AI is everywhere, but not every tool is a fit for every person. Some of us geek out on prompts and productivity hacks; others would happily join a VR pagan moon circle with AI-generated crystals. Astrology, the original personality framework, is its own form of intelligence.
I know this because I live it every day. As a business owner, tech enthusiast, and accidental astrologer, what my twin sister and I have learned from building our platform Astrostyle to millions of monthly readers is that discerning people all over the world are quietly grappling with the labyrinth of choices they face every hour, in every part of their lives.
The average adult makes 35,000 decisions a day. AI might reduce the stress of that, but it can’t make those decisions for us. So what part of ourselves does the deciding when logic and information don’t come through?
Mainstream astrology—more specifically, horoscopes—can be polarizing AF. But then, so can technology. Together, AI and astrology can reduce the struggle of living in a complex world. In an era of algorithms, our humanity is the “dark matter” that defies law and order. Astrology can help us understand phenomena that can’t be explained by left-brained logic.
With that, here are my suggestions for how each zodiac sign can tap into astrological AND artificial intelligence.
Aries
As the zodiac’s first sign, you’re here to blaze trails. (Can you say “early adopter?”) You need speedy results to keep your competitive edge. Waiting? That’s for Libras. When you feel the other eleven signs nipping at your heels, AI solutions are a no-brainer.
Here’s the friction point, though: You can’t delegate or automate everything, because you also like control. So how do you handle those mind-numbing administrative steps (aka, life) and still preserve your number-one spot on humanity’s leaderboard?
One word: Gamify. A mix of AI and non-AI tech tools can help.
The rising trends of life gamification and habit gamification were made for you, Aries. Habitica is a free habit-tracking app that turns your life into a game, using rewards, challenges and community support to help you build better habits and stay motivated. It combines pixel art and productivity, according to their website, and boasts “over 4 million people having fun while accomplishing their goals” through cute characters. If you’re looking to build a habit loop, AI can help you create it and stick to it.
Need more customization? Notion also offers many habit-gamifying templates if you’re willing to do the setup (or hire someone to help). The spirit of fun can be a mighty motivator, especially for your playful sign. Before you know it, you’ll be doing a TEDx talk; something like “How I Gamified My Life and Beat Procrastination,” hitting 20 million YouTube downloads and bossing around a team of coders as they make your new motivational app. What are you waiting for, Aries?
Taurus
An analog sign by nature, Taurus rules the five senses, and you deeply enjoy the pleasures of being human. Artificial? No thanks. Ultra-natural is more your thing. You’re a creature of habit, reluctant to change unless it brings you more luxury, stability, and comfort. You don’t need a Midjourney avatar with seven thumbs; you need solutions that simplify daily life.
For that reason, white-glove agentic AI was made for you, Taurus. You already know exactly what you want—which is more of what you already have, but delivered with ease. If life is getting busier, then who’s gonna make your dinner reservations, balance your checking account, and find the wash-and-fold laundromat that uses your exact type of linen starch? Deploy the agents!
It’s not your fault, Taurus. Being hardcoded with concierge tastes in a late-stage capitalist economy is an existential dilemma. Or…it was. You weren’t put here to pay retail, or to output data-center energy levels to organize your music collection and track down the perfect cheesesteak. With an invisible helper, you don’t have to anymore.
Budget and finance-track with Monarch. Sleep deeply on an AI mattress. Control temperature, music, and scent with smart home tech. Navigate the post-NFT AI art market, whether as creator or collector.
And if you’re feeling extra-extra, be the first among your friends to own a Nékojita FuFu, an adorable crowd-funded cat robot that attaches to the edge of any cup or bowl and blows air to cool your food. (Oops, we know what all your friends are getting for Christmas…)
Gemini
Gemini is a multiplayer game in a single human, and as such, you get easily scattered. Keeping track of your hobbies, friends, ideas, and curiosities is a full-time job on its own. And while plenty of those thoughts probably SHOULD stay in draft forever, there are a lot of fleeting moments you want to capture. No, you probably won’t get around to opening that artisan Bento box lunch truck that was also going to offer blowouts and glam squad services around the back (never say never, tho’). But the colorful tale behind the idea? Epic!
And that’s where the Gemini magic lives: in the art of storytelling. Your amalgam of weird hobbies and skills and life detours might seem unrelated until you connect the dots through an epic LinkedIn post or keynote that gives your audience full-body chills.
Since there’s not enough time to churn out those anecdotes AND make a living, get some help from AI. Make your writing sizzle with MyStoryPro, created by (Gemini) Patrice Poltzer, a former Today Show producer who relocated her husband and three young sons from Brooklyn to Lisbon, documented her existential crisis on social media, then birthed an incredible AI storytelling assistant (nicknamed “Pocket Patrice”) that’s got chef’s-kiss UX, design, and functionality—and actually sounds like your voice.
