This Psychological Theory Explains Why Some People Act More Like Their Zodiac Sign
A 1994 study, conducted by psychology professor Jan J.F. van Rooij, may suggest as much. In a nutshell, the study tested whether people born under “positive” Zodiac signs (Aries, Gemini, Leo, Libra, Sagittarius, and Aquarius — aka all fire and air signs) were more extroverted while people born under “negative” signs (Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio, Capricorn, and Pisces — all the earth and water signs) were more introverted. Make what you will of the suggestion that fire and air signs are more extroverted while earth and water signs are more introverted (we'd argue that the extent of someone's extroversion is a little more nuanced than that), but this characterization is generally accepted in the astro community, with obvious exceptions — let's never forget that Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is a supposedly introverted Taurus.
