ARIES

Forget Ann, Marybeth or Julie — excitement is your middle name. Aries women are independent tough cookies, and that goes for the shyer ones too (you're not fooling anyone, by the way). Your career path has to be fun, challenging and, most importantly, interesting. The goal is to be stimulated at work every day. Traditional Aries professions include athletics, military service and acting, but even an Arian librarian will make her career an adventure, by, say, specializing in hard-to-find books or researching controversial texts. And whatever the job is, Aries will eventually call the shots — this sign is one of the leaders of the zodiac; those born under it are not big on taking orders.
