To many people, work is something that
interferes with pleasure. Our ancestors linked their instincts for survival
with their ability to work. The men hunted for food, and the women converted it
into meals. They also hunted to provide skins to keep their bodies warm and
later worked to build shelters to shield them from the vagaries of the weather.
The means of survival have changed with every age and, despite our more sophisticated
life, work I still connected to our basic instincts for survival. The methods,
means, and rewards have changed, but the motivation has not. Today we have many
things designed to reduce work and allow more time for leisure, but we never
really catch up with enjoying the leisure to the full because the old nightmare
of survival intervenes. Build a better house, design better standards for
living, have all the labour saving devices you want in the kitchen and all you
have substituted for the hunter’s arrows as his means of survival is money.
That is just about the yardstick today of our survival: hunt it, catch it, and
hope to hold on to it for a while represents work, more work, but the end
product is survival in a world where all but this instinct has undergone
changing values.
If we can have free choice in doing the
work we would like to do and when we would like to do it, then we still have
time for pleasure and leisure. Work tires us, mainly because we do not like it,
and even the thought of an uncongenial chore can produce fatigue. On the other
hand, if we are really suited for the work we do, we rarely feel fatigue and
can work for long hours, even getting a feeling of pleasure from it. I work
long hours at the typewriter mainly because I love all fills me with aversion,
and following the aversions comes a sense of tiredness. I have the skills to be
a secretary but not the motivation to through money, I expect I could brush up
my shorthand, practice greater speeds at typing, and even cope with the intricacies
of a filing system in an office. I would do this only to have sufficient money
to live on, and that is the position so many people find themselves in. Yet
there are secretaries who really enjoy their work and do not see it only as a
means of earning a living they enjoy the confidence an employer may have in
them and the chance to get away from the house.
The sum stimulates the body and Mars
supplies the energy to work, but the moon stimulates the mind. Getting the sun,
Mars, and the moon in tune when it comes to work makes any chores much easier
to cope with. If a person is working in a job he wholeheartedly dislikes but
cannot change the work because of monetary circumstances, then the only thing
to do is to change his consciousness and attitude to it. Once the dislike is
overcome, it is a curious fact that the work becomes easier although it may not
be totally enjoyable. Understanding the position of the moon in your chart
often helps you to ease the strain of work and give enough time to have pleasure
because the moon softens attitudes toward work. It also indicates through its
position in sign and house, the type of work which you are likely to find most
naturally congenial. The luminaries of the sun and moon together with each
planet have specific ruler-ships over various types of work. Because you are
born under a water sign or have the moon in one, it does not mean that you are
cut out to be a sailor; but it will certainly affect your interest in any work
which gives a degree of freedom.
In studying the effect of the moon on
work or vocations, we find the keynote word is change. The main vocations ruled
by the moon are occupations which involve traveling, sailors, nurses,
fishermen; dealers in liquids-laundry proprietors and workers; cabbage and
cauliflower growers; chicken raisers; cheese manufacturers; health attendants;
interior decorators with a special interest in bathrooms; bakers; brewery
workers and owners; boat owners; dairy farmers; dairy workers; household help;
chinaware salespersons; also glassware salespersons; melon growers, midwives,
obstetricians, gynecologists- any work connected with plastics, mould makers,
restaurant proprietors and workers, innkeepers, waiters and waitresses, night
watchmen, antique dealers, collectors, heraldic designers, perfume makers and
workers, real estate (the sale of homes rather than commercial buildings),
hypnotists, clairvoyants, writers of romantic novels, impressionist painters,
silversmiths, makers and workers of home appliances.
