ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: "I am an Aquarius born on Jan. 29, 1964. I was laid off by an angry boss who selected me because I was the top earner in the office. What new career options are out there for me, and what kind of training do you recommend?"
You are a people person, so whatever field you choose should be one where you have to deal with the public. Secondly, you hate being pigeonholed into one career role, therefore, working in a multidimensional field would allow you to keep learning and growing. Thirdly, darling Aquarians need to get smart about office politics. At your next job, before joining any office clique, scope out the office hierarchy. Play the game – get to know the top woman or man before your befriending the underlings. Does this sound callous? It is, but you need to toughen up your hide to progress in the business world. As for what field you should look into, finance, banking, insurance and the legal field would suit your personality. Doing something in retail that involves the arts, especially music, would also be equally fulfilling. As for training at a new job, follow your whims. If you enjoy what you’re learning, you’ll be more likely to succeed. New jobs may open up this week and all throughout June. Good luck.
CELEBRITY PROFILES: Hit country music legend Willie Nelson is a prime example of Taurus musicianship: They are mellow, very heartfelt and have excellent rhythm. Since all Taurus natives are ruled by Venus, this sign is aware of their heart’s message, even when they would rather do what their head suggests. Nelson could have a huge pop song this year with an unlikely writing partner such as Bob Thomas from Matchbox Twenty.
