The Average Face of Each Zodiac Sign

The average faces for each zodiac sign calculated using Midjourney's AI to aggregate images of public figures of diverse ages with Sun/Moon/Rising and/or 3+ inner planet stelliums in each zodiac sign.

I attempted to assemble as much ethnic diversity as I could, though quality data is often lacking on people traditionally marginalized by Western history, so more work is needed on that front. Some images represent a "racial average" of 1 of each White, Black, Latinx, East Asian and West Asian appearing-averages, in efforts to make a universal standard.

Others are simply an average of the entire database.

Others are averaged by visual "types". For instance, Cancer stellium women with Gemini-Scorpio as a secondary influence seem more prone to appear in historic databases than any other sort of Cancer stellium, and are visually very identifiable. So much so that I created a category for this combination of signs amid "standard Cancer".

These averages are continually being updated as new data comes in. Each image references ~15-20 individuals whose natal chart uniquely reflects a stellium (3+ significant chart aspects) in the given sign. In most instances, gender is based on assigned sex at birth.

Referencing data gathered by friends at the Astrofaces Project and the user-submitted database at Astroseek.com, I've been able to check my averages of renowned public figures sourced in the Astrodatabank & Astrotheme databases to determine the accuracy/legitimacy of each visual average.

Notes:

You may not resemble your sun sign, because another sign may predominate your chart. Visit a site like Astro-charts.com to make a free chart & see which sign is most dominant in your chart. For maximum accuracy, you will need correct birth time & place in addition to birth date. Appearance seems to be most astrologically influenced by Sun sign, Rising sign (1st house / Ascendant), and Moon, but also by concentrations of the same sign in inner planets such as Mercury, Mars, Venus, Jupiter and Saturn. Outer celestial bodies like Uranus, Neptune & Pluto, which are said to have generational significance rather than individual significance in most cases, due to their very slow (years long) rotations around the sun.

The 27 Tritype Discriptions

INTRODUCTION:

This took me FOREVER. Ever since I’ve learned about tritypes I have lamented at the lack of cohesive resources on the subject. All the information is scattered and disorganized across many platforms and its simply frustrating to find and research. I figured I would do my civic duty to this community and compile this information. This is the 27 Tritypes put together in a cohesive and simplified manner.  

I would like to say that I only wrote about 20% of this. All I did was put the information togeather, make it fit, and add in info when it was lacking. Please let me know if you have anymore questions!

Sources: 

The 27 Tritypes is a theory by Katherine Chernick Fauvre, her website is http://www.katherinefauvre.com/tritype/ 

Most of the information came from >>THIS THREAD

The Mentor: 125, 251, 512

Gut: 1 Heart: 2  Head: 5

Mentors want to help others with the information they have acquired. They love being the stoic guidance counselor. Caring, practical, knowledgeable. They can be very controlling, and sometimes try to force advice on others, but it is often very helpful. They have high expectations for others and push them to be their best. They should try to be less judgmental of others and not over-give. Your life mission is to use your wisdom to provide the information needed to manifest ideals that help those in need. A true mentor, you are happiest when you can help others improve themselves. They could make great teachers – they are precise, ethical, thorough, intellectual, disciplined, but also altruistic and willing to help other people. They are usually moral and righteous individuals, who have high ideals and are willing to stand by a cause they believe in. Their interest in people and commitment to knowledge and improvement can turn them into crusaders for theories and systems that can make the world a better place.

The Supporter: 126, 261, 612

Gut: 1 Heart: 2 Head: 6 As a Supporter, you are discerning, caring and inquisitive. You want to be ethical, helpful and cooperative. Highly responsible, you are most comfortable when you do things by the book and know what to expect. Focused on the needs and concerns of others, you seek ways to be of service. Your life mission is to find structured ways to give, and be of assistance to others. A true helper, you are happiest when you are in a position to support others achieve their goals. You can be overly fixed in your opinion of what is right and be rigid in your expectations of yourself and others and thus come across as disapproving or militant. This type ignores their own desires. They are very loyal and act as they feel they should and often for others. They want to serve and they tend to expect others to as well. Fear of desperateness, humiliation and doubt. Tendency to seek things they will accept, approval and assurance. This is absolutely the “caring friend” archetype.

