Aries in Career
You need plenty of scope for self-expression and initiative in your work. You need the freedom to take on challenges in your own way because predictable routine is not for you. You make a good leader and enjoy having a busy bustling atmosphere around you. You also don't mind the added incentive of competition from colleagues. You need good incentive to work, which may simply consist of the challenge of surmounting problems. Of course, winning is its own reward.
You can find fulfilment in many varied careers, but some typical Aries careers are the following: soldier, butcher, dealing in weaponry, explorer, metallurgist, surgeon, dentist, engineer, motor mechanic, motor industry, railways, fire-fighting, professional sportsman, psychologist or psychiatrist.
Taurus in Career
Working in a large organisation can provide the security you need, and you don't mind the rigid routine as much as others. Once you know how things are done, you are good at building up your own business, although a more assertive partner can be a great asset. Don't let opportunities be sacrificed for your need for security. Sometimes you may lack flexibility in your relationships with colleagues. Taureans are often found working in the areas of money and property, agriculture, music, cooking and the fashion industry. The types of career that may interest you include working as a model, jeweller, singer, musician, sculptor, art dealer, florist, horticulturist, landscape gardener, farmer, surveyor, builder, architect, auctioneer, property dealer, banker, financier, civil servant, accountant, businessman, masseur or cook.
Gemini in Career
There will probably be more than one important career path in your life. Communication will most likely play an important role in your job. You need variety in your work, so if there is only predictable routine, you will need to find some way of livening it up or you will leave. You are easily bored, so if there is the chance of travel within your job, so much the better. You work well with younger people because you are able to keep up with the issues that affect them, although you are not likely to have enough patience to deal with very young children. You are very skilled at working with your hands.
The types of careers that may attract those with their Sun in Gemini are as a teacher, lecturer, writer, commentator, broadcaster, travel agent, shop assistant, in the medical profession, commercial traveller, craftsman, chauffeur, postman, navigator or linguist.
Cancer in Career
You should look for any career where you feel that you are protecting or caring for others. You make a loyal and creative worker, although if you are worried about something, you can get into a flap and intellectually your work will suffer. Physical exercise is excellent because it helps you work off any aggression and anger you feel. You can be extremely shrewd, so you do well in business. Other lines of work that may suit are nursing, working with children, catering, the antiques trade and working with anything to do with the sea.
Leo in Career
You are a very hard worker with high standards. In general, you are quite ambitious, but without the necessary ruthless streak that would get you to the top all the sooner. Within your job, you need the freedom to express your showmanship, enthusiasm and natural creativity. You show natural organisational ability and powers of leadership. Your very high standards apply both to yourself and to those working underneath you. You hate amateurism and cannot operate in a restricted position or under a small-minded boss. Full job satisfaction comes when you can feel emotionally involved in some way. Your whole identity and the way you define yourself is connected to your career and your professional achievements.
The types of professions where a Leo might be found are the following: jeweller, goldsmith, youth worker, chairman, managing director, professional sportsman, actor, dancer, party planner or astrologer. Really, a Leo can be found in any profession that allows him or her to gain publicity and show off.
Virgo in Career
Security is very important to you. You also need to be stretched intellectually and have variety in your job, although you are well able to cope with predictable routine. You are an ideal employee because you hate delegating and prefer to oversee each part of the operation yourself. Your critical abilities make you an excellent teacher, investigative reporter, writer or market researcher. But watch that any critical tendencies don't alienate work colleagues. You possess very good business sense and make a perfect secretary or administrative assistant, although you are more than capable of aiming higher. Try not to worry too much about your job, or you will find it affects your general health. Your interest in dietary and health matters may lead you to work in these fields.
On the domestic scene, you need at least one practical hobby to soothe your often over-active mind.
Libra in Career
You function best in a partnership, especially one where the partner takes care of the practical areas and paperwork and leaves you to work your charm on the clients. Librans are typically very successful in small businesses rather than working their way up the corporate ladder. This is partly because the higher you go, the lonelier you get, which Librans abhor.
Within your job, you are happy to spend time patiently working towards a goal whilst performing high quality work. You often find yourself in the position of peacemaker at work since you feel extremely uncomfortable when petty squabbles erupt between colleagues. Company politics leave you cold as well. You hold very high standards for yourself and also for your colleagues, who may not be able to live up to them.
