Before The Bus

Profession and social standing

Valid during several weeks: This is a time when you should turn your attention to the most outward aspects of your life - your career, your role in the larger society and your standing and reputation within the community. You should also take this time to examine your life as a whole and see if you are going in the direction you want and making adequate progress in your life. This transit is future oriented rather than past oriented. You may have to deal with elements of your past, but only to make corrections so that you can plan more intelligently for the future. The only real danger of this transit is that if you have done something wrong or in a slipshod fashion it may be exposed now and trip you up in unpleasant ways. It would be a very good idea to look over your life and correct any situations that might give you problems in this way.

It's cool because I was just starting to feel that anxious concern for my future again, then I checked my horoscope and here this was. I just got home from spending some time in manhattan/staten island with family friends and it feels a bit surreal to be  home again. Good news is is that I made some good clothing item purchases and a new phone that will hopefully help me feel like I can get my life is back on track (or just feel comfortable with it anyway).

The part towards the end does tend to bother because that sort of thing has happened to me before. I'm sure things have come back to bite other people but that part of the passage feels eerily familiar and very plausible right now. Suppose the only assurance I have is if I can look back now and think of anything that might trip me up soon.

Am I making adequate progress in my life? I'm not quite sure of that yet. Sometimes I think about what I have done or been doing or have been concerned with (super concerned about future), I feel like I am. However sometimes I get the sense I'm not because in reality I don't think I've accomplished much (though that could just be my impatience). Right now, reapplying to schools is a major concern. Although, considering my CUNY applications are squared away and Spring 2012 SUNY semester apps won't be available for a bit, that really shouldn't weigh on my mind much too much. Next thing is finding an adequate job. I'm very interested in maybe working for the Citizens Campaign for the Environment in Farmingdale but it might just be too far and the hours just might be too weird for it to be the best viable option for me.

Hopefully, when, or if, I get to go back there with a friend tomorrow that I'll have more perspective about the idea. Finally getting a paying job may give my life more shape before I start going to school again.
