Our star signs say a lot about us as individuals, and our individual nature says a lot about our choice in career. We spend around 1/3 of every day at work, so why not do something that enriches who you are inside? Your ambition, hard work, and success can be something you love when you choose a path that speaks to what and who you are as an individual.
In order to determine if you’re maximizing your happiness in your field, you might want to look at your various strengths given to you by your horoscope sign. This takes a deeper dive into what makes you good at what you do, and how you enjoy improving and progressing in your various aspects of self.
Breaking Down The Signs
Taking a look at each individual star sign and their specific strengths is a great place to start. Your professional strengths by star sign are:
Aries
The Aries star sign makes natural born leaders and those who thrive climbing up their ladder throughout their professional lives. You live for taking each next step and building upon your personal skills to excel even further in your career path. Where Aries is strongest is in careers that allow you to show off your progression and personal improvement through a little healthy competition.
Taurus
A Taurus employee is a great employee, with a heavy focus on practicality and being down to earth. The Taurus is also quite flexible, with an ability to move from leader to follower and back again with ease and no bruised ego. The practicality of Taurus is perfect for careers in banking and finance, where their tenacity is really rewarded.
Gemini
The Gemini star sign needs to be stimulated to avoid getting bored. In a typical routine, the Gemini might find themselves feeling less happy as they grow more restless in their “comfortable” position. Careers that Geminis feel most happy in tend to be ones where they juggle plenty of this and that, and ones that continuously challenge them both mentally and physically.
Cancer
Cancer star signs are the most naturally nurturing of the zodiac, so they really get enjoyment in leading by example and providing their natural care to others. They’re natural problem solvers and feel true joy when they see their solutions garner results. The Cancer star sign may be happiest in fields like nannying, social work, and human resources.
Leo
The Leo star sign is naturally inspiring, and they love sort of admiration they get after they inspire those around them. Teaching, politics, and other fields where Leos can really connect and impact others will make them most happy, as well as jobs in the entertainment industry where they can see the direct impact they make on their audiences.
Virgo
The Virgo star sign is compassionate, considerate, and without ego in their own careers. This makes them particularly happy in fields like nursing, service, or therapy, where they can connect with people and make positive impacts without being showy about it.
Libra
Libras strive for balance in all things, and they’re natural mediators that have a magnetic way of bringing other people together. This star sign has a unique advantage where they can incorporate their natural skills into a vast array of different career fields, allowing them to be adaptable pretty much anywhere. By embracing their skills in their career, they can find happiness in just about whatever they choose to do.
Scorpio
The Scorpio excels at intelligence, discretion, and standing up to a challenge. This makes this sign particularly great at sensitive careers where they may handle delicate information or expensive goods. Embracing their natural skills, Scorpios will be happiest in careers like intelligence, crisis management, or puzzling out a forensic mystery.
Sagittarius
Hard work and Sagittarius go hand-in-hand, and their adventurous nature allows them to excel in careers that include a little risk. The trick to career happiness for the Sagittarius is truly finding what you love and making a career out of it, as their personalities fit in with such a vast array of different paths. If you love travel, opt for a professional that takes you around the world. If you love to build, opt for a career in construction. If you love getting in touch with your wild side, a career in wildlife is sure to make you happiest. No matter where you go, you’ll remain satisfied as long as you keep your hard work ethic.
Capricorn
The Capricorn is enthusiastic, charismatic, and ready to stand up to authority. However, they’re also organized and efficient. Due to this unique skills set, Capricorns excel both personally and professionally in administrative and management positions that allow them to “take charge” and live by their own rules. The good part about a Capricorn in charge is that it’s sure to be an efficiently tight-run ship.
Aquarius
Thinking outside of the box is one of the brightest spots of the free-spirited sign of Aquarius. For these star signs, feeling kept in tight quarters is a sure way to feel unhappy, while a career that allows for a bit of freedom and creativity is your ticket to thrive. You’ll feel happiest when you’re professionally enriched with the freedom you crave. Aquarius does particularly well in science and tech fields where they’re encouraged to embrace their uniqueness.
Pisces
The Pisces just wants to do their best, and they don’t need to impress the entire office to feel satisfied with themselves and their careers. The Pisces star sign is naturally sensitive and connected, so they fare particularly well in care positions that allow them to challenge themselves while connecting with others. When it comes to professional fields, it doesn’t get much better for Pisces than healthcare, where they can progress, learn, and adapt while also using their skills to directly improve the lives of those around them.
