Bosses by Sign: Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces

Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces

Libra (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22)
Justice is vital to your Libra boss. He or she will strive for fairness in both distribution of the workload and how each person is treated, regardless of gender or rank. Likewise, this boss will expect the same from you. Possessed of a keen mind and strong negotiation skills, he or she won't stand for spreading rumors or bad vibes. If you have a bone to pick with someone -- the boss included -- schedule a meeting and talk it through until justice is served.

Scorpio (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)
This boss is an enigma. Outwardly friendly and seemingly open, Scorpio is wary of revealing his or her true self and tends to distrust others, having been betrayed in the past. A great manager of people and wielder of power, the Scorpion sees straight through you to your hidden motives. Whatever you say will be recorded in their data banks for future reference. Therefore, be open and honest at all times to avoid getting stung.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21)
The Archer is a fun boss, as long as you honor his or her opinions. Sagittarius loves a spirited discussion, but also likes to win the debate. The worst of them are know-it-alls who'll go on forever, wasting your time. But the best are truly inspirational and can function as a guide or mentor for you, long after you've left the company. You can pick this person's brain for wisdom, as they are usually well-traveled and know a great deal.

Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19)
The word "boss" may have been coined for a Capricorn, as this sign naturally rises to a position of authority and likes telling people what to do. This person has a warm, fatherly (or motherly) quality, but they aren't always sensitive to subtleties. Ask clearly for what you need. Keep personal traumas in check, though -- this boss admires a stiff upper lip, and barring a real emergency, appreciates your willingness to put the job first.

Aquarius (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18)
The Aquarius boss prides him or herself on being cutting-edge. But when it comes right down to it, you may find this person a bit rigid or unyielding. Most Water-bearers thrive on being team players, though, and will come around if they see they're the odd man (or woman) out. Aquarians may seem detached or downright chilly sometimes, but they're just lost in their own little worlds. That's how they come up with those genius ideas.

Pisces (Feb. 19 to March 20)
The Fish is usually a real sweetheart, and may in fact be overly accommodating to employees' needs and sensitivities. Don't take advantage of this boss too often by being late or missing work, though, because at some point they'll snap and it won't be pretty. There's a steely side to Pisces, which gives them the discipline to be so creative. The Fish will appreciate it if you help them stay organized, though, as it's not their strong suit.
