Astrology and mythology have always gone hand in hand.
The constellations themselves are rooted in ancient myths, so it’s only fitting to match each zodiac sign with a mythical creature that reflects its energy, temperament, and essence.
Whether fiery like a dragon or mystical like a mermaid, there’s a legendary counterpart for every sign. And while one creature may stand out as your soul match, we’ve included a few mystical alternatives for each sign to let your imagination roam.
Let’s dive into the mythical side of the zodiac.
1. Aries: Dragon
Aries is pure fire, and no mythical being captures that 火热的, fearless energy better than the dragon.
Bold, commanding, and impossible to ignore, dragons embody Aries’ leadership, ambition, and instinct to charge forward no matter the obstacle.
