Details of Your Personality, How You Are As A Employee

Sun / Leo

The LEO Employee
The sun was shining on the sea,
Shining with all his might:
He did his very best to make
The billows smooth and bright-
And this was odd, because it was
The middle of the night.

If you have the pleasure of employing a Leo, you'll quickly realize that it's nearly impossible to overlook their presence. Even if they happen to be more reserved, ignoring them would be unwise. The assertive lions will ensure that you appreciate their talents and acknowledge their value by simply informing you of their greatness. The timid pussycats will sulk until they receive the same treatment. Ultimately, it all boils down to the same thing - you mustn't disregard your Leo employees.

Whether the lion roars from center stage or bides their time in the wings, their pride is unmistakable. They possess a sense of dignity and recognize their inherent superiority, and they won't allow anyone to overlook it. Leos are not the kind of individuals who conceal their brilliance. If their vanity isn't acknowledged, both types of lions will seek greener pastures elsewhere. They simply cannot tolerate being underestimated.

Leos have a profound affinity for titles. The grander and more extravagant, the better. Even if you offer the lion a significant raise, granting their coworker the title of "Chief of Office Coordination" will hardly be appreciated. They'll brood over their colleague's increased status, firmly believing that they, and only they, deserve such a promotion.

Their insistence on asserting their rights should not be mistaken for perversity. It is an inherent part of their nature to be the masters of all they survey. Leadership courses through their veins, and it is impossible to completely extinguish this quality. Leo is naturally inclined to assume responsibility. They feel useless and unwanted when they aren't given some form of obligation. If no other avenue exists for them to establish their importance, they'll provide free advice to friends and family. Even strangers won't be neglected. Leos freely dispense their pearls of wisdom to all. They'll tell you how much you should be paying for that extra room you want to build over your garage, offer guidance to your secretary about her alimony troubles, inform the cleaning lady of the best ointment for her sore toe, and explain to the mailman how he could improve the efficiency of his deliveries. The less significant their role in the workplace, the more seriously they will embrace their role as counselors.

I once knew a Leo man (of the quieter variety) who worked for a large company. For years, his family operated under the vague impression that he was the district sales manager. In reality, he was an ordinary salesman and a route supervisor, though he was one of the most indispensable individuals in the company. Unable to assume the position of sales manager until the well-qualified man holding the title retired, the Leo swallowed his wounded pride and allowed his family to believe he held the position.

His immense sense of responsibility was evident in his unwavering loyalty and dedication over the years. He spent a quarter of a century supplying the company with creative advertising ideas that translated into steadily increasing profits. Simultaneously, he competently supervised the company's truck routes in all types of weather, at all hours, and awaited the recognition he rightfully deserved. However, when the sales manager finally retired, a younger individual was brought in from New York to assume the role. It was on that day that the Leo resigned. With a heavy Capricorn influence in his birth chart, he handled the situation with greater ease than the typical Leo. However, the scars from the deep wound inflicted upon his pride will remain with him for the rest of his life. There is nothing sadder than witnessing the dignified lion robbed of the respect he so desperately seeks and genuinely deserves.

Make a note that the leonine sense of responsibility, which can be incredibly impressive, typically emerges in full force during maturity. In their youth, Leos are classical playboys, joyfully prancing through days and nights filled with wine, women, and song. They wear the flashiest clothes, making everyone laugh with their clown-like antics and roaring when someone steps on their magnificent tails.

Young Leo employees are ideally suited for roles in promotion and sales. They possess a natural showmanship and their warm, sunny dispositions will keep your customers satisfied. Later, as they mature, these big cats can gradually transition into top-level positions, where they will dutifully fulfill any responsibility entrusted to them. It's wise for any manager to recognize when the lion has graduated from the role of playboy prince to the just and dignified king.

It's a peculiar trait of Leos, regardless of gender. Beneath their brave exteriors, they secretly fear lacking genuine courage. They may exhibit pride, vanity, and even laziness, but when a crisis emerges - be it personal or professional - they suddenly display unwavering strength. Surprising everyone, they reveal their true nature, their inner power, when faced with immense pressure or burden.

Jacqueline Kennedy's childhood of ease and comfort left people wholly unprepared for her incredible courage in the face of unspeakable tragedy. A Leo with a reputation as a playboy will astonish their friends when they bravely and cheerfully support an invalid spouse and two elderly aunts after a thoughtless, carefree, and irresponsible youth. Individuals born under the sign of the Lion, ruled by the Sun, rarely realize the extraordinary power they possess until tested. Until that time arrives, always remember that they are merely pretending to be strong. Behind their fierce roars lies an unnecessary inferiority complex.

