Tricky question.What I've observed is people tend to hire those whose chart resemble their own. #6 in the lifepath position are great at handling responsibility. 1,5,7 chafe under direct supervision. 1s; 1st, 10, 19, 28 prefer to be in the lead, or independent. They can be a handful if not given some sort of autonomy. Also true for 1 lifepath. They also work well with other 1s who know how to handle 'em. IP: Logged |

I've always thought to look at the sixth house! But I think you could look at the first house, sixth and tenth. I work in retail so the first house is really what comes through when I first help customers. The sixth house is what comes through in terms of coworkers and the tenth house with management. You can look at the rulers and planets in the houses. I'm sure you know that stuff  IP: Logged |

I would look for things to rule people out who probably wouldn't work well within the office environment: Lots of Aqua / Uranus going on
Uranus opposition MC
Planetary ruler of H6 with difficult aspects
Difficult Pluto aspects, especially Sun squaring Pluto You could also look at it more broad / generic. Example : If I had two candidates equally qualified and neither had aspects in the natal that made the office environment a challenge, I would look at elements. If it were one with lots of Fire element and one with lots of Earth, I would obviously choose the Earth heavy person for stability. If they were both Earth dominant, I would see if one had more fixed signs (ex: Taurus) over say the mutable Virgo. Lots to consider! ------------------

Try looking at the composite of the team. When someone new joins the team take a look at the multi-composite for everyone on the team. IP: Logged |

That entirely depends on what business you are in. And PlutoSurvivor is right -- it depends on how they mesh with others, so that is a synastry matter. ------------------

Where I live, asking a potential candidate for their birthday is illegal. Considered discrimination. Lol How do you manage to get around this?IP: Logged |

^ It's legal to ask them for ID though (driver's licence or passport)... which will have their birthday on it. IP: Logged |

I think you should hire someone based on what they can "bring" in the organization, rather than by chart position alone.A general work culture that is too cold and rigid with low morale,may benefit greatly from employees who will lift the morale and warm up the environment. A general work culture that is "safe" and overly self -assured,may benefit greatly from an employee who comes in to "shake things up" and have everyone "wake up" etc. I think it's important to consider what the overall goals of the organization are. You may find that the workplace is so dynamic and ever changing, that an employee who was hired 6 months ago may have been a great addition according to the quota 6 moths ago. But the same quota may not work for the current hiring decision etc. IP: Logged |

Thank you all for the input. I am a Quality Assurance Manager for a company that conducts background checks for inquiring employers, so the type of people we look for MUST be honest with a good set of morals (we're dealing with personal identifiable information, such as social security numbers, and they could easily have their identity's stolen). I find that a lot of the people I have fired or have thought about firing are the lazy people who call out for inappropriate reasons, cheat the system that we have built during competition hours when we give monetary awards to the person with the highest numbers, etc. So, I am really just looking for people with specific traits such as honesty, being detail oriented, good writing skills and phone skills, etc. It's harder than you'd think to find people with these skills. We have one employee who does a great job but is constantly competing with her coworkers to be the favorite employee, and in turn acts pretty spoiled at times. She was the only person who threw a fit when we told everyone that they can't use cell phones in the work room. I have not hired anyone based on astrology, I'm just curious as to what i would look for if i were to. I have looked at some of our employees charts who allowed me too, and the good ones share some common placements/aspects. IP: Logged |

Yes but if they have come to disrupt the organisation, for example, it wouldn't be good, would it?Perhaps do a synastry with the company chart?

That depends on what the definition of "disruption" is? The employee could come in and breathe new life into the organization. IP: Logged |

Yea, I agree with Aries.I mentioned in another thread I'm working in Organizational Psychology and astrology surprisingly came up with my new boss. She asked me if I was a Libra, I'm not. I explained to her I'm a Venus in Libra in the 6th house so I very heavily express Libran attributes at work and that was what she was picking up. I also explained to her my Venus is probably conjunct her Sun and I also have Pluto in the 6th and I joked saying as far as direct reports go she hit the jackpot with me because of those placements. She joked and said if she should start looking up natal charts of people we hire/consult. I said no no no. Astrology is already complex enough in 1 on 1 synastry. There is absolutely no way you'll be able to predict how a worker reacts in a new environment. There are too many factors. Even if you looked into their natal chart you probably would interpret poorly, assume wrongly, and plain out be completely blind to all the possibilities of dynamic reality. Astrology is like a flash light that lets you navigate a dark room but don't mistake it for a light switch. Just because you read the persons chart before you hire them doesn't mean you have a good understanding. Transits, synastry with countless other employees, progression, whatever, will all blindside you. IP: Logged |

If I was a boss, I would want workers who would obey my orders. Not start taking over my position!