While you’re at it, Gemini, throw in one of Grammarly’s AI features, the Plagiarism Checker. You consume so much information that you sometimes accidentally repeat someone else’s words, forgetting you didn’t author them yourself. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure when it comes to IP, especially for you.
Cancer
If there’s a sign most likely to side-eye AI, it’s yours, Cancer. You’re the champion of all things homemade and handmade. Your nostalgic sign is rooted in the past and can be deeply skeptical about the future. While some of that is fear-based, you’re also playing the role of the guardian. You don’t want technology erasing the human touch in the name of “progress.”
But what if AI could be a form of cultural and historical preservation? Well, it can.
Digital twins (e.g., exact replicas of unique items) were practically made for you. Let’s say, for example, a climate disaster wipes out a precious object or site. Those once-irreplaceable mementos won’t be lost. Fragments of art, music, and folklore can be reconstructed with AI, keeping at-risk traditions alive.
Got fading letters from your great-great-great grandfather that you want to share in a family tree project? Transkribus preserves historical documents by training models to recognize handwriting, process large numbers of pages, and even create searchable online collections.
A more controversial use of AI is the grief bot. Essentially, a loved one commissions an AI duplicate of themselves (voice, speech patterns, et al.) before they pass away. Their surviving relatives can continue to interact with their likeness. Black Mirror-ness aside, we imagine that Cancers might comprise a market for something like this as it evolves.
Leo
Storytime: unlocked! You’ve got tales to tell and spotlights to steal, and the competition for attention has never been more fierce. It’s your astrological mandate to stand out from the crowd. And nobody owns the power of narrative quite like you do, Leo.
As it turns out, this lore-spinning talent gives you a real edge when it comes to being memorable. Studies show that people remember stories up to 22 times more than plain data, so the next time some old-school purist barks “just the facts!” let ‘em know that people only retain 5 to 10% of information presented as stats. When wrapped in anecdotes (and Leo rizz), they’ll remember 65 to 70% of what you said.
These carefully-crafted cliffhangers don’t just write themselves, though. That's where our AI recos enter the plot. Bang out that movie-adaptation-worthy memoir or screenplay script with Sudowrite, which boasts a feature called Story Bible that can write a novel from nose to tail in a week. There are additional AI features that craft dialogue or analyze your characters and plot arc, then generate options for the next 300 words.
Don’t stop at words, though! Leos are the ultimate experience junkies. Pair your stories with AI-generated video, animation, and slides, and set to music for the full immersion. Take people on a sensory-overload adventure in colors that would make your fellow Leo Andy Warhol proud. Adobe Firefly is every creator’s go-to AI assistant, generating images, text effects, audio, and video in a range of Adobe apps.
Among its many features, Firefly lets you describe a color palette in Illustrator through prompts, then see your images recast in various hues. Go ahead, serve “Wes Anderson with a side of Miami Vice” or “moody Dutch Masters meets Korean aeni.”
If you’re a serious artist, as many Leos are, check out AIArtists.org to explore the world of generative art and connect with a global community of fellow creatives incorporating AI into their process. We await your creations!
Virgo
Riddle me this: How do you create AI for someone who’s the human version of a tracker? If anyone could outsmart Siri, it’s the real-life large language model that is Virgo. Planning? Project management? Phsssshhhht. Virgo wrote the source code on that.
What kind of bot do you build for the zodiac sign that has everything? Moreover, how do you sell the zodiac’s most all-natural sign on anything artificial?
Come closer and we’ll tell you. There’s one “Big O” guaranteed to drive these data-driven dilettantes and polymath purists over the edge: optimize.
Perfectionistic Virgos might already know how to do everything right. But that doesn’t mean it can’t be done better. Dangle the optimization carrot and they’ll hop over like bunnies to munch it right out of your hands. (Pet them while you’re at it; they love physical touch.)
For Virgos, everyday objects infused with practical AI is the flex.
One example? The OralB iO Series, an AI-powered electric toothbrush that cleans with micro-vibrations (sexy!) and guides your brush time. It flashes red when you’re scrubbing too hard at the gum line and green when you nail that perfect pressure.
I kid you not, as I sat at a café researching this toothbrush online, a woman peered over my shoulder and asked if I was a dentist. I am not (surprise!), but it turned out that she was. I gave her a five-second amateur pitch for the OralB and she was genuinely intrigued. “Wow! I’ll have to tell some of my patients about that,” she exclaimed before ordering a pain au chocolat and sugary iced latte. (Gives Virgo side-eye)
Maybe I shouldn’t have been so eager. A smart toothbrush in the hands of a Virgo practically counts as wellness weaponry against both cavity creeps and inflated dental bills that insurance never covers. Ditch your basic-bitch brush, clean your choppers to pristine purity, and fire your dentist? That makes the OralB iO a steal at just over $350, at least in Virgo math.