The types of work that appeal to Librans are usually creative and take place in pleasant surroundings. Glamorous work, in particular, appeals to you. You might find yourself working in the fashion industry or in the luxury trades, as a hairdresser, beauty therapist, interior decorator, fabric designer, dress designer, receptionist, diplomat, welfare worker or valuer.
Scorpio in Career
You need a career which involves you totally, emotionally and mentally. Often your career is an extension of what interested you as a child. You are a hard worker and can cope with tough conditions. You find it easy to study and you prefer to know your subject inside out or else you feel insecure. Your memory is excellent and you usually have all the pertinent knowledge at your fingertips. You have a strong natural business sense and turning any interest into a profit making concern. Your forte is your ability in research and ferreting out information and detail. Any work you do needs to be absorbing.
Some typical Scorpio careers include detective, police work, forensic scientist, coroner, undertaker, pharmacist, surgeon, the armed forces, psychoanalyst, insurance, big business, banking, the wine trade, plumbing, mining, engineering, waste disposal and even crime.
Sagittarius in Career
It is not unusual for a Sagittarian to hold down two or more jobs at once. Almost any career choice is possible for you, as long as it doesn't involve claustrophobic working conditions, and you can clearly see each step that lies ahead. You need a job that supplies continual challenge and the freedom to respond to that challenge in your own way. Predictable daily routine leaves you unhappy at work. The opportunity to travel as part of your work often gives you the freedom that you need. If you have a dull job, you may take up a very demanding study course that provides the stimulation that you need, and perhaps a qualification that helps you climb out of the rut you are in.
If your work is intellectually demanding, your hobbies will be physically demanding and vice versa, although you probably prefer not to work physically hard as a job. Typical Sagittarian choices of career include teacher, professor, lecturer, philosopher, priest, publisher, writer, librarian, bookseller, explorer, travel agent, veterinary surgeon, horse trainer, jockey, lawyer, barrister or interpreter.
Capricorn in Career
Capricorns are often found working in big business relating to finance, as estate agents and as property managers. This is because they seek security and a job which gives them the opportunity to exercise their ambition. You aren't prepared to take any uncalculated risks.
Going-it-alone is an integral part of the Capricorn's make-up so it is not surprising to find many of them in their own business or at the very top position in a company, which can be very lonely. In fact their lack of team spirit, or simple lack of sensitivity in regard to their colleagues, means that they should consider going into a partnership in great depth if it entails close collaboration. Other areas in the Chart, the Midheaven in particular, may modify their career choice to a certain degree. In general, Capricorns are very popular at work, especially if they feel comfortable enough to let their sense of humour emerge.
When it comes to spare time, the question is 'What spare time?'. You are probably so busy with your career and other objectives in your life that there is no empty time in your life. Your hobbies are usually very useful ones which can also add some new dimension to your career. Some Capricorns even make social climbing their hobby.
You probably enjoy reading, especially the classics or long family sagas. Music is also very important to you. Gardening and other crafts will allow you to express yourself so they can be particularly enjoyable.
Aquarius in Career
You need to be able to express your inventiveness and originality in your work, whilst enjoying a fair amount of freedom and independence. You can deal with dull routine work, but you will feel stifled. No matter what the job, you are able to bring a fresh approach and way of looking at things to everything you do. Your idealism and humanitarianism would be well-suited in a job where you felt you were benefitting and helping others in some way.
You have the ability to use your creativity in a scientific way, but you hate having your motives questioned, or being cramped by a boss or by colleagues. You prefer to be left alone to get on with the job, although you can work well in a team situation.
You like to work either at the forefront of science or technology, or in work dealing with the very ancient past. Some typical Aquarian career paths might include ecologist, scientist, astronomer, astrologer, inventor, radiologist, archaeologist, TV broadcaster, writer, sociologist, charity worker, humanitarian worker, the United Nations, the airlines or the Air Force, social work or computers.
Pisces in Career
You first need to develop sufficient self-confidence and recognise that you must cope with the practical and material side of life before you are in a position to attain the remarkable success you are capable of. You are versatile, shrewd and clever, but you need direction. Your job must provide you with enough variety, flexibility and freedom, or else you will find it stifling and claustrophobic. You often hold more than one job at a time. You should use your spare time to develop some of your enormous potential.
Pisceans are often found working behind the scenes, hiding behind a public persona or playing a role. The career areas which would suit you are in the caring professions, the theatre, the fashion trade, cosmetic industry or counselling. A Piscean can make a success out of almost any line of work, making the job theirs in a very creative and insightful way.
