As a Boss, How Would You Be Buttered Up
Sun / Capricorn
The Capricorn Boss (December 21 to January 19)
Capricorn employers expect discipline, hard work, and ambition as they were born under the sign of career pursuits. You have to be on your best behavior to keep the Capricorn boss happy, so toe the line to get work done on time and within budget. A good Capricorn supervisor will inspire you to climb the career ladder and reach the top of your profession. Dressing conservatively and highlighting formal accomplishments like degrees, awards, and certificate programs can gain you the Capricorn boss's respect.
As a Boss, How Would You Be Buttered Up
Sun / Sagittarius
The Sagittarius Boss (November 22 to December 20)
With the Sagittarian boss, it's often hard to know whether you've hit the jackpot or hit rock bottom. Your Archer employer is usually cheerful, optimistic, and game for almost anything. However, they can be chronically late and forgetful about appointments. Keep your Archer focused without being overbearing, and use humor to ease tense situations. Whenever possible, arrange outdoor meetings or travel, and accept that sometimes Sagittarians just want to let their hair down.

The CAPRICORN Boss
"I told them once, I told them twice:
they would not listen to advice."
"Now I growl when I'm pleased, and
wag my tail when I'm angry'
Therefore I'm mad."
Working under a Capricorn boss can be an enigma wrapped in perplexity, bursting with intricate details and careful planning. Picture a hidden mastermind behind the scenes, orchestrating the complex tapestry of a famous artist's life. Few are aware of their presence, as they quietly navigate the labyrinthine world of a well-known figure.
This particular executive, a quintessential embodiment of the Capricorn traits, holds court from behind a solid desk, expertly managing the countless threads and loose ends that make up the daily existence of the renowned individual. Their responsibilities range from welcoming the singer's relatives at airports to making extravagant purchases or arranging premieres under the glow of floodlights. Calm and composed, they handle legal battles and tax predicaments by skillfully delegating each matter to the most competent accountant or attorney, ensuring that no detail remains neglected or mishandled. Their phone rings incessantly, as desperate calls for help come pouring in from various members of the sprawling entourage. With unwavering precision, they keep track of everyone's whereabouts, reasons for being there, and the precise moment they are expected to return. Their mind houses an arsenal of statistics, some top-secret and coveted by reporters, others seemingly trivial, like the opening scene of a two-decade-old film or the box office figures of a current release. They possess an uncanny ability to source hot, catered spaghetti with Italian cheese sauce in the blink of an eye.
A day in the life of this Capricorn boss knows no boundaries. It commences at the break of dawn, and even as midnight approaches, they tirelessly tie up loose ends and set in motion the orders that will be executed with precision come morning. Often, they resort to shaving, showering, and dressing within the confines of their office, blurring the lines between work and personal life. To witness them in a discotheque or a nightclub is to witness a fish out of water, compelled by duty to put on a poker face amidst the pulsating beats and vibrant ambiance.
Their domain sprawls across an entire floor of a Manhattan building, featuring not only outer rooms and a reception area but also a spacious den reserved for their private use. In one corner rests a grand circular desk, serving as a command center for the myriad papers that demand their attention on a daily basis. The remaining expanse of their personal sanctuary is furnished with plush couches, overstuffed chairs, coffee tables, heavy drapes, lamps, bookcases, and a carpet that feels like moss beneath one's feet. A dining room completes the setup, boasting a table sizable enough to accommodate an entire baseball team for lunch, with china closets, mirrors, dishes, silverware, and glasses adorning the space. The walls are adorned with patterned wallpaper, and tanks housing exquisite tropical fish line the room. It's a space that exudes a sense of home, more akin to a cozy residence than a bustling executive office.
In essence, this Capricorn boss has transplanted their home to their workplace, as the sanctity of the domestic sphere holds paramount importance. Their relatives are a constant presence, reinforcing the unbreakable bonds of family life that never falter in the face of professional obligations.
