(#1) Aries (March 21 - April 19)
- Constellation
You might think you want the ability to foresee the future, but the power wouldn't be a gift to all. For the independent Aries, precognition would be quite the curse. This Fire sign is all about courage and leadership, and it's not very brave to go into battle – or that intimidating board meeting – when you already know the outcome.
Of course, if an Aries knows the battle will be lost, they'll look like a coward for not wanting to fight. Better to not know and forge ahead bravely!

(#2) Taurus (April 20 - May 20)
- Constellation
The easygoing Taurus likes nothing better than a long, philosophical discussion or enjoying every moment of a rich meal. What a waste super speed would be on the bull! It's hard to stop and smell the roses when you're zipping along at a zillion miles per hour – you can't even see the roses! Taureans are notorious for moving slowly (but deliberately), and super speed would be more of a bane than a blessing for the Earth sign.

(#3) Gemini (May 21 - June 20)
- Constellation
Ah, the ever-changing Gemini! Wouldn't it be great if they could travel in time and make just a little adjustment? Probably not. Time travel would be just a little too seductive for the sign that thrives on change. A Gemini would change something once – for the better – and then think maybe if they go back one more time, it will be even more amazing. They would do this again. And again. And again.
How long before the butterfly effect dooms the entire universe as we know it? Let's just stay in the present, Gemini, and hold the space-time continuum together.

(#4) Cancer (June 21 - July 22)
- Constellation
Ever really wanted to know what someone was thinking? While many would kill for the ability, the reality of it may be too harsh for some to handle. This is the case for the easily hurt Cancer, for whom mind reading would be the worst of superpowers. What would it be like to know every white lie or every snide thought someone had about you?
If the crab could read everyone's minds, they would likely spend a whole lot of time curled up in the fetal position.
-
(#5) Leo (July 23 - August 22)
- Constellation
The proud Leo loves to be the center of attention, and invisibility would be a completely wasted power on the lion. It's hard to imagine a time any Leo would want to be invisible. The big-hearted Leo likes to make their presence known, and great leaders tend to be, well, visible. It's not that invisibility would actually do any harm; it just wouldn't be used very often.
-
(#6) Virgo (August 23 - September 22)
- Constellation
While most of us would like to be able to convince our dogs to "go" outside a little more easily, Virgos would find animal manipulation incredibly frustrating. One of the more intellectual signs, Virgos love analysis and thoughtful conversation. While a chat with Fido might be enjoyable for a small amount of time, Virgo would likely want to move on to more weighty matters.
Virgos will do better by sticking with humans and leaving the animals to talk among themselves.
-
(#7) Libra (September 23 - October 22)
- Constellation
Since Libras are always seeking balance and accord, it might seem like they would appreciate the gift of shapeshifting. The Air sign's notorious indecisiveness, however, would probably make this superpower anything but enjoyable. Should they be a wolf? A mountain? Their best friend? Determining the best form for an occasion or project would be a nearly impossible task.
The search for harmony would likely put Libra in an endless shifting loop. For this Air sign, it's better to seek balance in their own mold.
-
(#8) Scorpio (October 23 - November 21)
- Constellation
The intense Scorpio can be cool on the outside but seething on the inside. The very definition of "long fuse, big explosion," this Fire sign can sometimes lose control. With these traits in mind, it might be best to keep fire manipulation out of the scorpion's hands. The sting is bad enough; literal scorched earth could lead to a lot of regret.
-
(#9) Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21)
For many of us, the ability to conjure up a different personality for different situations would be great. But for the independent Sagittarian, the dual mind would be a small corner of perdition. The split mind is the ultimate in dependent living; you can't even exist in the world unless someone (the other you) allows you to. And what a mess that other mind might make while you're hidden away in the subconscious. Sagittarians are of one mind, and one is all they need.
-
(#10) Capricorn (December 22 - January 19)
- Constellation
No one toils harder than the Capricorn, and they pride themselves on their ambition and their work ethic. To Capricorns, magic might be considered a shameful shortcut. Would the goat be satisfied standing on the mountaintop without the thrill of the climb?
Capricorns love looking back on the journey with a little self-admiration, and waving a magic wand makes it a little too easy for this productive Earth sign.
-
(#11) Aquarius (January 20 - February 18)
- Constellation
What better way to have some time to yourself than to generate a force field to keep everyone out? A little solitude may sound great to some, but nothing could be worse for the gregarious Aquarius. Aquarians treasure their time with others in conversation and fun, and the ability to close themselves off via force field would rarely be used by this Air sign.
-
(#12) Pisces (February 19 - March 20)
- Constellation
Pisces lives in a world of sensitivity, and they're often looking to escape reality. Super logic and intelligence would just get in the way of their gut-level decisions and nonlinear thinking. Overanalysis is not usually Pisces's way of thinking, and a secular type of super intelligence could easily hamper their creative style.

About This Tool
In 270 BC, 47 constellations are mentioned in the book of images by the Greek poet Aratus. Because of precession, the South Pole of the period described in the book is not consistent with the South Pole of today, so it can be concluded that the starfield recorded in the book is the 20th century BC At the same time, the blank space in the sky record indicates that the observer should be somewhere between 35 and 36 degrees north latitude. It is therefore thought that the division of the starry sky into constellations originated in the Babylonian and Sumerian periods of Mesopotamia, from which the Greek and Egyptian constellations may have originated.
Everyone knows that different constellations have different personality traits. This random tool generates 12 items to help you playfully discover what different constellations might have for different abilities. This is a particularly interesting finding.
