Question
I was born on November 12, 1958 at 9:00pm.  I am a real estate agent and enjoy helping people purchase their first home.  Is this the best career choice for me?

Answer
Hi Zee,

You were born during the year of the Earth Dog, month of the Water Pig, day of the Water Snake and Water Pig.

In evaluating careers it is actually the element mix that is of crucial importance. Yours is unusual in that you have a great amount of Water in your chart while having not much of three of the five elements.

Your great strength is Water. This element is associated with communicating, travel and networking, well suited for being a real estate agent. You don't, however, have any Metal in your chart, and it is the element most closely associated with money and finance. It's thus possible you could greatly enjoy your profession but not make a lot of money from it, as real estate is all about buying and selling.

The short answer to your question then is maybe not. It's likely you would be more successful if you draw on your strength, Water, but pursue a career not so directly involved with finance. Possible alternatives include writing, journalism, public relations, and maybe teaching.
