What the Stars Say About Your Work

I was recently talking to a friend about an article we had posted about understanding your boss based on astrology. I am a Leo and I feel the article paints my leadership skills in a nice light.

 

While I would not say I subscribe to astrology, my sign's basic characteristics fit me to a T. So I decided to do a little more research on the stars and my career. Here's what I found:

 

·         According to "Best Careers by Astrology Sign," the best careers for me would be as a performer, interior decorator or tour guide. Does it count that I used to write about interior design?

 

·         According to ForeverHoroscope.com, this year I should be focused on government work, politics or religion. This reminds me of the interest inventory I took in high school that told me to be a priest. Hmm.

 

·         Horoscope.com gave me an actual career horoscope of the week, and Saturn is in retrograde in my communications zone -- I don't think that's good.

 

So what do you think about astrology and your career? Some clean fun? Total bunk? A guide to plan your career by?

 

And if you want to do some work-related soul searching, our career assessment articles can help.

Well, of course you can't really plan your career by your star sign, but I think it is fun to read your "careerscope" to see what others are thinking! Most horoscopes are actually quite positive and can be a nice source of encouragement.

There are a lot of people who do take horoscopes seriously and actually plan their days around them. So, taking a quick look will simply add another arrow to your job hunting quiver!

Thanks,
