3 Zodiac Signs Who Always Self-Sabotage Their Careers

  • Updated

Leo

Leo, your sign is prone to self-sabotage in your professional life because you sometimes struggle with taking feedback. For you, your professional work is often an extension of your personality; you sometimes can’t help but take feedback as a personal attack, even when it isn’t. When you put your whole heart into your work and take pride in your accomplishments, your mind tries to shut down any outside criticism in order to protect your perception of yourself. In doing so, you also end up isolating yourself from professional connections and making yourself difficult to work with. 

Sagittarius

Sagittarius, it’s your love of freedom that can prevent you from flourishing in your career. You feel bogged down by anything that has a deadline attached to it—for you, scheduled work can sometimes feel like a slog. Responsibility isn’t always your sign’s strong suit, and you’re a sign who always wants to put your personal freedom and your life over your work. Still, Sagittarius, you struggle to find a balance that actually allows you to prioritize your career every once in a while. When you feel yourself getting overwhelmed in your professional life, you prefer to shut down and focus your energy towards your personal life instead. This act of self-sabotage often means you’re left scrambling to salvage what you can of your work, leading you to repeat the cycle all over again later on.

Gemini

Gemini, your professional self-sabotage is truly an accident. You’re a big fan of starting new projects—your mind wants constant entertainment for its endless curiosity, and you can’t help but be much more interested in new projects than old ones. Your work on a new project tends to be more dedicated and intense than on old ones, and sometimes your sign’s attempts to bounce around from commitment to commitment means nothing ends up getting done. You want to be successful at everything and love balancing dozens of personal and professional projects on top of each other, but this also means that it’s usually right when your career is going well that you start accidentally sabotaging all of your hard work.
