28M, doctoral student of eastern medicine, financially struggling while building toward practice -- what does my chart say about path to stability and when relief might come?"
I'm currently a doctoral student of eastern medicine (the long-term path feels meaningful and clear, but the present reality is that my career hasn't progressed financially and I'm genuinely struggling). I'm not on a traditional career track; I'm building toward something, but the gap between where I am and where I need to be materially is real and pressing.
A few things I'd love insight on:
- What does my chart say about my relationship to money and material stability? Are there placements that explain why this has been a persistent struggle?
- Is there a window in the next 1 to 3 years where financial conditions shift meaningfully, and what might need to happen first?
- Are there types of work or timing considerations my chart specifically supports for generating income during a transitional period like this?"
