Best Careers According to Astrology: The Zodiac Guide

Careers today are no longer about seizing market chances or promoting oneself for a degree. Career choice for others is something more too—something that is inner-guided and thus from within themselves. And that is where astrology steps in.

There is a personality for each of the zodiac signs with some being communicative, others creative, and others ambitious. If one looks at them through the lens of astrology, one can more readily identify what are the significant and natural occupational paths for each.

A sign-by-sign examination of what each sign’s natural personality is best suited to do on the job follows:

 

Aries (March 21 – April 19)

The sign of Aries is the first, and its traits are courage, passion, and ambition. Aries will never shy away from taking the initiative. They’re pressure-drenched, time-limited environment doers who perform at their best in such an environment.

Ideal jobs: Army captain, businessperson, sports coach, sales manager, events manager

Aries are action- and movement-types. Sleeping- or routine-type jobs will never suit them.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

Taurus is practical, common-sense, and very responsive to the material plane. They like secure, stable employment with fringe benefits in the long term. They value quality and comfort.

Best occupations: Banker, interior designer, chef, agronomist, investment counselor

They will succeed in quiet, disciplined environments and will save money over several years.

 

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

Gemini is ruled by Mercury, the term planet. Geminis are smart, inquisitive, and social people. They love learning, speaking, and doing several things at a time.

Ideal career: Writer, reporter, public relations officer, teacher, interpreter

Geminis will be best suited to those careers based on communication, writing, or spontaneous thinking. Unconventional schedules will fit them best. Action variety will be most appealing too.

 

Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

Cancer is an emotional, instinctual indication. They are highly sensitive and create strong affective bonds in the workplace.

Ideal career choices: Psychologist, teacher, social worker, nurse, hospitality manager

They would be most appropriate in healing, nurturing professions, or safeguarding and doing so typically in the background with unobtrusive but firm authority.

Leo (July 23 – August 22)

Leo is dominated by the Sun and possesses an identical inclination towards leadership, fame, and domination. Leos desire to be placed under the spotlight for their work and are drawn to creative or status careers.

Good jobs: Actor, CEO, motivational speaker, fashion designer, politician

They bring glamour and authority to their vocation and perform best when they are the center of attention.

 

Virgo (August 23 – September 22)

Virgos have critical minds and powers of observation. They love order and precision and would tend to be attracted to logical and service-oriented professional work.

Dream career: Doctor, editor, accountant, software tester, researcher

They are best suited to accuracy required professions, health, analysis, or background management professions.

 

Libra (September 23 – October 22)

Libra is governed by Venus, which is the taste and harmony planet. Librans are refined, balanced, and appreciate a sense of taste refinement.

Career: Lawyer, fashion designer, human resource manager, interior designer, brand consultant

They shine where tact and refinement are needed and balance groups.

 

 

Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)

Scorpios are tough, down-to-earth, and mysterious. Scorpios enjoy delving to the core of the matter, uncovering secrets, and cracking mysteries.

Best careers: Detective, forensic scientist, surgeon, psychologist, astrologer

They seek emotionally or intellectually challenging careers. This superficiality isn’t enough to make them full on an intensity level.

 

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)

Sagittarians are think-and-world-roamers. Workplace freedom, adventure, and learning are what they desire.

Best career: Professor, travel writer, NGO specialist, photographer, language expert.

They are worst suited for monotonous office work. Their best bet lies in traveling, education, or inspiring the masses.

 

Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)

Capricorns are practical and goal-oriented. People with the earth element of Capricorn are disciplined and ambitious. Capricorns are patient and determined to achieve long-term success.

Best career: Government administrator, lawyer, engineer, business administrator, real estate developer.

They prosper in structured environments where consistent and incremental outcomes happen. They never short-cut and are appreciated for their integrity in the workplace.

 

Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)

Aquarians are progressive thinkers who are ahead of their times. Aquarians are attracted to innovations, technology, and philanthropy.

Ideal profession: Data scientist, inventor, social reformer, app developer, researcher

They prosper in unconventional careers where uniqueness and long-term impressions are cherished over conformity.

 

Pisces (February 19 – March 20)

Pisceans are sensitive and emotional and are empathetic. Pisceans are idealists and would like to select a profession on the basis of spiritual or creative dimension.

Ideal dream jobs: Writer, yoga instructor, film maker, therapist, musician

They are motivated by a vision to be emotionally complete and not rich, and they do well in professions wherein they can mend or build.
