"Will I keep my job?"

The company the querent worked for had brought in an external recruitment firm to evaluate the staff and determine whether the workforce needed to be expanded or reduced. Naturally, the querent was anxious, wondering whether he’d keep his job or not.

​

In the chart, the querent is signified by Venus at 4° Libra and the Moon at 5° Capricorn. His job is signified by Saturn at 18° Aquarius.

Venus in Libra paints a clear picture: he genuinely loves his work. The Moon’s placement, however, reveals his emotional state - preoccupied with the possibility of losing his job.

​

At first glance, Venus appears to be combust by the Sun, which is considered the worst thing that happen to a planet. But here’s the crucial detail: a planet cannot be harmed by combustion when it is in its own sign. Venus is dignified, strong, and in no danger. It also isn’t about to change signs, reinforcing the stability of his situation. The querent will keep his job. There is nothing to fear.

​​

And so it proved: time proved the chart correct - he not only kept his position but continues to hold it many years later.
