My Sign Says

Your Role in the New Post-Apocalyptic World, Based on Your Sign

Don’t pretend it hasn’t crossed your mind—right now kind of feels like the backstory of a post-apocalyptic movie. And even though we don’t think we’ll be watching the fall of civilization anytime soon, it’s always good to have a plan, right? Read on to find out what role you might play in the new age.

Aries (March 21-April 19) 

Your drive to be first in everything could come in clutch right now, Aries. You’re a born adventurer, and as such it’s only natural that you’d be leading expeditions. Whether searching for food, supplies, or a new place to call home, you’re leading the charge.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) 

You might be out of your element away from all of your creature comforts, Taurus. But that doesn’t mean you can’t recreate them. Turn your focus to homesteading. Can’t endure the idea of eating stale canned goods? Take charge of feeding your people. It’ll be just like life before the apocalypse. Just, you know, dustier.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) 

Lighthearted and quick-witted, playful Geminis would be a perfect choice to gather the little ones for games and storytime. Just remember to not let your noise level get away from you, lest you attract the attention of roving zombie hoards.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) 

You’re going to have to resist the urge to go full hermit, Cancer. Yes, it’s scary out there. But you’ve got this uncanny knack to create a home out of any space you occupy. Put those skills to good use when setting up the home base of your tribe.

Leo (July 23-August 22) 

You can rally the troops like no other, Leo. In times of transition and upheaval, people need a leader that inspires them to action. And you, my lion, are just such a figure. Think King Ezekiel from The Walking Dead. It’s time to play up the showmanship.

Virgo (August 23-September 22) 

Someone’s got to keep the trains running on time. (Shut up, there are so trains in the apocalypse.) While maybe not as glamorous or attention-grabbing as a Leo, your role of maintaining order and attention to detail is absolutely crucial right now. How else would anything get done?

Libra (September 23-October 22) 

You’ve got a chance at a front row seat during the rebuilding of society, Libra. Now is your shot to ensure peace, equality, love, and beauty are literally written into the by-laws of the new age.

Scorpio (October 23-November 21) 

You might be a bit intimidating to others at first until they can get to know your dark and twisty vibe. But you’ve never been short on loyalty, Scorpio, and that will prove to be highly useful now. You’re also amazing at getting the gossip. A post-apocalyptic Master of Whispers, perhaps?

Sagittarius (November 22-December 21) 

You’re always up for an adventure, Sag. You’ll be the first to volunteer to scout new territories and meet up with other groups of wanderers. Just take care you don’t get yourself killed while proving you can take out the most walkers.

Capricorn (December 23-January 20) 

You’re not in charge because you want to be, Capricorn. You’re in charge because everyone else is so damn incompetent. When times get tough, we all start looking around for the grown-up. Thank god you’re here.

Aquarius (January 20-February 18) 

You’ve got BIG ideas, Aquarius. Most people aren’t entirely sure they understand them, but it takes someone pushing the envelope to make things happen at all sometimes. You’re a born philosopher or spiritual adviser. That’s something civilizations will always need.

Pisces (February 19-March 20) 

You’re the heart of the whole operation, Pisces. An amazing listener who’s always willing to jump in and lend a hand, you’ll be sure to make yourself absolutely indispensable. Just, you know, let someone else lead the hunting expeditions. That tender heart of yours might get everyone killed.
