Career byHoroscope · Western Zodiac

People born under the Sign of Aries need freedom above all else, as they are very take-charge people who like to do things their own way. In their choice of career Aries needs a large degree of autonomy. They're leaders by nature and a subordinate position doesn't suit them well, nor will repetitive work of any kind hold their interest long enough to see the task through to a successful conclusion. An ideal career for an Aries person might be one in the military but they also would also do well in any professional sports or sports-related jobs. Their autonomous natures make them well suited to run their own businesses, and their abilities are ideal for heading expeditions, or acting as tour leaders. Good careers for Aries include: Military Officer, Manager, Politician, Actor, Sports Professional, Newscaster or Model.

People born under the Sign of Taurus have a natural ability when it comes to handling, as well as acquiring, money. They are well suited (no pun intended) to a banking or financial career, having the propensity to make money for others as well as themselves. Other occupations where they may find their niche are in the field of the performing arts. Taurus people are very physical and can train their bodies to a pinnacle of artistic creative expression if they so desire. Dance and music come very naturally to them, but they can be equally successful when creating something solid and real like a piece of sculpture or a painting. Producing new life from the earth is something that many Taurus people excel at, as farming or gardening suits the earth component of their nature. Good careers for Taurus include: Farmer, Painter, Sculptor, Investment Broker, Banker, Stockbroker, or Insurance Agent.

People born under the Sign of Gemini are very cerebral. They tend to live exclusively in their minds, and whatever new business whim they may think, they are generally swift at executing it. They may lack the staying power to bring their grandiose dreams to fruition, however. The airy nature of the Gemini personality makes them perfect for a career in the media or communications of some kind. Public relations, market research or any job that brings them into contact with the public on a regular basis would be ideal for their outgoing natures. Their ability to communicate ideas quickly, clearly and effectively can be put to good use in a variety of sales positions, whether door-to-door or on the showroom floor. Good careers for Gemini include: Salesperson, Public Relations Executive, Surgeon, Scientist, Politician, Actor or News Anchor.

People born under the Sign of Cancer are quite well suited to the caring professions. Nursing, psychology or indeed any sort of medical career can all be very rewarding for Cancer persons. There is also present in the Crab a strong nostalgic attachment to the past, so they might perhaps consider a career as an historian, antique dealer, building restoration or any work associated with preservation. There is an artistic side to Cancer people that can often be expressed in creating something that will enhance their homes or nourish their loved ones. These skills can often translate to a career, perhaps as a chef, textile designer or interior decorator. Good careers for Cancers include: Psychotherapist, Social Worker, Chef, Counselor, Commercial Fisher, Obstetrician, or Teacher.

People born under the Sign of Leo have a strong tendency towards the dramatic. They constantly need to have their efforts recognized in public. Working behind the scenes isn't very appealing to the typical Leo, who would normally prefer to take the center of every stage. Leos enjoy being the boss. The nature of their work is of less importance than the way in which they execute it, which is always with their trademark style and panache. Leos can be difficult to work with in team situations, due to their unrelenting tendency towards self-promotion, but they are not bad people at heart and, as long as they receive a bit of recognition, they can be very productive and versatile employees. Good careers for Leos include: Manager, Actor, Lawyer, Politician, Computer Programmer, Director, or Small Business Owner.

People born under the Sign of Virgo are generally very sincere and dependable, and can be trusted intimately with all important business matters. They have a strong work ethic and are experts at "burning the midnight oil". The only problem is that they may not know when to stop. (Virgos do not believe in or obey the "law of diminishing returns.") What they see as a consummate professionalism translates out to their coworkers as a restrictive perfectionism that can rub less dedicated people the wrong way. Virgos are discreet in the workplace, and can often rise into the upper echelons of the business world by virtue of sheer labor, as long as it's in an intellectual and not physical sense. Good careers for Virgos are: Actuary, Investment Banker, Stockbroker, Insurance Agent, Corrections Officer, Government Minister, or Accountant.

