To my good friend Akido,
This reading is not going to offer you any hackneyed and patronising advice with regard what you have done wrong or have not done right (mainly because you have done neither of these), which you believe has lead to you still remaining long term unemployed after all this time. I have been looking back at your previous readings including with other valued and respected readers as well as the responses from other well meaning members in the I need A Hug forum, and honestly I think that you have been with the very best of intentions to encourage you not to give up prematurely, given too much advice for anyone to handle.
And it is clear that not only have you been putting too much unfair and extra pressure upon yourself to get a job as soon as you can, but also that your parents who are obviously concerned about the psychological self confidence destroying ability of being without a job this long, have unintentionally out of their genuine love and caring for you pushed your feelings of anxiety and unnecessary guilt to new heights.
It is comforting to be told that God and your angels or guides are all working hard to help you gain suitable employment, and that your wait will soon be at an end. But if it does not happen within the next few months or indeed years, the natural conclusion is that God and your angels and guides were not able to help you, presumably because you are such a hopeless case and you are not really trying your best to help yourself and keep your end of the deal.
Of course the whole idea that your situation is without any real sense of hope for the future, that you are not trying everything which you can possibly think of within reason in order to get a job, or that you are bone lazy and prefer wallowing in self pity is complete nonsense, but all of this well meaning advice could potentially lead an intelligent and sensitive person such as yourself to what is a totally FALSE and unsupported by any solid evidence set of faulty conclusions.
I have been reading and listening about how other people made the most out of their life.
Yes but it is not meant as some sort of competition. We each have a lives to live as we best see fit to do so, and we each have our own often unique challenges and opportunities. Sometimes I find the stories about people who have successfully overcome incredible challenges inspiring and positively motivating to the extreme, but at other times especially when my self confidence has reached record lows their stories make me feel even more inadequate and weak and pathetic, than when I began. And being told that God only sends us what he has already provided us with the resources to cope with, or that what does not kill us only makes us stronger as a result is really not much help and merely acts to kill what self dignity and self respect still remains.
Do not get me wrong. Positive thinking and beautiful spiritual affirmations have their role to play in keeping our fighting spirits alive and kicking, but by themselves unless they are accompanied by practical suggestions with regards to how that person could apply the principles they are teaching in their daily lives, then no matter how much and for how long you believe that you can breathe underwater without a breathing apparatus, you will eventually and inevitably drown. If you can imagine or visualise it in your mind's eye then it must ultimately manifest in the physical world is another one of those sayings that you really do not want to hear at times and in situations such as your current plight.
Snakes in dreams generally appear at times of sudden extreme change or transition in our lives. Green is the colour often associated with healing and balance as well as the heart chakra or psychic energy centre.
A Centaur is a creature from mythology which is half horse and half human. I noticed that you are a Scorpio, but the centaur of course is the symbol of the zodiac sign of Sagittarius (under which your reader was born). Centaurs are thought to be about balancing ones physical needs, with his or her mental and spiritual needs.
So the theme of balancing and healing your physical and spiritual needs is common to both of these dream symbols. The heart chakra is placed mid way between the three more spiritual energy centres starting at the top of your head, and the three more physically attuned chakras ending with the so called root chakra which you sit on. Being placed in this position allows the heart chakra to blend and make the physical and spiritual aspects of that soul work more in harmony together in the same individual. Balance and healing.
One very useful insight in my opinion which preceded the main body of the reading was that if you look for all your physical and spiritual needs to be satisfied by any one job, then you are probably quite unintentionally setting yourself up for disappointment and living a life of regret. Look for a job which satisfies most of your physical needs including the need to earn an honest living and keep afloat financially, but look for most of your other mental and spiritual needs elsewhere (including other jobs or voluntary and charitable activities, hobbies, leisure time study courses etc).
I guess the problem lies in me now.
That is what a lot of people would like you to believe as a convenient excuse for their own lack of any useful effort, to improve the situation. The career direction which you have chosen for yourself is it is felt in the right general area, but if especially you live in Europe, the UK or in particular states in the USA where the unemployment figures are expressed in double digits, the problems are much more likely to be economical and political, than to be coming from you. Australia is going more in the same direction with every passing day.
You are the right person for the job which you are looking for in marketing, but at this depressed point in your country's and the world's business cycle countless highly intelligent and capable workers have been through no fault of their own made redundant. You can only do so much against the powerful forces of economic rationalisation (which is anything but being rational and logical), but do this much for your own sake as well as for the sake of any dependants you might have, you must.
