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?
