Astrology can provide us with insights into the general aptitudes that each energy pattern possesses and how this translates into career choices. It's been my experience that you can find almost any sign in almost any profession; remember, the stars show us tendencies not certainties. Granted, I've never met a Pisces that was an astronaut, but I've have to say this has more to do with the fact that I've never met an astronaut than it does with the Piscean potential for this trade. Frankly, most Fish don't bother with the triviality of a space shuttle to get them blazing through the galaxies; all they need is their vivid imagination, penchant for fantasy and illusion and they're happily lost in space. So, astrology's role in our professional life focuses more on how the signs tend to operate in their chosen work environments and what behaviors and values they tend to demonstrate.

for any astrology questions or comments.
Aries: Working side by side with Aries will rarely be dull and you'll almost always find them working side by side with someone for working alone would be their idea of hell - Aries would wither away from contact starvation. Aries is energetic, dynamic, forthright and generally playful without sacrificing professionalism (a personal favorite of mine). Most Rams make excellent leaders, however, I've known plenty of Arians content to be accountants, bookkeepers, secretaries, film editors, race car mechanics, bankers and route drivers. Yes, they are the most forceful individuals in the office and imposter their leaders (translated: they act like they're the boss), but that's because they enjoy the spotlight not because they thrive on the responsibility. And just to keep astrology credible, I've known a few business owners who are fearless leaders in their own right.
Taurus: Our Venusian ruled Bulls like to graze their way through the day, but are not without their capacity for hard work; they simply dig in when they're good and ready and woe to those who try to impose their pace on a Bull. Can you say, Toro, Toro? You can coax a bull to water (if you're desperate for human interaction and are an idiot), but you'll get more than the horns if you think you can make him drink. Taurus appreciates policy and procedure and demands that these guidelines are fully explained, constantly available and strictly enforced. I know Taureans who are emergency dispatch operators, bankers, teachers, business owners and cattle ranchers. Taurus is content to work alone or in a group, probably preferring the former over the latter; Venus thrives on appreciation and it's hard to feel appreciated by four inanimate walls. Most Taureans live to work, consider it a weakness to take a day off and will exert twice the effort as those around them and expect the same. They aren't guilty of double standards just really high ones.
Gemini: The individual in the office who's on the phone, adding a column of numbers on the calculator, searching for something on a computer file and sorting the mail all at the same time is Gemini. Multi-tasking is for light-weights to Gemini...macro-tasking is more their speed. The intention is to keep the flow of activity moving along at a high rate of speed and accuracy of these performed tasks is not always of paramount importance to the Twin. I don't know this for a fact, but telemarketing is probably ruled by Gemini - mass communication with minimal focus on purpose. Gemini is a messenger, not a fact finder.
Cancer: Moon children can show up in banks, insurance agencies, schools and frequently in positions requiring public speaking (Cancer rules mass consciousness). And while they may show up calmly, quietly and unassumingly don't expect them to stay that way. Cancer can surprise you with the volume of their otherwise soothing voice. Cancer values security and is unlikely to change jobs a lot unless there are other factors involved. The dominant quality to Cancer is often very subtle or simply slow to surface, but once it does it is unmistakable. Most Cancers avoid confrontation (crabs move sideways) so tend to avoid supervisory capacities and become quite motherly in positions of authority...okay, in any position. Cancer values family and will place this above any career obligations if push comes to shove. Cancer lives to nurture (in excess, smother).
Leo: Leos are hard workers and if you want your day to run smoothly do not overlook this fact or forget to pass along your observations. Fur will fly! These big cats can be found doing anything (including lounging in a sunny spot in the lunchroom) from production line workers, bar owners, accountants to supervisors or actors. Hollywood and Broadway are filled with late July/August birth day celebrants. There are tasks that Leo considers beneath him so be prepared to accept this fact because coercing him will work in the short term, but eventually you'll tire of listening to the constant moaning, roaring and complaining. It's easier to do it yourself and Leo in this instance is not too proud to allow it.
Virgo: Now here's the sign you can plant in a quiet, secluded corner office and never worry if the job is getting done or if Virgo can work independently. Virgo can do both quite efficiently. Don't get me wrong, this sign enjoys the social aspects of living, but there's no minimum daily requirement like there is with other energy patterns. Plenty of hermits are born under this sign. The area where Virgo gets side tracked is in over-analyzing. Virgo will take something apart and refrain from putting it back together because the fun is in examining the parts. Whatever works for you, Virgo. Personally, I don't always bother with how something works; I'm happy that it does so I can move on. Not so with Virgo. They are happiest when they have some minute, microscopic, relevant or irrelevant (that part's irrelevant) detail to mule over for hours at a stretch. This comes in handy in the research department so thank God for their tenacity. Virgo can be found anywhere and just because the energy is detail oriented don't be surprised at the staggering maze of papers on this sign's desk. It's one of Virgo's not-so-rare dichotomies.
Until next week, Your Will Is Your Life.
