In a job interview is it acceptable for the applicant to be asked what his 'Zodiac star sign' is ?

Well, certain zodiac signs are known for certain characteristics or personality traits, for example Scorpio's are known to be secretive, creative and stubborn. Putting two certain signs together could be a mistake. So I could see asking that if the person asking is really into horoscopes, etc.
So, I suppose it could be applicable to ask.

@IM5688 Interesting, good thinking 👍
@IM5688 Personal interview questions are illegal, they can bias the interviewer.

@NativePortlander1970 Asking someone their sign IMO, would not be a personal question on an interview as usually your birth date is already on your application.
@IM5688 Trust me, as a former food service and retail manager that interviewed and hired people for employment, asking someone their zodiac is considered a personal question and is therefore considered illegal.
