Regardless of what field you work in, it’s likely you’ve spent a decent chunk of your adulthood contemplating your next career move. In fact, from the moment we left high school, more brain space than we’d like to admit has been dedicated to interviews, applications, emails, meetings, promotions – you name it. And with so much of our time spent hard at work, it’s only natural to wonder if you’re pursuing the right field. 

But what if the answer to your career woes was written in the stars? Luckily, that’s where we come in. Here at RUSSH, we’re star sign-devotees; frequently consulting our horoscopes for clues to a host of dilemmas, from how to style our interiors, to which internet hottie we’d be most compatible with. It makes sense, then, that our star signs could tell us a thing or two about the perfect profession for us. So without further ado, we consulted the stars to find the perfect career for each star sign. See yours below.

Capricorn

Ideal career: investment banker

Capricorns work hard and play hard, so they'd thrive in the high-paced environment of a financial institution. Persistent, ambitious, and practical, Capricorn's biggest thrill is a job well done, whether that comes in the form of a neatly-organised inbox, or nailing a deal with a potential investor.

Aquarius

Ideal career: cosmologist

Aquariuses are obsessed with the esoteric, and could spend hours getting lost in a niche theory or idea. That's why they'd thrive in a field like cosmology, where they'd be surrounded by similar free-thinkers.

Pisces

Ideal career: artist

Pisces have creativity in spades, so it makes sense that they'd be drawn to the art world. With super-charged emotions and keen intuition, mediums like painting and sculpture make the perfect platform for Pisces to let their creative juices flow.

Aries

Idea career: lawyer

If Aries can find something they're passionate about, they're practically unstoppable, which is why they make excellent lawyers. Stubborn, adept at taking charge, and not afraid of a few risks, Aries is one sign we'd definitely want on our side in a court case.

Taurus

Ideal career: landscaper

The calmest, most dependable sign of the zodiac bunch, Tauruses are happiest working independently—particularly if the task at hand involves something aesthetically pleasing. It's why this sign would make a world-class landscaper or botanist. Leave them alone with your garden and expect to return to a masterpiece of greenery.

Gemini

Ideal career: influencer

If one sign was going to find fame online, it was bound to be Gemini. Social butterflies at their core, Geminis have a charisma that's hard to ignore, making them natural-born influencers. If people are going to follow you anyway, you might as well get paid for it, we say!

Cancer

Ideal career: psychologist

It takes a certain type of person to empathise with people's problems day in, day out, and Cancers certainly fit the bill. Intuitive, protective, and fiercely loyal, they'll listen to the same problem over and over and always find a new way to sympathise.

Leo

Ideal career: actor

Some signs are drawn to the spotlight, and Leo is certainly one of them. Not only are they comfortable being the centre of attention, but their confidence, generosity and radiant charisma makes them impossible to look away from -- the perfect recipe for an actor, if you ask us.

Virgo

Ideal career: librarian

Perfectionists at their core, there's few things more satisfying to a Virgo than a perfectly functioning filing system. Where better to channel their critical, analytical brains than in the quiet halls of a library? Not only can they put their organisational skills to work, but they'll also have plenty of space to work independently.

Libra

Ideal career: HR

Librans are inherently charming, so it makes sense that they'd feel fulfilled working with people. This, coupled with their balanced approach to life, makes them perfectly primed for a role in HR, where they can put their diplomatic spirit and unbridled empathy to good use.

Scorpio

Ideal career: CEO

Passionate and ambitious, Scorpio's are usually a few steps ahead of the pack, making them natural-born leaders and perfectly primed for a high flying position like CEO. Just as importantly, they've also got charm and magnetism down pat—ideal traits for those in leadership roles.

Sagittarius

Ideal career: event planner

Sagittarians are fairly unflappable. Curious and unafraid of change, it's this cool-headedness that makes them most suited to a job like event planning, where things can go awry at a moment's notice. They're also aspirational, which means they have a big vision for things and work hard to bring it to life—exactly what you want when planning an event like a wedding.
