Abstract

The study explores the purported influence of zodiac signs on personality traits through a cross-cultural analysis. Despite widespread cultural and historical acceptance of astrological influences on personality, empirical evidence remains contentious. This research endeavors to bridge this gap by analyzing data from diverse cultural contexts to ascertain any consistent patterns linking zodiac signs to personality traits. Utilizing established psychological frameworks and statistical methods, the study aims to offer a nuanced perspective on the role of astrological beliefs in shaping individual characteristics. Preliminary findings suggest intriguing correlations between specific zodiac signs and personality dimensions, though significant variations across cultures necessitate cautious interpretation. Ultimately, this investigation seeks to contribute empirically grounded insights into a widely debated yet enduring facet of popular psychology.
