All of us are human, but have you ever wished you could be something more? If you were a superhuman, what would your powers include? What would be your kryptonite? Find out what superpower you would have based on your zodiac sign. The element of the sign (Air, Water, Earth, or Fire) will also be indicated by the symbol next to the name of the sign: (F) Aries (March 22-April 19) – Super strength: Aries want to get everything done and in a superhuman world, the strength of their muscles would match that of their determination. Their dynamic energy compliments their need to show off and be in charge. However Aries would need to restrict themselves, as their hot-headedness may tempt them to use their strength for violence or evil. (E) Taurus (April 20- May 20) – Atmokinesis (control weather): Taurus are very smart and realistic. The most efficient way to take control and shift everyone’s mood is a sudden thunderstorm or a surprise rainbow. They value stability and convenience. If they controlled the weather, they would likely make it very mellow and beautiful every day, seldom using their powers for harm. (A) Gemini (May 21- June 20) – Shapeshifting: Geminis are known for being changeable, two-faced, and somewhat unpredictable. With so much energy, Geminis can have a hard time choosing which part of their personality to display. They have so many different moods that they need a different look for each one.
(F) Fire (A) Air (E) Earth (W) Water
(W) Cancer (June 21-July 22) – Mind control: Due to Cancers’ emotional, sensitive, and intuitive nature, manipulation comes easily to them. Confrontation is not their style, so ideally, they prefer to win an argument with as little disagreement as possible. With the power of mind control, it would be even easier for Cancers to make everyone agree with them.
(F) Leo (July 23-August 22) – Telekinesis: Leos already know they have the power to accomplish anything. They have full control of their life, surroundings, and happiness. However, this power may go to their head as they would no longer have a need to move, and would likely become too lazy to fight crime.
(E) Virgo (August 23-Sept 22) – Omniscience (knows everything): Many Virgos may already consider themselves all-knowing, and enjoy nothing more than to share their extensive knowledge with others. Lovers of teaching and healing, Virgos are powerful, caring people who have a strong need to help others and solve problems.
(A) Libra (Sept 23-Oct 22) – Invisibility: Libras are social butterflies and love to be surrounded by friends and family. However, in the back of their carefree minds, Libras know that the only person they really need is themselves. Conflict and negative energy may quickly drain Libras and leave them feeling stressed or exposed. In situations where they can’t find the perfect balance, Libras want only to disappear into the background.
(W) Scorpio (Oct 23-Nov 22) – Shadow manipulation: Mysterious, intense, and possessive, Scorpios may come off as shy even though they yearn for power. The most possessive of all the signs, their calm appearance masks many hidden emotions and thoughts. Scorpios already love to watch life from the shadows, quietly observing others. They simply want to stay out of the limelight and live a private, passionate life filled with special people.
(F) Sagittarius (Nov 23-Dec 22) – Teleportation: Sagittarius have restless souls and seek adventure. A fan of new experiences, Sagittarius are bored by tradition and wish to explore cultures unlike theirs. They love to learn about everything that is beyond their typical mindset. The ability to teleport anywhere instantly would please Sagittarius, as all they really want is an escape.
(E) Capricorn (Dec 23-Jan 22) – Time control: Not to be mistaken for time travel, Capricorns would have the ability to stop, slow, reverse, or fast-forward through time. These people have big goals and yearn to be successful in life. The ability to control time allows them to plan out their every move or skip through the boring parts of life. They could pause time at their peak and live their best life forever, if they wanted.
(A) Aquarius (Jan 23-Feb 22) – Clairvoyance (see the future): Progressives, Aquarius are trying to revolutionize society and bring change to the world. In addition to shaping our society’s future, Aquarius already have strong intuition and would get much more done if they knew about the future beforehand.
(W) Pisces (Feb 23-March 21) – Healing powers: As Pisces tend to forgive everyone who wrongs them, they tend to be taken advantage of more often than some others. Pisces are emotionally forward, loving, and trusting. Though forgiving and forgetting is no big deal for them, they only wish they weren’t so easily damaged by others.
