The pursuit of a career that provides personal and professional fulfillment is a challenge faced by many. In this context, astrology emerges as a tool that, for some, can offer valuable insights in making decisions related to career choices.
Aries: ndividuals with Aries traits – or a strong presence of this sign in their birth chart – tend to be insubordinate. They need a high degree of autonomy and leadership in what they do or prefer to own their own business. Arians are ruled by Mars and can display a certain level of aggression.
They are pioneers, good leaders, and courageous. They are the ones who go out and make things happen, bringing new things to the market. Therefore, they might work in the financial market, sales, engineering, mechanics, etc. These professions are well-suited for individuals of this sign due to their association with Mars. The planet also relates to sharp instruments and iron. Thus, natives may work with tools like hammers and in mechanics, for example.
Taurus: Taurus is ruled by Venus, the planet of beauty, wealth, and personal values. It represents how one expresses affection. This Earth sign seeks stability and finds it challenging to adapt to new situations. Taurians typically prefer working under formal employment or as civil servants, seeking security. Additionally, influenced by Venus, they enjoy working in areas where they can incorporate their preferences. Hence, they might thrive in professions related to aesthetics, care, beauty, architecture, decoration, events, or culinary arts.
Gemini: Gemini is an Air sign, mutable, and ruled by Mercury. Natives are highly connected to communication, writing, speaking, learning, social interaction, and dynamism. Individuals with strong Gemini traits in their birth chart often have more than one profession and dislike routines. They may have a traditional job alongside another to supplement their income.
Furthermore, they tend to start many projects but might not finish them all due to indecision. They might work as journalists, lawyers, writers, educators, or in roles that involve teaching. Given Gemini's communication tendencies and association with the third house (related to short journeys), they might work in domestic travel, such as local tourism or as sales agents.
Cancer: Cancer is ruled by the Moon. Individuals of this sign enjoy caring for others – they may love cooking for others or work as doulas, nurses, doctors, pediatricians, obstetricians, etc. It's also a Water sign, making natives nurturing, emotional, and passionate. They may work in family businesses, as Cancer is closely linked to ancestry and home. Professions related to home, real estate, construction, or caring for women may suit them. However, Cancerians tend to bring work home or might work extensively from home. They fluctuate between being very involved in work and feeling repulsed by it.
Leo: Leo belongs to the Fire element and shines brightly! It is the natural ruler of the fifth house, associated with children, recreation, leisure, and relationships. Leos or individuals with a strong Leo presence in their birth chart seek recognition for their work. Otherwise, they might lose vitality. Moreover, they need to enjoy themselves while working. Ideal professions for Leo involve leisure, gaming, events, cinema, art, and dramaturgy. Careers that involve interacting with people might also be advantageous. When Leo is well-positioned in the birth chart, the native pours their soul into their work and can inspire others, earning admiration from them.
Virgo: Virgo is an Earth sign, ruled by Mercury, and seeks stability. It is also mutable and the natural ruler of the sixth house, associated with routine, health, nutrition, and daily work life. Virgos or individuals strongly influenced by Virgo traits tend to be extremely detail-oriented, meticulous, and enjoy feeling useful. They often have a high analytical capacity, enjoy serving and helping others, and establish routines. They might work as psychologists, therapists, nutritionists, physiotherapists, or personal trainers. Additionally, the influence of Mercury might lead Virgos to work with contracts or in notarial offices, dealing with bureaucratic matters.
Libra: Libra belongs to the Air element and, as a cardinal sign, exhibits a lot of initiative. Ruled by Venus, the planet of love, beauty, and wealth, it is the natural ruler of the seventh house linked to relationships, how one perceives others, expectations in partnerships, marriage, society, and justice. Librans or those heavily influenced by Libra traits are often very cultured individuals with a slightly more erudite view of things. They strive for balance, both energetically and aesthetically, are thoughtful, appreciate beauty, and are sociable mediators.
In this regard, Libra can work as a lawyer, judge, or prosecutor, dealing with laws in a general context. Additionally, due to Venus's influence, careers in fields with aesthetic appeal like decoration, architecture, and arts align well with Librans.
Scorpio: Scorpio is a Water sign ruled by Pluto. It is fixed and the natural ruler of the eighth house. For this sign, everything revolves around significant transformations, intensity, depth, and overcoming challenges. They are more reserved individuals with a strong investigative capacity, delving deeply into whatever they engage with. Since the eighth house is related to sexuality, shared finances, the subconscious, and mysteries, Scorpios might work in holistic therapies, magic, and astrology. However, they might also work as psychologists, therapists, or psychiatrists. Overall, they are drawn to areas where they can conquer challenges.
Sagittarius: Sagittarius belongs to the Fire element and, as such, is enthusiastic, mutable, and dynamic. It is ruled by Jupiter and the natural ruler of the ninth house linked to higher education and long-distance travel. Sagittarians enjoy learning and being in contact with different cultures. As a result, they might work as educators, priests, or religious individuals. These natives might also pursue careers in import-export and international trade. Additionally, Sagittarians dislike routine.
Capricorn: Capricorn is an Earth sign, cardinal, ruled by Saturn, and the natural ruler of the tenth house. Natives of this sign are traditional, responsible, and usually seek stability but in leadership roles. They tend to start considering their career after their first Saturn return at 28 or another milestone around 35. They are quite demanding individuals who handle pragmatic things well. Hence, they might work in roles like politics and administration. Sometimes, even as entrepreneurs but in fields requiring concentration. Capricornians implement methods and are often engineers or individuals who structure events or large corporations.
Aquarius: Aquarius is ruled by Uranus. It is a very mental sign and the natural ruler of the eleventh house. Aquarians are focused on the collective, politics, social matters, information technology, and technology in general. They dislike working fixed hours, unlike Capricorns who have set schedules. Additionally, these natives do not follow a consistent routine.
Pisces: Pisces belongs to the Water element, is mutable, and ruled by Neptune, corresponding to abstraction, creativity, and empathy. Pisceans are actors, poets, musicians, psychologists, or might work in hospitals as doctors, nurses, or in fields related to art, astrology, and the abstract. They identify with social causes or play a significant role in empathy within their profession.
