Hi Elsa,
Faced with yet another small failure in my life, I sat back in my desk chair a few minutes ago and silently wondered whether the universe was conspiring against me. The last year has been tough with regards to my plans for after graduation in May. Jobs I've applied for have turned up nothing and with every rejection, my heart sinks a little lower and I feel worse about myself.
I haven't been as diligent about my job search as I could be. But I'm also not used to being as aggressive as I guess you need to be to get a job. Am I going to feel this low for a while yet? And is there a reason why I feel so uncertain about what I want professionally?
Thanks,
Almost A New Grad
Dear Almost,
Saturn (lessons, impediment) is transiting your Mars (effort), and you are going to have to try harder. Read your post up there. You state in plain language that you are not trying hard enough and your results reflect this, yes?
I’m not trying to make you feel bad about yourself. I just want you to get the most out of this transit, which is all about putting your shoulder to the wheel and keeping it there. You simply have to persevere. When you do, results will follow and you will have learned something of enormous import and value. Basically, that winners never quit.
Good luck.
