Greetings, dear fellow Snakes! I'm so excited to have been put in charge of the monthly Horoscope section, and especially about the Marvel theme for this issue. It was so much fun getting to know the characters and figured out who best represented which sign, though it was surprisingly obvious (let's just say I've been into astrology for a while). I hope you enjoy discovering which Marvel hero (or in a few cases, villain) you are most like. In fact, I hope you became fascinated enough to explore the fandom yourself and find out how you and your character are similar and yet different. There's so much to enjoy and learn!
Aries (March 21st- April 19th) - Deadpool
This first pick was pretty obvious. Deadpool has so many of the traits of the Ram, both the good ones and the bad ones. He is extremely determined and surprisingly honest, but also moody, extremely impatient, sarcastic and aggressive. Most Arians are "out there", and he most definitely is that! No contest, easy pick.
Taurus (April 20th- May 20th) - Thor
An immensely strong person in both size and mentality, Thor also happens to be ruled by emotions which can lead to temper explosions at the least expected time. This is something which many Bulls can relate to, and it makes it rather easy to figure out where he truly belongs (I think the three Earth signs are the sweetest ones of all, by the way!).
Gemini (May 21st- June 20th) - Loki
Loki is the very embodiment of you clever people! He is extremely cunning and has a way with words which only a Gemini could possibly exhibit. And tell me honestly - Haven't you secretly dreamed of being Loki? We all have, but only you can come close so go for it and live the Loki life!
Cancer (June 21st- July 22nd) - Hawkeye
This one was a bit difficult to decide, but I've finally come to the conclusion that Hawkeye is a Cancer. He's a kind and compassionate guy who makes a great friend, but will stop at nothing to get the job done, including sneak attacks and that sort of thing. Being a Crab myself, I can definitely relate. He is one of us, for sure!
Leo (July 23rd- August 22nd) - Captain America
All signs have their bad points but this is definitely one of the better ones. Leos tend to be stubborn, but they are also extremely optimistic and want to believe that people are basically good. This is the very embodiment of what Captain America represents (by the way, BOTH of my parents were Leos so I am very familiar with the traits of this sign).
Virgo (August 23rd- September 22nd) - Black Widow
Black Widow is a kind hearted woman who is a friend to the end, but she also has a tendency to be rather cynical. This makes her easy to identify as a Virgo. I have a Virgo friend who is sweet but also the most cynical person on earth, so these traits are easy to identify. Trust her with your life, but be prepared to take the sarcasm!
Libra (September 23rd- October 22nd) - Daredevil
It cannot be argued that Daredevil has broken many laws, and yet he wants to do things the legal way. This shows that the scales of justice are very important to him, as they are most Libras. They may break the law, but they have their own reasons for doing so!
Scorpio (October 23rd- November 21st) - Winter Soldier
Nobody really knows much about the Scorpion until you step on it. That's what happened to the Winter Soldier. Now the worst of Scorpio has come out - He has become vengeful and sarcastic (as if the vengeful part weren't bad enough). He has definitely been through a lot, but I stand firm in my selection.
Sagittarius (November 22nd- December 21st) - Doctor Strange
One of the first thing we learn about Doctor Strange is his constant quest for knowledge and wisdom, which he absorbs like a sponge. These are things which draw the Centaur like a moth to the flame and help to identify his sign easily. Want further proof? He is also extremely stubborn and arrogant, and totally convinced that he is right all the time. If you were born under this sign, you may not want to see it, but I can assure you that others do. Don't worry, though, as your sign is one of the most intelligent of all.
Capricorn (December 22nd- January 19th) - Iron Man
There has been a lot of speculation over exactly what Iron Man's sign really is, but I have absolutely no doubt that he is a Capricorn. In fact, I'd say he is the very epitome of your sign, having a ton of money and being a bit on the secretive side at times. I truly can't visualize him as being anything else, so welcome him to your ranks, all you Goats out there.
Aquarius (January 20th- February 18th) - Black Panther
Black Panther is a relative newcomer to the Marvel Cinematic Fandom, but his zodiac sign was not hard to determine. He is a visionary who considers himself a master planner. He believes he can do anything he sets his mind to, and I believe that's true. Based on these factors, I think it is fairly obvious that he is a Water Bearer.
Pisces (February 19th- March 20th) - Hulk
Pisces are often sensitive, but very misinterpreted. They are known for being introverts who keep to themselves and tend to be extremely moody at times. (In other words, things can get seriously out of control!). I definitely believe that the Hulk is an excellent embodiment of the Fish and all its qualities.
I have many surprises in store for you for future editions, but you'll find those out when the time comes (I just love surprises, don't you?). In any case, stay tuned!
