Elsa,
I was promoted to a supervisory position over a year ago. At the time, I was brand new to the job and, made some mistakes with a few of the people I supervise. Those mistakes are now coming back to haunt me, as they were recently brought to the attention of a new boss in our office.
I'm told the mistakes were a "communication" problem on my part. And without the benefit of knowing what the specific communication problems were (or the chance to correct the problem myself), I've been told I will have to step down into an entry level job that I have no interest in. The climate in the office has been growing increasingly tense and stressful each day.
Should I stay and take the demotion or resign and begin anew somewhere else?
Stellium in Scorpio
Dear Scorpio,
You’re going to have to quit, don’t you think? For one thing, you don’t want the job they’re offering. And I hate to encourage anyone to feel like a victim, but it does seem the new boss wants you OUT. And he's not communicating very well himself, unless you favor passive-aggressive bullshit, which I do not.
He won’t be specific about what you’ve done wrong, or give you an opportunity to make amends. He also won’t fire you. Instead he humiliates you... and you get the idea.
Now I’d be pissed if I were you, but if you feed this, it won’t serve you. I’d suggest you rise above it. Take this as a sign from the universe, that there is a better position for you out there.
Astrology supports this viewpoint. With Saturn conjunct your Sun, I know you’re conservative and somewhat frightened. But Jupiter has just entered Scorpio and you’ve got half your chart in the sign. Jupiter brings opportunity and a good amount of luck if well aspected in the natal chart, as yours is. Bottom line, it’s a very good time to take a gamble... and a very bad time to stay locked in a painful cage.
