Best Careers For Sagittarius

Your idea of a perfect career would be to get paid to journey to exotic locales and chronicle your experiences, or to share your pearls of wisdom (and witticisms) with a large and adoring audience. And though many Sagittarians do pop up in the fields of travel writing, motivational speaking and stand-up comedy, most of you have to find other ways to get on out there into the world and make your presence known.

You were born under Jupiter — the planet of long distances and faraway places — so it makes perfect sense that you would be drawn to the travel industry. Putting together travel packages for clients is your idea of bliss. You would also be just as happy working in the airline industry or on cruise ships or even as a travel guide. You love how excited people get when they see new things. It brings the whole experience back to you again.

Being drawn to other cultures could lead you to find employment in a foreign land, and you would happily pursue any opportunities to live abroad. This might come through the military or through missionary work. It could also come through teaching.

Jupiter is the planet of BIG ideas, so higher education and publishing are going to be very attractive to you. You believe that there’s a higher purpose to be served by what we do, and helping people to connect to their purpose, whether it’s through teaching, preaching or writing a book, is something you take very seriously. Jupiter is also the planet of justice, which is why so many Sagittarians are drawn to careers in the courts — whether it’s as a bailiff or attorney, or sitting on the bench itself. Everything you do involves wisdom, morality and finally humor. Your love of the world — and all the things in it — is infectious.

Best work habit: You always have new ideas.

Worst work habit: You roll your eyes when asked to do something you don’t want to do.
