I have always strongly identified myself as three things: a black person, a woman, and a gemini. Each of these categories has shaped my development as a business person, but I think much of my entrepreneurial success can be attributed to my astrological sign. Though most of us only read our horoscope for entertainment value, I think that many of us could benefit from a thorough astrological character assesment. By taking the time to better understand your astrological sign, you can learn alot about your strengths, weakness, and natural talents, which inturn will help you develop your skills as a business person.From a personal perspective I look at it this way, though most people think of gemini's as simply the sign of two sides, there is so much more that I have learned about myself through my sign. With a stronger sense of who I was astrologically speaking, I was able to turn a childhoold love of writing and art into a career of self-publishing and graphics design. It's in my best interest to take advantage of gemini strengths, like being very sociable, creative, good with my hands. Knowing these strengths gives you a sense of the activities you are naturally good at, as well as help you assess if your choice of business is something that is right for you. Once I understood that my creative skills exceded by skills as I sales person, I took the time to learn more about marketing and promotion. Knowing your weakness is equally important because you can effectively assess those aspects of your business that you need to work on. I've found that aquarius' are very charismatic sales people, and virgos are excellent at finding jobs and maintaining a steady influx of money. It just so happens that most of my friends are aquarius', virgos, and fellow geminis as we tend to compliment each others skills sets and share information from simoltaneously similar/different points of view.
