Capricorn Employee Profile
December 22-January 19
A Capricorn employee with too much to do is a happy worker. They need plenty of projects
and responsibility. There is no sadder sight than a Capricorn worker without a sense of
responsibility. They need to be needed. They are covertly ambitious - usually not flashy
or obvious about it, but you will usually know that they are serious and determined about
advancing themselves. They are completely scrupulous, so much so that they can be
self-disparaging. But they are no pushovers. They can wear down even the toughest customers.
Their persistence is incredible. Once they set their sights on a goal, they work away at
it until the bitter end, whether the goal be that hard sell or the new hardware release.
Capricorns don't work for free, however. They expect to be paid handsomely and be given
more and more responsibility. They need to come out ahead of the pack in the end, and
they see the work environment as their primary vehicle. They won't go in for the typical
office gossip and politics, though. They want to get down to business at work and see it
as no place for fooling around.
With a strong sense of duty and respect towards their
superiors, it is rare they will join in on boss-bashing or knocking the system. Unless they
see it as a way they will get out ahead in the organization. They can get frustrated,
however, with blue sky management schemes that lack common sense, and they will interject
their dry sense of humor in the most critical ways. If they want change, they will be
unyielding. If all their effort leads to naught the result will be deep moods of darkness
and depression with a sense of hopelessness. Keep your Capricorn employee happy by paying
them fairly and giving them plenty of hard work. Arrange for a path of advancement within
your organization for them. If you don't, you might find them looking for other
opportunities.
Aquarius Employee Profile
January 20-February 18
The Aquarius employee can't tolerate unfairness in the office. Hair brained schemes will
get the positive attention they deserve if an Aquarian has anything to do with it. They'll
try to help everyone see the good side of a bad situation if it's the last thing that
they do. They are so smart-they can't help but hold management in disdain if they feel that
they are being unfair and unintelligent. It isn't that they are overly ambitious and think
they could be doing a better job-just that they think people in power should know better.
Most Aquarius workers are still looking for themselves and will want to try their hand at
a variety of jobs in the workplace.
Whatever they are doing, they will do conscientiously.
They usually have strict personal codes that include a strong work ethic. Their bright,
off-beat intelligence, and trustworthiness will typically gain them many friends-in and
out of work. Beneath that sometimes odd-ball behavior is solid, concrete thinking and
sensitivity to co-workers. Keep your smart Aquarius co-worker happy by giving them plenty
of opportunity to learn new skills. Raises are less important to them. No amount of money
will make it worth their while to stay in a stagnant position. Don't let them get too bored
or they will simply find another job as easily as they found this one-their genius is
easy to spot.
