Seventy-Four
So I came across The Harry Potter Astrology site. As the name implies, it dictates the personality you’ll have if you were sorted in either of the four Houses, following under the zodiac sign. Since I lack explaining something thoroughly, I’ll use my sign for example.
Now this is going to be a somewhat of a long post, and I won’t be bothering it with an lj-cut because that’ll be a crime. Ha.
CANCER
(June 21 - July 22)
The Crab. Cardinal, water, yin - planetary ruler: the Moon Keywords: "I FEEL"
Cancer is the fourth sign of the Zodiac and governs the breast and the stomach. Positive traits include loyalty, a love of home and family, the ability to express emotion, intensity, a great sense of humour, a sense of initiative, tenaciousness, a gift with finances, compassion, shrewdness, and intuition. Negative traits are self-indulgence, moodiness, clinging to other people, bossiness, emotional manipulation, and oversentimentality.
Gryffindor
Gryffindors born under the sign of Cancer will root for the home team until their throats are raw. They are deeply loyal to their House (and also to any friends outside of their House, although these may take a back seat to Gryffindor loyalties). Make a friend with a Gryffindor Cancer, and you've made a friend for life. Cancer is a sentimental, yet high achieving sign that dreams often, and dreams big; this combined with the Gryffindor romantic streak creates a quixotic, almost anachronistically chivalrous temperament.
Hufflepuff
Hufflepuff Cancers are oriented first and foremost to the home and to all things domestic. The ultimate homebodies of the magical world, they are at their happiest when they are puttering in the kitchen, stirring up food in magical cauldrons or whipping up soothing, healing potions. These wizards desperately need to be needed. If cut off from family, a circle of close friends, or a flock of wounded birds to tend, they will get anxious and depressed, unless their energies are directed somehow to a cause or a person which finds them good use. They are caring and compassionate, and are excellent listeners.
Ravenclaw
This is an odd sign for Ravenclaw wizards to be born under, but it happens. You'll see them wandering the halls, muttering to themselves or lost in daydreams. Some great Ravenclaw astrologers have been born under this sign. Any magic which involves moonlight and intricate calculations, actually, will attract the Ravenclaw Cancer. They may also be prone to collecting and enchanting white stones that remind them of the moon - pearls, moonstones, opals... These wizards have an extremely dry sense of humour, and are prone to making trenchant observations of the world around them.
Slytherin
Potions, potions, and more potions. Any Slytherin born under a water sign will excel at potions, and the Cancer Slytherin is no exception. The leadership ability and the lofty dreams of Cancer will also be emphasized; as will loyalty (directed for the most part to one's House). Slytherins born under the sign of Cancer will be more hard-shelled and less sentimental than other Cancers, but don't be fooled by their bossy, efficient exteriors. On the inside they are soft and needy, and they learn from a young age to hide this well. Slytherins born under water signs have another thing in common with each other: keen insight into what makes other people tick. These Slytherins are good at manipulating other people's emotions, and good as well at quickly learning the hidden stories behind the otherwise inexplicable actions of acquaintances. They never forget a cut or a kindness, so it is best to stay on their good side unless you want an obsessive, vindictive enemy.
Now that I’ve read this, Hufflepuff is “not” my house because I don’t feel the need to be “domestic” or caring to the nth degree; I will not get anxious, depressed if I’m thrown “out” of the circle because I do not depend on people for my happiness. Ravenclaw makes me sound eccentric; I am weird, but I’m not that weird. I could perhaps fit into Gryffindor, minus the part of “house spirited” and the “extreme” loyalty. As for Slytherin, I fit in it down to a T. The following certainly explains a large percentage of who I am:

So, I suppose when it comes down to my zodiac sign, I would have been a Slytherin, otherwise, I’m still a Hufflepuff. Actually, I’ll take the mix, thankyouverymuch.
How about yourself?… after checking your sign on the site of course.
