Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 may follow the journey of Titus and the Ultramarines throughout the game's story, but it still gives the player insight into the other Space Marine Chapters and what they stand for. Each Chapter is so unique, they can be easily recognized through more than just their colors. They all have a set of principles, behaviors, and views that align quite well with the 12 Zodiac star signs.

When looking at the Zodiac signs and the Space Marine Chapters, it is not a simple connection of likes and dislikes, but more a deeper look at how they view their place in the world, or galaxy-spanning conflict. Whether the Chapter is offensive or defensive, ferocious or focused, optimistic or cynical - their representation in the Space Marines reflects the personality traits of someone's Zodiac sign.

12 Aries - Blood Angels

Assertive And Noble

The Blood Angels embody the fighting spirit and courage of an Aries. Like an Aries, they have an impulsive nature which makes them straightforward in their approach to battle tactics and bloodshed. Due to their suffering from the Black Rage, their emotions can take over and logic is placed in the back seat. The Blood Angels' love for combat can be seen in an Aries' fiery character, never backing down from a fight.

Blood Angels are resilient against internal and external obstacles. Their genetic curse can be a detriment to their honor as a Space Marine, but they resist its control to maintain a noble place within the Chapters. This shows the Blood Angels' and Aries' shared ion and courage in following their emotional impulses with enough introspection to understand the importance of doing what is right in an honorable manner.

11 Taurus - Iron Hands

Standing Steadfast In Their Convictions

The Iron Hands resemble the Taurus in their steadfast belief in bettering themselves and refusing to be restrained by physical limitations. Both the Taurus and the Iron Hands find comfort in materialism, gaining possessions or technological augmentations to more effectively tackle the hurdles in their lives or warfare. They seek security through tangible means, be it from material or mechanical advancement.

A Taurus is known for their tenacity and unwavering strength, much like the bull which reflects the Zodiac sign. The Iron Hands' mantra, "The Flesh is weak. Iron Prevails!" expresses their stalwart resolve in keeping their convictions. This makes them as reliable as a Taurus, who will hold their ground against the constant complications in life without ever bending; as strong as iron.

10 Gemini - White Scars

Victorious In Versatility

A Gemini is famous for its duality; a connection between the opposite and their union in success. A Gemini will be able to shift between concepts that are perceived to be opposite and then use the positive attributes to create the best outcome. This makes a Gemini exceedingly adaptable and reliable. The White Scar Chapter mimics the attributes of a Gemini with their conjunction of offensive and defensive combat styles. They are known for their hit-and-run battle attacks and extreme adaptability on the battlefield. For battle, they are the perfect representation of a Gemini.

Communication is important for both the success of battlefield tactics of the White Scars and everyday problems for the Gemini. To be able to successfully coordinate opposite viewpoints, communication is vital. It is a skill-set that can be used for external situations, such as a strategic strike on a Tyranid Hive, or for balancing two different departments in an office. Either way, a Gemini excels at using their communication skills to realize their duality in the real world.

9 Cancer - Dark Angels

For Death And Duty

A Cancer's emotional depth allows for deep introspection into their past and how it can affect their future. This ability to reflect is represented by the Dark Angels and their collective memory of their time during the Horus Heresy. Their connection to Warhammer 40K's Chaos, long ago but never forgotten, defines their protective nature now. The Dark Angels lean on their protective tendencies in battle where a Cancer uses a protective shell around themselves.

Aspiring to be protective of themselves and others is what expresses a Cancer's nurturing behavior. While the Dark Angels may not be considered particularly nurturing by nature, as most Space Marine Chapters are rough around the edges, their dedication to protecting humanity from the galaxy's numerous threats displays a concept of nuture in a culture where strength and power are paramount.

8 Leo - Ultramarines

Fight For The Imperium

Leadership and loyalty define a Leo, and the lion reigns in the animal kingdom just as the Ultramarine reigns on the battlefield. In the war against the enemies of humankind, their strong sense of justice is inspiring to any person they come across. Once a bond is made between Leos, their loyalty is unwavering. Ultramarines stand beside their brothers through thick and thin, closer than almost any other Chapter.

