8 ways to spot: Secret animosity

The Zodiac Signs as Wicked Characters
The movie remake of the popular musical Wicked may have been released in 2024 but that hasn't stopped fans from raving, crying and singing along to the songs. I am one of them and while watching the film, I couldn't help but wonder: "What Zodiac fits each character best". So that brings us here. This is all my personal opinion; I will mainly prioritise sun signs but will mention other placements. There will be spoilers So without further ado... Elphaba Thropp - Scorpio Elph

What does your favourite music artist say about you?
This is going to be somewhat satire but as the old saying goes there is some truth in jokes. The Weeknd You’re hot. The Weeknd is known for being one of the greatest male vocalists of our generation. His haunting music will make you feel like you're in a dingy nightclub or a fancy house party in the city. I feel like the Weeknd's fan base isn’t as intense as some (we will get onto those).
