When it comes to your academic interests, they're likely wide and ranging — and your Zodiac sign probably has nothing to do them. Be that as it may, if you're currently in that grey area between starting college and checking off the course requirements for your diploma, you might be searching for a little guidance on which of your interests should become your official college major. If you're open to it, the stars in the sky can be as good a guide as any. Of course, everyone chooses their area of study for different reasons. We wouldn't suggest that every single Gemini ought to major in communications because they're all nosy chatterboxes. Rather, we'd make that recommendation since quite a few Gems possess the traits we already associate with, say, a successful journalist. If you're a Gemini who'd rather spend their class time in a lab, that's totally fine, too. Ahead, we've selected the perfect major for every sign. Read on to discover yours, and don't stress if it isn't what you had in mind — whether you totally identify with your sign's major or not, the universe won't let you stay undeclared forever. Try reading for your rising and moon signs to broaden your options. RECOMENDED BOOK : The Twelve Faces of the Goddess: Transform Your Life with Astrology
Aries Law You love to win and you don't mind if you bruise a few egos along the way — and yes, when we say "you" we mean both full-fledged lawyers and Aries who have yet to pass the bar. You aren't afraid to go up against a formidable opponent and, when the occasion calls for it, you can verbally spar with a swiftness and an accuracy unseen elsewhere in the Zodiac. Taurus Civil Engineering A deliberate earth sign like yours needs a line of study that's firmly grounded in the real, tangible world — and entering the field of engineering will allow you to learn with your hands, through firsthand experiences. Plus, as a sign that deeply values security and comfort, we know that the buildings of the future will be in good hands (hooves?). Gemini Communications With messenger planet Mercury as your ruling planet, this major recommendation might seem a little obvious, but you've got the skills to back it up, Gemini. Your naturally curious, even tireless pursuit of information (okay, "gossip" might be a more accurate word) is a tendency that becomes a true advantage when it comes to succeeding as a journalist, writer, or PR director. Cancer Psychology Cancers get a lot of flak for being "emotional" and "sensitive," but it's often the case that Crabs actually use their emotional sensitivity to understand the feelings of others. That sort of empathy makes you a great listener, one who not only nods along as someone else talks, but helps determine the next steps that person should take. Leo Theatre The entertainment world is always looking for the next Madonna, Whitney Houston, or Charlize Theron — and it just so happens all three of those stars are Leos. You've already got the confidence, magnetism, and raw star power to shoot straight to the A-list, but it won't hurt to have improv 101 and Stanislavski's "system" in your repertoire, too. Virgo Pre-Med Your connection to health and wellness is deeply rooted in your sign's DNA, Virgo, but it isn't just your association with the healing Mother Nature that makes you a natural for the med school track. You're organized, precise, and more than capable of coping with an unknowable amount of stress. We can't promise you'll breeze through your program, but you're starting with a slight leg up. Libra Philosophy Your sign loves to view an issue from all angles, Libra. How else can you know exactly how you feel about it? Sometimes dismissed as indecisive, you actually just don't mind dwelling in grey areas — a rare trait, indeed. You'll feel right at home swapping thoughts on free will and redefining the meaning of justice with a class of fellow thinkers. Scorpio Photography You might as well have a camera around your neck as you go through the world and keenly observe everything in it, Scorp. You have a knack for seeing the narrative in two people's body language and you never shy away from taking the long way home if it means seeing something new — or maybe something you were never meant to see. Time to put your unique perspective on film. Sagittarius Education Even if you were the class clown growing up (as many Sags were), you have a professorial side that's ready to be freed, dear Archer. You're constantly inspired to pursue new academic ventures, whether on Duolingo or in a random section of your library, and there's nothing better than igniting that same desire in others. Getting on a track to teach the next generation that learning really is cool is the best way to do that. Capricorn Business A Capricorn business major? We know, groundbreaking. But when we say that you're made for an MBA, it's not because your sign fits the power suit and power stare mold of CEOs past. It's because you have the ambition and work ethic to top those who came before you — and with a little coaxing, we might get you to share your grand vision of a company with the rest of us. . Aquarius Astrophysics The truth is out there — and you're probably the one who's going to find it, Aquarius. Your ruling element, air, lends you an inquisitive outlook, while your ruling planet, Uranus, gives you a taste for the future and the unknown advances and discoveries that come along with it. These influences combine to create the mind of a scientist — one that might discover a new habitable solar system. Pisces Art History As the sign of the Zodiac with possibly the most vivid imagination, you firmly believe you can only understand a person by learning how they express themselves. That's where your inherent attraction to art history comes in — you've got the patience and creative eye needed to plumb the depths of an entire historical period's art canon to find the major themes and patterns therein.
