Career Talk

You, the employee

You are the master of your fate and the captain of your soul. You are entirely self-motivated and single-minded. No one else can be so resourceful and so sure of your own potential.

If there is something you need, you pursue it with tranquility. Retaliation and defensive stinging are not quite your style. The very fact that you are able to control your deep resentment and literally erase it from your mind is proof of your awesome inner strength. You are absolutely certain you will reach your goals eventually. That is why you are so fearless. To you, everything is timing.

You accept the inevitable with grace, if the stakes are high enough. But you can also be stubborn and overbearing, getting things done where it really matters.

You often gravitate to work that involves solving mysteries and penetrating the puzzles of life, machines, facts or human beings. Lots of you are detectives, psychiatrists, scientists, surgeons, policemen, researchers, reporters and even undertakers. You must increase your knowledge each day you live. You increase talents, abilities and incomes at the same rate. You are always firmly committed to your own codes and ideas. You are true to them above all other loyalties, including love and ambition. No one can force you to alter your views and opinions but yourself.

You, the boss

Your Scorpio enthusiasm is infectious. You are indefatigable in whatever you set out to do, and pride yourself on not letting people know how deeply you want or need what you seek. One of your most powerful weapons is secrecy of purpose and intent. You have a way of attracting people who are intensely loyal. But you know your real friends from the flatterers. You also keep your enemies at a safe distance. It's difficult, if not impossible for enemies to reach you.

You feel strange around excess displays of emotion. You feel that one must keep one's cool at all costs. Unless if the emergency demands instant and violent action. Normally, however, you are the epitome of deliberate, gentle, calculated placidity.

You are a suspicious boss. In fact, one of your weaknesses is that you are frequently suspicious of innocent remarks from innocent people.

Your loyalty to your employees is lasting and all-encompassing. You expect the same gratitude in return. You are a stickler for money transactions being spelled out in detail. No problem ever invented is so tough that you can't solve it, once you tackle it. You have the will to surmount tragedies with superhuman strength. You are the essential Rock of Gibraltar people like to have around.

You, the colleague

Congratulations! You have won half the battle! You have a winning streak, and that has you in good stead. You also share your work ethic with your colleagues, and most of them listen to you! But your tendency to keep secrets could ruin things.

Careers and you

Intense and passionate, you know how to live life to the fullest, and as a result, don't suffer fools gladly. You know how to zero in on important tasks, and where the art of the deal is concerned, can go for the kill. Rarely, however, will blood be spilled. You are a straight shooter with lofty and important goals. Everyone else falls by the wayside. One of the your greatest assets is the ability to effect change, if only by sheer will. It's when this virtue spills over into impatience that the trouble begins. You love to create, solve and manage -- both the good and the bad. It's all for a reason. You also like to win. As long as you can control your aggressive, vindictive and inflexible tendencies (and the need to control in general), much can be accomplished.
