The characters and their star signs, are they suited?

Hi everyone, 

I've been searching through the archives of both this and the OT
list to see if there had been any discussions about possible star 
signs of the characters, but sadly without any luck. If anyone does 
know of any and could direct me i'd be really grateful.

I'd like to examine the star signs of the characters and how well 
they are suited to them, and try to match up other characters with 
star signs people think they are suited to.

Now of course, we know that Harry is a Leo (31/7), Hermione is a 
Virgo (19/9) and Ron a Pisces (1/3). But as far as I recall we 
haven't learnt the birthdays of any of the other characters. Of 
course as these (as far as I am aware) are the only dates JKR has 
released they may have their own significance and have nothing to do 
with star signs. 

To me however, Hermione seems the perfect Virgo. Virgos are earth 
signs which means they are honest, reliable and down-to-earth, they 
like facts, both analysing them and challenging them, and are known 
perfectionists. They like lists, order and can sometimes be accused 
of nit-picking. They are studious and hard working and can be 
inclined to spend there time fussing over this or that. Now, if JK 
didn't pick Hermiones birthday intentionally it was a really lucky 
guess imho.

On the flip side Harry isn't the typical Leo, although he does have 
some of the Lion's traits. Leos are the ultimate attention seekers, 
not Harry at all. They are showmen, outgoing and idealistic, with a 
self-confidence that can be mistaken for arrogance by some. However, 
they are natural leaders, faithful, warm-hearted and loyal. 
JKR has said that she gave Harry her birthday because she felt that 
there was a shortage of famous people with this birthday. So if he 
doesn't fit all the characteristics we know its because she wasn't 
thinking of his birthday in terms of star signs. 

Then of course there's Ron. Who again is a bit of a question mark. 
Pisces are intuitive, sensitive, imaginative and sympathetic. But 
they can also be vague, secretive and easily-led. There is of course 
much more to say about Pisceans, but I won't put it down here as it 
is neither particularly like nor un-like Ron. Pisceans are also said 
to be very spiritual. Perhaps this could support Dumbledore as a 
Pisces and with it REDHEAD ALWAYS?

Does anyone have any suggestions as to which signs they think 
characters are (more)suited to? 

I'd like to nominate Sirius (and to a lesser extent, possibly Snape 
and Draco I think) as Scorpios.  Scorpios are the most intense and 
powerful signs of the zodiac. That power can be used fly like an 
eagle or be underhanded. They always get what they want no matter how 
long they have to wait, even revenge. Scorpios possess an extremely 
loyal streak and may exert themselves to extremes to prove their 
worth and love to family and friends.  They are emotional people that 
can be quick tempered and who make for terrible enemies. They try to 
protect this emotional side of themselves by becoming secretive about 
their personal life.  As a fixed sign they can be rather stubborn and 
resistant to imposed changes. 

I would also like to suggest Neville as a contender for Taurus, 
especially after his character development in OoP. Taureans often 
portray characteristics of extreme determination and stregth of will. 
They will willingly and loyally follow a leader who they trust They 
are stable, balanced, and lovers of peace. They are faithful and 
generous. In the main Taureans are gentle, even-tempered,good-natured 
and slow to anger. If they are provoked however, they can explode 
into violent outbursts. I think this is very much like Neville and he 
was the first person I thought of when I read this description (taken 
from The Practical Astrologer - David Christie-Murray).

I'd love to hear peoples thoughts on the characters star signs, of 
course including those I haven't mentioned. Hope i'm not going over 
old ground or rambled to much. Also, sorry to the mods if this should 
be on the OT list, I wasn't sure. 

Regards,
 Rachel
