Air sign people usually prefer working with groups rather than in isolation, and most like to meet new people. The air signs tend to be open to adopting new technologies, and so are suited to technology-oriented professions.
While all the air signs are inclined to prefer sociable work environments, there are some key differences. Gemini usually needs to be on the move, perhaps driving or walking around, constantly shifting focus, or multitasking. Libra has the strongest aesthetic sense of the three air signs and is more likely to apply technology to the design field. Aquarians are suited to eccentric or unusual careers that provide the opportunity to invent, innovate, and try new approaches in an attempt to solve old problems.
Gemini Career Aptitudes
Most Geminis like a fast, challenging pace and lots of opportunity to interface with the public and put their considerable powers of persuasion to use. Careers offering the opportunity to move around and talk to many different people are the ones most likely to hold a Gemini’s interest. Many Geminis prefer to work two or more part-time jobs rather than one full-time job, as this may be the only way to achieve the variety they need.
Geminis tend to be good with their hands, so hands-on technical work or crafts are often good choices. Most Geminis are strong speakers and writers as well, so any career that allows them to use these skills is favoured. The majority of Geminis are also good with technology, particularly small, handheld gadgets, so careers that make use of modern technological interfaces and gadgets are often more suitable those that involve working with the natural, organic world.

Libra Career Aptitudes
Libras have a strong aesthetic sense and usually have an aptitude for various forms of design. Their visual-spatial skills are strong, so jobs that require arrangement or physical organization are favoured. Like all the air signs, Libras usually have a talent for technology and may be good with computers, though a creative streak also fits them for the arts. Diplomatic skills and idealism lead some Libras into social work, law, and/or politics.
Most Libras possess a natural grace that may suit some of them for certain athletic pursuits, such as skating, martial arts (particularly Tai chi), and yoga. Naturally charming, they also do well in hospitality industry positions where they greet and interact with the public.
Libras require a harmonious work environment. Argumentative coworkers can cause significant psychological distress, even if the Libra is not directly involved in the conflicts. Careers where the Libra has to make quick decisions are also a bad idea unless the ascendant falls in a more decisive sign, such as Aries.

Aquarius Career Aptitudes
Aquarians grow bored more quickly than most in traditional 9-5 jobs. They are also not suited to working alone. Ideally, they will have the opportunity to work within an egalitarian group rather than a hierarchical structure. The ideal Aquarian job offers a fair bit of flexibility and the opportunity to labour on behalf of a good cause.
Aquarians are suited to anything modern, progressive, or related to the fields of science and technology. Careers that offer the chance to debate issues are also a good choice, as most Aquarians love to argue – not in a combative way, but for the intellectual stimulation.
Aquarians have trouble with authority and restriction, which makes traditional work settings quite difficult for them, particularly if they get stuck with draconian bosses. They are also more inclined to choose interesting careers than well-paid ones. Atypical, intellectually stimulating careers are best for this sign, though some are drawn to certain athletic pursuits as well. Although Aquarians favour group work for most things, in athletics, they are more likely to prefer individual sports over team sports, and many have a particular affinity for snow and ice sports.
Aquarius careers include:
- Anthropologist
- Architect
- Astronaut
- Astronomer
- Athlete (skiing, hockey, snowboarding, luge, tennis, other individual sports)
- Charity or humanitarian worker
- Comic book writer
- Computer games developer
- Computer programmer
- Engineer
- Inventor
- Lawyer
- Peace Corps worker
- Pilot
- Politician
- Professor
- Psychologist
- Reformer (law or politics)/activist
- Science fiction writer
- Scientist (especially physics)
- Social worker
- Sociologist
Other Factors in Astrological Personality
The sun sign is only one aspect of an astrological profile. Many other factors play a role, including rising and moon signs. For example, a person with the sun in Aquarius and Capricorn rising may be better able to manage in the 9-5 business world than a typical Aquarius.
