Career Talk

You, the employee

You are efficient, but you need a perfect work environment to work well. If not, you retreat into a sullen silence, and offer no excuses for lousy work. The most important thing to you is harmony. Perfect justice is your ideal. This causes you to assume the role of peacemaker when quarrels arise. You are adept at clearing the air of disagreements.

It's difficult to figure just what annoys or pleases you. You hate today what you found delightful last month, and what you fancy today may not interest you tomorrow.

You are never the cause of office politics. You are the epitome of tact, clearing the air wherever needed. You bring your own personal aura of grace and beauty to everything you touch. You want to lead, and you are well qualified.

You may have a little trouble making up your mind at times. Your train of thought runs at breakneck speed when the destination is a decision, but it seldom goes off the track. After you have finally pulled into the station, you'll probably have the right answer.

You are extremely artistic and bring a calming influence to your place of work. You are a valuable employee, fixing things at the right time. Every workplace needs one of you to keep the well-oiled machinery running.

You, the boss

As a Libra boss, you are very restless and full of outgoing activity, yet you never seem to be in a hurry, a contradiction few people can manage. You have a fetish for frenzied activity. Born with a natural affinity for the element of air, you accomplish even frenzied action with so much easy grace, you almost seem to be standing still. In spite of your often shy, gentle manner, you are not an island. There's always a need to express yourself in some way, to communicate with others. You are sure to be intelligent. You are a persuasive talker and a great debater. You can sway a whole roomful of people effortlessly. You seek opinions frequently. There are several motives for your flattering interest in others' ideas. First of all, you want to be fair. You do not want to make either an unjust or unpopular decision. Another reason you feel compelled to gather all the pros and cons of an issue is because, without access to all the available facts, you feel incapable of making a wise assessment.

If you are a female Libra boss, like your male counterpart, you try to be fair. Your viewpoint on money is seldom neutral. You will either be the stingiest boss in town or the most generous.

You, the colleague

Talk, talk and more talk! You make a perfect conversationalist, and there is very little you cannot talk on. But you also make up for it by working hard. Of course, who can resist the Libra charm? You will manage to get work done, but will also put in your little bit whenever needed.

Careers and you

You are a constant seeker of truth. The sense of justice and fair play attached to you is remarkable. You enjoy the leader's role and will work hard to be worthy of the privilege. You crave the exchange of ideas, conversation and chatter, and if all this takes place in a social situation, even better. Harmony is important to you, as you enjoy beautiful surroundings. The mediator in you likes bringing people together, but you also enjoy having a partner at their side. You are motivated to keep your partnership sailing smoothly, and it's also likely to be a pretty ride, since you enjoy being in a beautiful world.
