Question #5471: Help with a difficult choice

[AskSatanOperator]

Hello, everyone. This is not a spirituality-related question but it's a life management question. We all know it's important to progress in your lives to reach higher levels of advancement. Please, bear with me while I give you some background knowledge behind my indecision.

I accepted an offer to study at a very good university 2 years ago. But, due to some issues with securing funding as well as some mental health and relationship issues, I was given a retrospective interruption of studies, which then turned into a forced withdrawal due to non-payment of fees. 2 years later now, the situation with funding has been fixed and my student record has been re-activated. That, however, thwarts all my planning.

Having struggled with unemployment, I had planned to work this whole year to make some savings before going back to university in September 2025. Despite everything, I feel like I'm not in a position to ask for another interruption of studies. It doesn't help that, to add complexity to the problem, I tried to transfer to my top-choice university and they said 'no'. Not now because the foundation programme I want to transfer to is full, and not next year because my current university's foundation programme allegedly doesn't align well with the undergraduate programme I would be progressing toward right after.

These are the options I have at the moment:
- Withdraw completely from university and reapply for next year, hoping I will still get some good offers and basically spitting in the face of this very good university I'm registered with at the moment.
- Stay in the current university and start this year without changing from my Biological Sciences with Foundation MSci programme to a Computer Science with Foundation MSci programme.
- Stay in my current university and start this year changing to the desired programme.

Now, the reason behind the change is for "future-proofing". According to my analysis, fields like artificial intelligence, cybersecurity and big data will offer the most job security and growth in the next decade and beyond. Biological sciences may be a field too difficult to get in and without much growth. I'm happy to hear arguments agreeing or disagreeing with this. What's certain is that not having a degree is the biggest reason behind my unemployment.

From a birth chart point of view, I don't have any particular direction of what I should do. I have a 10th house stellium (Sun, Mercury, Venus) in Sagittarius. The North Node is also in that house. Scorpio is on the cusp of my 10th house, making Pluto my 10th house ruler. Pluto is also tightly conjunct the MC (less than 1 degree) from the 9th house side in Scorpio. I have many fixed stars aspects that give both military aptitude and talent for the sciences in general, not to mention Mercury is strongly aspected my chart ruler Uranus, which is in the 12th house in Capricorn.

Pisces is on the cusp of the 2nd house, with its ruler Neptune tightly conjunct my chart ruler. No planets in the 2nd house. Cancer is on the cusp of my 6th house with no planets in. The 6th house ruler is in the 8th house in Libra.

Other factors supporting higher education (in my opinion): Jupiter, my stellium ruler, is in the 9th house too in Scorpio. Before anybody says my Sagittarius doesn't really have a stellium because Sun, Mercury and Venus are often bundled up together, I have to tell you there is also a 4th planet in the stellium, Mars, which is in the 11th house.

There's some more non-spiritual factors further complicating my choice. Financial support from the government for higher education is legally for a maximum of 4 years. I already used 2, which means the last 2 years would be completely on me, unless they took into account the mental health issues for the first 2 years, which allows them to extend support for as long as necessary. Either way, I cannot live anymore in "ifs" and "maybes", so it's best to prevent any issue by making savings.

To get maintenance support from the government, I need to work at least 10 hours a week during my studies anyway, due to my immigration status which changes next year.

What are your thoughts? What would you do in my situation?

Hey, how are you? Just breathe my friend.
First thing: do not share that chart info with people unless they are clergy as some may find it and not use it in a good way. Don’t feel bad though I made that mistake a few weeks ago.

As for your decision, why don’t you talk with your university about maybe not going this year so you can assure them you can pay?

You seem to be torn between the two because you not sure which to Persue first. Personally I had this issue as well. I couldn’t decide weather to do school or work or self work. What I did was self work, which sounds like you did( if not I can help there) Trust your intuition
From what I read I believe you want to not go to school but are afraid of losing reputation and respect and are worried. Just talk with the school and see what they say. The Gods guide us. Do what you feel and they guide you too. Sometime you can’t progress as you are going about it from the wrong angle.

This doesn't apply here because the AskSatan account is an anonymous account and the whole reason why the Ask-Satan section exists. If you read the description of this section, you'll find out it's exactly for posting anonymous questions with private data like birth chart data and things that you want to keep private. So things you cannot post from your real account.
