10 LEO: Altmers (High Elf)

The Altmer are considered the elitists of Tamriel. Their society is perceived as the golden standard of art, music, science, crafts, language, and arcanism. They are naturally talented at many things, have great intellects, and are the best magic users in the realm.

Leos would make a good fit for this skilled and talented race. They would thrive as the leaders and innovators of society and while others may see their self-confidence as arrogance it is a required attribute to fight other mages considering the Altmer’s weakness to magic.

9 VIRGO: Argonians

Argonians have a hard time fitting in with the other races, as a result they are slow to trust others and even slower to establish friendships and allies. Once this happens however they are willing to put their lives on the line for those they care about.

Virgos are probably the best fit for this reserved race. There’s a lot of tradition and ritual to Argonians that Virgo’s would thrive under, it also helps that this is a race known for living in the moment, focusing on the minute details the rest of the world doesn’t know exist or care much about.

8 PISCES: Bosmers (Wood Elf)

Bosmer find themselves at home in nature. Though they visit cities, they prefer the wilds and get along better with nature and creatures than they do other folk. Part of this is due to their distaste for rigid rules and traditions that they feel inhibits them.

This is something Pisces can sympathize with very well. Like Bosmer, they suffer when under a monotonous life and feel bound by rules, expectations, and standards imposed upon them by others. Who better to live a life in the wild, away from civilization where they can tap into nature?

7 AQUARIUS & LIBRA: Bretons

Bretons are philosophers and deep thinkers. Their society favors abstract thinking, those willing to climb professional and social ladders, and humorous individuals. Fortune and glory are the driving ambitions of each member of this quirky society.

Aquarius would enjoy the intellectual conversation that comes with being among Bretons and their innate desire to solve problems would serve them well. Libra would also benefit from a diplomatic society that favors those who use their minds to get ahead and find innovative solutions to problems.

6 CANCER: Dunmers (Dark Elf)

Dunmer are known by other races as being proud souls who are moody and distrust anything outside their clan of friends and family. Those who get to know them find they are skilled individuals capable of wielding a sword, bow, and magic equally in battle. Life may be hard, but they rise to the challenge and defend their family at any cost.

Those under the Cancer sign would find the loyalty and reliability refreshing. Like the Dunmer it takes some time to crack their shell, but once you do you’ll find someone who prioritizes family and enjoys the company of trusted friends.

5 TAURUS: Imperials

Imperials are the conquerors of the world. They’ve managed to ally with or subvert every faction they’ve come across. With their skills at negotiation and haggling they’ve built a prosperous society and are known as some of the most educated, disciplined, and lawful people in Tamriel.

Taurus would thrive in this society as it rewards those who put their heads down and work hard to get things done. As Imperials trade with all cultures and races there are a variety of arts, crafts, and foods that a Taurus would enjoy experiencing.

4 SAGITTARIUS: Khajiit

Khajiits are a nomadic race in Skyrim. Their love of arts, sweet foods, and Moonsugar takes them to various parts of the world to enjoy these and other pleasures. While some see them as hedonists, they are simply a society that wants to experience and enjoy whatever the world can offer them.

Sagittarius types can relate to this in some capacity. The freedom and travel that comes from a nomadic existence would be appealing and would often take them outdoors. It would require extroverts and brave souls willing to try and experience new things wherever they go, something any Sagittarius would thrive at.

3 CAPRICORN & GEMINI: Nords

Nords are the fierce and strong race from the cold northern lands of Skyrim. They have old traditions that run deep and their tough nature makes them excellent fighters, sailors, and mercenaries. They’ll accept outsiders into their homeland, they just wont break bread with them until they’ve proven themselves first.

Capricorns would enjoy the discipline and traditions that come with Nord living. It takes a serious and levelheaded person to survive the cold north and Capricorns are stubborn enough to make it. Geminis would prefer the more adventurous aspect of Nord life, be it on the high seas or fighting for a foreign nation where life requires resourceful and adaptive individuals.

2 ARIES: Orsimer (Orc)

Orcs have been ostracized by the other races and have only been recently accepted, at least to a small degree. This presents a challenge that Orcs readily embrace and gives them a desire to prove themselves either in battle or at the forges. Life is hard for an Orc, but those who are honorable and strong rise to the top.

It would take an Aries to succeed under these circumstances. A boundless enthusiasm, determination and courage is required to overcome obstacles and gain the respect of the other races, a challenge Aries types will jump to.

1 SCORPIO: Redguards

Redguards are a race of proud and independent souls. They are adventurers who use their natural athleticism and resourcefulness to carve a name for themselves. Unlike other races, their traditions aren’t perceived as a list of do’s and don’ts but rather ideals to aspire to.

Scorpios would thrive as Redguards given their stubborn and brave natures. Be it serving a guild faithfully or leading an army into battle Scorpios are fierce enough to make solid Redguards.