You heard it here first, AI startups: The way to Virgo’s heart is through the brain and body. And they’ll pay top dollar for anything that’s smart enough to solve their problems. Go!
Libra
Aesthetic Libra loves to be surrounded by beauty. Nothing transports you to nirvana more than being draped in finery. While you’ve been known to pay retail for your upscale tastes, you’re also wired for discernment. If you’ve got Balenciaga tastes on a barista budget, AI can help you create a head-turning OOTD without breaking the bank. Financial constraints or not, Libra is the sign of justice.
Enter AI. The adventure might start with you curating what you already have. “Budget-conscious fashion lovers are using AI as a personal stylist to shop their closet,” explains Quynh Mai, founder of creative strategy agency Qulture, which specializes in spotting trends and subcultures online. “Platforms like Stylebook and Cladwell help them track their wardrobe and make outfit recommendations.”
You don’t need to have a couture collection that rivals fellow Libras Gwyneth Paltrow, Kim Kardashian, or Cardi B to benefit from an AI stylist. For Libras who struggle with decision overwhelm, Cladwell is an AI app centered around the capsule wardrobe concept. (Bonus: It doesn’t require you to photograph a single item.) The app even has templates with names like Parisian and Minimalist.
If your closet skews more Clueless’ Cher Horowitz (played by Libra Alicia Silverstone), Stylebook’s 90+ features can catalog your entire wardrobe, generate packing lists, and suggest potential outfit combinations. Sync them to your calendar to plan around your oft-packed social schedule.
Hate the experience of a boutique dressing room? Google’s AI-powered Try-On lets you preview clothes on your actual body type, without the bad lighting and mirror angles. Go forth and serve “human” with your well-cultivated looks. Before long, you could be earning extra cash as a brand influencer and need an even bigger closet.
Scorpio
You’ve got X-ray vision, Scorpio, the ability to pierce any veil and get to the heart of the matter. You understand that data is power. And while nobody’s scanning YOUR iris before you serve them an ironclad privacy agreement (#paranoid), you live to look under the hood of everyone else’s operations.
So what could be more titillating than a naughty frisson of code, an exclusive look at a business analytics dashboard? It’s practically a peep show for Scorpios.
Strategy is sexy to your power-loving sign. Intelligence is your aphrodisiac. And while you’re capable of crunching large amounts of data without an AI assist, translating them to the plebes—er, your less rapid-fire colleagues—is another story. That’s where technology adds a magic touch.
Perhaps you let Jules clean up your code. Maybe you use an AI campaign tracker like Supermetrics that shows everyone how hard you crushed a goal. Or BoldBI, a no-code AI copilot that builds visual dashboards from plain-English commands, narrates your charts in simple language, and helps you make strategic decisions through its “smart predictions.”
As a secretly witchy sign, this is occult work hiding in plain sight. A Scorpio specialty! So your crystal ball happens to be a bar graph predicting the exact moment when profits could take a sharp Q4 decline? You don’t need a cauldron to brew up a save-the-day solution. Cast a spell on your coworkers and abracadabra those insights. Nobody needs to know how you and the AI got it done. Let it be one of your many little Scorpio secrets.
Sagittarius
Places to go, people to see, platforms to build! Supersizer Sagittarius has a million ideas and never enough time to do them all. Yet, somehow you do, fueled by good humor and boundless curiosity. You’re so prolific that your AI needs its own AI.
Writing that last line led my own Sagittarius brain to think, “Hey, that sounds like the start of a standup routine,” which led me to a ChatGPT joke generator. After three prompts, it produced this snippet of AI comedy: “You talk to your chatbot so much, Alexa started sending you breakup texts.”
You see? This is what Sagittarians do. Our warren of rabbit holes is vaster than a mycelium network, interconnected by its own complex pathways. No wonder we’re always in trouble!
It doesn’t help that Sag is the zodiac’s eternal student and serial entrepreneur, with strong media mogul tendencies. On a whim, you’ll throw together a digital course or an e-commerce platform in an hour. Tinker around with Generative AI website builders like Lovable or an AI-assisted platform like Thinkific where bots can help you shape a curriculum.
When you need to race between physical locations, which is often, look to the AI-adjacent field of robotics. On-the-go Sagittarians are fueled by FOMO; innovations that enhance human capacity could intrigue you. As the zodiac’s ethicist, however, you have your limits. (Hard pass on the surgically-implanted Neuralink brain chips, thanks.)
