How would your star sign cope in a #ZombieApocalypse? (and find out your #TheWalkingDead persona!)

NB, this was written before Season 7!  All other Walking Dead posts HERE

Thanks to Shelley Wilson for giving me the idea for this.... I'm fairly into astrology and massively into The Walking Dead, so this post just had to be written :)  Read on to find out how your sign would survive, which TWD character should be your role model ~ and which one it definitely shouldn't be!


Aries 

The first sign of the zodiac, Mars ruled, brave, warlike, protective, rushing in where everyone else fears to tread, cutting a swathe with your sword.   Sometimes you're too blunt for your own good, can alienate people, but you don't hesitate; you'd slice that Walker's head off before he had a chance to get his jaws around you.  Just be careful not to overestimate your capabilites, and realise that sometimes you need a little back-up.  Aries fights for justice and truth: you see straight through control freaks like The Governor, who use the new world to their own advantage ~ who else could you be but superwoman Michonne?  The battleground is one in which you feel comfortable ~ remember how she missed being 'out there' fighting the zombies in the wild woods once she was safe in Woodbury and Alexandria?

Brave, fearless positive Aries type woman ~ the fabulous Michonne

...or the bad sort of Aries, who just wants to show off with a gun, like Andrea

 

Taurus 

You don't like change, and when the zombie apocalypse hits you find yourself wildly out of your comfort zone.  Not one to put yourself forward, you prefer to follow the lead of others, providing solid back up.  Lazy?  No, never, who said that...?  It's true that many Taureans are happiest when lying down, or at least relaxing where it's safe and comfortable, but you're not scared of doing your bit, and where you shine is working out practical solutions.  You can be slow off the mark when it comes to leaping down from first floor buildings and attacking the monsters, but you're honest (give or take when a lie is absolutely necessary for survival...), top of the class when thinking up a life-saving solution that could help everyone: the making of new bullets, for instance.  You're tenacious enough to work this stuff out ~ just like your Walking Dead counterpart, Eugene :)

Slow starting, good Taurus ~ Eugene, who got there in the end

....or the bad Taurus ~ Milton, who didn't

 
Gemini 

You're chatty, witty, communicate easily with everyone, and will do well when it comes to linking up with other groups of survivors, but you're shrewd with it, and will suss out when a situation doesn't feel right; it's all about the mental challenge.  Always ready with a quip, you'll keep your group's spirits up when times are bad, and you're resourceful, too ~ think Abraham, who found the solider hanging from a pipe on that roof of the building where he and Sasha were stranded, leading to one of their best weaponry finds.  You're flighty with your affections at times, but, hey, it's the end of the world, right?  No point in feigning love you no longer feel....

"Given the unpredictable state of the world on any given Sunday..."

 Mercurial Abraham, the good Gemini type who's always kind of charming...

...or bad Gemini type, quicksilver Jesus, (who turned out okay and is fairly hot, so we'll forgive him for the lost lorry full of supplies)

Cancer 

So hard for you to leave your home (Cancerian crab shell) and attachment to your family when the time comes to walk about into the unknown and search for a new way of living, but your inner strength will shine through.  You're emotional, but can use this to the good, channelling it into the strength to take care of those you love.  You're tenacious, too, and will never let go of ~ yes, you're just like Maggie.  She held on to her belief that her beloved Glenn was alive, even when he nearly came a cropper when faced by a horde with the 'orrible Nicholas.  You're also the most maternal of all the star signs ~ perhaps, therefore, the only one likely to get yourself pregnant during a zombie apocalypse!

Maternal strong Cancer woman type Maggie...

....as opposed to the weaker sort, Lori, who somehow made it all about her...

Leo 

Leo, the leader ~ can be bossy and arrogant, but is born to be at the front of a weary group leading them down a dusty road in search of food and shelter, working out strategies and delegating tasks.  Most of your group will put up with the occasional throwing-of-toys-out-of-the-pram, because you have a big warm heart, too, and you do all that you do to keep your friends and family safe.  You're great at organising, almost as fearless as Aries, and will never give up.  Of course, you're Rick.

Good, strong, charismatic, proud Leo boss man Rick....

Leo gone bad....greedy, tyrannical, egotistical boss man The Governor!

 

Virgo  

In the old world you might have been a conscientious employee, a family member who worked hard for his or her loved ones, a trusted friend (or a pizza delivery boy...) ~ now, you're not a leader, you're a leader's wing man, who can always be relied upon for back-up, to do what's required without complaint or fuss.  You may be one of those who will survive the longest, because you're not rash, or over-emotional ~ you're sensible, practical.  In the zombie world, this can keep you safe.  You'll willingly go on medicine runs, be the one to haul a zombie out of a well, and when exploring dark and dangerous places (like prisons) you'll be the one who remembers to chalk the arrows on the walls so you know your way back.  Be happy that you're Glenn.