The Utramarine's sense of justice resonates with a Leo's desire for fairness. To be a great and respected leader, an understanding of what is morally right is vital to succeed. Ultramarines pride themselves on their morality and doing what is right, no matter what stands in their way. A Leo will do the same, standing in front of those who follow them to fight for justice with a mountain of courage to match.

7 Virgo - Salamanders

Devotion To Detail

Armor and weaponry are vital to survival in Space Marine 2 and the Salamanders are exceptional in crafting them for their brethren. A meticulous approach to their craft skills embodies the attention to detail a Virgo is known for. A Virgo is thorough in all their life's endeavors, striving to be precise in completing any task before them. This devotion to detail will mean life and death for a Salamander - faulty weaponry could cause an entire system to be lost to the heretics.

A Virgo understands the benefits of practicality and understands getting something done well rather than with an extravagant flare. The Salamander's use of flamethrowers depicts the practical view of burning the enemy into ashes and getting the job done. There is no need to waste time with blasters and blades when fire is more final than any form of weaponry.

6 Libra - Raven Guard

The Embodiment Of Ensuring Equilibrium

For both the Raven Guard and a Libra, it is important to have a balance of the scales. A Libra will weigh their opportunities and tactfully consider the consequences of their choices, allowing logic to dictate their actions rather than pure emotion. The Raven Guards' skillful appreciation of stealth tactics in combat resembles the logic of a Libra. Handling missions with relatively reasonable bloodshed to achieve the objectives shows the restraint they both share.

Where the Blood Angels and an Aries rely on their emotion to drive them, Raven Guard and Libra are the opposite, processing information slowly to decide the best course of action. That logic and balance helps them work at a steady pace to navigate the most complicated of scenarios without losing their cool.

5 Scorpio - Space Wolves

Ferocious Loyalty And Fierce Fighters

No Zodiac sign exhibits intense ion like a Scorpio. Fierce in everything they do, a Scorpio matches the Space Wolves' warrior spirit with an unstoppable drive to hunt the enemies of humankind. Both are determined in their ambitions, powering through anything that stands in their way, and they both serve as of a wolf pack, protecting their pack tooth, nail, and Helfrost pistol.

Even if fierce in their actions, a Scorpio hides their true feelings with an air of mystery. Opening up too much could make them appear vulnerable, and vulnerability is a death sentence for a Space Wolf. Space Wolves keep the mystery of their Chapter from their brothers and the enemy by working outside the standard methods of the Imperium. They do their own thing and do not care for what others think of it.

4 Sagittarius - Imperial Fists

The Dedicated Defenders

A Sagittarius is optimistic in their approach to life, looking towards the future and what can be, rather than being bogged-down negatively about the world around them. The Imperial Fists represent hope for the future of humankind, standing up for what humanity could be rather than the grim reality the galaxy is currently experiencing. They both express an idea of enthusiastic hope.

Personality is not just about emotion but can also be built on philosophy. A Sagittarius' optimistic outlook is lifted through their philosophical interpretations of their lives. Like a Sagittarius, the Imperial Fists are reflective on the importance of their duty and philosophical about the weight of their duty. Their search for truth can be both seeing the truth of reality but also their own truth.

3 Capricorn - Black Templars

Crusading For Consummation

If Capricorn was a Space Marine Chapter, they would be the Black Templars. To be a Capricorn means an ambitious striving for perfection, having tenacity in the face of adversity, and zeal for achieving greatness. The Black Templers are dedicated to spreading the word of the Emperor across the galaxy and will not rest until every inch of every planet accepts it. It is a crusade that requires no less than perfection.

Perfection is more easily achieved through a discipline and structure to maintain order within the chaos of everyday life. Capricorns thrive when they plan out what they want to achieve, making them predictable but reliable. The rock-hard discipline of the Black Templars is what makes them as successful as they are in their numerous outnumbered conflicts.