For now, perhaps a pair of Moonwalkers would be fun? This AI-powered wheeled footwear, which resembles the love child of rollerblades and Tevas sandals, will get you places at 2.5X normal speed. They’re $999, about the price of an entry-level e-bike.
Sounds hefty until you consider Sagittarians’ ability to pack value into every moment. The ROI might quickly pay for itself when you’re doubling the number of coffee meetings you can skate to, leaving with a signed sales contract and an angel investor for your audacious new startup.
Capricorn
We know, we know: Capricorns are forever typecast as goal-chasing workaholics. For the record, we know just as many Caps who love cognac, leather, and a hand-rolled cigar as those who love nothing more than rotting on the couch with a Bud Lite and a bag of edibles.
Wherever you fall on that spectrum, most Capricorns are burdened by a certain weight of responsibility. Performance and productivity apps? Yawn. You’ve already got that covered.
Where your stoic, stiff-upper-lip sign COULD use some support is with your mental and emotional wellbeing. As a sensual earth sign who can be ruthlessly hard on yourself, you might be the sign most in need of a hug—and the least likely to ask for one. Capricorns can be super awkward when it comes to physical contact.
And yet? The benefits of soothing touch can reduce cortisol, lower blood pressure, and reduce your heart rate. For the sign that rules longevity, this is key.
Enter the Apollo Wearable. It’s a small, vibrating (haptic) device you can strap onto your wrist or ankle that “sends gentle vibrations to the body that signal safety to the brain.” Created by trauma expert Dr. Dave Rabin, a neuroscientist and board-certified psychiatrist, it supports sleep, focus, and relaxation, and over time can even re-train your nervous system. Soon enough, you’ll feel as calm on the inside as you may appear on the outside.
Aquarius
Aquarius rules group activity. Your team-spirited sign loves to meet up for sports, social action, gaming, festivals… anything, really. The future is your playground, so you may have little to no resistance adopting tech, whether or not you’re a digital native.
As the sign of innovation, using AI is a no-brainer. But how can it help you prioritize IRL pursuits and reduce extra screen time? Or, if you are fully remote, how can you create a virtual space that feels like an intramural soccer field, outdoor music fest, or your favorite team’s basketball stadium? Use AI to create a hybrid experience that simulates offscreen life.
At work, you might ditch Zoom meetings and commune with your colleagues on the Sims-style coworking platform Teamflow. Design a hyper-personalized virtual office with plants, books, and even transparent PNGs you can bring in from the web. Every team member can have their own piece of turf, curating it with a desk, rug, pets, and objects that express their individuality—a trait Aquarians prize. It even has commands like “Tap Allie on the shoulder” or “Invite Jadyn to you” that simulate what you’d do in an actual office space.
Full disclosure: I’ve used this platform with my team since 2021 and our space has a pool, a garden, a Peloton studio, and a $30,000 espresso machine. (“Meet me by the flamingo floatie” and the pixel-presence of our pets got us through the pandemic.)
Off-duty, your humanitarian sign might be organizing a social activism movement. This guide from Harvard has solid advice for how to use AI to deliver a clear message and bring people together in a positive, cohesive way.
Pisces
Making thousands of decisions a day is daunting enough on its own. But for a highly sensitive, big-feelings sign like Pisces, intuiting your way through the modern-life matrix takes a toll. A simple outfit choice is loaded with considerations, from what others will think, to fabric texture, to what everyone else is wearing, and how socially at ease you’ll feel.
Decisions are extra daunting with your vivid imagination, which readily churns up worst-case scenarios. A mix of AI and apps can help.
When the overwhelm ocean reaches high tide, start with How We Feel, an emotion-tracking app created by scientists and therapists. It helps you spot patterns and improve your ability to emotionally self-regulate over time.
Need facts to balance out your feelings? Pisces rules the subconscious and the creative right brain; visuals really matter. Skip ChatGPT and head to Pi.ai, a personal AI that flanks its prompt window with gorgeous fine art and suggested searches like “Practice a big conversation” and “What you should watch next.”
When I asked Pi if it was just a prettied-up ChatGPT, it answered “Nope! I am a personal AI built by Inflection AI from the ground up. I’m not based on any existing LLMs or APIs, including ChatGPT. I’m built to be friendly, empathetic, and useful, not just a generic chatbot.” #PiscesHeaven
Using AI as your emotional support animal turns out to be a really good idea. According to Leonard Mlodinow, author of “Emotional: How Feelings Shape Our Thinking,” logic and emotions aren’t easily separated, nor should they be. Becoming more feeling-fluent and aware of your own patterns can be a powerful GPS for you, Pisces. Now, back to those decisions.
