Visionary, independent… And never where you expect them to be.
Whether you believe in astrology or not, we hope this article will speak to you and perhaps even surprise you.
Born between 20 January and 18 February, Aquarius is one of the most atypical signs of the zodiac. Creative, independent and forward-thinking, they are not content to follow the rules, but prefer to reinvent them.
How does this unique personality express itself in the workplace?
We tell you everything in the first edition of our monthly Astro Job series.
Aquarius at work: a free spirit above all
In the office, Aquarius is easy to spot. You know, that colleague who constantly comes up with new ideas, challenges habits and always thinks outside the box.
Aquarius is a true driver of innovation. They enjoy long-term thinking, anticipating trends and finding original solutions. Their forward-thinking mindset is often highly valued during strategic phases.
Aquarius and conflict management
When faced with conflict, Aquarians tend to take a step back emotionally. They analyse the situation rationally and seek above all to understand the root of the problem. They favour dialogue and the search for constructive solutions, provided they feel heard.
However, if they feel restricted, misunderstood or confronted with an overly rigid hierarchy, they may quickly detach or disengage.
Keys to managing conflicts effectively:
- Clearly express your needs and boundaries;
- Prioritise dialogue and co-creation of solutions;
- Surround yourself with managers who are open to listening and feedback;
- Do not avoid conflict, but use it as a lever for improvement.
Our career advice for Aquarians
To truly thrive, Aquarians should aim to:
- Choose companies that are open to innovation and new ideas;
- Prioritise roles that offer autonomy and flexibility;
- Work in collaborative teams rather than highly hierarchical structures;
- Get involved in projects that promote values and meaning.
We cannot stress this enough: management based on trust and active listening will often be much more effective than a strict framework for this sign.
Which careers suit Aquarius?
As you may have guessed, Aquarians flourish in environments that leave room for autonomy, creativity and experimentation, such as:
- Innovation, R&D and digital transformation;
- IT, data and AI;
- Communication, strategic marketing and brand content;
- Start-ups and entrepreneurial ecosystems;
- NGOs and projects with a social or environmental impact;
- Consulting, strategy and change management.
More than the job title, it is the meaning behind the project and freedom of action that truly make the difference for this sign!
Aquarius compatibility with other signs at work
Aquarius works particularly well with:
♊ Gemini: curious, adaptable and communicative. A very stimulating collaboration, with smooth discussions and shared creative projects.
♎Libra: diplomatic and team-oriented. The collaboration is harmonious, with a good atmosphere and balanced decision-making.
♐ Sagittarius: adventurous and enthusiastic. Together, they lead dynamic, original and innovative projects.
♒ Aquarius: same vision of work and sense of originality and freedom. A highly creative collaboration, but alignment on common goals is necessary to avoid excessive independence.
On the other hand, Aquarius may encounter friction with:
♉Taurus: pragmatic and attached to traditional methods. Aquarius may find them too rigid when faced with new ideas.
♏ Scorpio: intense, sometimes possessive or secretive. Their need for control may conflict with Aquarius' independence.
♋ Cancer: emotional and protective. Aquarius may find them too sensitive, leading to differences in pace and priorities between logic and emotion.
♑ Capricorn: structured and hierarchical. Aquarius may feel restricted if too many rules are imposed.
