Me and my roommate were chatting it up recently and we got into an interesting discussion. See, I'm really into Astrology and have some friends who study it and he's really into A Song of Ice & Fire and he's been getting me into it. We chewed it around for a while and this is what we came to:

Aries - The Baratheons
Taurus - The Wildlings & The Nights Watch
Gemini - The Targaryens
Cancer - The Greyjoys
Leo - The Lannisters
Virgo - The Freys
Libra - LittleFinger & The Spider
Scorpio - The Martells
Sagitarrius - The Doth'Rhaki
Capricorn - The Tyrrels
Aquarius - The Tullys
Pisces - The Starks

Discuss?

Shouldn't Gemini be the Freys?
like... the Twins?

Also it seems like it's completely random how you're determining it. I'd like to see some of your reasoning behind the choices. Are you basing the pairing off the characteristics that go with the sign or just saying lol i dunno

[Anonymous No.2112049]

>>2112035
Excellent question, I'll provide our basis for what we've put down individually. These pics should help back it up at least partially.

The Barathians
Symbol of House: The Stag (Horned Animal)
Symbol of Aries: The Ram (Notably Horned Sign)
Ruled by: Mars (Planet of War, Masculinity, Passion and Abrasiveness)
1st Sign in the Zodiac: The series begins after Robert has already claimed the Throne.
More to come

Also, for those of you who think I'm making this shit up, good for you, Most of what I'm writing is not just based on my studies of astrology. I'm actually giving you characteristics and traits shared by people I know personally who are of the same sign, which means in all probability it could apply as much to you.

Astrology's a pretty interesting phenomenon really. And A Song of Ice and Fire is entertaining enough for a while. I guess this is a good enough reason to take two completely unrelated things and mash them together with a bunch of pointless blather.

It's called S&G's, mate, and not a lot here seems to be in the sport because they keep shitting their pants anytime they can't get past the word "Astrology" to actually "think" about what's being suggested. Instead, they hold up the "I don't believe in this shit" sign and waste their breath on harmless discussion, and honestly, if a series is good enough to draw comparison's like this than I think that's a compliment to the writing if anything.
