Open Question: Loyalty And Transparency In The Workplace And Professional Relationship: How Far Should It Go?

Ask the collective

loyalty Dear Elsa,

I’m all for honesty and transparency — maybe a bit too much. Another company wants me to interview for a job later this month.

My present employer has been very accommodating about some recent health problems. Above and beyond.

Loyalty is a big deal to me so I feel obligated to tell my present employer that I am thinking of leaving & that I am looking around.

Open Question: Devastated By Loss Of A Job She Loved - Should She Keep The Company T-Shirt?

Elsa,

I’ve started two non-profits now. The last one I was the first executive director of the non-profit. I loved my job. The problem was that the board did not mean me well and fired me. I have been struggling for almost 8 months to find a new line of work and a new direction. It is painful to lose a job that you loved and that you believed in the dream that you were working towards. I was cleaning out my closet today and came across two t-shirts. They were the non-profit’s first t-shirts with our logo. A logo I helped design.

I am too ashamed of what happened to wear the t-shirts and am wondering if I should give them away. They’re beautiful hemp fabric but have the logo on them. Am I keeping the energy of something that did me harm? Should I hold onto them because I’ll regret not keeping a token of my work in 20 years? Will getting rid of them now help me heal or will I regret it later?

I do need to heal and get on with a new line of work where I am appreciated. It’s overdue at this point.

Thoughts?

Unsure About Career In Social Work: Scorpio Sun, Capricorn Rising

Hi, Elsa

I recently graduated from university and I have applied to grad schools in social work. The idea is for me to become a therapist in the future. My problem is that I just don’t feel strongly about this. I would love to feel extremely excited and passionate about the idea of social work, and it really worries me that I don’t.

And when I think of alternatives, the options that arise are music… or some kind of interior decorating/designing, both of which I love but have no professional training in. So I am wondering if anything in my chart can explain my feelings of ambivalence towards social work, or can point me towards a field I can be more excited about.

Or perhaps I need to think in a different, more revolutionary way about social work? I would really appreciate your help.

Thanks, and God Bless,

capricorn horoscope jewelry necklace Dear Student,

They say that life it too short to spend it doing something you are not passionate for. But for Capricorn risings like you and me, I’d say that life is too long! And looking at your stellium in Scorpio, I have to think you’re going to prove very hard to kill - so I think your concern that you might be on the wrong path is valid… sort of.

See, your education will never be wasted because being psychologically sophisticated is an asset that is applicable to everything all the time. If you consider the symbol for Capricorn - a goat climbing a very large mountain - what you could be discovering is not that you are climbing the wrong mountain, but that the top is somewhat further off than you thought. And when you initially consider this it may upset you, but in reality it’s not that big a deal. This is just life and life unfolds.

And I’m not worried about you at all. Because obviously this has emerged and if you were intent on stuffing your feelings and committing to a career you have no passion for, you would not have written me.

So this is where you are and you are going to have to do something about it. Are you capable of that? Of course! I would bet you are more capable than 95% of the people out there and I bet you’d agree with me.

So just be still and ask the universe to show you the best path. I bet you anything it will oblige and from there you need only execute, which is a walk in the park for Capricorn.

And on a more visceral level, with all those planets in Scorpio, never ever choose the thing that has no energy for you. Because if you do, you will shrivel up.

Good luck.
