January 19, 2021
Everywhere on the internet, there are many posts on what kind of person you are based on your zodiac sign. Although it may not seem much, surprisingly these posts can actually be fun and interesting when you know your zodiac sign, and the post is about a topic that interests you or is interesting.
In total there are 12 zodiac signs:
Aries: March 21-April 19
Taurus: April 20- May 20
Gemini: May 21-June 20
Cancer: June 21-July 22
Leo: July 23-August 22
Virgo: August 23-September 22
Libra: September 23-October 22
Scorpio: October 23-November 21
Sagittarius: November 22-December 21
Capricorn: December 22-January 19
Aquarius: January 20-February 18
Pisces: February 19-March 20
The dates can be slightly different depending on the website, but for the most part, they are all pretty similar dates are based on the website Astrology Zodiac signs.
Each sign is then split into 4 different elements which include: fire, earth, water, and air. The fire signs include Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius (Elite Daily). The earth signs include Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn (Elite Daily). The water signs include Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces (Elite Daily). Finally, the air signs include Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius (Elite Daily). Even among these elemental groups the signs also have their own role being: cardinal, fixed, and mutable.
The cardinal signs-Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn, are initiators of change and tend to hold leadership qualities influencing other zodiac signs (Your Tango). The fixed signs-Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius, and Taurus, work calmly and work with steadiness, usually known to be determined and orderly (astrology). The mutable signs-Sagittarius, Pisces, Gemini, and Virgo, mediate change and are described to be assistants through transitions or present diplomatic qualities (Live About). Despite all these confusing things about the zodiac signs, all someone needs to know is what their zodiac sign is to understand what a video or post is talking about.
On social media platforms like TikTok, people post videos saying things like, “This is the type of princess dress you would wear depending on your zodiac sign.” The video would then proceed to show different dresses, with people commenting under the videos either expressing their amazement or slight disappointment. Even among Harry Potter fans, the trend is very popular with zodiac signs being assigned to the different houses and roles. Personally, it is a very fun trend to look at when you see how people view your zodiac sign. It is also exciting to see what kind of dress or even what kind of outfits would suit you!
As a person who loves this zodiac trend, Norah Li (10) exclaimed, “I feel like the zodiac trend is fun and popular because people can feel like they are part of a group. The posts are also relatable or funny and they are just fun to share and connect with other people!”
Despite all this huge chunk of information about zodiac signs, there are still more details on exactly what kind of characteristics or personalities each sign has. Although there is no need to go into detail about what kind of characteristics these zodiacs have, it is an interesting hobby to have and an interesting topic to discuss with anyone!

Super interesting! I love learning more about zodiacs and how accurate they can be. Although they’re sometimes broad descriptions, it is still very fun to play with the idea.
I’ve always found astrology super interesting but at times I question how true and accurate the descriptions of our signs are. It’s crazy how the sun and planet placements of when we were born can effect our different traits. Really interesting article!
I love astrology and I feel very connected to where it roots from. The position of the stars, planets, moon, and the sun. It emphasizes the balance between the many celestial beings and is very interesting to look more in too. I myself am a Virgo. This article was a great introduction into astrology and provided many fun ways one can get involved in astrology.

Great article Eunice! It looks here that I’m a Taurus, an earth sign, which should mean that I work calmly and in an ordered, determined manner. I’d definitely feel that the Zodiac traits are quite broad, though.
I found this super interesting and informative how you incorporated many aspects of the zodiacs.