If a Leo cannot assume a position of authority, they must have a role that allows them to showcase their talents and abilities to the world in some way. After changing jobs a dozen times due to a lack of promotion to at least a vice presidency, the typical Leo will often gravitate toward professions where they can be their own bosses. If denied the opportunity to be an executive or a leader, they find contentment as teachers, salespeople, doctors, lawyers, managers, counselors, speakers, announcers, actors, actresses, writers, plumbers, or tourist guides. The lion seeks a vocation that enables them to impart their superior knowledge to others in some capacity or to bask in the bright spotlight of publicity. They shine brightest in the fields of politics and public relations.

Remember that your Leo employee will either ascend to an executive position on par with your own within a reasonable timeframe, or they will depart. They can never be satisfied working behind the scenes. They crave applause and adoration, and it is your responsibility as the manager to provide them with a steady stream of compliments. Withholding flattery from your Leo employee will diminish their potential value by at least fifty percent.

Ensure that your lioness's vanity is regularly nurtured as well. Occasionally bring her a yellow rose to adorn her hair, disregarding the whispers of gossip. You can't afford to lose her. Those gossips lack her virtues and abilities. Frequently express how lovely she looks, how intelligent she is, and occasionally provide her with complimentary tickets to a concert or a grand event. Always ensure you have two tickets available, as the Leo woman will inevitably be married, in love, or have a special someone in her life throughout the year.

As for the lion, treat him to lunch frequently, preferably at an upscale restaurant where important people can observe him in the company of a high-ranking individual. Whenever possible, assign the responsibility of training new employees to your male and female Leo team members. They won't mind the extra work; they'll take pride in the additional responsibility, relishing the opportunity to assert their authority and guide others.

A little astrological psychology, cleverly applied, can transform your proud and touchy Leos into true assets for the company. They will adorn the office with their grace and enthusiasm. Surround them with bright lights, vivid yellow or orange draperies and carpets, and the most luxurious desks and typewriters within your budget. Nothing dampens a Leo's spirit more than having to work with outdated, shabby equipment, unless it's working with pessimistic and unimaginative individuals.

Leos require generous expense accounts and a bit of extra time for lunch. Meals are social occasions for them, and they utilize these opportunities to showcase their promotional skills. Provide them with a general idea, and they will transform it into a dramatic campaign that may attract numerous new customers. You can't expect them to operate at full speed when they're watching the clock and worrying about finances. While Leos can quickly calculate figures, they seldom develop the skill of counting pennies.

As for the clock, it restricts their style. The lion is easily tamed if you know how. Loosen the rules and lower the barriers slightly. Leos cannot be confined, as doing so will lead to sulking and a loss of their natural drive.

It's a wise decision to hire a Leo. They bring excitement to the workplace and can shoulder enormous burdens without complaint. They require a rich diet of compliments, authority, raises, titles, and freedom, but this isn't too high a price to pay for their intelligence, loyalty, faith, ideas, and sense of responsibility. After all, how many bosses have royalty on their payroll? Cater to both your big cats and shy pussycats, providing them with an ample supply of catnip, and they will justify the investment by becoming your most ardent supporters, proudly representing your company as if they were the owners themselves. The lion's heart is as vast as their ego.

Sun / Virgo

The VIRGO Employee
There is an inherent perplexity in the nature of a Virgo employee that makes them truly unique. Treasure this employee, plan their advancement slowly and meticulously, and consider grooming them for the role of your trusted assistant. Avoid rushing their progress, as quick promotions may instill a sense of unpreparedness and reluctance.

While it's not necessary to shower them with excessive bonuses, it's important to ensure fair compensation. Virgos are well aware of their own value in the job market and won't hesitate to seek opportunities elsewhere if they perceive unfair treatment. It's a common misconception that Virgos provide service without seeking personal gratification. In truth, they do expect to be rewarded for their efforts, as financial security holds significant importance for them. It's not about material status or a desire to accumulate wealth; rather, it's rooted in their deep-seated fear of being dependent on others in old age. The mere thought of such vulnerability sends shivers down their spine. However, it's worth noting that Virgos often enjoy better health in their later years compared to other zodiac signs. Despite this, concerns about health and financial stability linger in their minds. The twin specters of hospitals and poverty are never far from their thoughts, motivating them to seek career advancement and secure their future. When that point of financial security is reached, the nervous intensity that characterizes Virgos begins to ease, though they never truly relax. Nail-biting and allergies may lessen, but a certain level of concern remains.

