These air signs are great listeners and are able to connect with others in a meaningful way. "This can lead to success in negotiations, diplomacy, and the arts, as they are able to express themselves in a way that resonates with others," Rachel Clare, a professional astrologist at Mystic Sense, tells Best Life.
4 | Gemini

These people possess instinctual charm and intelligence which allows them to effortlessly network, whether for personal or professional gain. Clare explains that the air element is responsible for their intellectual curiosity and imaginative nature, which allows them to approach problems from a unique and innovative angle.
These combined factors not only make Gemini someone who excels at forming relationships but someone who will shatter glass ceilings as well.
3 | Scorpio
GaudiLab/ShutterstockScorpios are a force to be reckoned with in any facet of life. They may be quiet and keep their thoughts to themselves but you should never mistake those traits for failure. “Scorpios are the zodiac's power sign, and as such, they possess a strong will and a concentrated mind together with a natural air of mystery and ambition that frequently results in tremendous success,” Newman says.
These water signs achieve things in the traditional sense and will always stick to the things they know work best. They have an unwavering work ethic that can’t be matched as well as high emotional intelligence that can help them astutely understand the words and actions of others.
2 | Aries
BalanceFormCreative/ShutterstockAries are dynamic, confident, and known to be the trailblazers of the zodiac. Ruled by Mars, the planet of action and assertiveness, they’re often rightfully associated with success. This gives them the courage and energy to take on challenges and brush off criticism, Clare says.
As a fire sign, Aries is also bold and uses that to their advantage. “They are not afraid to take risks and aren't satisfied unless they are making strides in whatever it is they choose to do,” she says.
