Summary Subjects indicated how aggressive, ambitious, creative, intuitive, and extroverted they thought they were on nine point rating scales and completed the Eysenck Personality Inventory. Each subject also designated a friend who described the subject on the same set of rating scales. As exact birth times were available for subjects, it was possible to determine their sun, moon, and ascending signs. The results showed that the astrological indicators of personality were not related to either self or friends' descriptions of the subjects' personalities.