The perfect, responsible, sensible wingman, good Virgo type Glenn

...and super-critical, bitter, unhappy and negative Virgo type Shane 

(I did feel sorry for him, though!)

Libra  

Librans like everything harmonious, they're pleasant, reasonable and just generally good to be around.  You might have trouble making tougher types believe that you're for real, but once new friends trust you, you can become a valuable part of the team, treading the middle ground, never putting yourself in too much danger but not holding back, either.  You're sociable and can get on with strangers, and are able to help negotiations with new groups.  Your Walking Dead counterpart is the lovely Aaron. 

Positive Libra type Aaron, with the quiet strength that wins through

 Equally pleasant, but being a dithery Libra type got Denise nearly dead once, and an arrow through her head when dithering on a railway line....

Scorpio 

Deep, intense, secretive and sexy, you feel so deeply and find it hard to let go of hurt and anger.  You love fearlessly, harbour grudges.  In a post apocalyptic world this can make you brave, or sometimes just stupid brave.  Scorpio is said to have the potential for great things, but with a dark side that can so easily turn bad.  Your zombie apocalypse personality is Sasha, who mourned brother Tyreese and lover Bob with such pain that she went a bit crazy, but soon came back stronger than ever ~ and of course she was, unintentionally, sexy enough to lure Abraham away from the drop dead gorgeous Rosita!

Using all that power and intensity for the common good ~ Scorpio type Sasha

....and the worst of Scorpio: who else but Negan? 

 

Sagittarius 

As soon as society went to pot, you realised that this is the world you were made for.  You don't like rules or restrictions, you're adventurous, independent, daring, love the outdoors, a born survivor.  You could get on just fine on your own, but as part of a group you will work best if given the tasks that let you go out and be freewheeling on your own, sometimes.  You're optimistic, rarely emotional, and just the sort of person anyone would want to team up with when the world is full of Walkers, cannibals and worse.  Nowhere to wash, no comfortable bed to sleep in?  Who cares, you're free!  You've guessed it ~ you're Daryl (lucky you!).

The best freewheeling Sagittarian in the post apocalyptic world ~ 

hold onto your hearts, girls, it's the gorgeous Mr Dixon!

Taking the Sagittarian personality to evil extremes ~ Joe from Series 4

 

 Oh, okay, then, here are some more Daryl pictures....

Capricorn 

You can be your own worst enemy, stopping yourself from finding comfort and joy because you think you don't deserve it, maybe; you don't know why you feel the need to make things hard for yourself, you just do.  Now the world is forever changed you might discover strengths you didn't know you had.  Capricorns are said to get younger as they get older, so if you can survive, it's all good.  You can be harsh, or just practical, sometimes without consideration for others' sensitivities.  That loner thing inside can get the better of you, but you'll be best off if you can shrug off the black Saturnine moods, learn to relate to others, accept that their point of view might have something going for it, now and again, and find your place within a group ~ like Carol. 

Carol keeps Capricorn traits postive ~ most of the time....

...unlike Jenner, who just checked out: the ultimate in giving yourself a hard time! 

 

Aquarius  

The eleventh sign is independent, with a quirky way of looking at life; you could find your own way within the post apocalyptic world on your own, if necessary. The problem with being an Aquarius in a dangerous situation is that you're idealistic, and see things as you would like them to be, as they should be, in a better world, not as they are; you're said to be the hippies of the zodiac.  Humanitarian, you may sometimes make the mistake of over-estimating the motives and possibilities of others.  Even if you vow never to kill a non-Walker, don't make the mistake of judging everyone by your own high standards.  Your zombie apocalypse persona is Morgan.

 

Humanitarian, idealistic Morgan, the Aquarian type male who knows when to get practical...

 ..... and poor but equally humanitarian Deanna, whose ideals were just pie-in-the-sky.... 

 

Pisces  

They're not just dreamy little fish who like to escape into their own worlds; Pisces is symbolised by two fishes, one sinking, one swimming.  The sign is all about death and rebirth; you're adaptable, and when the world you once knew is gone, can accept and make the best of the new one.  You're a softy, but not always as much of a pushover as people think, even though you genuinely care for people.  You can still enjoy a bit of fantasy play time, and romantic thoughts, even when everything's gone to shit ~ just like Carl, who was able to see, long before his parents, that he needed to stop being treated like a child and learn how to protect himself.  

Adaptable Piscean type Carl, who still knows how to enjoy life and dream a little...

...and equally Piscean type Hershel, who embraced the new world even at his great age.

 

Roll on October!!!
