\When I was a kid, I wanted to grow up to be a princess. That seemed a legit career option to me. As I grew up, the options changed from ‘that’ to a doctor to an astronaut to a painter, and now, well- you know! What I’m getting at is that the dreams kept changing shape until they found the mould where they could settle into the perfect form that blended passion, skillsets and rewards in a soul-satiating manner. And that’s how I found my dream career. If you are stuck in a career rut or have been slogging your bum off at a job that doesn’t quite seem to tick, maybe you need to take a step back and reassess what is it that clicks with you, what your dream career would look like.
If you are stuck, calling upon the stars for some help shall never hurt. Your zodiac has clues about what your dream career could be, and what’s holding you back from finding it and keeping it! Like I said, the cosmos carved you out ‘just right’ for something:

Aries (March 21 – April 19)

You like being the leader because it comes naturally to you. You have always been adventurous in the workplace and your ardor is infectious. But the only problem with you is that you are not good at working for other people. Thus, you need to get into the mode for starting your own business. Try exploring the possibility of working for your own self with startups, being a private consultant or even a part-time job of something you like, just for your self-satisfaction and strong sense of control.
Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

On account of your sincerity, assiduity and flexibility, you have earned yourself the title of an excellent employee. The only problem with you is that you like job security, i.e. you always end up working in jobs because of the lure of the salary figure and other benefits, but you actually have no interest and passion in it. You are focused, determined and dedicated to your work, and hence, you must find one where you feel safe and praiseworthy. And also, find a job which offers you a vast amount of challenges to caress the creative in you.
Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

You must not work in an environment that makes you fret about anything every single day- the anxiety might kill you. But that doesn’t mean that the job can’t offer you challenges each day, necessitating you to pick up with the pace of the growth of your work. An advice is that you stop taking up jobs where everything is too easy for you. It sure does give you mind peace, but that won’t enhance your skills or your talents. Rather, find a job that gives your brain both peace-cum-satisfaction and a mental stimulation-cum-stir, wherein you can expand your knowledge.
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

You love caring for others and you get a peaceful stirring in your mind by creating emotional connections and bonds with people at your workplace. This means you can rock jobs involving social work, nannying, teaching, etc., where you can create an impact on people’s minds to make them sharper and better as a human. However, the job is not only restricted to this – you can even look up for work like HR, massage therapist, dieticians, physical therapist, psychologist, customer service, hospitality or even law, for that matter. You have an endless list of options to choose the right career that will give you immense satisfaction.
Leo (July 23 – Aug. 22)

You’re immensely creative and a zealous worker. You are liberal and open-handed, and you love to inspire others, all the while expanding your skills and talents. However, sometimes this deep enthusiasm might push others into thinking that you are overbearing, imperious and autocratic. You need to find yourself an environment where you can grow and expand your skills and knowledge. You need to find a place that teaches you how to share your passion, zeal and creativity without forcing it into others lest they think that you are patronizing.

Virgo (Aug. 23 – Sept. 22)
Image source: Pinterest
Your sincerity, dedication, diligence, consistency and meticulousness make you the desired employee. People want to inculcate in themselves the same qualities that you possess. But you are obsessed with being a perfectionist and your ideals quite oft lead you into rechecking yourself, creating a cloud of self-doubt, fretting about insignificant mistakes and persistently criticizing yourself. These tendencies aggravate when you work in an environment where feedback isn’t encouraged and there’s no one to grant you your performance reviews. Thus, for constant determination and focus towards your work, you need to put yourself in a position where people can see your toil and comment on it- praise as well as criticism.
Libra (Sept. 23 – Oct. 22)

The problem with you is that you are such a charming person and you are so great in interviews that you land yourself up in more than required jobs. As a result of this, you find a huge impediment in fully committing to a job and settling down with it. Another reason could be your constantly changing interests that could make you switch jobs without much difficulty. This indecisiveness must be killing you. You need a career that constantly challenges your brain and appeals to almost all your interests. You need a job that is a union of several different skill sets-PR, advertising, event planning, hotel management, etc.
Scorpio (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21)
Image source: Pinterest
You don’t like to be pampered, coddled or underestimated in you work. Feeling too safe is your problem. You hate being regarded as disposable in your line of work. You want people to know that you are not easily available. You need a career that requires a particular skill set that forces you to think out of the box, plus a career that bars all emotional charges in you, that keeps you busy enough. The minor things in your job will get really easy and foreseeable. As a result of this, you’ll be forced into interrogating yourself about what you are actually doing in life, and what you’re actually supposed to be doing.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21)
Image source: Pinterest
What’s not your cup of tea is sitting in your cell, on the same old chair and watching at the same spreadsheet all over again, daily. This is bound to kill you as you like socializing. You need to find a job where you can work with others as a team. You should have the kind of job wherein you can create things along with others, have brainstorming group sessions and where a person’s morale and self-esteem is valued and accentuated. You would love to work in a job where your personal opinions and viewpoints stand under the spotlight, highly valued, implemented and appreciated.
Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19)
Image source: Pinterest
You are stubbornly aspiring, determined and rational person. Hence, any company with senseless, disorderly, chaotic and useless protocols is just going to infuriate and vex you to the core. You need a steady, undeviating set of goals that you are asked to meet and sky-high ambitions that you want to achieve. Your job must satisfy your insatiable thirst of achieving your ambitions and fulfilling your dreams. You need to nourish your ambitious self by sticking to jobs that reward you for each new milestone on your way to your goal.
Aquarius (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18)
Image source: Pinterest
You desire the feeling of being substantive and making a difference in your work. If you feel like you’re not making any difference, you’ll be tired of your job soon. Moreover, your work hours are very odd and infrequent; to add to that, your measures of work are very distinctive and atypical. Nonetheless, you give your best performance on your own schedule. Hence, you require a job that has such flexible guidelines that allows you to apply your own quirky (in a good way) methods on your own unusual time, which authorizes you to branch out on your own and provides you the license to solve the challenge ahead or the problem in front of you in your own way.

Pisces (Feb. 19 – March 20)

You possess a remarkable and extravagant sense of imagination, but the only problem with you is that you love to meet the benchmark that you’ve set for yourself- being an idealist doesn’t always help. You need a work in a scenario where people appreciate and praise distinctive ideas and ways of approaching issues, but also a job that knows how to restrain you. You can’t choke your zeal and passion, but you also need a job that can give you an environment where you can revise and improvise over your messy and disordered ideas and viewpoints.
