Started My Research Journey

Heard folks with Sun in Leo and Pisces Rising gotta balance that spotlight-loving Leo energy with watery Pisces vibes at work. Grabbed my laptop and my own birth chart (yeah, I track this stuff), started scribbling notes in my dog-eared notebook. Leo wants center stage, creativity, big wins. Pisces rising? Needs meaning, helping people, maybe even some art vibes. Corporate drone life? Felt like crap just thinking about it.

Testing Real Jobs on Myself

Tried boring admin stuff first. Like, literally helped my cousin file paperwork for her side hustle. Two hours in, my head felt foggy and my skin crawled – total Pisces rising revolt. Leo side felt totally insulted pushing papers. Nope. Switched gears, volunteered helping kids with drama club at the community center. Leo energy lit up leading warm-ups, Pisces rising loved seeing shy kids gain confidence. But man, the chaos drained me. Needed something steadier that paid bills.

The Career Lab Phase

Okay, hit the drawing board. Needed jobs hitting three things:

• Regular spotlight moments (feed the Leo Sun).
• Deep human connection or creativity (soothe the Pisces Rising).
• Not drowning in emotional chaos daily (learned that lesson!).

Test Run 1: Local bakery counter. Leo got mini-applause decorating cakes nicely, Pisces enjoyed chatting with regulars. But smelling frosting eight hours? Pisces sensitivity overload, left sneezing. Cut that short.
Test Run 2: Helped a friend organize a small art show. Perfect match! Leo thrived hustling promotion, schmoozing artists. Pisces rising was buzzing curating pieces that told stories. Felt alive, not drained. But… unpaid. Gotta make it work for rent.

Locking In the Winners

Based on sweating, trying, failing, and one glorious art show victory, these jobs keep popping up as fits:

• Creative Director: Leo leads the vision, Pisces infuses meaning into projects.
• Arts Therapist: Uses creativity (Leo) for deep healing (Pisces). Spotlight on facilitating growth, not yourself.
• Specialized Teacher: Think drama, music, art. Leo performs while teaching, Pisces connects emotionally with students.
• Client Relations in Creative Fields: Rep artists or designers. Leo negotiates deals (“look at my awesome client!”), Pisces intuitively understands their needs.

Biggest lesson? Never suppress one part. Ignore Leo’s need for recognition? Feel hollow. Push aside Pisces’ intuition? End up anxious mess. Gotta weave them together, messy threads and all. Job hunt feels less scary knowing my signs finally point the same way. Just gotta find who pays me to shine and care.
