Taurus (April 20-May 20)

It’s well-known that Taurus searches for security more so than fulfillment. But maybe that’s an unfair assumption—it’s not that a Taurus doesn’t care what they do. But as long as their job is reliable, they feel a sense of happiness. Overall, they’re overall pretty laid back, easy-to-please folks. Like the Earth we stand upon, Taurus professions need to be solid and sturdy.

But there is way, way more to Taurus than just a need for security. Maybe it’s the Cancer in me, but I feel like it isn’t uncommon for all online information regarding the zodiac to paint certain signs the exact same way. A Taurus is also ethical, dependable, and resourceful, and with their persistence and thoroughness, they tend to make excellent executives and managers—especially on a corporate level where they can slowly but surely climb the seniority ladder.

Because of their dedication to long hours and determination to succeed in everything that they do, a Taurus can make an excellent professional chef or politician. They tend to excel in financial positions given their spendthrift nature—their placement in the zodiac compliments careers like real estate brokers, financial analysts, bankers, or even venture capitalists. Plus, as an earth sign, Taurus relates very well to nature and even to the construction of man-made things, which is makes them excellent architects, botanists, and agricultural biologists.

BEST MAJORS FOR TAURUS:  Business, Culinary Arts, Architecture, Agriculture, or Political Science.

Virgo (August 23-September 22)

If you’re a Virgo, you’re most likely a perfectionist—which may be a pain in the butt for most aspects of your life, but it can come in handy for your career! For a Virgo, everything has its place—on your desk or on your desktop. You crave control over your environment down to the tee and expect clear direction and expectations from your superiors.

So, what majors would be most suited for a Virgo? Well, your precision makes you excellent in any field regarding research or data analysis. A Virgo is an ideal candidate for these positions due to their attention to detail, proficiency in logic, and analytical mind. These same traits make Virgos tip-top historical archivists. Their love of order and structure translates well into organizing manuscripts, letters, and other historical documents for modern digitized databases. Using these skills, those born under the Virgo sign have the potential to become software developers—the ones who doctor up new apps and clean up dirty, unwanted data to make your user experience more refined.

Speaking of doctors, Virgos have proven successful in the medical, naturopathic, and nutritional fields, making them prone to excel as pre-med and food science majors as well. They also have a knack for lab work where collecting data, recording findings, and creating reports is the norm. Basically, if it needs to be organized, a Virgo is the perfect candidate.

BEST MAJORS FOR VIRGO:  Accounting, Pre-Med, Food Science, History, Biology, or Computer Science.

Capricorn (December 22-January 19)

The hardworking Capricorn can exceed in any field of study, but of course, like any astrological sign, they have their strengths and weaknesses. The Capricorn, referred to many as “The Achiever,” excels in setting the standard for others. Like a Taurus, they make solid managers, supervisors, and project leaders in any field.

Degrees that bolster straightforward thinking are complimentary to the Capricorn’s character, so engineering, law, and human resource management—although they all seem like very different types of study in nature—are fit career paths to pursue for this patient, diligent sign. But engineering isn’t the only STEM-related field that is complimentary to Capricorn; the Sea Goat is apt to make significant headway in any science, technology, or medicine-related field. Their calm disposition and impeccable sense of organization allows them to tackle any stressful task or assignment that may intimidate meeker astrological signs.

BEST MAJORS FOR CAPRICORN: Business Administration, Engineering, Law, Human Resource Management, Nursing, or Information Technology.
