Ever wonder if astrology can help you to find a career that’s really right for you? Looking at your Sun Sign and other prominent signs in your birth chart can help point the way to your bliss and success in the work place. It’s important to remember that your chart represents potential; life represents your reality. It’s also important to remember that your attitude will make the difference no matter what your chart might say. To find out the details about your own potential in work you will need to consult with astrologer and look at your birth chart. A good astrologer will be able to interpret the many facets of your chart that can lead to more clarity about this important area of life. Of course, if you have some basic knowledge of your own chart you will be able to use some of these tips to figure things out for yourself.
Your Sun Sign is important, but the houses in your birth chart often reveal more about your aptitude in the work place. The 2nd house in your chart represents the resources you can draw upon to make money. It also has to do with your attitudes about money. If, for example, you have a strong Gemini theme in your 2nd house you can make money using your mental energy, ideas, and people skills. This also indicates you might be able to handle more than one job as a source of income. The money you make may not be as important as the mental stimulation you get from your job. If Taurus is the theme of your 2nd house earning money may be more important that what you do. You may opt for a field that is steady and yields a high income rather than something more speculative in nature.
The 6th house in your chart has to do with your attitudes about work, what kind of job would suit you, your style of working, and what kind of employee you would make. For example, if you have a strong Aries theme in your 6th house your attitude about work will be independent. You will need daily challenges and excitement to feel satisfied in your work environment. You will also do better if you work for yourself or have a job where you are not closely supervised and have some autonomy. If Libra is the theme in your 6th house you will do well in a people oriented environment. You are a team player and will thrive in a job where you feel you are helping people and improving things. You will be happier in a work environment that is tranquil and visually appealing; the art gallery instead of the lumber yard.
The 10th house has to do with your long-term career path and potential recognition for your career. A person with a Leo theme in the 10th house has a lot that they want to express. They really want to be somebody, so choosing a long-term career path where personal recognition is possible will be important. The 10th house also has to do with attitudes about authority, and Leo wants to BE the authority, so working for yourself or being boss will be more appealing than working for others directly. If your 10th house is dominated by a Pisces theme your long-term career path will likely be related to creativity, helping and healing others, or something that fulfills your spiritually. Pisces is not motivated by ego recognition so much as the desire to give selflessly. Social work or the Peace Corps might fit the bill perfectly.
Let’s go through the signs of the zodiac and get some basic information about money, career, and work. These descriptions will apply to you if your Sun, Rising Sign, 2nd House, 6th House, or 10th house is in the sign we are talking about. Remember, there are lots of other factors that will determine your potential, but these basics are a good starting point.
Aries: With an Aries theme in your chart you need a sense of independence. Working for yourself or in a job where you don’t have close supervision is important. You need a little excitement in the work place, so boring routines are out. When it comes to money you like immediate gratification and could do well in a commission-based business where your aggressive nature can lead you to fast cash. You will be happier if your job is action based in some way, rather than sedentary or purely mental. For this reason some Aries types enjoy law enforcement, the military, or paramedical work.
Taurus: If Taurus is your theme you want to make money and gain security. A job that is practical and traditionally leads to good money will appeal to you. You are willing to work long and hard if the rewards are solid. Routine does not bother you; in fact you rather like it. Working for a large company might also appeal to your sense of security. Taurus has a knack for working in the financial fields such as banking and lending. Taurus also has an artsy, creative side and could find their bliss in art or interior design.
Gemini: Gemini is quick and mentally driven. They get bored easily, so finding a mentally stimulating job that changes daily would be a good fit. Gemini does well with modern technology and gadgets and is naturally attracted to information-oriented work. They are good multi-taskers and can often work two jobs or multiple projects. Many Geminis enjoy the excitement of new people and new situations, so a job with short trips and lots of people contact might be welcome.
Cancer: A Cancer theme can manifest in a couple of different ways. On the one hand, some Cancer types thrive in work situations where nurturing people and taking care of their needs is central. This could be restaurant work, cooking, childcare, or personal assistant work. Cancer theme people sometimes enjoy doing business from the comfort of their own homes. Cancers sometimes make excellent realtors because they have a knack for finding comfortable homes for their clients. Cancers tend to be security oriented and may be attracted to more traditional careers, but many Cancers have magnetic personalities and can use their ability to influence people emotionally to rise to prominence in fields as untraditional as acting.
