“What is your sign?” it is an almost ubiquitous question in the western world and it is not hard to see why. As well as being a useful organizing principle for guessing someone’s strongest character traits, it was also once regarded as real science. It was not until the adoption of the scientific method in the late 19th century that astrology was demoted to pseudoscience with no real relation to empirical science.
These days, astrology has become a conversational icebreaker rather than a guiding principle for someone’s life, but it’s still a fun way to meet someone … or even to design a fictional character. Even for the most staunch non-believers, astrology has some basic utility in creative work and is a tactic creators can use when writing characters. Although many characters are not given the exact birthday, it is still possible to group them into one sign or another based on their strongest personality traits.
