The Best Career for Your Zodiac Sign - More

Astrology can help you chose the path that’s right for you!

Earth signs such as Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn possess a natural knack for money making, while fiery Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius get ahead based on their unending energy, enthusiasm and sheer force of personality. Shy and sensitive Water signs, including Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces, thrive in environments offering depth, spirituality and nurturing, whereas extroverted chatty Air signs like Gemini, Libra and Aquarius are the universe’s communicative, cutting-edge visionaries.

If you are just starting out in the working world or are looking to change careers, you don’t need to take a test or consult a career professional—just look to the stars. Your zodiac sign may be an indicator of what careers best suit your lifestyle and personality.

While we won’t all be rich, you can find satisfaction in your job, especially if you seek out one that is congruent with your zodiac sign.

Aries (March 21 - April 19)

Aries are natural born leaders, and as such they have an easy time translating that authority into becoming one badass boss. But heads up: You're not the best at working for a boss, as you can become irritated by micromanagement and restriction. Don't worry, Aries—you'll rise to the top in no time…that is, if you make sure to finish what your start.

Aries is the youngest sign in the zodiac. There is a reason the sign is represented by a ram—Aries are strong (and strong-willed), vibrant, enthusiastic, and competitive. They thrive in commission-based jobs, especially if there is a bonus involved. Due to their bravery (and their impulsivity), they are the heroes of our lives—the police officers and firefighters. They are excellent promoters and may find the world of advertising and public relations appeals to their outgoing nature.

Best jobs for Aries signs:

*Entrepreneur, soldier, rescue worker; work well in the fields of government and politics, television, and recreation.

*Anything having to do with competition or physicality is right up your alley. Think: outdoor guide, personal trainer, athlete, or working for a sports organization. And, as mentioned before, a CEO or other management professional isn't far off—you like being in control, and do best when you can offer your insight to a support team to execute.

Taurus (April 20 - May 20)

One of the things a Taurus enjoys most is stability. They will work very hard for certain guarantees—good benefits, vacation time, salary, job security. Determined, patient, honest, and methodical, they are excellent team members and extremely dependable. Taurians have a fondness for beautiful things and love working with flowers, food, jewelry, and luxury items. They are also known for their clear, strong voices and do well as an announcer, public speaker, or receptionist.

Best jobs for Taurus signs: accountant, educator, engineer, lawyer, designer, landscaper, chef.

Gemini (May 21 - June 20)

Want to make a Gemini happy? Give her plenty to do and make it intellectually stimulating. Remember that Geminis are twins, which means you have to engage two people, so they need to have a lot going on and like fast-paced, pressured environments. They won’t survive long doing tedious or repetitive work. Jobs that require travel are perfect, as are jobs that require social networking. Geminis are optimistic and full of energy—they should be encouraged to let go and express themselves rather than be confined to traditional rules.

Geminis thrive in fast-paced, stimulating environments that offer them variety and the chance to interact with many different things—whether that's people, applications, environments—you get the gist. You can quickly move through anything at rapid speed, but beware: this also means you can get bored, and quickly, if not given a diverse task list. Just make sure you don't fall into a tedious work environment, and you'll be happy.

Best jobs for Geminis: Stockbroker, switchboard operator, technical support, teacher, architect, machine operator, rescue worker. Anything that requires relaying information and keeping up with tons of different topics is an ideal career path for Gemini, so teaching and communications are perfect for you. You're mentally active and love to process a lot of different aspects of a project, so being a go-between of sorts would also work well—think PR and publicity or project manager

Cancer (June 21 - July 22)

Cancer is the mother of the zodiac (Capricorn is the father), so these sensitive types do well in jobs that require nurturing or taking care of things. However, this isn’t just about working with children or puppies; Cancer signs make excellent executives, much like a multi-tasking mom who’s in charge. Cancerians give great advice and are very protective. They handle responsibility with ease and are imaginative problem solvers.

Best jobs for Cancers: Cancers make natural childcare workers and nannies, but they also make amazing social workers, human resource employees, lawyers, teachers, and executives. Healthcare and wellness are also important and vital parts of this sign, so anything in those arenas—like being a dietitian or nutritionist—are right up your alley.

Leo (July 23 - August 22)

Nothing like a mighty lion to lead your company into success and high profits. Fearless, inspiring, and independent, Leos work best when they are in the spotlight and love jobs that bring status and power. They can be high-maintenance and disruptive to a team environment, but their charm usually wins everyone over in the end. Not to be micro-managed, Leos possess spontaneity and ingenuity and do well when encouraged to lead instead of follow.

Best jobs for Leo signs: CEO, performer, tour guide, real estate agent, interior decorator, fashion designer, government, saleperson.

Virgo (August 23 - September 22)

Virgos are known for their perfectionism and do very well in detailed-oriented professions. They remember things, excel at abstract thinking, and are very tidy and neat. Many Virgos do well in service-type jobs—you would be very happy with a Virgo manicurist or server (plus Virgos tend to make more money when working for tips). Writing, research, and statistics come easy to the meticulous Virgo brain. They are also easy to get along with as they are generally very cheerful. Many Virgos have a knack for languages.

Best jobs for Virgos:

Virgos have amazing memories and their perfectionism means they deal well with mass amounts of information and know what to do when emotions run high. They do extremely well in the service and care industries—as servers, running shops, working the front desk, and as therapists—while they also excel at anything that requires mass amounts of research or stats—think fact-checker and editor, technician, translator, or detective.