The Teacher: 127, 271, 712

Gut: 1 Heart: 2 Head: 7  

As a Teacher, you are a person needing to find structured ways to play and be of service. They like to teach and to support others. It’s the classic elementary school teacher archetype that wants to find innovative but structured ways to make learning or improving enjoyable to people. The blindspot is they can become so attached to their way of doing “fun” and innovation that they can gloss over negative feelings that need to be addressed or become too rigid in their expectations thus making things not fun. You love discovering new things and sharing what you learn with others. Your mission is to help those in need of guidance, hope, and inspiration. You can also be hyper-focused on keeping things overly positive and upbeat. Your growing edge is to be willing to experience emotional pain. You can be overly identified with positive emotions and appropriate behavior. Negative emotions teach us what we are feeling and are an important aspect of any decision making process. A true teacher, you are happiest when you can use your teaching skills to make learning a creative and enjoyable experience

The Technical Expert: 135, 351, 513

Gut: 1 Heart: 3 Head: 5

The Technical expert is driven, self disciplined, success and image oriented (but the image is not one of flash. It’s ALWAYS perfect and appropriate.)…discerning, self demanding and judgmental with a focus on control. Extremely productive and hardworking, she barely gives herself a break, but when she does it’s like a huge release. It’s always planned though…Highly intelligent and focused, but can be narrow-minded at times, even though she’s capable of seeing other perspectives if she’s convinced of the “rightness” of hers she will be harsh, critical and obstinate. You are diligent, focused and knowledgeable. You want to be ethical, efficient and wise. Highly rational, you seek systems and procedures. Detail oriented, you like mathematical concepts and finding ways to breakdown and understand complex material. You are very precise and good with your hands. Your life mission is to be focused and to use your powers of observation to achieve goals. A true technical expert, you feel happiest when you use your knowledge and precision skills to create, achieve and teach.

The Taskmaster: 136, 361, 613

Gut: 1 Heart: 3 Head: 6

As a technical expert you are incredibly discerning, focused and responsible type. She said they will be the most inclined to want to live up to a successful image by societal standards and to focus on duty in order to feel valuable. She called it the “true taskmaster” that is inclined to create structure and rules that others in society can follow and to implement them. She said the blindspot is that one can be so overly focused on the rules that they can lose touch with their own values and feelings in deference to what is acceptable or societally defined. you are diligent, focused and knowledgeable. Elegant, stoic and resolute with a loyal professional veneer. Very self critical. Strong ideas about how they should act and have man guidelines that they must follow and cannot deter from. They can feel like a break from work is a sin, and sometimes only feel okay working. This is one of the hardest workers, if not the hardest worker of the 27 archetypes.

The Flavors of Psychological Taxonomy (Ongoing List)

In the human experiment you are shot out of a womb like a bullet from a gun, aimed at a wall. There are so many things you may hit to slow that trajectory, if they don’t first move out of the way. There are so many things you couldn’t hit if you tried. And you, this organic projectile, are a simple wriggling organism barely aware of where you’re headed and completely oblivious to how long you may have, perhaps grappling with the notion that you may delay your arrival at the final destination, but still ultimately on certain course at a certain velocity unless, perhaps by screaming loudly enough, or by dumb luck, someone or something can be moved to deflect you, to change your trajectory. In any event, one day you will hit a solid wall and that will be the end of this momentum, perhaps before you have even thought to ask what the point is or what you might do in this mayfly hour. From whence did I come? How do I differ from the other projectiles in this missile rain?

We can hardly do anything about the momentum, and if there is to be any change of direction, there are strategies which may or may not work. Might as well look into them to consider the options, I’d say, although perhaps I am mistaken. It may be odd to conclude with the question, “Why not retreat inwardly and take some quizzes set forth by your fellow projectiles both in flight and spent?”

At any rate, these are my recommendations:

Visual DNA

This Big 5 test is very flawed in that the questions are highly contextual. That said, I quite like the visual format, and when you add “most of the time” / “in most situations” to the questions, it seems to produce reasonably consistent, accurate numerical assessment.

The result explanation is rather superficial, horoscopy & useless, but the percentages and graphic presentation of the results are satisfying - I advise taking the test and then looking up an explanation of the results elsewhere.

