Since Star Trek characters have become such well know archetypes, I often describe the difference between the three fire signs this way: Aries: Ryker Leo: Kirk Sagitarrius: Janeway, Picard others: Virgo: 7 of 9, Spock, Geminii: Barkley Taurus: Velana Torres Aquarius: Tom, Nurse Chapel Scorpio: Wharf Libra: Conselor Troi Cancer: McCoy Pisces: ? Capricorn: ? Just curious what associations others might have. What do you think? ---

Capricorn: Probably Sulu. Virgo: Malcolm Reed and T’Pol Sagittarius: Trip We should really break them into five groups, for the five series (serieses? series’?). ---

No no no no no. Worf is definitely an Aries. Barkley’s OBVIOUSLY a Libra. Riker’s probably the Scorpio. Beverly Crusher - Capricorn. I’ll agree that Tom could be an Aquarian - and probably that little Skeezix guy, or whatever his name is (the cook on Voyager). The Ferengi bartender on DS9 is most likely Sagittarius. Picard is Cancer, Spock Virgo, Kirk Leo (two more agreements). Troi, Gemini. ---

Dear NoClueBoy: I DON’T believe in astrology. But on the other hand, I grew up in the seventies, when a lot of people did, and was always told that a person who repeatedly challenged others to guess his sign was a Sagittarius. So, just out of curiosity–are you a Sagittarius? Be honest now. ---

No Clue - you’re aggressive, bold and very good at getting people to tell you secrets. You like to have the inside scoop on people, and you like it even better if you can trick this info out of someone else. You do this without malice - you’re just playing. You’ve often been told that you have all the subtlety and diplomacy of an advancing Mack truck, but people put up with your forthrightness because they find you charming and self-deprecating. You stand out in a crowd, and not usually on purpose - you’re probably fairly striking in either looks or personality or both. And your lucky number is 8. ---

Yeay! Except for the 8 part. That was fun. 8? Really? I’ll have to try that out. ---

I doubt the constellations look the same from Vulcan and Bajor as they do from Earth. Even if I believed in astrology, the question would be inherently meaningless. If Worf has a sign, it’s probably something Klingon-specific, like “Thaptor, Thief of Kneecaps from Cowards.” ---
