The three I have chosen are : Taurus, Leo and Virgo

Taurus bares the picture of Hermione as Taureans are known for their stubboness. They cling to their own ideas and are rarely open to listen to others. and therefore may fail to take advantage of new and more practical situations, yet their relationships are worked hard at and are usually worth while.



I have chosen the picture of Ron on the Leo starsign due to the stubboness and pride that he holds in his heart, not readilly altering their opinions to suit others. Leo is also the sign of the lion, which Ron proves in his heart, the braveness of a lion (at least I think he will in the future). Plus you have the orangy hair like the lions mane!!



I have chosen the image of Remus Lupin for virgo due to the fact that like Virgo's, Remus has a tendancy to hide his vulnerability from society and instead focus on the heres and nows rather than who he is (ie the wolf). They will also praise and aid others, whilst using fair and constructive critisms, the same as Remus.

And a little software help from a friend!

Harry represents Aries because he, like an Aries, is devoted and heroic. Aries constantly are saving people, and devoted to causes they believe in. Harry has what Ginny calls a "hero complex" and is devoted to Dumbledore as shown in the chamber of secrets. Unfortunately, he is also impulsive, stubborn and reckless, other Aries qualities.

I chose the Weasley twins to represent Gemini because both are twin signs. Geminis are original, resourceful, and adventurous. The Weasley twins are all of the above, I mean, their Weasley Wizarding Wheezes show how original and resourceful they can be!


Ginny Weasley displays characteristics similar to those of the astrological sign Taurus. She is patient, shown during OotP when Harry is angry and Ginny calms him by not screaming back at him, but calmly talking to him. They are supportive, Ginny supports her friends. Tauruses are also romantic, and we all remember Ginny's singing valentine to Harry, and how she "never gave up on him." Ginny is also dedicated to the D.A. and stubborn in her beliefs, she refuses to be left behind when they travel to the Department of Mysteries.


Hehe, I'm an astrology freak, so I knew all of this already, I swear.

Okay, I got a little help from the book
AstroStyle by Tali and Ophira Edut

I got my images from Google and used paint, which is why they're so sloppy.

Capricorn- Hermione Granger



‘Girl’s Life Magazine’ describes a Capricorn as very busy and involved with their activities. A Capricorn can “find the answers deep within their soul”. For Hermione, it takes her awhile to learn to relax and enjoy herself. Capricorns tend to be hard workers who put their work ahead of fun and social activities.

Aries- Ginny Weasley



Aries are leaders who stick with their guts. They go for what they want and don’t pay attention to what others might think of them. Ginny never worries about what her friends might think of something, she just does what she thinks it right. We don’t really see Ginny falling for peer pressure at all, which is a characteristic of Aries.

Cancer- Ron Weasley



Cancer people are usually known as protectors. Ron is always looking out for his sister and protecting his friends. Cancers also tend to have tight friendships that last a long time. We can see this in Ron’s friendship with Harry and Hermione.

Im assuming that you meant you wanted us to make a new sighn... if Im wrong then erm Ive wasted alot of time...but hopefully Im right....




Draco Malfoy is a Gemini(June 5). I drew a dragon becuase Draco means dragon, and it has two heads because Gimini means twins...

Hermione Granger is a Virgo.Hermione's name came from the god Hermes, who was the god of good luck so I drew a hourse shoe....

Ginny is a Leo, and I drew fire because I always think about her fire red hair....

I chose Draco as an Aries because he is head strong, determinded and takes on more then he can handle. He is stubborn and won't accept help even though he knows he need's it, but deep down Draco is caring as he will do anything to save his family. Draco also has pride and can sometimes be slightly reckless.



I thought Harry was a great representive for Cancer as he pushes himself physically and emotionally, he relies on his emotions to do things which he thought he could not do, he is a tryer and hard working, as well as a good friend. Also harry is moody and at times sensitive, although this may have more to do with his hormones and losing so many loved ones to death, then anyting else, i still think he is great as a Cancer.



I decided that Hermione was a true Libra because she is simply selfless. She does not have a selfish bone in her body, she encourages people, her friends and even people which she does not know, to try harder. She is intelligent and kind. But Hermione also has her fears. She is scared of breaking to many rules, in case it stop's her from reaching her goals and dreams.