MBTI options: The Global 5 (Big 5) is more respected by the psychology community, and offers a more accurate breakdown of “thinking” and “feeling” types (a rather muddy classification given its extreme dependency on context). However, the 16 archetypes offered by the Myers-Briggs system are handy in that they are easy to reference for research/exploration purposes and have formed the basis for a sprawling internet community of often like-minded individuals.

You have plenty of options from which to choose. When time presents itself, I will indicate number of questions for each & write detailed reviews of these options, but for now I will include some of what I believe and have been told are the most reliable and accurate free (the hell with anyone who tries to con you into paying) options:

16 Personalities test - ranked responses on 1-7 scale. One of my favorites.

25 Quiz (John’s Personality Test)

Keys to Cognition test

Humanmetrics test

41q test

Similar Minds

Enneagram Tri-types: I find the basic Enneagram inanely simplistic, offering fewer classifications of human psychological types than even astrology. However, it does produce consistent results - or at least in my case, the results have been reasonably consistent over the years - in that, in any given case I am classified as one of three types, and routinely score highest in those three types, with one being more routinely received as a verdict than the other two*. There isn’t a lot of documentation offered on Enneagram Tri-Type theory, but as I uncover some, I will publish it on this blog in an effort to make it more accessible to people.

The link I’ve provided does not assess tri-types officially, but it does provide ranked results, which allows you to discern for yourself what your tri-type might be. There are two tests offered by this link. I think the Classic asks better questions, but the second is more thorough and, for what it's worth, includes the instinctual subtype.

*(5-8-4 or 5-4-8.)

Spirit Animal: this test is hella legit.

Global 5/SLOAN: 

Big 5 Word Pair (30 ranked 1-7): Choose a position on a spectrum between two options (as words).

Big 5 Word Test (65 ranked 1-5 questions): I’m including this one simply to acknowledge its existence and say that it is bogus. Inquisitiveness scores were incredibly low, accommodation scores deviated from standard by ~10%.

New Big 5 (55 ranked 1-5 questions): A basic, accurate Global 5/SLOAN test that gives you the benefit of a doubt for emotional stability. Results include % of each SLOAN trait, along with your SLOAN ‘type’ and a link to a possibly disparaging assessment of your character, if you’re an introvert. If you’re an INTJ, this may seem hilarious, but if you’re feeling psychological frail, tread with care.

Big 45 (225 ranked 1-5 questions): This is a long test. But it breaks the SLOAN traits (Social/Reserved, Limbic/Calm, Organized/Unstructured, Accommodating/Egocentric, Non-curious/Inquisitive) into ‘trait clusters’, measuring, with specificity, their manifestation. For example, Extroversion is comprised of: gregariousness, sociability, assertiveness, poise, leadership, provocativeness, self-disclosure, talkativeness, and group attachment; this test measures those traits and averages the percentages into an overarching ‘extroversion’ score as well.

Personal DNA: Simple, but possibly entertaining.

Holland Career Code (RIASEC): The results have changed for me over the years, but only with respect to my tertiary trait, which was always close. It has changed as a result to gaining more experience to inform my answers (i.e. having tried things that I didn’t believe would be enjoyable but turned out to be shockingly pleasant, and having tried other things with a positive expectation that was routinely disappointed)

Admittedly, I don’t know if this is the best version of the RIASEC, so if you have alternative, better options feel free to send me a note. This post is very slapdash at present.

"There's way more than just 16 types of people"

Of course there are… We arent saying there are just 16 types.

There are 16 MBTI types And 9 Enneagram types Which combine to make 27 archetypes And each archetype has 6 different stacking orders And there’s also 3 different instinctual variants Which can be stacked in 6 different ways

So let me see…

16*27*6*6=15,552

That sounds about right.

So yes, we are trying to fit you into one of 15,552 boxes and still account for free choice and level of emotional and mental health.

Wow. That semi-arbitrarily INFP one is stirring.

MBTI types as things my history teacher has said

ISFJ: Alright, so who started the Pullman Strike? ……Guys, I literally just told you.

ESFJ: (bursts into the room, completely frantic) GUYS, WHAT WAS TODAY’S ANIMAL FUN FACT? I MISSED IT

ISTJ: When I was in middle school I had a bus driver named Animal. He gave pot to the kids in the back and he didn’t use turn signals.

ESTJ: Any corpses in the fish tank yet? No? Wow, so they survived winter break this year.

ISFP: I get so excited when students raise their hands, but then it’s always to go to the bathroom.

