A querent asked me whether it would be a good idea to change career and become a baker. I cast the chart. The Ascendant is Capricorn, which makes Saturn the significator of the querent. I also give him the Moon as a co-significator. The cusp of the 10th house is Libra, so the work itself is signified by Venus.
Saturn and Venus are in the 3rd house in Aries, in an afflicted condition. Saturn is in detriment in Aries, a sign far too choleric and abrasive for the slow nature of Saturn, corrupting its essence. Saturn is also moving at a rather high speed, which further worsens its accidental condition, since Saturn prefers a slow and steady motion. Venus is in the same house and sign, in detriment, in an even worse state, since detriment is considered a weaker condition than fall.
Aries is far too hot and dry for the cold and moist nature of Venus. The conditions of the work are unfavourable, maybe excessively hot, which fits well with a bakery environment with burning ovens. If we consider that the radical 3rd house is the 6th derived from the 10th, this shows that the significators of the querent and of the work are in a house tied with servile labour, physical wear and tear.
There is also a separating conjunction between them, with Venus already moving away from Saturn. The work moves away from the querent, which may indicate that he considered the possibility recently but, at the moment of the question, the idea is no longer as strong. It should be remembered that this is not a question about a concrete job offer, but about the possibility of a career change.
The querent also asked about the financial aspect of the work. So we look at the 11th house, which is the 2nd derived from the 10th. The cusp falls in Scorpio, so Mars is the significator. Mars is in Pisces, where it has triplicity of Water, giving it a certain level of dignity, and it is in the radical 2nd house, which is associated with finances. The money is reasonably good. Mars also receives Venus by exaltation, which shows that there is indeed a connection between the financial factor and the work itselfl. The financial reward could partially compensate for the difficulty of the labour.
But Saturn is afflicted by fall in Aries. The querent will not feel in his element as a baker. The work does not seem suited to his Saturnian, melancholic nature. The Moon at 18° Aquarius also makes no applying aspects, being practically void of course, and it forms no connection with Venus either.
The verdict is no.
