When you’re thinking about your future career options and trajectory, why not consult the traits and realities of your star sign?

After all, it might steer you in the direction of the work destiny tailor-made to suit you and your strengths.

Astrology can also help you reveal weaknesses you may have missed, allowing you to deal with what’s holding you back and open yourself up to new opportunities.

Aries, step this way for some cosmic career advice, and harness your unique zodiac energy for success.

Aries career strengths to build on

A Fire sign ruled by Mars, you are all passion, ambition, fire, and vitality. You have tons of energy and drive and you work well when you have clear and compelling goals, or rivals to beat. Competition is fuel to you and rivalries actually bring out the best in you.

Naturally warm and charming, people are drawn to you and tend to automatically like you. First impressions are that you care, you have a good sense of humour, and you’ll put 100% effort in.

Fearless and bold. The higher the aim or the tougher the challenge, the better you like it. Proving people wrong or beating an expectation turns you on.

You aren’t fazed by danger, death, challenge, or chaos. You remain calm and carry on.

Aries career flaws to mitigate

You get bored super fast. If the work isn’t intense, demanding, rewarding, varied or competitive, you can go off the boil. Monotonous, super detailed or repetitive tasks can wear you down to the point of wanting to quit. Your stamina is best revealed when you’re under attack.

You are impatient and can fly off the handle when things go wrong. The flare-ups don’t last long and you’re never malicious, maybe just loud and a bit unpredictable.

You like things your own way (although don’t we all…). As the first sign of the zodiac, you are its baby and do possess quite a naturally demanding nature. Take a moment to think about situations from other people’s perspective before making demands.

Aries as a manager

You are a natural leader, maybe one of the strongest leader types of the zodiac. You possess the flair, authenticity, passion, and ambition to inspire and motivate others. You feel confident about your decisions.

You must ensure you surround yourself with people who are good with details and routine (so they can support you), and that you keep your temper and don’t fly off the handle.

You are likely to mature into being an even better boss with time and experience, but the natural thirst and desire to do it is embedded and hardwired into you.

Aries in self-employment

Entrepreneurship attracts many Aries people because of your ambition, desire to lead, and natural self confidence. And you’re good at it!

Innovating, selling, being a self-starter – these are all natural traits.

You are definitely one of the signs who can work for themselves and make a big success of it.
