may be able to utilise these energies positively through
bringing some of his work home because this utilises the
planetary symbolism and brings them back into the person’s
home. This presents the opportunity for him to ‘recharge’
himself emotionally to be able to go out into the world
to fulfill his duties and obligations.
