Best Careers for Your Zodiac Sign

If you aren’t sure about which job will suit your personality traits then read on to find out which are the best careers for your zodiac sign.

Whether you are a high school student or someone fresh out of college, have you ever wondered which job will be the best for you? It is indeed kind of challenging to choose a career path that you have to walk on for the rest of your life but worry not, because we are here to help you narrow down your list.

Zodiac signs have been around for more than a century. These are associated with our horoscope and making life predictions based on the movements of certain planets and stars. Since long ago, people have been looking up to these stars to make decisions. I also believe that these zodiac signs influence our personality in some way. So, let’s dive in to see which careers suit the twelve different zodiac signs:

Zodiac Signs Based on Elements

The zodiac signs have been divided into four different categories. There are four elements, namely earth, air, water and fire. Three of the signs have been placed in each category, which implies that the sign is ruled by that particular element. These elements of nature also have a say in the careers best suited for your zodiac sign.

Air: Aquarius, Gemini and Libra fall into this category. Air signs are said to be good communicators, diplomatic and witty. They are humorous and sociable. These signs are not scared to explore and experiment with new things. Just like air, people belonging to this category love freedom and find it difficult to be grounded.

Water: Cancer, Pisces and Scorpio are the three water signs. Owing to the nature of their element, they easily adapt to any kind of situation and also it is very difficult to control or manipulate them. Water signs are emotionally intelligent, intuitive, protective and reserved.

Earth: Just like the earth, the three signs Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn are said to be the most grounded people out of all the zodiac signs. They are stable and unwavering in their thoughts and opinions. They are very practical and loyal. You can always rely on them because they will never betray you.

Fire: Fire signs like Aries, Leo and Sagittarius are confident, passionate, strong and intense. They are easily noticeable because they are so warm and idealistic. They are go-getters and they do not settle for anything less. Also, they are known to be the aggressive kind, so get ready to lose in any argument with them.

Best Careers for the 12 Zodiac Signs

Aries (March 21 – April 19)

Aries is the first zodiac sign out of twelve. It is ruled by the element fire. People who are Aries are stubborn and fearless. They are very determined to be successful which makes them independent and they do not lean on others for showing them the way. They can sometimes be bossy and come across as selfish, but they know how to get things done and can make others also see their potential.

They love taking charge, which makes them natural leaders. However, Aries can be unpredictable at times. But that’s how they make original decisions and stand out from the crowd.

Based on these characteristics, the best jobs for an Aries are entrepreneurship, business/sales management, financial analyst, police officer, fashion stylist, athlete and lawyer.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

The second zodiac sign in astrology, Taurus is ruled by the planet Venus and is an earth sign. They are into everything artistic and luxurious. Taurus people are die-hard romantics, sensual and serene.  They know how to stay loyal in both personal and professional life. People belonging to this sign are said to be very patient and focused.

They pay attention to even the tiniest of details. One of their weak points might be that they like doing everything from the comfort of their home. They can be afraid to explore new environments and are unadventurous because they want to feel safe but that’s just basic human nature.

The best careers for your zodiac sign include being a fashion designer, architect, chef, model, politician, investor, artist, or banker.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

Gemini people are the most playful ones of all the signs. They are very curious and have excellent communication skills. They cannot commit to doing one thing at a time. They want to know a little bit of everything at once, which makes them very much like their element air because they hop on from one thing to another.

Geminis are very sociable and can pretty much adjust to any new environment. They are extroverted and are the life of the party. But they can be interpreted as nosy, indecisive and unreliable because of their extroversion. People may find it difficult to depend on a Gemini. Geminis are very honest and look for people who are fun to be around.

They can make good authors, linguists, journalists, actors, travel agents, public relations executives, teachers, project managers and talk show hosts.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

The water sign Cancer is the most sensitive of all zodiac signs. This sign is ruled by water which makes Cancerians very flexible and impossible to manipulate. On the contrary, they are dominating and can manipulate anyone into doing something they want them to do. They have this idea of perfection where everyone is loyal to one another and expect it to be like this.

They can figure out quickly if you are speaking the truth or not and if you are worthy of their trust. They are supportive, nurturing and good listeners. They are sometimes very sensitive and moody, so be sure not to mess with their feelings. However, this intense characteristic of Cancer may prove to be a weakness since they might feel dejected most of the time and be cautious and secretive.

Cancerians will make good social workers, therapists, human resource specialists, psychics, programmers, professional organizers, real estate agents, teachers and CEOs.

Leo (July 23 – August 22)

People who belong to this zodiac sign are very bold, confident, vibrant and charismatic and this is why they are called the star of the zodiac. This makes them natural leaders and they can go on to hold the top-level position in any organization. Also, they are very good advisors.

Leos have a big heart and they are very generous. They make sure that they give their best in everything they do. A Leo means a lion, likewise, they are clever and courageous. Since they have a high level of self-confidence, they might find it hard to deal with criticism and come across as arrogant. Also, they may hesitate to ask for help from others.

The best Leo career options are CEO, actor, comedian, director, business consultant, social media manager, professor, hairdresser and talent agent.

Virgo (August 23 – September 22)

The zodiac sign Virgo is ruled by the planet Mercury. Virgos are known for their exquisite taste and standard. They notice even the tiniest of details, so if you are wearing a dupe of a high-end brand, it won’t take them long to find it out. Even though they make classy choices, you will never find a Virgo boasting about them.

It will not be wrong to call them perfectionists and also materialistic. They can be very picky and critical about certain things. But deep down, they are kind at heart and they love helping people. Virgos are hardworking and patient, they know what they want and they work for it till they accomplish it.

Virgos will be most suited for the following jobs: editor, counselor, doctor, nurse, critic, nutritionist, veterinarian, bookkeeper, accountant, and researcher.

Libra (September 23 – October 22)

The zodiac sign Libra belongs to the air element. They make good diplomats. They believe in ensuring rightness and proper justice to all. A Libra knows how to balance all aspects of their life, which can also be seen by their symbol – scales. They are very much into fashion and love being eye candies. Libras like originality and are known for calling out people who copy them.

You can call them social butterflies and also gossip mongers. Who doesn’t love a little bit of gossip anyway? They often find it difficult to say “no” to others because they are people pleasers. Libras need to work on this aspect and also on their indecisive nature.

The careers for your zodiac sign are interior designer, event planner, judge, socialite, motivational speaker, graphic designer, model, cosmetician, bureaucrat, politician, and news anchor.
