Scorpio’s brilliant strategy…
Just like in love, Scorpio holds the reputation of being cold and calculating when it comes to business or money matters mainly because of its secretly slow and successful strategy.
Like the Scorpion animal, Scorpio individuals are outstanding tacticians that will sneak in, very quietly observe, gather information, wait for the perfect moment, and then attack!
Why is this brilliant quality often seen as somehow evil or manipulative? Well, dear Scorpio, being the strongest and the winner doesn´t come easily. And for you, losing your clandestine strategy would be like losing the best weapon the stars brought you.
Scorpio´s most successful side…
You are often seen as one of the most competitive signs out there, but unlike Aries or Leo, you are an individual who enjoys self-competition more than competing against others. In every aspect of your life, you enjoy attaining your own goals and the feeling of success that comes with doing something better than last time.
Therefore, even if you´re actually competing against other, you might do better by forgetting about them and trying your best to outdo yourself. Like a real Scorpio winner once said, “there are two kinds of people, those who do the work and those who take the credit…try to be in the first group; there is less competition there.”
– Indira Gandhi
Scorpio´s impulsive shopping habits…
Scorpio is the sign that rules money. These individuals are supposed to be brilliant at handling it. For you, money is a must because it gets you everything you want from the outside world. But, if this tendency has been getting you in debt or overextending your credit, this means there´s an intruder in your wallet. You can blame Taurus!
The Venus-ruled sign is your opposite in the astral chart—the sign of beauty and luxury. It gives you an impulse for buying and spending your money on non-essential luxurious items. So next time you´re staring at that lavishly expensive purse or briefcase, think twice about if you really want it, or if it´s just the goddess Venus luring you into buying it…
Keeping distracted Sagittarius focused…
Pressure doesn’t faze Sag. You have no trouble seeing a task to completion, especially if the fate of the universe hangs in the balance. Or <i>only</i> if the fate of the universe hangs in the balance. Without a hard deadline, you get sidetracked. Once a project grows too routine, you lose interest. Rather than procrastinate, try some focusing techniques.
Track big projects and actions on a calendar.
Tackle the hardest tasks first—yes, before e-mail!
Look at and deal with each e-mail once.
Spend 20 minutes on each task (set a timer).
Forget perfect.
Take breaks.
Want a new job? This is how you´ll get it…
You love to learn. You’re interested in everything, and you love sharing what you know. If you’re looking to advance in your career, seeking a new career, or wanting to change careers, education can be your path to success. Perhaps you need to improve or even learn new skills. Hard as it may be for you to focus on just one area, your career might depend on it. Assess your skills and see which ones you can develop further. Build a skills resume (what you can, not what your responsibilities were). It isn’t bragging—it’s smart self-promotion!
Avoid your cruel side in the office…
You dislike boundaries in your work, and you may lack them in conversation, too. You aren’t afraid to speak your mind. You feel things would run a lot more efficiently if everyone did! You tell the straight scoop to boss and co-worker alike. No one wonders where they stand with you because you tell them – and then wonder why they’re miffed! On the upside, you don’t know how to lie. On the downside, you don’t know how to lie, or at least sweeten the truth in a diplomatic candy coating. Candid opinions are valuable. Just take care that truth-telling doesn’t sound to co-workers like meanness.
Best work environment for Sagittarius…
You’re a contradiction. You hate being hemmed in, so you may feel confined in an office. But you’re easily distracted, so you may not do your best work in an open-plan workspace. Clutter’s no prob, but interruptions are. Think about the work environment before you sign on. You’d probably be happiest roaming freely, connected wirelessly by your devices. If that isn’t possible, upgrade your office. Studies show that improved ergonomics increase productivity by nearly 20 percent. Your sign rules the hips, thighs, and leg circulation, all affected by badly designed chairs. Look for an adjustable chair with lumbar support and slightly forward sloping seat.
Not your own boss yet? You need to get busy Sagittarius!
The first entrepreneur was probably a Sagittarius. The very word means “adventurer”! You feel stifled by bureaucracy and rigidly structured organizations. You want complete freedom to call the shots. You get bored easily, so you need variety to keep things interesting. Where others see obstacles, you see limitless possibilities. You’re a future-oriented, intuitive thinker with a big, almost grandiose, vision. You have the drive, passion, flexibility, and optimism. You’re results-oriented and self-confident. Boom-and-bust situations don’t throw you. Can you assemble a team, delegate tasks, and manage your time? Congrats—you’re an entrepreneur!
Finding Sagittarius´ dream job…
Mark Twain noted that successful people, “do all year what they would otherwise do on their summer vacation.” That pretty much describes your attitude toward work! Slogging through boring tasks day after day is a non-starter. Tending to minutiae? Nuh-uh. Find a career you love by taking a RIASEC test. You’ll discover if you’re Realistic, Investigative, Artistic, Social, Enterprising, Conventional, or some combination. (You can probably ignore that last category!) Then match a career to your code. Investigative ones involve academics or research. Social ones require good people skills. People in Enterprising careers make things happen. Which are you?
Techniques to help you in front of the mirror…
You’re probably most comfortable with a very natural look, and that’s actually a good thing! The right cosmetics simply enhance your face. Never mask it or go for a look that takes more than 10 minutes. After all, you have important things to do! But remember, looking good will make you feel more confident, so take a little time and try one of these techniques.
Smokey eyes. You need not go extreme but smudging the upper and lower lash lines with black, charcoal, or a deep bronze will look amazing. Add a couple coats of mascara and your eyes will look sexy.
A red lip. Sure, it’s bold. You can pull it off! Just find the right shade for your skin tone.
Go light on the blush or bronzer. Just use it to liven up and highlight areas that the sun hits.
Curl your lashes. It will instantly make you appear more awake, even if you’ve been working long hours or having a bout of insomnia.
Play around with eye shadow. Just a darker color in the crease and a light color on the lid, blended up into the crease to make it seamless, is all you need. Browns, grays, and smoky purples should work best.