Libra (September 23 - October 22)

Libras—what would we do without them? They are good-looking and charming, gracious, and entertaining. Their cooperative nature makes them excellent ambassadors and team leaders. If you ever have to deal with customer service over the phone, it will go much smoother if the operator is a Libra. More so than any sign, Libras are “people people.” They are not the type to slave away in some dark room; they thrive in buzzing, social environments. Many Libras gravitate toward the arts and will most likely be the lead singer of a band, interacting with the audience, rather than a brooding songwriter.

Best jobs for Libras: Represented by the scales of justice, law enforcement and justice are natural fits for you. You're a people person at heart, so working with others is crucial to your happiness—think hospitality, customer service, diplomats, travel agents, and even a wedding planner.

Scorpio (October 23 - November 21)

Intense—that’s what they are. Need a bomb diffused? How about complicated brain surgery? Trust me, you want a Scorpio for the job. Scorpios are able to block out distractions, concentrate, and focus like a laser beam. They are curious and are often drawn to mysteries—you would never want to be cross-examined or interrogated by a Scoripo for they are not only intimidating, but also very intuitive. Scorpios are also drawn to the abnormal and they like to know what makes things tick. (Think Fox Mulder on The X-Files.) Just don’t hover around them—they need their independence and their employer’s trust.

Best jobs for Scorpios: As mentioned, you would be at home in the surgery room or as a secret agent, as well as working in crisis management (things that need a high level of secrecy) like a real-life Olivia Pope. You're also great with resource management and logistics, and would make an outstanding chief financial officer.

Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21)

Sagittarius have a knack for conversing with others, inspiring morale, working hard as team player, adapting to change, and encouraging others to enjoy the jobs that they do. Translation? You're kind of good at everything when it comes to working. Many careers will fit the bill for you—as long as you're not restricted by hierarchy and too many rules.

Sagittarians are ethical, full of energy, and rather philosophical. They are excellent decision-makers and make fair and easygoing bosses. Many Sagittarians are spiritual, which can translate well into careers involving the environment, animals, and counseling, as well as religion. They also love to travel and be outdoors. Outgoing and fun-loving, they are likable and witty coworkers who can defuse tense situations with humor and tact. They will not be tied down or bothered with the little details. Routine kills their spirit.

Best jobs for Sagittarius signs: You love to travel and learn from others in every part of the world, so any job related to the travel industry is a good one, as is any job that has travel as a big part of the job—think consulting or tourism. Since you love inspiring others, you're also great as a teacher, youth program leader, or working for a non-profit.

Capricorn (December 22 - January 19)

Capricorns are very ambitious and need challenges to be happy. Just like the mountain goat climbs on the tiniest crags to get to the top, Capricorns are determined and persistent—they will do what whatever it takes. Most are responsible and conscientious; many enjoy power. They run a tight ship—they will enforce rules and keep everyone on schedule. If you need something done right (and to exact standards), look no further than a Capricorn. They also tend to be workaholics.

Best jobs for Capricorns: Capricorns run a tight ship, so they're great at being a manager or administrator for a number of career paths or companies. Your production and administrative skills are some of the best, and you work well in corporate environments with set hierarchies that let you "achieve" the next rung on the ladder. You also make great engineers, architects, and design-adjacent employees, as you're one for details.

Aquarius (January 20 - February 18)

Aquarians are true, free spirits. But don't mistake this for flighty workers—they're hardworking, albeit with an out-of-the-box attitude. You're social but also kind of a loner, making you adept at handling team assignments as well as working on your own. You tend to come up with ideas that at first thought are "wacky" before being deemed "brilliant", and you tend to never state the "obvious"—which make you bad in project discussions, since you're 2 steps ahead of everyone else.

The quality that sets Aquarians apart from everyone else is their humanitarian nature (it’s also why they are flighty in matters of the heart, but that’s another story). They love to explore avant-garde ideas and have a curious and adventurous nature. They are the most likely to have an unconventional job, maybe even one of their making. They will rebel against corporate environments, needing freedom of thought and movement. They will not be satisfied doing things the same way they have always been done. If you need a fresh approach, an Aquarius will not let you down.

Best jobs for Aquarius signs: Science or tech (if you can explore new theories or applications), graphic design or photography, and even project management—if you get to explore new ways of doing something. You're also an ideal entrepreneur or independent contractor, as you rebel against corporate culture and work best on your own schedule.

Pisces (February 19 - March 20)

Pisces is the oldest sign in the zodiac and many Pisceans have that “old soul” feel about them. The key words here are creative and passionate. They excel in the traditional arts (music, dance, photography). Pisceans are also highly intuitive. If your stylist is a Pisces, she will not only give you a modern and unique haircut; she will also give you the haircut that fits you best. Many astrologers and tarot practitioners are Pisces signs. Their intuition also helps in fields that require compassion.

Pisces are as flexible as they come when it comes to the workforce—you're not concerned about proving yourself to others, you're only concerned with doing the best you can. You can navigate a number of professions, but are generally happiest when you find a job that caters to your sensitive, healing side. You're compassionate and highly intuitive—making you great in areas that are both healing and restorative, like the arts and medicine.

Best jobs for Pisces signs: Anything having to do with healthcare—where you can heal others—is an ideal fit. Think nurse, doctor, physical therapist, psychologist, etc. You also thrive in the arts, like dance and music. (Many combine these traits, such as becoming a color therapist or working in arts programs that help troubled teens.)
