Geminis can struggle in the work force if they do this…
Your work life is a never-ending quest for stimulation. Repetition is not your style. If you’re pondering careers, look to a field that plays to your strengths. How about reviewing the latest technologies? It lets you combine some of your strengths (writing and communicating) with one of your passions (the latest technological toys or gadgets) and show off your creativity too boot!
You learn quickly, so a job selling continually updated and interesting products would also put you in contact with lots of different people every day—a bonus.
For work satisfaction, look for jobs in these fields…
“Variety” is your middle name. You want a constant stream of new sights, sounds, ideas, and people—every day, if possible. Few other signs can match your energy and enthusiasm.
Your ideal job could lie in travel and tourism. As a tour guide you’d be constantly exploring places, meeting people, and talking up a storm. As a museum guide you could show off that quick wit, humor, and arsenal of fun facts to a whole new audience every hour.
Solving problems on the fly? You were born for it. Who wouldn’t want to explore new territory with you?
Geminis are true pros in this important work realm…
The gift of gab was bestowed upon you at birth. Keep an audience enthralled? No prob. You have encyclopedic knowledge at the tip of your tongue and a desire to share it without even being asked.
Some jobs were tailor-made for certain signs, and yours could include teacher, TV reporter, lawyer, or actor. You could talk all day long and get paid for it! You know you can tell a good story to engage listeners, and you have an elephant’s memory for all those facts or theatrical lines. Think about it!
How to bring your artistic side out for awesome pay-offs…
Airy Gemini is well suited to work that makes ample use of and stimulates your quick mind. Repetitive data entry? No, thank you. Anything that involves creative writing, searching for facts, sales, problem solving, thinking up new ideas or products, or constant variety will float your boat.
You might even consider assembling a living from an online service like TaskRabbit.com, where every day brings a new adventure, a new client, and a new challenge. You’ll get to use your laptop, cell phone, GPS, apps, and who knows what else, so you’ll be in Gemini heaven!
Who calls the shots in a Cancer’s life?
Your willingness to take control makes you a natural manager. You aren’t afraid to accept responsibility for a project or team and do what needs to be done. You’re organized and dependable, but your cardinal nature will make it hard for anyone to push you into doing something you don’t want to do. And you can be as stubborn as a bull if someone tries to thwart your plans. You always appear calm and strong even if you’re a quivering ball of insecurity on the inside. Just take care not to let your fluctuating emotions rule your decision making.
Money can’t buy happiness, or this either…
Cancer seeks security the way crabs seek rocky hidey-holes, and money is one tangible manifestation of security for you. You acquire it, accumulate it, and once you have it, hold onto it tenaciously (except when it comes to loved ones).
You worry about money, too, and no amount ever seems to be enough to make you feel entirely safe from the dangers lurking out there. You want to be paid what you know you’re worth and will move on to another job if necessary. Take care that your prudence with money doesn’t turn into miserliness.
Are your maternal instincts putting people off?
You’re well suited to be the boss, so long as you don’t become too bossy. You’re very competent, and you feel you know the best way to do things. Hence, you want people to do exactly what you say. But that doesn’t always go over so well.
To succeed with co-workers, try to leave the parental behavior at home. Stifle any tendency to be controlling and put some of that stellar nurturing behavior to work instead. Delegate tasks and trust that the work will be done right. You can keep a watchful eye on everyone, so they’re focused on the end goal without lapsing into micromanagement!
Cancers are natural award-winners—enjoy it!
Everyone knows that Cancer is a sensitive sign, sometimes overly so. You might seem mild mannered and unassuming to others, but you will defend loved ones and comrades to the bitter end.
It might surprise some people to know that you often feel vulnerable and inadequate, what with all your outward confidence. It’s probably hard for you to accept well-deserved praise or recognition, since inside you feel a bit like a fraud. Take a lesson from Leo and learn to bask in the spotlight. Be gracious about compliments and awards, you deserve them!
One of your best traits can get you ahead at work…
Some experts rank emotional intelligence as one of the most important qualities in a career—as important as intellectual ability or technical skill. EI encompasses initiative, empathy, and persuasiveness. It can help make the difference between a leader and a loser.
And who has EI by the truckload? Cancers! You’re intuitive and respectful. You’re sure of what you want and will stop at nothing to get it. You can’t learn EI from books, it develops by interacting with people, something Cancer does well. Put your emotional intelligence to work in order to excel in the workplace.
Your top picks for a happy, profitable work life…
You keep a welcoming, comfy house, but that doesn’t mean you want to stay there 24/7. You’re an enterprising cardinal sign, and as such, you like to be out and doing things in the world.
You want to make people feel welcome and well fed, so restaurants or hotels could be right up your alley. History fascinates you, so museums or antiques appraising are other options.
As emotionally understanding and empathetic as you are, Cancers make great doctors, psychologists, therapists, and counselors. Pet care, childcare, elder care, or teaching might offer you a fulfilling career as well.
