Astrology being practiced in the western world today emerged in the 1970s and 1980s as an aftermath of the hippie era. Protests against the establishment with its traditional, dusty and rigid structures. Alternatives were sought - and still are today.

But in that era of flow power, job machines were booming. Continuous economic growth. At that time it was much easier to drop out of middle-class life and to finance a drop-out life with lucrative part-time jobs.

It's different today. Because of job globalization, the question no longer arises as to whether one can get out of the system, but rather stay in it or even get in at all. These texts are intended to bridge the gap between blue-eyed hippie astrology and ice-cold corporate astroanalysis. They are aimed at job seekers, part-time and full-time employees and freelancers. No closed, spiritual worldview is conveyed here. Because the job world is not like that.

This astrological career prognosis is as contradictory as life itself. Taboo topics are addressed, and sometimes unfair methods are recommended. Maybe using your elbows in the workplace isn't particularly esoteric. But it helps to survive in the shark tank ;-)
