They fight for justice.
By Christine Schoenwald — Written on Nov 19, 2019
After law school, becoming a prosecutor means you must have a deep understanding of human nature and what motivates others. You also must be able to recognize the needs of the public, and have the wisdom to determine the best course of action.
Astrology often has something to do with where our talents, skills, and abilities. To be a prosecutor, one needs to be compassionate, fair, and have excellent communication, research, and listening skills. They need to be able to see through the lies and get to the truth of every case, showing empathy for their clients who commit crimes.
But who are the zodiac signs who make the best prosecutors? A deep understanding of the law is crucial, but so is being able to effectively manage projects, having the ability to solve problems, and being a talented negotiator. Fairness isn’t always the end result of a court case, but a good prosecutor usually works towards achieving it.
Most lawyers have to work their way up, and even when established, they still work incredibly long hours. Not all prosecutors love the law or feel it’s their duty to fight for justice, but it certainly doesn’t hurt.
1. LEO (July 23 - August 22)
Leos make excellent prosecutors because of their fantastic people skills. When you work in the legal system, you work with people — your firm, your client, the opposing counsel, and everybody in the courtroom. Lawyers work on behalf of people and the decisions they make affect lives.
Leos are likable, persuasive, and have the ability to read people. They're able to observe the reactions of the jurors and the truthfulness of the witnesses. Without great people skills, they wouldn't be able to figure out the best approach for achieving their desired outcome.
2. VIRGO (August 23 - September 22)
The law is one place that Virgos can put their amazing analytical skills to good use. Virgos are able to look at any situation and consider all the points of view.
A Virgo prosecutor is able to take in huge amounts of information, process it, put it in order, and, if need be, change course. No matter how prepared a lawyer might be, there are always going to be surprises and curveballs, and Virgo is able to problem-solve on the spot.
3. CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 19)
A good prosecutor needs perseverance, and that's a quality that Capricorns are famous for having. Court cases can drag on and an attorney needs to be able to keep working even when things appear to be hopeless.
They have to put in long hours, research new directions to take the case, and keep fighting for their client. While much of the work is cerebral, it also takes its toll physically. Capricorns are strong, resilient, and are able to keep fighting.
4. SCORPIO (October 23 - November 21)
Scorpios have many admirable qualities, but the ones that help them to be great prosecutors are their focus, passion, and their ability to negotiate. Once a Scorpio is committed to a case, they'll stop at nothing to get a verdict in their favor.
They stay on track and it's very difficult to distract them. This could be why they're great negotiators, as their aim is to make sure all parties feel a fair and reasonable outcome was achieved. It doesn't matter if the opposing counsel has outrageous demands, because they stay focused.
5. GEMINI (May 21 - June 20)
Geminis are not only great communicators, they're incredible listeners. They don't miss important information because they're not paying attention, and tend to pick up on things that may not even have been said.
They can gather a lot of information from the gestures and body language of the witnesses, and can read between the lines of expert testimony. In addition, Geminis are likable and can get a jury on their side through humor and personality.
6. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 - December 21)
Sagittarians are extremely intelligent, compassionate, and are seekers of truth and justice. A Sagittarius will fight for their client even when there might not be a huge payday at the end of the case. They're confident and are good with people so juries trust and believe them.
They also think outside the box and come up with solutions to problems others might miss. Sagittarians seem to instinctually know the most appropriate actions to take.
