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.
