Abstract: Personality traits and zodiac signs often align, one’s characteristics are similar to the history of astrology. People’s belief often times influence their behavior/actions, they believe that certain actions are a description to what it means to be a Pisces, Leo or a Virgo. This research is being conducted to get a clear understanding if personality traits are a reflection to the astrology of one’s birth date and if it plays a role in how one conducts themselves. It is believed that if one has known knowledge of astrology then it influences their judgement/opinion on the similarity of personality traits to zodiac signs. Do zodiac signs predicts certain behaviors or qualities one possesses or is it the belief in astrology that influences those personality traits. The focus of the research is to get a group of participants to take a survey answering questions about the type of person they think they are and comparing it to the traits of zodiac sign to see if they align with one another. The data collected from these finding would allow us to see if there is a distinct link to one’s personality traits and what astrology says about people being born at a certain time on a particular date.
