If you’ve never heard of a gig where you pet kittens all day, you might not ever know what kind of job you'd love. Here are the best careers for the zodiac signs.
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.
Careers to avoid: Any mundane, detail-oriented desk jobs.
