    They can make or break your career, drive you crazy or teach you everything they know. Whether your relationship with your boss is dicey or divine, there's always room for improvement. By understanding what makes him or her tick astrology-wise, you'll be a giant step ahead in the game. Does your boss appreciate a self-starter or want to micro-manage everything to death? Can you expect a happy, homey workplace or something more like boot camp? Keep reading to find out.

    Aries (March 21 to April 19)
    The Aries boss is a dynamo. He or she is used to taking charge, and usually assumes that everyone else is the same. They tend to run an office like a military barracks. A direct, no-nonsense type, the Ram tells you what's needed and expects it done fast, so you may have to figure out the details on your own. Anger flashes quickly with this manager, but is just as easily forgotten -- let it roll right off your back.

    Taurus (April 20 to May 20)
    Patience is a Taurus watchword -- haste will score you no points with the Bull. Even if it takes you longer, this boss appreciates a job done right. But be prepared to wait until Friday to get a response to a request you make on Monday. Taurus has a keen eye for the bottom line, and frowns on excessive personal calls or too many visits to the copy machine. You can always count on his or her warm heart, though, as well as advice with practical problems.

    Gemini (May 21 to June 20)
    This boss is the original multi-tasker, talking on the phone while checking e-mail and calling out demands. Those who can't keep pace with Gemini's fast-track mind can easily be left in the dust. The Twins admire intelligence and curiosity, and love to banter and exchange ideas. Usually bright and cheery, they can switch to dark and snippy at the drop of a hat. Don't take it personally though -- the Sun will come out again soon.

    Cancer (June 21 to July 22)
    The Cancer boss is like Mom or Dad shepherding the flock. Consider yourself part of the family (and bring in food to share). You'll usually find a sympathetic ear, but you're also expected to be loyal. Squabbling and moodiness (typical Cancer faults) are okay, but telling company secrets is not. This boss is easily overwhelmed and may need to withdraw into his or her shell periodically -- be sure to respect a closed office door.

    Leo (July 23 to Aug. 22)
    The key to understanding a Leo boss is that he or she is always right. Even if you know better, think twice before pointing out an error -- and never do so in front of others. The world revolves around the Lion, and even the nicest of them like to feel they're running the show. Respect is big for this sign -- defer to their authority, but don't bow and scrape or they won't respect you. On the plus side, this boss can inspire your true creativity.

      Virgo (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22)
      The Virgo boss is a stickler for details, and likes to run a tidy shop. Punctuality and accuracy are considered virtues. Disorder makes Virgo nervous -- this sign likes to have control over its environment. But the Virgin also likes to be of service, and won't hesitate to help you with whatever you need, even if it means micro-managing from time to time. Be gentle in setting necessary boundaries.
