Perhaps it’s the first time you’ve rolled a character in Classic World of Warcraft, or maybe you’re creating an alt and you’re not sure which race to choose. The running gag with MMORPGs is that you spend more time in the character creation screen than actually playing the game, and WoW is no exception.
Why not consult the ancient wisdom of astrology? Everyone has a horoscope sign and you can use the guidance of astrology to find the ideal race to play based on your zodiac sign.
12 Aquarius - Night Elf
Keeping to the cool shadows, the blessing of silence and the peace of nature are where Aquarius and Night Elves overlap. Highly intellectual and physically energetic, the sign of Aquarius is a perfect match with the Children of Elune. Both are defined by water, intellectual conversation, and the color of silver.
11 Aries - Orc
The race that drank the fiery blood of Mannoroth is the ideal match for those born under the sign of Aries. Orcs are always looking for the next adventure, whether it’s a town to pillage or a dragon to slay, and like the passionate Aries, they shun inactivity. The exception, of course, being the lazy peons.
10 Leo - Human
It’s not just because the symbol of the Human kingdom in World of Warcraft is the lion. Leos are spirited, stubborn, warm-hearted, and social, traits shared by the Human race in World of Warcraft.
It’s an important factor that both Humans and Leos tend to be natural leaders, which is an important feature in the game. Stormwind leads the Alliance forces and when it comes to battle, Human fighters are often in leadership positions.
9 Cancer - Night Elf
Night Elves live in a society with plenty of Cancer traits. You could say this zodiac sign was made to play this race. Respect for maternal leadership, a dedicated focus on the moon, and an affinity for water features are all things that Night Elves and Cancer people have in common. Night Elves also have a long memory and are considered to be the oldest race in Azeroth, something else a Cancer can identify with.
8 Pisces - Forsaken
Deeply spiritual and creative, Pisces will be drawn to the mysterious world of the Forsaken. This undead race lives in the present and shuns memories of the past while accepting difficult or unusual things in the present, as a Pisces would do. The world of the Forsaken is colored with the same deep purple and grey-green that dominate the sign ruled by Neptune and Jupiter, which is another interesting parallel.
7 Scorpio - Orc
Passionate and resourceful, but also prone to distrust and even violence, Scorpios are naturally drawn to the Orcs. Common traits like fierce loyalty and true friendship ensure that a Scorpio would feel comfortable as a determined Orc.
Both the zodiac sign and this race are demonstrative when it comes to their emotions and intentions and will often tease the people they care about the most. You always know where you stand with an Orc and a Scorpio.
6 Taurus - Dwarf
Every single Dwarf could be a Taurus. Hobbies like gardening and cooking hearty food are well-suited to both this zodiac sign and the most iconic Classic WoW race on the Alliance side. Reliable and practical with a healthy sense of fun and games, Taurus people will feel comfortable as Dwarves.
5 Sagittarius - Gnome
Freedom, travel, complex plans, and brutal honesty are a few of the defining traits of the Sagittarius sign, and Gnomes are much the same. This articulate race is much bigger than their stature reveals and thrives on change and adventure, making them the perfect match for those born under the sign of the Archer.
4 Gemini - Forsaken
When you’re neither dead nor living, your existence is split between two different worlds. This defining feature of the Gemini sign is also one of the core values of the Forsaken race.
The Forsaken lore is about walking a fine line between good and evil, something the conflicted Gemini would understand. Other Gemini traits that are common among the Forsaken include adaptability and creativity, making them the ideal race for the dynamic Gemini to play.
3 Virgo - Trolls
Virgos would make perfect Trolls. Both are pragmatic, practical, appreciate hard work, and love to be close to nature. The Trolls also have a long history and sophisticated culture that the analytical Virgo would find fascinating. The colorful world of Trolls is filled with creative designs and rich details, another factor a Virgo will appreciate.
2 Libra - Tauren
It’s all about balance and harmony to the gentle Tauren, and those born under the sign of Libra share the same traits. They are both social and peaceful, shunning violence, conformity, and injustice. The Tauren race is deeply connected to the Earth Mother, and they are one of the only two races in Classic WoW who can play the Druid class.
1 Capricorn - Dwarf
Dwarves, like Capricorns, are natural leaders. Those born under the sign of Capricorn are often asked to lead company meetings or initiate group activities, and Dwarves in Classic WoW end up in the same kinds of leadership roles. Dwarves and Capricorn people can be traditional and serious while also exuding spontaneity and joy, and they both appreciate fine craftmanship and practical planning.
