Signs and Their Countries: What’s Your Astro Place?
Ever wondered why some cities just feel like they’re giving major Leo energy? Well, signs and their countries can be explained through astrology. Just like people, nations and cities have their own astrological vibe based on history, culture, and even their “birth” date.
In this post, we’ll explore Signs & Their Countries and you can discover the starry energy behind places around the world — from Capricorn-coded Great Britain to dreamy Pisces North Africa.
Let’s break it down.
How Are Zodiac Signs Assigned to Countries?
Okay, so astrocartography is all about where certain planetary lines run through your personal map (think: how your birth chart interacts with geography).
The idea of countries and cities being ruled by zodiac signs is next-level astro tea.
Just like humans, countries have birth charts which are based on when they were founded, unified, or declared independence, and these dates give them a sun sign.
But astrologers also look at history, vibe, culture, and even the land itself when assigning signs.
Example:
- Great Britain (England, Scotland, Wales): born 25 December 1066 → Capricorn.
- The United Kingdom (includes Northern Ireland): born 3 May 1921 → Taurus.
A lot of this is debated (because history is messy), but that’s part of the magic.
PSA: Don’t Just Google a Country’s Independence Day
Sometimes people assign signs based on a random date they see on Google — like Morocco getting called a Scorpio country. Morocco actually gained independence first on March 2, 1956 (Pisces szn!), not in November when they now celebrate the king’s return from exile.
TL;DR: North Africa is v Pisces-coded. Think dreamy deserts, spiritual oases, and timeless vibes.
Rule of Thumb: Old-School Astro Assignments
I roll with the classic country-sign pairings astrologers used before Google made everyone an armchair expert. If a nation gains independence or majorly shifts (like Barbados going from colony to republic in 2021), we can go with it and check the astro connection at a later date.