ESFP: I’m pretty sure I wrote “spice it up” on every single one of your essay introductions.

ISTP: My son came in crying yesterday because kids threw snow at him. I was like, dude, you agreed to the snowball fight.

ESTP: Lemme see if I can– (turns around and tosses a crumpled ball of paper over his shoulder, nearly punching a student) (paper ball bounces off the edge of the trash can) Drat. 

INTP: You guys know I’m good at coming up with crappy justification for things. So with the Native Americans… Nah, we were just being jerks.

ENTP: A few years ago I had a senior, and once a day for like a month she would jump-and-roll into my classroom and shoot me with a Nerf Gun. I wasn’t even mad, just kinda amazed.

INTJ: I always carry a copy of the Constitution with me. I’m waiting for the day someone says I’m violating their rights, so I can whip it out and say “Show me, schmuck.” 

ENTJ: Just saying, I personally sided with Alex on this one. I mean, what, are we gonna keep government cash in a shoebox or something? Make a bank, Thomas.

INFJ: I know I bombarded you guys with a lot of work this week, so to make up for that, I’ll be showing you this video. It’s me when I was 19 years old, edited into a Star Trek episode.

ENFJ: Yeah I got permission and I just, yknow, dug through some of Goodwill’s donation boxes. Cause I gave one of my daughter’s old dolls away, but then she asked where it was and I felt bad. 

INFP: (trying to stop the Youtube autoplay feature before the video changes) SOMEBODY HELP ME

ENFP: (watching himself in the aforementioned Star Trek video) Look at the passion!

The NT obsession with Post Singularity Storytelling

Hey, INTx story writers, When the extroverted sensors latch onto dystopian fiction, we can quasiunanimously agree that it's time to move on. But we should ask ourselves, "How post-singularity is TOO post-singularity?" I'm talking to yu, Charles Yu, Jeff Noon, and Luis Borges. And you, Quantum Thief author, Hannu Rajaniemi. This is getting out of hand.

INTP Weaknesses:

http://bub.typepad.com/idea_froth/2006/04/intp_weaknesses.html

… If someone attempts to make a sarcastic, mocking comment about an interest of an INTP, the latter will defend himself with a pure, almost naive seriousness, explaining his position with a severe exactness, wielding his words like swords. This almost always disarms the mocker who does not expect such a penetrating defence. The INTPs defence usually also contains a subtle but biting attack thrown back in the mocker’s face, chiefly because the INTP cannot entirely hide the fact that he believes his opponent to be stupid. Such confrontations might develop rapidly into physical ones, a danger that the INTP should be aware of. This ability to wield words with cutting precision is one of the INTP’s greatest assests, but equally one of his most deadly traits. He is capable of using words creatively to penetrate deep into the understanding of a subject, but if not checked and wielded carelessly, his words can become highly destructive….

…lack of ability to show active empathy with people undergoing strong emotions… Often, the INTP does not really know how to empathize and may feel discomfort and helplessness, especially when he understands the rational basis for the emotions. He may become frustrated that the person remains unhappy in spite of hearing his Thinking-based solutions. Much worse is when the emotional person appears to be being irrational. INTPs detest irrational emotion above all things. INTPs must take a very wide berth around people who appear to be irrationally, outwardly emotional…

… one of the more serious weaknesses of an INTP is that the sensing function makes little inroads out into the external world. INTPs are usually oblivious to external details unless something forces them to take notice… When an object is put aside, not to be returned to for a while, it will lie fully ignored until used again. Objects which lie unmoved for more than about 48 hours usually become invisible to the INTP, until such time as he has a use for them again… Indeed, less mature INTPs have a reluctance to move objects at all, for the desire to remain detached and not physically interact with the world can be strong…

philolzophy:

So we were asked to explain the various Myers-Briggs types in our own words after we posted a few things about the Kardashians’ and other celebrity’s MBTIs. So we decided to choose an archetypal TV/movie character to define each type.

ENTJ - Jack Donaghy. Mr. Donaghy is the epitome of an executive: confident, uncompromising, well-respected, incredibly successful, cunning, caught off guard and occasionally undermined by his emotions.

