Would Your Sun Sign Let You Move for a Job?
Would you be willing to uproot yourself and accept a job elsewhere that would improve your financial situation? Learn what your Sun sign's instinctual reaction might be!



Naturally, since adventure runs in their veins, Aries will jump on the opportunity. They possess plenty of courage and generally aren't weighed down by sentimental attachments. Indeed, if the job is a step up in status and compensation, they'll glow with anticipation.

Taurus will resist the idea of moving for work, for their roots run deep and they abhor major change. Adjusting to both a new home and new job will seem a bit too much for them to face at once. That said, they're security-conscious and indulgent, so they could eventually be persuaded....

Gemini will embrace the prospect because they're wanderers at heart -- these folks tend to thrive on change. The notion of living in the same house and working the same job for the rest of their days makes them claustrophobic.



Cancer will be caught in a dilemma.

Today, love planet Venus joins the unpredictable energy of Uranus in assertive Aries -- so expect your instinct for independence to prevail and your rebel-yell impulses to dominate!

The best way to leverage this strong cosmic influence is to reconnect with your most authentic self.

Your Sun Sign and Your Mythological Self
Each Sun sign has a myth illustrated by its ruling planet. By understanding your own myth and learning how to live by its valuable principles, you'll lead a more fulfilling life and truly become yourself in the process.

Aries
Your symbol is the head-butting Ram; your myth is Mars, the god of war. But don't feel as if you have to live out your myth aggressively. Instead, simply understand that middle-of-the-road is often your best approach. Your strength lies in avoiding distractions and maintaining focus on your goal.

Taurus
Your symbol is the Bull and your myth is earthy Venus. Both connect you to nature, the body, and the world of the five senses. Your essential talent is being firmly rooted, alive to the real world and understanding the pleasures it brings. But you also realize that not everything can go on forever.

Gemini
Your symbol is the Twins and your ruler is airy Mercury. In mythology, one twin is divine and the other is human, so your inner quest is to find your missing

How Your Sun Sign Influences Your Spending Habits
Given the unique nature of each Sun sign, certain individuals are better suited to saving money, while others thrive on spending a buck or two. Where do you fit in on the saving-spending spectrum?

Aries, Sagittarius
The impulsive nature of these Fire signs indicates that spending is a top priority for them. If Aries and Sagittarius can channel this predilection toward investments -- something that comes with the sort of risk their competitive Fire energy loves -- they'll combine that urge to splurge with the potential of stashing money away for the future. Credit cards and sales are no friend of theirs, as they simply facilitate these signs' buy-now-pay-later mentality.

Capricorn, Virgo, Cancer, Scorpio
These four signs are typically practical with money. Virgo and Capricorn each possess a security-conscious Earth influence -- a great help when trying to plan in the long-term. Scorpio likes to stay in control and doesn't spend unnecessarily, while Cancer is cautious and thrifty.

Does His Sign Make Him House-Husband Material?
Would your partner settle for a life of domesticity while you're out being the breadwinner? Certain signs can wholeheartedly embrace the switch in traditional roles, while others won't warm to playing house-husband!

Being an adventurer, Aries isn't so well-suited to washing dishes and cleaning house. If forced into a stay-at-home life, he'll want to spend the day playing video games or watching sports on TV.

Taurus will be happy to stay home ... but could become lazy when it comes to taking care of dull chores. That said, he'll be eager to gather recipes and make delightful meals for the family since he loves food!

Gemini will find domestic life difficult since he enjoys being around people so much. He'll run up the phone bill, spend hours texting and e-mailing -- and might even forget to do the shopping!

Cancer will put on an apron with delight, and being quite maternal, he won't mind playing mom to the kids. He can perhaps even cook and clean better than you!