True to their Saturnian nature, these bosses embody certain qualities that are common among Capricorn executives. They personify a paternal figure to their employees?stern yet fair. The expectation of duty and obedience runs deep, and woe befalls those who forget to feed the velvet-tailed guppies or fail to meet the high standards set before them. Rarely do they raise their voice to issue orders. Instead, their tone remains gruff yet quiet, except in moments of egregious stupidity or careless mistakes that prompt them to bellow, channeling their inner Monty Woolley. While visitors might feel intimidated by their serious and formal demeanor, the staff has come to recognize the tender heart that beats within, staunchly defending their boss against any criticism from outsiders. Nevertheless, they may mutter under their breath when the boss cracks the whip. He may chastise them when they stumble, but he will provide an extra fifty when it's needed or send flowers to the hospital room of an employee's mother. Compliments and flattery are not their style; a mumbled "Yeah, that's good" serves as their version of extravagant praise. Yet, they lend a sympathetic ear to their employees' personal troubles, ensuring they eat properly and wear suitable footwear when rain pours down. The staff becomes a tight-knit family, with the Capricorn boss unequivocally serving as the household head.
Unlike Santa Claus, they don't distribute Christmas bonuses with joyous abandon. However, they are never stingy when an employee finds themselves stranded in Las Vegas without a return plane ticket or when the hardworking assistant requires assistance with an overwhelming medical bill. (In the case of the Las Vegas scenario, they will swiftly wire a return ticket rather than cash, always opting for frugality.) Although gruff, they possess a gentle and timid side. Charity solicitors can expect generous contributions, with an extra zero added for causes connected to children or the elderly. Rest and nourishment often slip their mind due to the weight of responsibilities, requiring gentle reminders to take a break or savor their lunch. Occasionally, they descend into a black pit of Saturnine depression, shutting themselves away from the world, gazing out the window at Central Park, with no one daring to disturb their solitude. Phone calls are put on hold, and office problems are set aside until the cloud of melancholy lifts. Clad in conservative attire, donning dark colors and understated styles, they possess an air of a wise grandfather. A pocket watch, a relic of times past, frequently makes an appearance, its presence reminiscent of an era gone by. Adorning the walls of their workspace are antique bric-a-brac and faded photographs of cherished family members, their beloved wife, children, and various relatives.
Such is the essence of a Capricorn boss. Hold this image in your mind, and you'll gain a solid understanding of what to expect from any Saturn executive, including your own. Spare moments won't be squandered; they expect you to follow suit. Is the switchboard silent? Excellent. Use the time to file those letters. Is the schedule light today? Wonderful. Move those cartons in the stockroom. Don't waste office hours on nail polishing if you're their secretary, and resist the temptation to engage in lengthy phone conversations with your loved ones if you're a male employee. Your Saturn boss will materialize instantly, like an avenging genie, his frown palpable. Inviting your beatnik, bearded brother with a guitar to visit you at the office would be ill-advised. Even though they deeply value family ties, both theirs and yours, they would raise a conservative eyebrow of disapproval. Female employees who drench themselves in overpowering perfume and male employees who practice their putting skills in the conference room won't find favor in the office of a Capricorn executive. To them, heavy perfume belongs in the bottle, and putting belongs on the golf course, preferably at the most prestigious country club.
They hold a deep reverence for individuals who have surpassed them on the mountain of success, making it wise to familiarize yourself with the social register. If you didn't graduate from Vassar or Harvard, ensure you have an aunt or uncle who did. Make sure they know you take your mother out for lunch every Wednesday or that you fund your younger brother's tuition at a prestigious preparatory school, and your chances of promotion will increase. Clean nails, courteous manners, and impeccable grammar are necessities, while efficient work without complaint or whining is a must. In front of strangers, never address them by their first name, and never utter a word of criticism about their family. For Christmas, gift them a chipped and faded oil painting of Thomas Jefferson, acquired from an antique shop, or a rock discreetly procured from Nancy Hanks' birthplace last summer. Capricorns hold history and tradition in high esteem, but be cautious not to disclose the nature of your acquisition. Their commitment to scrupulous honesty is unwavering. While apple-polishing won't earn you a raise, understanding their lonely heart will garner their trust. Though others may perceive them as firm disciplinarians with hearts of stone, let them know that you see beyond the surface:
A shy and sensitive soul longing for freedom and casualness, yet shackled by the demands of Saturn?obedience, order, and authority. To you, they will treat as a beloved son or daughter, occasionally delivering a firm hand when you falter and rewards when you excel. They won't abandon you in times of trouble or lock the door when you need assistance. Just remember to feed those velvet-tailed guppies.

The SAGITTARIUS Boss
'Wo, no! the adventures first,"
said the Gryphon in an impatient tone:
"Explanations take such a dreadful time."