ENTP - Seth Cohen. Like Seth, ENTPs are the only kind of nerd that ‘normal people’ can relate to/actually want to spend time around. Seth has well-developed, niche interests that are dorky and shared by other unapproachable nerds, but he’s outgoing, attractive, and easygoing in a way that other nerds aren’t and that make him seem quirky rather than weird. He is snobby and discriminating about his tastes/preferences but enjoys standing apart from the mainstream, even though he comfortably exists in it.

INTJ - Stewie Griffin. Stewie is a mastermind, evil genius. He is constantly scheming and has analytical abilities far superior to everyone else. Unfortunately he is almost completely out of touch with other human beings which is occasionally to his downfall, but he’s so calculated he usually gets by. Still, I’m pretty sure the Forever Alone meme is just Stewie in his 40s, so reflect on that for a second…

INTP - Dexter. Oh poor little Dexter. He has such a complex mental life that he is so, so incapable of expressing to any other human being. He just comes off as awkward and kind of weird and maybe even dumb, but really he’s just a normal (actually super smart) guy (minus that murder stuff) who’s just real inarticulate. Fortunately for Dexter he is hot so he’s slightly more socially adept than other not-so-attractive INTPs (i.e. Jeff Goldblum as Dr. Ian Malcom from the Jurassic Park series).

ENFJ - Dr. Cuddy. List of character traits of Dr. Cuddy, Dr. House’s boss from the hit Fox television drama House M.D.: altruistically manipulative, ‘unitentionally’ sexy, externally tough yet internally vulnerable, quick, witty, petty and vindicitve under stress.

ENFP - Carrie Bradshaw. Selfish while thinking she is the world’s best friend yet still has an intoxicating/fascinating personality that people want to be around, things come easy to her because she so sincerely believes she deserves them, likes to be the center of attention, doesn’t really believe in anything but claims to have strong (albeit ambiguous) philosophies on life, relationships, sexuality, etc. 

INFJ - Ally McBeal. Quirky but not really in the adorable way, overthinks everything, has theories and an in-depth analysis to explain every single thing that ever happens in her life and expects other people to interpret/behave according to that metric, is very well-respected for her perseverance in all areas of life, dedication, and intellectual commitment to whatever she puts her mind to. Almost entirely unsuccessful in the dating arena via being introvertedly frightened by every man who pays attention to her and loving from afar people who don’t even know she exists.

INFP - Jordan Catalano. Brooding. Self-indulgent. Takes everything personally. Places art/’meaning’/ideas higher than IRL human relationships. Would rather be moody/tortured than actually having a healthy relationship. Has a vast internal mental life but doesn’t really act on it. Is very sweet and sincere and not a douchebag.

ESFJ - Tami Taylor. Tami is the archetypal matriarch (if you’re a man just think ‘provider’). She is sensible, wholesome, compassionate, and reliable. She’s also a bit wishy-washy and likely to change her view based on what others think and her desire to impress them. At the end of the day she comes off blameless, but she’s not perfect either (in the approchably realistic way).

ESFP - Joey Tribbiani. Loud, stupid, kind, unpretentious, fun, unreflective, uncomplicated, easy to be around, lacks emotional/intellectual depth but you don’t really mind.

ISFJ - Carol Brady. Gender-rolesy to the max. Defferential. Loving. Boring. Lacks personal identity outside of her family.

ISFP - Linus. Dopey, sweet, unassuming, likeable, immature, slightly regressive.

ESTJ - Blair Waldorf. She’s super uptight, super ambitious, super intense, super perfectionist, super others-oriented, super intelligent.

ESTP - Ari Gold. The ultimate people person who can sell anything to anyone. Nothing is sacred to him except his own ability to sell himself/his brand/make money. Will fuck over his own wife/family/friends/clients in the process but at the end of the day seems legitimately committed to his job and the people in his life. The most fucking likable human being on earth.

ISTJ - Bill Compton. Bill the vampire from True Blood that bags Sookie season one is the perfect example of an ISTJ. Traditional without regard to non-traditional circumstances, rigid, legalistic, unemotive, quiet. Generally awful to be around except for his ability to ‘complete tasks’ and ‘do favors.’

ISTP - Jason Borne. Borne is the ultimate risk-taker. He kicks ass because of his ability to combine physical strength/capability with mental expertise. He’s like an unstoppable human machine but is also shitty as fuck at emotions. If he wasn’t some secret service reject (aka was a real person) he’d be best off as like a forest ranger or a gym teacher.
