What Major You Should Declare Based On Your Zodiac Sign

Having trouble deciding which major you should declare? Your zodiac sign may give you an idea of what major may be good for you, based on the characteristics of your sign!

1. Aquarius-Sociology

The typical Aquarius is someone that likes to keep to themselves, is incredibly passionate about their beliefs, super-intelligent, and is concerned with matters of equality for all. Therefore, the major you should declare, Aquarius, is sociology! Sociology is focused on all the facets of human society including how society came to be, the structure of said society, as well as how society functions. This is perfect for Aquarius because not only will their intellect be stimulated by the course material, but also their need for equality will be met. One of the main goals of sociologists is to better human society based on what they learn, and equality is something that is sought out in this field of work.

2. Pisces-Film and Photography

Pisces are gentle by nature. Usually, they are wise beyond their years, sensitive, emotional, get along with everyone, and love a good old-fashioned hobby. If you are a Pisces, the major you should declare is Film and Photography! Your love of hobbies usually means that you are multifaceted, you are good at a lot of things which is a great way to be in the film industry. Your ability to be amiable and work with many different types of people will be incredibly useful in the workplace!

I may be a little bias as a Taurus myself with an English degree, but the major you should declare is English Literature! As a lover of romance and the arts, this is right up your alley, Taurus. You are a bit stubborn, but pride yourself on being responsible and love consistency. The stable structure of literature courses, reading homework, and class discussion, will give you the consistent routine you crave. Your responsibility will be necessary to complete all of the assigned reading, though you will most likely not need any further motivation than your love of books.

5. Gemini-Business

As a Gemini, you are curious, extroverted, a people person, you love to travel, motivated to succeed, and very adaptable to any situation. Therefore, business is the major you should declare! As a business major, you will need to interact with many people, adapt to new locations as there is usually some travel involved depending on your future position, and be motivated to pitch projects. Your curiosity will allow you to dive deep into your work and the natural drive you have within you will be useful as well.

6. Cancer-Creative Writing

Cancers are usually imaginative, creative, love helping others, tend to lead with emotion rather than practicality, and avoid conflict at all costs. The major you should declare, Cancer, is creative writing! This major will allow you to take a deep dive into your imagination and let you unleash all of your creativity.

You were made for the spotlight! Your ability to exude confidence and face challenges will aid you in learning complicated choreography or a lengthy, emotional monologue. Your willful nature will no doubt make you incredibly convincing in portraying any character you may snag the role of, and loyalty to your fellow theatre students will allow you to connect with the cast as they’ll see they can trust you.

8. Virgo-Chemistry

As a Virgo, you are naturally hardworking, have a very analytical way of thinking, admire cleanliness is all facets of life, are practical, and goal-oriented. You keep your eye on the prize, Virgo, which is why Chemistry is the major you should declare!
