Volume 3: Worried about what others think, unable to be yourself. An astrological reading on the 'roles' that night-born Capricorns take on too heavily at work | Komagata Fortune-Telling Notebook
This is the 'Komagata Eatery'.
An Edo-period hangout run by the firefighter Cho-ji and his wife, Osome.
At dinner time, the shop is filled with the bustle of the main street and the scent of simmered dishes.
The boundary between day and night is the moment when people's true feelings suddenly emerge.
Cho-ji:
'Hey Osome, this customer is awfully quiet today.
They're more worried about what's going on around them than their meal.'
Osome:
'They're someone who has developed the habit of reading the room before speaking up.
Come now, you don't have to force yourself to talk.'
Cho-ji:
'The stars won't run away if you stay silent. Fill your belly first.'
[Today's Concern]
'I'm not good at expressing my own opinions at work.
I find myself only worrying about the evaluations and eyes of those around me,
and I've gradually lost sight of what I'm actually suited for.
It's not so much that I want to know my ideal job, but I'm anxious about whether it's okay to be myself.'
(Born January *, 199*, 21:37 - Townsman)
[Cho-ji's Pep Talk!]
'You shouldn't be yourself?
That's wrong. You're just taking on too many 'roles' that you don't need to.
You're a Capricorn, and born in the deep hours of the night at that.
The flow of the situation, your position, your responsibilities—
those are things your stars make you notice, whether you like it or not.
That's why at work,
'If I say it this way, it won't cause friction,'
'I should stay silent here,'
you just keep making those kinds of judgments.
But look, if you're busy reading the room at the scene of a fire,
the fire will spread in an instant.
Work is the same.
If you focus too much on the role, the core of who you are will get scorched.'
[Osome's Star Tag]
'This person was born with the
'power to support the situation without standing out.'
Night-born Capricorns
have a very sharp ability to read people's evaluations and the atmosphere.
But that isn't a star sign for 'erasing yourself.'
The current planetary alignment
is entering a period where you need to re-examine
'whose expectations you are living for.'
Before looking for a suitable job,
first
'let go of the roles you don't need to take on.'
You don't have to answer to everything.
Just by reducing one thing, your true feelings will start to show.'
— Osome's Astrological Guidance (Astrological Explanation) —
The person seeking advice this time has their Sun in Capricorn,
and because they were born at night, their configuration is strongly focused on relationships with groups and organizations.
Currently,
it is a period where the gap between social roles and true feelings is likely to surface.
Separating the 'evaluated self' from the 'true self'
is the key to improving your fortune.
A suitable job is not about forcing yourself to add new talents,
but rather what remains after you set down the roles you have been carrying too heavily.
[We are accepting questions!]
At 'Meshidokoro Komagata',
we are always accepting questions you would like to ask Choji and Osome.
If you include your date and time of birth,
Osome will read the stars, and Choji will give you a pep talk.
Worries about work, suitable jobs, or finding your place—
even if it is just an unspoken spark of concern, that is fine.
Look forward to our next Q&A session.
