Discover Which Game of Thrones Creature Lurks Inside Based on Your Astrological Sign

05/04/2019 - 05:00 PM

In the perilous and unforgiving land of Westeros, even the most fantastical creatures [1] are caught in the crossfire of the war for the Iron Throne [2]. As the Children of the Forest [3] await the end to an age-old battle, White Walkers [4] cast winter across the Seven Kingdoms, affecting humans, giants, warlocks, Faceless Men [5] alike.

While the Starks are known for their loyal direwolves [6] and Daenerys Targaryen [7] is known for her powerful dragons, which Game of Thrones [8] creature do you embody? Are you adaptable and selfless like a wight or more sensitive and imaginative like one of the Children of the Forest? Love by Luna [9] astrologist Kyle Thomas broke it down for us, so now you can discover your Game of Thrones creature personality. But, in the end, only the stars will tell.

Aries (March 21-April 19): The Dragon

"Like the Aries here on Earth, the Aries in Westeros would also be a Fire Sign. They would be represented by the dragon [11], an emblem of power, magic, and mystery," Thomas said. "Aries are known as leaders, and with the breath of fire, grace of flight, and tremendous hunger for more, the Aries dragon would be able to stun the world with awe and fear. Dragons are also intrinsically linked to magic in Westeros, and it is said that if given enough food and freedom, they will never stop growing. Their hunger for blood cannot be stopped. This, too, embodies Aries traits, as this passionate sign always burns with the desire for more."

Taurus (April 20-May 20): The Weirwood Tree

"Taurus is the first Earth Sign, and no other symbol relates more to these strong, sturdy, and resilient people than the weirwood tree of Westeros. With blood-red leaves and sap, as well as bone-white trunks, these trees have a deep connection to the Old Gods. Worshipped by the Children of the Forest, the free folk, and descendants of the First Men, weirwood trees can live forever if undisturbed," Thomas said.

"Children of the Forest often carved faces into these trees, which would weep with sap and would then transform them into heart trees where people could pray. Because trees do not understand time, this ability to link the past to the future is yet another powerful association with Taurus. Tauruses will devote their entire beings to what they love and will firmly plod along, allowing nothing to sway them from their path."

Gemini (May 21-June 20): The Three-Eyed Raven

"Gemini is the first Air Sign, deeply connected to the intellect, mind, and communication. This closely associates them with the symbol of the three-eyed raven [12]. With the ability to connect with the magic of Greensight [13], the ability to perceive future, past, or contemporary but distant events in dreams, Gemini crave knowledge and bigger horizons. Linked to prophecy, telepathy, and speaking through dreams, again, we can note how the three-eyed raven embodies Gemini's natural gift for connection."

Cancer (June 21-July 22): The Warg

"When it comes to Cancer, they all have a natural ability to go deep into their emotions and perceive important and intuitive truths. This is what connects them to the sensitive and profound wargs of Westeros [14]. Wargs are people who possess the ability to enter the minds of animals, as well as see through their eyes and control their actions. When warging into an animal, these people completely release control of their physical bodies and enter a spiritual plane. Like wargs, Cancer are in tune with vibrations at all times, making them one of the most connected signs to the energy around them."

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): The Red Priestess

"Leo, the mighty lion, is deeply connected to light, pride, and power. These associations also connect this mighty sign to the symbol of a Red Priestess. In Westeros and Essos, a Red Priestess [15] abides by the religion of R'hllor [16], the Lord of Light. Gifted with many abilities, such as divination, shadowbinding, resurrection, glamour magic, longevity, poison resistance, and cold resistance, their powers make them stand apart from all others in the world of Westeros, in the same way Leo stand apart from the zodiac here because they are ruled by the Sun. Last, with a deep connection to blood magic, the Red Priestess also reflects the mighty Leo's never-ending hunger as well."

