The Young Sheldon Character You Are Based On Your Zodiac Sign

Sheldon Cooper shows great potential. We know from "The Big Bang Theory" that he ultimately fulfills this potential, but "Young Sheldon" is about how he gets there — and boy, is getting there a process. Like everyone else's, his life is a complicated process of trial and error. Unlike most, however, Sheldon goes about the business of living with a scientist's eye. Whenever he makes a misstep, he evaluates, adjusts, and tries again. Even geniuses need to fail before they can succeed, as he learns for himself. It is this patient, relentless drive for development that makes him a Sagittarius. 

This sign is passionate about knowledge, which might just be Sheldon's dominant trait. And he's not content with the kind of knowledge that lets you ace a math or history test, either. Like Spock of "Star Trek" fame, one of his personal heroes, Sheldon doesn't always understand human emotion — but he really, really wants to. Yet even though he can read a book about virtually any topic and absorb its principles almost immediately, he can't do the same thing with societal norms. Thus, he asks questions at awkward times, speaks bluntly, and never backs down from a topic he's interested in. This might be off-putting, but it's what defines Sagittarius — and it tends to be what takes them far. What's a bit of awkwardness on a journey of boundless curiosity, after all?
