Ragged Riches

True story: I’m a friend of a lot of fire signs, especially Leos. Leos are a fire sign that can often be felt when they are in a room. They are proud, often known for their excellent hair, stylish demeanor, and desire for recognition.

As part of my spiritual side of my finance beliefs, I like to talk about how the zodiac can help push us into a potentially good career. While any star sign can end up being great at any job, you often get more luck when you can work with your star signs.

So, let’s jump in already and have a little entertainment. Let’s see what the stars say for everyone’s favorite Big Cat of the Zodiac!

Are you a Leo?

People with a Leo rising sign are born between July 23 and August 22 in any year. Lions, as they’re sometimes called, are known for loving the spotlight…often to the point of hogging it from other signs. This is often why they tend to work best alone, rather than as part of a team.

A Leo is often recognized by their fashion-forward senses, their natural charisma, their good looks (including a focus on hair), as well as their confidence. Sometimes, they can get arrogant and prone to drama, but they generally mean well.

The key to unlocking a Leo’s potential is getting them to be passionate about what they’re doing. If you’re a Leo, you need that passion to focus on your work. Otherwise, it’s going to be crystal-clear that you’re not into what you’re doing.

When they cultivate their good traits, Leos become natural leaders with many devoted followers. So, don’t be surprised if the best jobs for Leos tend to include leading roles. Just saying.

What are the best jobs for Leos, anyway?

Great question. I did the digging to find top career options for Leo signs…as well as people who just fit the Leo archetype.

#1: Actor/Performer/Model

Leos, if nothing else, are lovers of the spotlight. They are the ultimate hams, and it actually suits them quite well. If it involves eyes on them, they will love that role. Unsurprisingly, there are quite a few Leo sun signs in Hollywood these days.

Don’t believe it? According to OprahDaily, some of the most famous Leos in Tinseltown include Mick Jagger, Daniel Radcliffe, Jennifer Lopez, Vivica A. Fox, Helen Mirren, and Arnold Schwarzenegger. It’s clear: Hollywood loves Leo energy!

#2: Politician

Considering how much Leos love the spotlight, it’s not surprising to hear that this star sign is also famous for their public speaking skills. When paired with their ability to sway the masses, it becomes clear that politics can also be one of the best industries for Leo star signs.

Like other signs famous for their charisma, Leos tend to get very loyal fans. This is doubly true when they start running for office. Don’t believe it? Look at who was a Leo in the White House last time: Barack Obama!

#3: Fashion Designer/Stylist

When it comes to zodiac signs famous for their style, you’re going to have a hard time beating Leos. They are not just a stylish zodiac sign. They are the star sign known for their excellent sense of fashion.

Anything that has to do with fashion will likely do well as a career option for Leos. If you’re a Lion, you’ll be happy to know that all of the following rank among the best jobs for Leos:

• Fashion designer
• Textile designer
• Stylist
• Fashion buyer
• Costume designer (for movies and theaters)
• Personal shopper
• Jeweler
• Fashion influencer
• Fashion journalist
• Shoe designer

#4: Teacher

Most of the jobs most suitable for Leo signs are going to be glitzy and glamorous, but not all of them are. If you’re an altruistic Leo, you might do better as a teacher. Leos can channel their “performance magic” into some seriously good lessons for kids.

Heck, they are often the best teachers for kids with short attention spans. The big thing to watch out for here is patience. Leos can get hot-headed at times, which can lead them to “roar” at students who pester them too much!

With that said, Leos are often the “cool teachers” on any campus.

#5: Public Relations Professional

Considering how much this star sign tends to work with actual star power, it’s not surprising to hear that they use their understanding of fame to help others gain their fame. PR professionals are the link between star and magazine…and they do well.

They are talented enough to sway public opinion, but are often lone agents who do things behind the scenes. They’re also well-paid, making this career great for people who want to have a little extra cash at hand at all times.

#6: Entrepreneur

Not all entrepreneurial work is going to be suited for Leos. They often don’t play well with others, to the point that they can be slightly harsh as leaders in a team setting. However, they can be natural leaders if they cultivate those talents well.

Most Leos tend to want to carve their own way. They tend to excel as solopreneurs, especially in the creative arts.

#7: Landscaper

Generally speaking, most Leo signs tend to gravitate toward the creative arts. It’s their type of career world. Though this often comes in the form of something like a pretty dress or a cool photo, Leos can use their eye for aesthetics in different ways, too.

Hard-working Leos sometimes have a need to work with their hands. That’s when they tend to show their brilliance as landscapers and landscaping designers. If you’re a Leo in need of some serious sun energy,

#8: Wall Street-Style Financier

So, I’m going to point this out. On most lists of the best jobs for Leo signs, you’re not going to see anything related to finance or math. Your finance side might be a little rough, but the truth is that Leos have a lot in common with the “Wall Street” gang, especially when it comes to their style.

A lavish style suits you, Leo. You work hard, play harder. If you can handle the math, there’s no reason why you wouldn’t enjoy the grind. The wild enthusiasm of a Leo in the boardroom can’t be matched!

#9: Advertising Professionals

Many of the career choices for Leo rising signs generally focus around stardom—either by being the actual star of the show or launching others to stardom. At times, it’s not just people they bring to fame. It can be products or services.

That’s right. One of the other major career choices for Leo rising signs is in advertising. If you can market things, you’re going to get far in your career.

#10: Religious Preacher

Let’s face it: a lot of people make good money rockin’ a suit in a pulpit. If you’re a religious Lion, don’t be surprised if your natural showmanship and leadership make you a preacher. Depending on your following, you might be able to make a seriously pretty penny!