Working for a Sagittarius boss can be an adventure filled with perplexity and bursts of unpredictability. From the first encounter, you may find yourself oscillating between amusement and frustration, unsure of how to categorize this gentleman. Is he a clueless fool, a genius, or a rude boor? The lines blur as you observe his peculiar behavior.
As days turn into weeks, you remain in a state of unease, observing his actions and trying to decipher his motives. Is he intentionally insulting, or does he possess a touch of quixotic charm? It's difficult to determine when he alternates between relishing in affronts and showering you with sincere flattery. There's a certain awkwardness about him, reminiscent of a colt finding its balance. But wait, does he effortlessly exude grace, like a racehorse on a track? It's as if he employs some sort of trickery, defying conventional understanding.
Yet, despite the initial confusion, you decide to give him a chance and see how the situation unfolds. After all, his upbringing must have been spoiled by an indulgent mother. Or perhaps not, as you discover that he simply followed his own desires. You remind yourself that he is someone else's responsibility, not yours. Soon, you develop a twinge of sympathy for his wife, who must navigate an exciting yet challenging life. And you, convinced of his secret animosity towards you, question if he truly harbors such feelings. In truth, he is infatuated with you, though brutally honest about your mistakes and faults. His intense scrutiny reveals his fondness, making it hard to fathom how he perceives the depths of your being.
A peculiar incident comes to mind, involving a missed coffee meeting. You had hoped to use the occasion to uncover his true character. Alas, he had forgotten, lost in the excitement of his commitments elsewhere. You consider penning a letter to express your grievances, armed with logical arguments and a desire for a clear understanding. Yet, deep down, you know that he would not indulge in a lengthy debate. His time is valuable, and he deems engaging in discussions about his flaws a waste of his precious resources. Besides, change is not in his nature, rendering your efforts futile. Does he possess any virtues at all? Yes, indeed. Hold onto those virtues and release the rest, just as his mother and wife have done. Emulate their wisdom.
Reflecting on his positive traits, you realize that he rarely succumbs to grumpiness. Though occasionally, when confronted with dampened enthusiasm or the need to recall figures from expense reports, his jovial demeanor may falter. Nevertheless, he remains fair in matters of sick leave and vacations, displaying generosity. His ability to offer an advance on your pay, understanding your gambling losses at the racetrack, speaks to his compassion. Another checkmark in his favor.
Recalling a time when you experienced heartbreak and regret, he granted you the afternoon off to mend the shattered relationship. Before you left, he remarked on your creativity, filling your heart with renewed confidence. His morale-boosting skills are commendable. And there's no denying his dedication to fighting for what he believes is right—a true crusader in his own way. Working for such a man is undeniably thrilling.
Yet, there are moments of embarrassment when he openly points out flaws, oblivious to the wounds he may inflict. Although the praise outweighs the uncomfortable instances, those painful moments linger. However, his sincerity shines through in his apologies, even if they inadvertently make matters worse.
Predicting his whereabouts proves to be a challenge. Sagittarius individuals possess an inherent restlessness, always on the move at a moment's notice. He possesses a knack for spotting phonies and unveiling hidden motives, but his romantic entanglements may prove more challenging to navigate. His circle of friends spans various backgrounds and professions, demonstrating his inclusive and loyal nature. Bankers, politicians, carnival workers, and more find their place in his life. His judgment of others aligns with his personal standards, and he staunchly defends those who meet his criteria.
As he issues orders, there's a regal air about him, yet his jovial nature tempers any offense one might take. While tactless and at times foolish, he possesses a powerful intuition that guides him out of many predicaments. He may stumble physically, such as stepping into wastebaskets or grinding cigarettes in paper clips, but mentally he remains remarkably sharp. His ideas often challenge the status quo and lead to success.
Shyness may cloak some Sagittarius bosses, but Jupiter's influence remains evident in their personalities. Even the most introverted among them can engage in intriguing and instructive monologues when the mood strikes. These bosses genuinely care for animals, revel in bright lights, harbor grand plans, appreciate creative thinkers, and relish in good food, drink, travel, loyalty, change, and freedom. They are averse to dishonesty, cruelty, secrecy, stinginess, pessimism, possessiveness, and hypocrisy. Working for a Sagittarius boss guarantees an experience that is anything but dull, as tomorrow's uncertainty contrasts with the vibrancy of today.
