Just in time for Cancer season, Reddit is releasing the first of its kind ‘Reddology Guide’ – a horoscope-based guide to help redditors learn more about their astrological signs and explore Reddit’s various communities.
Built in collaboration with the r/astrology mods and Astrologer Kristy Gray, the Reddology Guide pairs each of the twelve star signs with a community that aligns with the horoscopes’ personality traits. For example, June 20th brings Cancers into the horoscope calendar; and for this star sign, r/emotionalsupport is the best place to start their Reddit exploration journey. Leo, the next in line among the star signs, are encouraged to explore r/casualAMA as they love their time to shine.
“I believe we can all learn so much about ourselves and our communities by leaning into horoscopes and their origins, and Reddit’s new Reddology Guide helps people do just that,” said astrologist Kristy Gray.
“Reddit is home to communities where like-minded thinkers rally around shared passions. the Reddology Guide is a great way to demonstrate how ingrained some of our personality traits are based on our astrological signs. This guide connects users’ star signs with communities that suit their horoscope. I’m thrilled to be a part of such a creative and practical take on astrology.”
Below are each of the star signs and their dedicated Reddit spaces, followed by a short description of each horoscope’s distinct characteristics.
ARIES: MARCH 20 – APRIL 19
r/changemyview
Symbolised by the ram, Aries represents Cardinal Fire and is ruled by Mars. When Mercury is ruled by Mars, it makes a native that is action-orientated, assertive, and driven in communication and learning. Mercury in Aries natives should check out r/changemyview where they can jump head first into debate over whether politicians should have to advertise their donors like NASCAR drivers or if cruise ships are bad.
TAURUS: APRIL 19 – MAY 20
r/cozyplaces
Taurus is the sign of Fixed Earth. Ruled by Venus, those with Mercury in Taurus appreciate calm and soothing settings to keep their minds relaxed. That’s why r/cozyplaces is the place for this sign – with its never-ending stream of beautiful images of comfortable places where a Taurus Mercury can imagine themselves staying put and escaping the world.
GEMINI: MAY 20 – JUNE 21
r/me_irl
Mutable Air is what defines the sign of Gemini. With Mercury itself as the ruler, this sign is naturally sociable, flexible, and irreverent. Mercury really shines in this placement and will love to joke around and make witty observations in r/me_irl.
CANCER: JUNE 21 – JULY 22
r/emotionalsupport
Ruled by and in tune with the emotional moon, Cancer is the sign of Cardinal Water. When Mercury is in Cancer, it has incredible empathy and adeptness at communicating emotion. That’s why r/emotionalsupport is the perfect haunt for those with this placement. The Cancer Mercury natives can put their natural talents into practice as a shoulder to cry on for their fellow internet strangers.
LEO: JULY 22 – AUGUST 22
r/AMA
Fiery and fixed, Leo is ruled by the sun, and the sun loves nothing more than to shine. When Mercury lives in the sign, the native will thrive in the spotlight and be a natural public speaker. Spend some time as the centre of attention in r/AMA, where Leo don’t have to be an actual celebrity to have their fifteen minutes of fame.
VIRGO: AUGUST 22 – SEPTEMBER 22
r/organization
Another Mercury ruled sign, Virgo, represents Mutable Earth. Logical, practical, and systematic, but not afraid of change, Virgo Mercury natives know how to organise time, space and information. Their attention to detail, work ethic, and structured lifestyle makes r/organization a must-be-bookmarked community for this star sign. Here, Virgo can share suggestions on what to do with their space and workplace centre to help keep their hub happy and humming.
LIBRA: SEPTEMBER 22 – OCTOBER 23
r/malefashionadvice and r/femalefashionadvice
The combination of style and judgement are perfect for those with Mercury in Libra. Libra, ruled by Venus, knows what’s beautiful, and when Mercury resides here, they won’t hesitate to share. The sign’s Cardinal Air qualities mean it leads the way in new fashion concepts. In r/malefashionadvice and r/femalefashionadvice, Libra can put their natural gifts to use helping others be as on point as they are.
SCORPIO: OCTOBER 23 – NOVEMBER 22
r/confessions
Because of their listening skills and ability to keep secrets, Scorpio is often considered one of the more mysterious signs. Fixed Water and ruled by Mars, they understand emotions but can handle the darker side of life; which is why r/confessions is the go-to place for Scorpio Mercury natives. In r/confessions, redditors share their secrets, unfiltered opinions, and gossip. These natives will be enthralled by the humorous and outrageous stories ranging from still being in love with an old friend after 3 years to knowing shocking family secrets.
SAGITTARIUS: NOVEMBER 22 – DECEMBER 21
r/unpopularopinion
Ruled by Jupiter and representing Mutable Fire, Sagittarius stands out! When Mercury is here, this star sign is loud and proud and not afraid to share their opinion, no matter what anyone else thinks. These natives will feel right at home in r/unpopularopinion where they will tell you that you aren’t as smart as you think you are and that vanilla doesn’t get the credit it deserves.
CAPRICORN: DECEMBER 21 – JANUARY 20
r/financialindependence
Responsible and practical are two words that perfectly describe this Saturn-ruled Cardinal Earth sign. Those with Mercury in Capricorn are old souls who start talking about their 401k while still in pre-K. They will thrive on giving and getting tips and tricks on early retirement over in r/financialindependence.
AQUARIUS: JANUARY 19 – FEBRUARY 18
r/futurology
Another Saturn-ruled sign, Aquarius uses its Fixed Air energy to cross boundaries rather than erect them. With Mercury here, the native will be inspired by the innovation and technology in r/futurology. Shamelessly revolutionary, Aquarius Mercury natives can explore out-of-this-world content such as the retro but all-electric Ford pick-up, new methods to break down plastic in days, how 1.8M Australians were provided power by wind and solar for six and a half days, and so much more.
PISCES: FEBRUARY 18 – MARCH 20
r/art
Pisces is Mutable Water and ruled by Jupiter. When Mercury lives here, the native is especially creative, receptive, and open to new experiences. These natives are often gifted artists, and their dreamy nature is perfect for r/art, a space where they can express their creativity and imagination. This community is an online museum of content – home to different types of art including the viral Moniz image and the intricate and mesmerising Fibonacci.
