Hi Pamela. I'm sorry to hear about what your niece went through.
If you look at her challenging Mars-Saturn-Pluto T-square with Mars (in 10) ruling the 6th of work and colleagues this may be a clue as to what happened here.
Hopefully, your niece has a friend there from whom she can get the scoop. If the job gets filled by someone else you'll know immediately it wasn't a "budget cut" but rather that office politics was at play. Careers in the arts are so difficult to come by that maybe someone in authority orchestrated the firing to bring a "favorite" on board. That would be very slimy but not beyond Saturn-Pluto to pull off.
Employees who do great work and have to be let go for budgetary reasons are usually told so. Something smells fishy here.
Mars-Saturn-Pluto is very cut-throat and Machiavellian and the connections with job and career are interesting!
Her chart suggests that this may be a theme that she runs into again in future.
As a young person she might become very frightened of the workplace and distrusting of her place in it. With maturity, at the Saturn return, that can be overcome and opportunities for great success can be achieved.
Regards,
Dean B.
Well, Dean, looks like you were right, unfortunately for my niece. As I said in a previous post, it turns out that my niece had felt from the beginning that her immediate superior didn't like her, and relations with her were uncomfortable from the beginning - until just a few days before my niece was let go, at which point relations with her superior suddenly greatly improved, such that my niece was feeling great about everything. Then, 'out of the clear blue sky,' BOOM.
As I said in my other post, I'll bet the reason her superior's attitude towards her suddenly changed for the better was because she knew that my niece was going to be let go, and I'll bet she had had a major hand in arranging it. Her immediate superior was not all that much older than my niece, and I'll bet she felt threatened by her. What do you want to bet?! Anyway, such is life.
