10 Ways Your Zodiac Sign Was Interpreted in the ’80s

Astrology in the ’80s was neon, loud, and living rent-free in magazine quizzes and diner conversations. Your star sign didn’t just say who you were, it told you what you should wear, who to date, and whether Mercury was ruining your week. Looking back, it’s a time capsule of cosmic clichés, disco horoscopes, and just a bit too much hairspray.