Leo: With a Leo theme affecting your work zone you need some recognition and some power in your chosen field. You will do best finding a career that you take personal pride in and have the ability to be honored for your hard work. You seek stability, but are also interested in a job that has a bit of drama or excitement as well. Leo types are good bosses and can also do well in fields such as entertainment. Some Leos have a natural ability to work with kids and sports. Leos do better if work is also fun.
Virgo: With a Virgo theme you are a natural when it comes to business. Organizing, troubleshooting, and multi-tasking are natural for you. Since Virgo types actual enjoy working it is extremely important that you find work that you really like. Virgos often ARE their work, so find something that really represents YOU. Virgo theme people want a career that will be helpful and productive. Just pushing papers around is not going to work. Working in a project-oriented business will work out well. Virgo wants to serve others and is sometimes drawn to the healing arts. Their drive to perfection translates well into art or work where detail, skill, and expertise is required.
Libra: With Libra as your theme you do well in careers that require people skills. You excel when it comes to one-on-one work with clients, contract negotiations, and human resource issues. Libra’s social skills can translate into many different career areas, but the public relations is often a good fit. Their desire to do good for society makes the legal profession appealing. Doing literary or artistic work is also at good outlet. Libra theme people like to see improvement resulting from their work. Doing a job where you can see a beautiful result might resonate well. Many Libras make good make-over artists and interior designers because of this.
Scorpio: When it comes to work, Scorpio theme people like to have control. This can mean working for themselves, or in a position where they have some authority. Scorpio types are intuitive and keenly observant. This can set them up well for careers where investigative work is required. Scorpios deep nature wants a career that has meaning and depth. They make good counselors, healers, and shrinks. Scorpios also have a knack for working with finances, mortgage lending, and estate planning. Many Scorpios are attracted to law enforcement and criminal psychology.
Sagittarius: Sagittarius as your theme may lead you at a career where travel, exploration, or the great outdoors is a part of it. Sagittarius is a fire sign and often needs a job where there is some excitement and competition involved. In business that are more entrepreneurial. They might feel at home in the stock market, investment fields, or other speculative ventures. Sagittarius has a philosophical side and higher education or the ministry could be a good fit. Sagittarius theme people sometimes do well in public setting where their visions and ideas can inspire people. Public speaking might work well here.
Capricorn:
With serious, goal-oriented Capricorn as your theme, climbing to the
top of your chosen profession might be more important than the career
you choose. Capricorn do well in business, especially when they get
to be the authority figure. Taking orders from others might not be
the greatest experience for you. Capricorns are both money-oriented
and achievement focused and once they find a good path they will work
long and hard to get where they want to go. Any career where responsibility
and reliability is important will work well of Capricorn. They are
often good at work that is deep, serious, and requires research. Advice
for Capricorn: start you own business and have a Libra as your PR
person.
Aquarius: An Aquarius theme means PEOPLE. They are great at working
with groups, large and small. They are also good at working with the
public in general. Any work that has a strong social component will
appeal to an Aquarius type. Aquarius also seeks freedom, so sometimes
9-5 is not the best fit. Sometimes careers that are unusual, non-traditional,
and a little offbeat will appeal the Aquarius penchant for the unique.
The other side of Aquarius is logical and scientific, so they may
go into a field where cutting-edge technology or experimentation is
involved. Mental stimulation, people contact, and progressive thinking
are Aquarian traits that could come out in the career area.
Pisces: Emotional Pisces as your career theme might be a little tricky. It is sometimes hard for Pisces idealism to find expression in the work place. Their sensitive nature does not often do well in very competitive work situations. They often find work in seclusion appealing. Pisces desire to help and heal lands many of them in the heath field, working as doctors, nurses, and hospital technicians. The creative imagination runs deep in Pisces and they can do well in arts. Working in a spiritual organization could be a good fit. Some Pisces theme people become astrologers and psychics, as they often have abilities in these areas. For Pisces theme people it will likely be more important to pick a field they believe in rather than something where making money is a primary goal.
