There is no hard and fast rule on this for all situations, but this is one of the reasons why we allow the Moon to act as a co-significator for the querent in every question. Unless the descriptions suggest you should do this the other way around, I would use Mercury to signify the job and take the Moon for the querent ? either way, a positive application between them will show good prospects for getting the job.

Hi Deb,

Actually the question is about whether or not she should leave the job and the Moon is separating from a retrograde Mercury - mutually separating as it were - so I guess I have my answer.

Thanks for clearing that up for me.
