give me more Love, or more disdain;
the torrid, or the frozen zone
bring equal ease unto my paine:
the temperate affords me none;
either extreme, of love or hate,
is sweeter than a calme estate

I think Aries don't like to have a boss, period. Remember, Aries is the first sign of the zodiac, so it does not take orders or direction well. It wants to be the boss.

If you have his exact date of birth, why don't you check what kind of aspects his chart makes to yours, even if you don't have his exact time of birth? If he has Saturn or Pluto making an unfriendly angle to any of your planets, I would advice you to move on. And with Saturn, if he even has Saturn conjunct any of your planets, that means he has much power over you. If so, I would move on.

I once had an employee who had Saturn smack on my Venus, and no matter how bad she was, and she was bad, I couldn't get rid of her. She was taking credit for my work and getting away with it. It was unbelievable.

Sadly towards the end of my time at my job - I think he developed some strange crush on me which really creeped me out. He said something to the effect that I was his sunshine. Ugh. He then wanted to know who I was outside of work and that he hated the company policy that was in place. (he is old enough to be my father.....ugh)

So my experience was a mixed thing. Though I'm very gald I'm away from there.

He called me sometime after I left and wanted to go for coffee. I found a way to really drive him away to the point where he doesn't bother with me any more. (I had a middle of the night emergency and had to go to the hospital - I was trying to find a ride to the hospital and an ambulance ride costs $500. He was one of the people I called and said to take an ambulance because he didn't want to take me in)......and that was the end of him.....

While I don't consider myself a hard person to work with of for, I do have a strong work ethic but I don't expect people to live up to the standards I have for myself, because frankly sometimes I go above and beyond-I've passed out from being sick at two different jobs and only stated I needed to leave after that. I would never expect someone who was obviously sick to stay at work or come in. But I would like to note, my supervisors at the time did not suggest I go home even though my being sick was obvious. One even made me wait until someone came in to cover for me.

What I do expect is that people pull their own weight and when you have this criteria you're seen as a hard a** or a bit*h, depending on your station in the company.

If you want a boss who will let you slack and do your own thing, find one that likes to be kissed up to and start smooching-they aren't hard to find. If you want to do your job then find a boss who appreciates it. These people are harder to find-I've only had three out of many.

There, I feel better now.

Personally, I see nothing to be proud of in showing up at work when you should be in bed and send my staff home if this is the case. Number one, you can never expect 100% performance from someone who is not well and mistakes that could be made might cost a lot of money.(Assuming we are talking about professional positions) Number two, if it's contageous, it's simply not fair to other employees.

I don't know why you are skeptical about my having a bunch of crappy bosses and only three good ones. Yes, I have had many jobs. Most I ended up leaving because I reached my breaking point with all of the b.s. (Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck are in charge of many companies) A few I left for more money. Of the three enviornments I enjoyed working in: One was a mom and pop smoke shop. Unfortunately I had a car accident that kept me from working for a while and they had to replace me-which is understandable. The other was a convenient store. The boss, who was a Libra, was very good to her people and everyone liked and respected her and would bend over backwards for her and she would do the same for us. The company ran her out because she was people and not company, they replaced her with a grade a certified bit*h, who was an Aquarius, which is a sign I genreally like but she was afflicted somewhere. The turnover rate went from almost non exsistent to everyone walking out in one day. I was the last to go when I called out sick for the first time in over a year after working a double for her a month earlier because someone called out and she wouldn't have been able to take her trip she had planned if someone wouldn't work it. When I called out, which happened to be the day her crew said goodbye (unknown to me) she chewed me a new one over the phone, so I added in my goodbye. You could say she was under stress and I should have understood but you know there was a reason everyone walked out.

The thrid and where I am presently employed is another mom and pop shop where I'm shown respect and appreciation. I even got a substantial bonus during the holidays for helping out during a trying time at work.

There's always money at stake in any business, but I don't consider the size of the company or the reputation to qualify as professional. When a business is run by someone who treats people like human beings-that is being professional.

Elana I don't think your problem with your boss has anything to do with his being a Virgo. He has issues and probably needs some psychological help.
