Starting My Research Journey
Alright so I dove deep into astrology charts today – specifically about Virgo placements in the 10th house of career. Wanted real talk about jobs that actually fit, not just fluffy advice. Pulled out my own birth chart first because hey, I’m a Virgo rising with the 10th house stacked. Time to test theories on myself.
The Pitfalls I Totally Stumbled Into
First thing? I ignored the red flags. Like that fast-paced sales gig last year. Thought I could “adapt.” Big mistake. The chaos was insane – zero structure, flying by the seat of your pants every day. My Virgo brain short-circuited trying to organize other people’s messes. Quit after three months feeling fried.
- Mistake 1: Took a “creative director” role. Sounded fancy. Reality? Endless vague meetings, zero concrete plans. My need for clear steps? Trampled daily.
- Mistake 2: Tried freelance event planning. Loved the idea of building systems. Hated the reality: clients changing details last minute. Perfectionism met chaos. Not pretty.
- Mistake 3: Joined a “dynamic startup.” Translation: No processes, everyone winging it. Spent nights drafting org charts nobody used. Exhausting.
What Actually WORKED For Me
Trial-and-error led me here. Started volunteering at a community health clinic doing records management. Boom. The system clicked. My job?
- Categorizing patient files with hyper-specific tags.
- Streamlining appointment scheduling processes.
- Finding tiny errors in forms nobody else spotted.
Felt weirdly satisfying. That Virgo precision? Suddenly an asset, not a burden. Later moved into medical coding – all codes, details, and structure. It’s meticulous but meaningful. Also tried technical writing for software manuals. Loved breaking down complex steps into clear, bite-sized instructions. No glamour, pure utility. Exactly the vibe.
My Big Takeaways
Lesson learned the hard way: Avoid chaotic “wear many hats” roles. You’ll burn out fixing others’ oversights. Instead:
- Seek clarity: Clear processes > vague “creative freedom.”
- Leverage precision: Jobs needing accuracy = your sweet spot.
- Reject hustlegang: Virgo 10th house needs sustainable systems, not grind culture.
Stopped chasing prestige and started chasing purpose through order. Best career shift ever.
