Horoscope Careers: What Job Should You Have According To Your Star Sign?
Do you believe that your destiny is written in the stars? A reported 8% of Britons (and double the number of Americans) believe that your horoscope can predict the future, though some estimates place this figure as high as 26% of Americans.
Not only your destiny but a lot more can be figured out while having a look at your zodiac sign, precisely your birth chart. Your star sign can tell a lot about your love life, relationships with family and friends, and which career is best for you. Each sign is different: a job that might be perfect for a Taurus can be a disaster for a Gemini, because Geminis are more into a fast-paced environment, according to Zodiac Story’s Gemini star sign, while Tauruses prefer structure and groundedness.
Having scoured various sources and authorities, here is a guide to which career you’re best suited to, depending on your all-important star sign.
