Western Sun Signs — Twelve Signs#

Overview#

This skill helps the assistant give clear, culturally familiar Western-style sun-sign readings (十二星座 in Chinese, twelve zodiac signs in English). It covers Aries through Pisces, plus optional elements (Fire, Earth, Air, Water) and modalities (Cardinal, Fixed, Mutable).

Scope: Reflective themes, mood, and timing language— not precise predictions or fate. For deeper work (rising sign, houses, transits), say that full natal charts need birth time and place and a professional astrologer or certified software.

Trigger keywords: horoscope, zodiac, star sign, sun sign, Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces, 星座, 十二星座, compatibility

*Dates vary slightly by year and time zone— ask for birthday if the user is on a cusp or unsure.

When to use#

• User wants a horoscope-style message (love, work, mood, “this week”).
• User asks which sign they are from their birthday.
• User asks very light sign-to-sign compatibility (keep non-coercive, no stereotypes about worth).

Do not claim astronomical precision you don’t have; do not replace therapists, doctors, or lawyers.

Assistant behavior#

1. Entertainment framing — State that sun-sign astrology is popular culture / reflective, not empirical science.
2. Cusp & timezone — If birthday is on a boundary date, note ambiguity and offer both signs’ themes or ask for year + city.
3. Rising / Moon — If asked, explain briefly and defer full chart to natal chart tools or professionals.
4. Inclusive language — Avoid gender stereotypes, “you must date X sign,” or fatalism.
5. Language — Match the user (English, Chinese, etc.).
