Post phd search, need advice (social sciences)

I defended my phd in january (uk) and received my award this week. While defending my phd i was doinh a short research residency, and working as a consultant. I started applying in the last couple of months to postdocs and i’m quickly realising how brutal the market is. During my phd i received scholarships to conduct 2 research visits at top academic institutions, i have 3 articles in press in q1 journals in my field and i was asked by my viva examiner to coauthor with her. I have a lot of output outside of articles as well. Im not from the uk but i figured i could apply for gtv. But yeah, i just wonder what i can do. My supervisors and examiners say ive done and im doing amazing, and to just keep trying bcz the market is brutal but i wish i knew how to be more strategic of theres anything more that i can do.

Will i be able to move for work this year? I’m applying to many opportunities but only receive silence

I’ve worked so hard and obtained a phd, and my presence in the country i wanted to live in has always felt precarious. Last year i left because i thought all the challenges meant that i had to surrender, a few weeks after i left i got an amazing and prestigious oppurtonity that brought me back for 4 months, in that time i decided that i have to take action to come back through an oppurtonity that matches what i bring to the table. For the last couple of months ive been applying and every single answer is delayedbor just silence. I feel like im in a very strange in my life.
Bonus question: i havent been focused on love for the last few years, in fact i felt like maybe its not meant for me in this life time. Why is that?

Jupiter and nodes transits to my 4/10h axis, is it supportive of moving countries and progressing in my career? [astro.com]

I recently graduated my phd, and ive been feeling incredibly insecure about the next step. Are the transits to my 4/10h conducive to a career beginning in academia and visa sponsorship that allows me to move? I'm a virgo with a scorpio moon as u can see, i have always had a plan and some sense of how things might unfold, but this moment in my life feels like uncharted territory, do the current transits explain why?

Should I reach out about the lectureship at my university?

I was recently awarded my PhD focused on digital humanities.
I started focusing on publishing after submission, and now I have 3 publications in press. And my viva examiner asked me to co-author an article.
I’m currently applying to a bunch of things, one of which is a lectureship in my field, in my university, but in a new department that is based in a different part of London. My supervisors and examiners have all said I’m a great fit for the role but interestingly they don’t know the center and it’s team. Is it useful to reach out after applying? Would that enhance my visibility to them. My research and outputs are all in the exact area of the centre and lectureship but I am an early career academic

And also is it reasonable to apply to lectureships right after PhD?