People born under the Sign of Libra are generally very ambitious at their jobs, but can hide this ambition for strategic reasons behind an air of insouciance and unruffled calm. Libra people are suited to any profession where their skills of tact and diplomacy count for something. They make excellent personnel managers, counselors of various kinds, and, of course, their innate sense of justice can serve the law well, whether as a private lawyer or a judge. Their appreciation of the arts and all things of beauty can fit them well for a career in the fashion industry, or interior decoration. They are innovative at design and decor, whether dressing a stage, a window or a top model. Their sense of verbal communication can result in them becoming authors of great literature, too. Good careers for Libra include: Writer, Astrologer, Interior Decorator, Painter, Game Show Host, Lawyer, or Prime Minister.

People born under the Sign of Scorpio have a natural affinity with all things hidden and mysterious. Because of this, Scorpio people can be natural detectives. Work in the fields of psychology, medical research or investigative journalism satisfies their deep desire to unearth the secret answers of the universe. Mining operations, oil drilling and archaeology are all associated with this sign. Scorpio people also have excellent memories capable of retaining large amounts of information, which can make them eminently suitable for the sciences or as college professors or computer programmers. It is important for Scorpio people not to get too emotionally involved in their work, or they could worry themselves into a nervous breakdown over relatively minor things. Good careers for Scorpios include: Detective, Pathologist, Butcher, Soldier, Journalist, Market Analyst, or Undertaker.

People born under the Sign of Sagittarius are freewheeling souls who are unafraid of taking risks and enjoy new experiences. Many are therefore interested in starting their own businesses, and they generally have a great deal of good luck and success at such ventures. Many Sagittarius people seem to have a positive knack of being in the right place at the right time. They are also adaptable and able to tend several pots on the stove all at the same time. Sagittarius people are also associated with professional sports, as well as more intellectual professions such as teaching and the law. They may also dabble in more metaphysical and less remunerative pursuits, such as the clergy. Good careers for Sagittarians include: Veterinarian, Priest, Lawyer, Writer, Teacher, Athlete, or Small Business Owner.

People born under the Sign of Capricorn have great ambitions, and will work tirelessly to get to the top of their chosen field. They have a painstaking thoroughness with whatever project they are working on, and don't mind investing long hours if they are convinced it will pay off and further their career. Capricorn people make all their decisions deliberately and sensibly as they assess the situation. They are patient and quite happy to wait for their turn to come as they put one foot after another further up the ladder of their career. They are found in all trades related construction, whether surveying, insuring, designing or actually building. Capricorn people enjoy being totally responsible for a given company, and they shine at the top. Good careers for Capricorns include: Manager, Banker, Accountant, Producer, News Anchor, Art Dealer, or Engineer.

People born under the Sign of Aquarius tend to have successful careers in the fields of communications, electronics, and aviation. They dislike being tied to a routine, and might do well out in the community working for the benefit of their fellow man in some way. Aquarius people shine in any career that offers them the scope to apply their ideals and utilize their unusual talents. They need to have a large degree of autonomy in their working day, and the responsibility to make decisions without having to constantly defer to a superior. Aquarians have a gift of being at ease with their colleagues, and are often active members of societies and clubs in their spare time. Good careers for Aquarius include: Scientist, Photographer, Astrologer, Singer, Social Worker, Inventor, or Writer.

People born under the Sign of Pisces possess a vast fund of artistic creativity. The personal dream world Pisces people so often inhabit can provide them with a wealth of material with which to create careers in writing, music, acting, dancing and all other artistic professions. They are also in their element when their work involves caring for others, whether medically, spiritually or through a charitable organization. If they are emotionally involved in their work, their sense of vocation is very strong and they can be dedicated enough to specialize in their chosen field. Pisces people must take great care not to get too emotionally involved in their work, or they may suffer for it in the long run! Good careers for Pisces include: Ballet Dancer, Painter, Musician, Director, Priest, Advertising Executive, or Social Worker.
