Taurus & the Scorpio Boss

Tenacity 

 

It's likely that you were hired because Scorpio felt the chemistry was right. Perhaps you felt the same thing during your initial interview, and no wonder. In the astrological scheme of things, you two are polar opposites who create a powerful balance for each other.

Your respective elements, earth and water, get along just fine, and you're both fixed signs. You're also equally stubborn, which can be a problem, but well explore that more in the compatibility section. Let's see how this relationship works on a daily basis. 

Using Your Strengths 

Your tenacity and resilience match that of Scorpio. Once you start something—whether it's reading a book or climbing Everest—you usually finish it. As far as your Scorpio boss is concerned, your persistence and tenacity are your greatest strengths. You also have deep reservoirs of creative energy and a knack for making the abstract so practical that anyone can understand it and use it. 

You aren't the type who likes sitting at a desk all day long. It goes against your grain. Besides, some of your best creative ideas come to you 

when you're involved in physical activity. If you can break up your workday with a brisk walk or a yoga class, you'll be far more produc-tive. Your Scorpio boss may go for the idea and even join you! 

One of the interesting dynamics between you and your Scorpio boss is that he may see strengths in you that you don't even know you have. The reverse is also true. 

Stand Up for What You Believe 

You won't have any problem doing this. As fixed signs, both you and Scorpio have firm ideas about what's right and what's wrong and what's beneficial or not for the company or the service you provide. 

If there's something about your job that you would like to be doing differently, then write out your approach and explain why you believe it will work. Back it with facts. Or, if you have a strong intuitive sense about this approach—or have received information through dreams and synchronicities—lay that out, too. Scorpio will listen closely. 

Taurus can be as intuitive as Scorpio but often demands proof that the intuition is correct. So when you provide Scorpio with your intuitive impressions about something, it's only after you have scrutinized and rigorously cross-examined it. 

Set Goals 

Some people drift from one task to another in their jobs, without any particular goal in mind. They're just putting in their time. But for you, that's like embarking across a vast ocean with-out a rudder or direction. You need more than a series of tasks strung together from one day to the next. You need to know not only where you're going but also how you'll get there. And what better way to do that than setting goals? It's something that comes naturally to you. 

Whether you set goals daily, weekly, monthly or even annually, it's important to write them down. That makes them more concrete, real and tangible, and it's easier to gauge your progress. If you're in sales, you might keep daily goals about how many products you would like to sell or aim for a specific dollar amount. 

You can be sure that your Scorpio boss has her own list of goals for the company—the day-to-day minutiae as well as goals for the larger picture.
