Posted in Business by

If you are interested in starting your own business, you might wonder what kind of entrepreneur you are, and how your zodiac sign influences your style and approach.

In Part 2, I’ll explore the characteristics of the last six and how they relate to entrepreneurship. I will also provide some examples of famous entrepreneurs for inspiration.

Libra (September 23 – October 22)

Libra entrepreneurs are diplomatic, cooperative, and fair-minded. They value harmony and balance in their business dealings, and they are good at building relationships and partnerships. Libra entrepreneurs are also creative and artistic, and they can come up with innovative solutions and products. However, they may struggle with indecision and procrastination, as they tend to weigh all the pros and cons before making a move. They may also avoid confrontation and conflict, which can make them appear passive or weak.

Some examples of Libra entrepreneurs are Kim Kardashian (KKW Beauty and SKIMS), Ralph Lauren (founder of the fashion brand that bears his name), Mark Cuban (owner of the Dallas Mavericks NBA team and co-founder of Broadcast.com; also, a “Shark Tank” investor), and Barbara Corcoran (real estate mogul and also a “Shark Tank” investor).

Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)

Scorpio entrepreneurs are passionate, determined, and resourceful. They have a strong will and a clear vision of what they want to achieve, and they are not afraid to take risks or face challenges. Scorpio entrepreneurs are also loyal, trustworthy, and secretive, and they protect their business interests and assets fiercely. However, they may be too intense and obsessive, as they tend to get emotionally involved in their work and have a hard time letting go. They may also be suspicious and jealous, which can make them paranoid or manipulative.

Some examples of Scorpio entrepreneurs are Bill Gates (co-founder of Microsoft), Hillary Clinton (former First Lady, New York senator, Secretary of State, and founder of Onward Together), Katy Perry (Katy Perry Collections), Marie Forleo (founder of B-School and host of MarieTV), and Sean “Diddy” or”P. Diddy” Combs (Rapper, actor, producer, and founder of Bad Boy Entertainment).

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)

Sagittarius entrepreneurs are optimistic, adventurous, and enthusiastic. They have a positive outlook and a sense of humor, and they enjoy learning new things and exploring new opportunities. Sagittarius entrepreneurs are also generous and honest, and they share their knowledge and resources with others. However, they may be too restless and impulsive, as they tend to jump from one idea to another without finishing what they started. They may also be careless and irresponsible, which can make them unreliable or reckless.

Some examples of Sagittarius entrepreneurs are Walt Disney (The Walt Disney Company), Taylor Swift (singer/songwriter and founder of Taylor Swift Productions), and Steven Spielberg (Amblin Entertainment),

Capricorn entrepreneurs are ambitious, practical, and disciplined. They have a long-term vision and a realistic plan, and they work hard and diligently to achieve their goals. Capricorn entrepreneurs are also responsible and reliable, and they deliver on their promises and commitments. However, they may be too conservative and rigid, as they tend to stick to the rules and the status quo without taking any risks or trying anything new. They may also be pessimistic and cynical, which can make them dull or boring.

Some examples of Capricorn entrepreneurs are Jeff Bezos (founder of Amazon and owner of The Washington Post), Michelle Obama (former First Lady, best-selling author, and co-founder of Higher Ground Productions), and Howard Schultz (former CEO of Starbucks and founder of the Schultz Family Foundation).

Aquarius entrepreneurs are also friendly and humanitarian, and they care about social causes and the greater good.
