Believe Lady Gaga when she says she was ?Born This Way.? As an Aries, she?s a fire sign, making her naturally inclined to be high energy, very creative and fiercely independent.
Whether or not you actually accept that Lady Gaga?s career success is a result of her zodiac sign, you?ve got to admit that it?s interesting to see what astrology says about personality and career path ? because sometimes, like in Gaga?s case, it?s eerily correct.
?Many high school students take an aptitude test to guide them on a path that they would enjoy. Astrology works the same way ? it?s like a blueprint of your personality,? says Katherine Metcalf, a professional astrologer from Phoenix, Ariz. ?We all come into this world with likes and dislikes, natural talents and areas where we need to learn and grow.?
A Gemini, for example, is totally comfortable networking and socializing, Metcalf says. ?Put her in marketing or sales and she?s happy. Stick her in a cubicle with no human contact and she will wither.?
Want to know if your career is on the right track for your Zodiac sign?
We got a chance to talk to two longtime astrologists, Metcalf and Stacey Wolf ? author of ?Never Throw Rice at a Pisces? and resident astrologer for Cosmopolitan magazine ? about the career paths best suited for each sign.
According to Metcalf, the most general way to identify your natural career strengths is by your element, of which there are four in the zodiac: Fire, Earth, Air and Water, with three signs belonging to each element. Here?s what she says your element reveals about you:
Fire signs (Aries, Leo and Sagittarius): All Fire signs are natural leaders. They are high energy, very creative and independent. Like a flame ? they get inspired quickly and can motivate others. However, they may burn themselves out by having too many irons in the fire.
Earth signs (Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn): All Earth signs are practical and grounded. They like having a plan and taking steps to achieve success. They do best in the corporate world where structure is needed.
Air signs (Gemini, Libra and Aquarius): Air signs are the thinkers of the zodiac. Don?t expect them to get their hands dirty ? they prefer working on a computer or brainstorming ideas with others.
Water signs (Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces): The Water signs are the touchy, feely people of the zodiac. Water is related to our emotions and many excel at counseling. They are highly empathic and each sign has its own unique energy.
