The chart cast has Scorpio rising, making your significator Mars. Mars is angular in the seventh but in Taurus, where it is in detriment. It is also just entering the Sun's beams (It can't be seen in the night sky). The general impression is of someone who feels that they are in the right place to take action but doubt their power to actually achieve their goal and can't see clearly what to do. Mars is also Peregrine, so the feeling is of looking round for someone to help or to guide or to inspire. That someone would normally be signified by Mars' domicile ruler, which is Venus (ruler of Taurus) but Venus is in Gemini and does not 'see' Mars (no major aspect between them).
Your main concern is other people, or more particularly, potential customers, as buying and selling are a first/seventh relationship. Mars is in the Exaltation of the Moon, and the Moon in this chart rules the ninth house, which is associated with higher education and travel (both physical and personal). I read that and the placement in the seventh to signify you are wondering if you can 'educate' enough potential customers to create a market for your product.
So far that is merely confirming the situation described in the question, but I would be concerned if it did not show clearly circumstances which fitted the question.
The potential career is signified by the tenth house, which is ruled by the Sun. The Sun is also angular in the seventh. That's a good place for getting things done but like Mars, the Sun is Peregrine, the career change doesn't carry much power, and The Sun squares it's own house. The Sun is setting, and symbolically that's an 'ending', rather than a 'beginning'.
The Sun shares the same house as Mars, which indicates your affinity with the proposed career change but there's no application of the Sun to Mars. It is growing closer though, so your interest in this career change is strengthening, but there's no decision yet (an application would confirm the outcome of your question as seeking that new career)
There's some promise in the career, Jupiter lies in the tenth and it's a benefic planet. The Sun is just beginning to separate from a square to it, but even a square to Jupiter can bring benefit. Jupiter also rules the second house of your income. so Jupiter gives some indication of the possible income from the job. Being in its own Triplicity (though it is the nocturnal ruler) Jupiter has some dignity and therefore there's some potential earnings here, if you can get the career going. But Mars is moving away from Jupiter, so at the moment the potential may be there but you're not really going to be in a position to take advantage of it.
Looking specifically at advertising, the Moon (ruler of the ninth) is applying to a trine with Jupiter but before it can perfect that trine, it runs into an opposition to Mercury in the eighth and ruling the eighth. The eighth is associated with 'death' and an opposition from the ruler of the eighth suggests that Marketing will not bring in those revenues, or at least to the extent you want them.
Returning to the Mars (you selling your skills) and Venus (potential customers), the relationship between them in inconjunct or to use an old term, averse. The potential customers don't see you, and as Mars is going further into the Sun's beams, that's not going to change.
Lastly Mars is conjunct the fixed star Algol, which is usually recognised as the most malefic star - it symbolises extreme passion, leading to uncontrollable anger and usually an outcome that is not what is wanted, unless you can control that passion.
So while I see some potential and some good things in the career change, I don't see this working at the level of selling your skills to potential customers. Marketing won't help you or at least to the extent that you expect it will and not enough to provide sufficient revenues. The indications for your significator, Mars, are not good, despite being in a good position in the chart. This is more than overcome by Mars being in detriment, being under the beams and conjunct Algol.
Your question related to taking the action straight away, That doesn't rule out the action at some time, even in the not to distant future but I think the implication is that you need to do more planning and preparation.
Hi Minderwiz! Can I ask a question?
What my prospects would be working as a freelancer?
I'm currently unemployed graphic designer and I've been toying with the idea of finding freelance work in the field of illustration. I'd like to know how things would work out if I started marketing myself right about now.
Thanks.
