By synthesizing insights from psychology, cultural studies, and astrology, the research aims to elucidate the mechanisms through which zodiac signs shape personal identities and interpersonal dynamics. Drawing on established psychological theories and empirical studies, the investigation navigates the complex interplay between astrological zodiacs and human cognition.
