The whimsical, enchanting world of Harry Potter is not immune to the effects of astrology. Astrology tells us that one's future can be predicted based on the alignment of the stars and cosmos. What else can your zodiac sign tell us? Let's take a closer look.
Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry was founded by Godric Gryffindor, Rowena Ravenclaw, Helga Hufflepuff, and Salazar Slytherin. With the latter being misconstrued as evil (more on that later). We will attempt to match you to a Hogwarts house based on your horoscope sign. Which Harry Potter house are you based on your zodiac type?
12 Aries: Gryffindor
Aries is the first zodiac sign in the zodiacal year. It marks new beginnings. The enigmatic sorting hat has decided to place you in Gryffindor! Perhaps we can try to explain this one based on the characteristics of an Aries.
Aries individuals are courageous, confident, and enthusiastic—like members from the Gryffindor house. They are highly competitive and strive to be the best in both work and their social life. If you were born between March 21st and April 19th, your color is red, and you are Gryffindor!
11 Taurus: Hufflepuff
One of the least highlighted houses in the Harry Potter movies happens to be one of the most intriguing. Although little is known about this house, in comparison to others, the house is perceived as hard-working, dedicated, inclusive, and patient.
Taurus individuals fit the Hufflepuff house because of how responsible they are. Also, their patience is another characteristic that makes them well-suited for the house. Hufflepuff is where students go if they don't fit other houses, but the Taurus zodiac sign genuinely fits the house in the case.
10 Gemini: Ravenclaw
The Gemini zodiac sign represents people who are quick-witted and expressive. If you are a Gemini, your housemates would be people like Cho Chang and Luna Lovegood. The Ravenclaw house is host to the most talented witches and wizards in the classroom. They might struggle in real-world scenarios, but they show great potential nonetheless. Geminis learn quickly, even if they can be indecisive. You would be sorted into Ravenclaw!
9 Cancer: Slytherin
There is a stigma surrounding being placed in the Slytherin house, but it doesn't have to be that way. Draco Malfoy takes after his father in a lot of ways, but in the end, he chose to help Potter. Also, Draco Malfoy and his wife decided to raise their children without the ideals instilled by Draco's father, Lucius.
Let's dive into why the Cancer zodiac sign is affiliated with Slytherin. Slytherin witches and wizards are only evil most of the time. Both Cancer and Slytherin individuals can be manipulative, suspicious, and don't back down from a fight. With that said, they can also be loyal and imaginative.
8 Leo: Gryffindor
Leo is the quintessential Gryffindor for a plethora of reasons. For starters, the most apparent reason is that Gryffindor's and Leo's spirit animal is a lion. The lion signifies that Leos are warm-hearted, passionate, and bold risk-takers. They make excellent leaders and aren't afraid to meet new people. If you were born between July 23rd and August 22nd, you are a Gryffindor!
7 Virgo: Hufflepuff
The Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry Hufflepuff house is perhaps best-suited for the Virgo zodiac sign. Virgos and Hufflepuff individuals alike are hardworking. For them, it is all work and no play, which can get in the way of other aspects of their life. Loyalty is a huge part of being a Hufflepuff, as well as being a Virgo. If you were born between August 23rd and September 22nd, you are a Hufflepuff!
6 Libra: Ravenclaw
Sometimes being intelligent isn't always about book smarts.. Ravenclaw individuals show their smarts in a variety of ways. They can be fair-minded individuals who resolve disputes with fairness and impunity. Libra individuals represent sharp intellect and can be avid readers. If you were born between September 23rd and October 22nd, you are in the same house with Cho Chang, Professor Flitwick, Garrick Ollivander, and Luna Lovegood. You are Ravenclaw!
5 Scorpio: Slytherin
Although many bad things can be said about a Slytherin, they have positive qualities as well. Even if their intentions are ill-conceived, Slytherins can be resourceful and keep their friends close.
It's hard not to address the elephant in the room that is Slytherin's dark history. Hagrid once said, "There's not a single witch or wizard who went bad who wasn't in Slytherin." Scorpio individuals can be violent. At the same time, you shouldn't believe the stereotype that all Slytherins are evil. In fact, Salazar Slytherin and Godric Gryffindor were close friends. They both believed in the betterment of witches and wizards.
4 Sagittarius: Hufflepuff
The Fantastic Beasts movie series takes place years before the events of Harry Potter. The film provides insight into characters like Albus Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall when they were younger. Newt, the protagonist from the first Fantastic Beasts film, is a fitting Hufflepuff.
Sagittarius witches and wizards are generous and willing to help others—as does a Hufflepuff. Sagittarius people are the most traveled of the zodiac signs. When a zodiac sign doesn't fit other houses, it's usually Hufflepuff.
3 Capricorn: Slytherin
Before you start cursing the skies about being placed in Slytherin, know that Slytherin witches and wizards have accomplished "great things." Lord Voldermort is obviously the most horrible person to come out of Slytherin. With that said, Salazar Slytherin helped to create Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Professor Snape worked in secret against Lord Voldermort, even if there's a dispute whether he was good or not. Capricorn individuals can be unforgiving, but they also would make great managers. As long as they aren't commanding the Death Eaters, they should be okay.
2 Aquarius: Ravenclaw
Ravenclaw people are known for being wise and clever. They display intelligence and creativity that surpasses that of the other houses. It's a minor plot hole, but wouldn't the Sorting Hat have recognized that Gilderoy Lockhart is unintelligent? Stealing the ideas of other people, Gilderoy proves he as distrusting as a Slytherin. Nevertheless, Aquarius individuals would be accepted into Ravenclaw. After all, one of their colors is blue!
1 Pisces: Gryffindor
You've been sort into Gryffindor! This house might be a bit of a stretch, but it wouldn't make sense to sort this house into Ravenclaw or any of the other houses. Pisces individuals are friendly and wind up in the presence of various people. They are easy to get along with, which is similar to Gryffindor witches and wizards. They are willing to help people without asking for anything in return. This evidence leads us to believe Pisces people are well-suited for Gryffindor.