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The Direwolf

"As the second Earth sign here on our planet, Virgo are all about routine, growth, and harvest. Whereas Taurus represent physical life enduring endlessly as the weirwood tree, Virgo's symbol in Westeros is the direwolf. This is because Virgo is known for their incredible ability to build a clan and take care of all the important details for everyone to be happy and safe around them. Like the packs of direwolves [17] in Westeros, Virgo makes sure no one is left behind. Direwolves are larger versions of wolves, but have much greater strength and speed. However, while mortal, direwolves ensure the continuity of life and their species by caring for one another. This, in essence, embodies the tender heart of Virgo on Earth as well."

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): The Wights

"Libra, a sign of flexibility, adaptability, and partnership, enjoys the playground of the mind. Libras here on Earth often closely associate with their relationships, and at times, can become codependent within them because of their inherent desire for union and marriage. Deeply loyal in true love, they at times can do the heavy lifting in their relationships and may become submissive in order to make their lover happy. During these times, they become lost in a reflection of who their person wants them to be. Because of this, Libras in Westeros are represented by wights [18]."

"Wights, the army of the dead reanimated by White Walkers, are the perfect reflection of what their partners want them to be – at the complete expense of the self. While this may appear weak, it is not. Wights are nigh-indestructible, powerful forces that crush anything that stands before themselves and their other half."

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): The Warlock

"Scorpio, one of the signs most associated with magic and hidden realms, is a Water Sign here on Earth. This gifts them with tremendous intuition as well as persuasive powers, as they intrinsically know how to connect with the people around them. Often master strategists, Scorpio will do what is necessary to get what they want. This is what connects them to a powerful order of magic practitioners in Westeros: the warlocks. Known in Westeros to gather at the House of the Undying [19], warlocks have risen into the elite through their influence and mysticism. The full extent of a warlock's power is not fully known, just as the true depth of a Scorpio's passion and emotion is nearly limitless."

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): The Shadow

"Sagittariuses, elusive and filled with expansive knowledge and speed, are a Fire Sign. They have a natural ability to not only adapt to their surroundings, but to easily move rapidly to new horizons. Sagittarius, of all the signs, is hardest to hold down. This is what links them to the mysterious and mystical Shadows of Westeros. As a magical creature believed to be created by the Lord of Light, worshippers of R'hllor employ both witchcraft and blood to create them. Gifted with intangibility, speed, and deadly weaponry, Shadows undertake dangerous missions on their masters' behalves. Like Sagittariuses of Earth, they're always ready for an adventure, even if the stakes are high."

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): The White Walker

"As the final Earth Sign of the zodiac, Capricorn embodies the vision to fulfil all of life's ambitions. Their slow and steady ascent on their path is practically guaranteed, and with a focus on icy logic rather than tender emotion, Capricorns will get what they want. These traits link them deeply with the White Walkers [20] of Westeros, a powerful and nigh-unstoppable force as inevitable as death is to the mortal."

"Originally created by the Children of the Forest to fight the First Men, the White Walkers broke free from their masters and became the most feared of creatures. Their connection to the life cycle and death completes the arc of the Earth Signs of Westeros, particularly because their ultimate dominion is likely to never fully be stopped."

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The Faceless Man

"Aquarius is an Air Sign here on Earth and is always related to genius, vision, and the future. With highly developed intellects, they are also connected to the global community of humanity as well. Because of these associations, their zodiac symbol in Westeros is that of a Faceless Man. The Faceless Men are servants of the Many-Faced God, a god of death who is unknowingly worshipped by all religions in the world in the form of one god or another. Aquarius has an ability to understand others, which allows them to also shift when needed and look to future horizons. Also, by seeing that many universal ideas exist, just as the Faceless Men see a Many-Faced God, Aquarians can break the mould of society altogether."

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): The Child of the Forest

"Mystical, imaginative, and deeply sensitive, Pisces are the final zodiac sign here on Earth that links life with the great spiritual beyond. All Pisces have a natural ethereal quality to them, as well as very developed intuitive and emotional resources. Because of these special attributes, the symbol of Pisces in Westeros is the Children of the Forest. This mystical race worshipped the countless and nameless spirits of every tree, rock, and stream, understanding that life exists beyond just the physical. The magic of the Children of the Forest cannot be ignored, as they have set in motion the future of the entire Westeros world."
