Just like all aspects of your life, your zodiac sign has an influence on the things you value in a career and, naturally, what path may be best for you.( Which IT Company would Suit you better based on your Zodiac Sign )

ARIES (MARCH 21 – APRIL 19)

Aries are natural born leaders, and as such they have an easy time translating that authority into becoming one badass boss. But heads up: You’re not the best at working for a boss, as you can become irritated by micromanagement and restriction. Don’t worry, Aries—you’ll rise to the top in no time…that is, if you make sure to finish what your start. “Possessing strong interpersonal skills is important for you, since follow-through isn’t your forte,” says Fox. “You tend to start lots of projects, but you don’t actually finish many of them on your own. That’s where a good, supportive team of friends or colleagues comes in: They can take your bold ideas and run with them.”

Ideal careers: Anything having to do with competition or physicality is right up your alley. Think: outdoor guide, personal trainer, athlete, or working for a sports organization. And, as mentioned before, a CEO or other management professional isn’t far off—you like being in control, and do best when you can offer your insight to a support team to execute.

You’re more naturally inclined to lead, however, but more by example—your hard work and dedication make you a great team player, though your stubborn nature can be a little off-putting, so you’ll need to pick your battles when it comes to projects and conflicts on the job.

Ideal careers: One of the most dependable and hardworking signs, you’ll thrive in an environment that rewards tenacity and dedication. Taurus is also (no surprise here) great with money and practical financial advice, making them ideal for banking and finance careers.

You can quickly move through anything at rapid speed, but beware: this also means you can get bored, and quickly, if not given a diverse task list. Just make sure you don’t fall into a tedious work environment, and you’ll be happy.

Ideal careers: Anything that requires relaying information and keeping up with tons of different topics is an ideal career path for Gemini, so teaching and communications are perfect for you.

CAPRICORN (DECEMBER 22 – JANUARY 19)

Capricorns are serious, pragmatic, and organized—but definitely not boring. You have the charisma and enthusiasm to lead a team. You’re not intimidated or annoyed by authority—you know that with hard work, ambition, and commitment, you too can be at the top. Which is, generally, your ultimate goal, no matter where you land. Just be careful to make time for other pursuits—Capricorns are notorious workaholics.

Ideal careers:Capricorns run a tight ship, so they’re great at being a manager or administrator for a number of career paths or companies. Your production and administrative skills are some of the best, and you work well in corporate environments with set hierarchies that let you “achieve” the next rung on the ladder. You also make great engineers, architects, and design-adjacent employees, as you’re one for details.

YES BANK Limited etc.

AQUARIUS (JANUARY 20 – FEBRUARY 18)

Aquarians are true, free spirits. But don’t mistake this for flighty workers—they’re hardworking, albeit with an out-of-the-box attitude (i.e. you will tackle a project in the middle of the night if you can’t sleep, only to want to nap in the middle of the day because you already “did the work”). You’re social but also kind of a loner, making you adept at handling team assignments as well as working on your own. You tend to come up with ideas that at first thought are “wacky” before being deemed “brilliant”, and you tend to never state the “obvious”—which make you bad in project discussions, since you’re 2 steps ahead of everyone else. Take it from Fox: “Your unusual methods can be quite appealing to those who enjoy being near your personal brand of creative genius.” Meaning, not everyone is going to “get” you.

Ideal careers:Science or tech (if you can explore new theories or applications), graphic design or photography, and even project management—if you get to explore new ways of doing something. You’re also an ideal entrepreneur or independent contractor, as you rebel against corporate culture and work best on your own schedule.

You’re kind of good at everything when it comes to working. Many careers will fit the bill for you—as long as you’re not restricted by hierarchy and too many rules.

Ideal careers:You love to travel and learn from others in every part of the world, so any job related to the travel industry is a good one, as is any job that has travel as a big part of the job—think consulting or tourism. Since you love inspiring others, you’re also great as a teacher, youth program leader, or working for a non-profit.
