There are devoted astrology fans and casual horoscope skimmers alike in every industry, tech included. It's fun to see what the stars have in store for you on any given day, but what can they show you about your career? Step away from the dashboards and emails for a moment and discover what the best tech job for you is based on your zodiac sign.
Okay, so it's unlikely that you'll make your next career move based on your zodiac sign (or maybe you are, that would be so Pisces of you), but the common characteristics of your zodiac sign can indicate if you’re more suited for certain roles over others. If nothing else, we hope you enjoy reflecting on your own strengths and seeing which tech jobs they’re suited for.

Aries: Partnerships manager
An energetic sign that loves to lead and will happily dig into new partnerships projects with enthusiasm, Aries are well-suited to the high-level strategic planning, team leading, and partner relationship management that comes with a partnerships manager role. They’re direct, driven, and quick decision makers and will find synthesizing information and aligning the goals of multiple partner programs a satisfying task.

Successfully writing and testing code is sure to bring this sign satisfaction, which drives them more than most. Their stubborn nature means they will work hard to find and solve user obstacles (and likely won’t stop looking for solutions until they do!).

The high-level planning and development of software systems is just the thing to keep those of this sharp sign stimulated. Gemini also prefer to work in collaborative environments as they thrive in social settings, bringing energy and ideas to the table. All of these traits make them well suited to software engineering.

Friendly and diplomatic Libras make great people managers as they have superior communication skills and a strong sense of justice that leads them to make fair and rational decisions. Libras are great problem solvers and find satisfaction in checking to-dos off their list, so they’re well-equipped to handle a large number of duties and responsibilities.

Hardworking Scorpios will appreciate a role that keeps them busy. Scorpios are considered one of the most intelligent signs and can pick up the technical skills and database languages needed to perform data backups and security and access checks of the database with ease. Scorpios can be blunt and often prefer working independently over collaboratively, so a job that tends to have more focused independent work is the perfect fit.
Sagittarius: Data scientist
A data scientist extracts value out of large amounts of data to create innovative solutions that will help their company scale. In short, they need to be able to come up with creative, big-picture solutions. Enter the curious Sagittarius, with their creative mind and sharp business mentality. It also helps that data scientist roles are usually among the highest-paid in the IT field, making it a top choice for the money-minded Sagittarius.
Capricorn: Cybersecurity analyst
Capricorns are the responsible sort who won’t stop their efforts until a job is done well. They thrive on structure and discipline and have a strong moral compass. Hence, cybersecurity analyst is the perfect role for this serious sign. Their practicality and organization skills bode well for the role that requires them to constantly analyze trends and uncover patterns and threats, implement improvements, and predict future requirements.

Pisces are often led by intuition and emotion, making them best matched in roles that put their creative and artistic abilities to good use. They are defined by their out-of-the-box imaginations and typically work best with a certain degree of freedom, so having ownership of their projects will make Pisces happy. Little brings as much professional pleasure to Pisces than satisfying others and getting recognition for their work, so a happy client or stakeholder means a happy Pisces!