Virgo employees possess an impeccable eye for detail, sometimes to an uncomfortable extent. Being the boss won't shield you from their keen observation and straightforward manner of pointing out mistakes. Titles and positions hold no sanctity for them; what matters most is achieving perfection. Nevertheless, they will likely display more outward courtesy and respect toward you compared to their peers.

You can always rely on these employees, whether male or female, to possess strong analytical skills and excellent taste. Their sharp sense of discrimination makes them exceptional critics, swiftly identifying weaknesses in a plan or project. Virgo workers are adaptable, versatile, clear-thinking, precise, intelligent, and dependable. They never submit sloppy work and have no tolerance for incomplete tasks or laziness—be it from others or even occasional laziness from the boss. If you take a day off for a game of golf, don't be surprised if you return to the office to find a subtly disapproving look from your Virgo employee, although they will likely keep their thoughts to themselves.

Virgos thrive in businesses that provide service to the general public. Publishing, the literary field, medicine, pharmacy, food-related industries, scientific laboratories, service agencies, bookkeeping, and accounting are all domains where Virgos excel. They handle their tasks competently and efficiently, leaving no detail unconsidered. Virgos have no patience for half-done work or laziness, including their own. Thus, it is safe to entrust your Virgo employee with tasks that require minimal supervision. Their unwavering ethics and sense of responsibility make them reliable team members. However, they may prefer working alone or beside you rather than facing possible criticism from coworkers. Virgos work quickly, though it may not be immediately apparent. They feel insecure about taking shortcuts and will not be satisfied until they have checked all the facts. Their cautious and methodical approach ensures thoroughness, even if it gives the appearance of slowness.

Advertising may not be a natural fit for their practical and realistic nature, but Virgos can be valuable in roles where they meticulously address the aftermath of creative brainstorms gone awry. They ensure that grand ideas thrown into the promotional mix are free from major flaws.

Sending your Virgo employee out for company promotion or sales isn't advisable. Their honesty and plain-spoken nature make it difficult for them to paint overly optimistic pictures for potential customers. Moreover, their inherently shy and reserved disposition prevents them from pushing themselves or your firm with excessive enthusiasm. Only a few exceptions to the rule become successful salespeople.

Virgo employees dress neatly, speak with refined diction, maintain impeccable cleanliness, and often have a desk so tidy it may seem bare. While a Virgo's desk may appear cluttered to an outsider, they know the exact order amid the apparent chaos and can locate any item with precision. Every postage stamp and paper clip is accounted for, even if it appears as a heap of rubbish to others.

When a Virgo employee becomes noticeably untidy, whether at work or home, it often indicates underlying emotional unhappiness—similar to a Sagittarian suddenly becoming neat and meticulous.

Resist the urge to criticize a Virgo's work. They will likely identify their own mistakes before you do. If criticism is necessary, keep it brief and gentle. Forget any unnecessary criticism entirely. It takes very little to warm their hearts with loyalty and gratitude, but it also takes very little to cause a Virgo to bristle, fret, and sulk. However, when faced with a genuine crisis, they will astonish you with their unwavering support and assistance. During such times, they will appear to have grown two feet taller.

Avoid subjecting Virgos to environments with wild, bright colors, as it disrupts their inner tranquility. Provide them with modern and efficient equipment to optimize their performance. Virgos dislike noise and confusion in their workspaces. Additionally, they thrive on regular schedules, so granting them a fixed day off and adhering to it is crucial. While they are willing to work overtime when needed, they detest the insecurity and confusion of shifting schedules. Though their emotional needs may be concealed, they still exist, and showing genuine appreciation can make a significant difference.

While it's true that some Virgos engage in esoteric or imaginative work, their fundamental nature remains unchanged. An astrologer born under this sign will approach their occult investigations with meticulous precision. A Virgo poet will adhere to precise meter, a Virgo painter will focus on intricate details, and a Virgo actor or actress will diligently study and perfect dialects or accents for their roles. Do not be surprised when individuals born under a particular Sun sign do not align with the stereotypical career choices associated with their sign. Through careful observation, you will see that they are still true to their fundamental nature.

Once you have gradually elevated your Virgo employee from an entry-level position (which they don't mind starting with) to become your trusted right-hand person, you can truly relax and enjoy a game of golf, knowing that a reliable individual is holding the fort at the office. However, you may experience a twinge of guilt when you return, met with reproachful gazes from those lovely, clear Virgo eyes. Have you ever noticed just how attractive your Virgo employee is? Take another look.

"Will you, won't you, will you, won't you,
will you join the dance?
The further off from England, the nearer is to France."
"Contrariwise," continued Tweedledum,
"if it was so, it might be;
and, if it were so, it would be;
but as it isn't, it ain't.
That's logic."
