Fire Signs: Aries, Leo Sagittarius

Energetic, impatient and independent Fire signs tend to crave adventure – and love a challenge.

Aries are enthusiastic, outspoken and natural-born leaders. They prefer jobs that involve a certain amount of risk or challenge, such as firefighting, law enforcement, competitive sports or the military. Any career that recognizes initiative, ambition and the ability to overcome many obstacles is ideal for them.

Leos love being in the limelight, and being in charge. They’re often drawn to careers that will bring them the respect and appreciation they desire. Of course, acting and any career in the entertainment field is often a perfect fit. But any profession that allows them to be the center of attention or deal with the “big picture” is a natural choice for them.

Sagittarians love to be engaged with life. They enjoy talking, writing, teaching and traveling. They’re well-suited to careers in education, publishing, law and the travel industry. Always energetic, Sagittarians prefer being outdoors – and can’t stand any sort of job that keeps them stuck behind a desk.

Earth Signs: Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn

These dedicated workers seek stable careers that will provide them with a sense of security and stability.

Taureans are extremely reliable and dependable. They usually appreciate solid, practical careers like engineering or construction. Banking, accounting and financial management also allows them to put their pragmatic skills to work. Some Taureans tend to be very good with their hands, and can even excel in creative or artistic jobs.

Virgos are great perfectionists and do well in jobs that require terrific attention to detail. They’re natural critics, editors, technical writers, researchers, statisticians, technicians and craftsmen of any kind. They also have a natural affinity for careers in the field of healthcare.

Capricorns tend to be focused and responsible. They often make good executives, politicians, bankers or financial managers. They’re usually hard workers who are willing to do whatever it takes to slowly rise up through the ranks – until they achieve a position of power and authority. Any career that rewards hard work and perseverance is a good fit.

Libras usually know how to make just about anything look better. Because of this, they often do very well in the beauty or fashion industry – as designers, cosmetologists, or hair and make-up artists. Their keen eye for beauty and harmony can also make them well suited to careers in photography or interior design.

Aquarians can be a little eccentric, and they are often drawn to careers that are a bit off the beaten path. They also love anything modern and forward-thinking. They are often interested in careers that involve computers, video games and other high-tech endeavors or electronic gadgets.

Cancers are drawn to careers that allow them to take care of other people’s needs, and make them feel more comfortable or secure. That could mean working in a restaurant, hotel, or any other area within the food or hospitality industries. Cancers can be very nurturing, and are a natural fit for child-care jobs.

Scorpios enjoy positions of power, but often prefer working behind the scenes. They’re interested in any career that involves getting to the bottom of things, which makes them perfect for any kind of research or detective work. They also do well in insurance, financial management and business or tax law.

Pisces are very sensitive and compassionate and usually prefer work that allows them to help others in some way. Highly spiritual, they always need to feel that there’s a greater sense of purpose to their work. They can also be very creative. Careers in art or music may allow a great avenue of expression.
