Even if astrology is complete nonsense, it's a neat memory exercise to know the Zodiac inside and out.
Plus, committing the star signs to memory lays the groundwork for memorizing the months of the year in any language – fast!
The memory skills needed to memorize Zodiac and horoscope info all begin with accepting one fundamental truth:

The Undeniable Truth About Your Imagination
A lot of people attracted to memory techniques get hung up on the idea that mnemonics involve visualization.
Not true!
Memory techniques involve imagination, and…
If you're reading and understanding these words now, you definitely have one.
Each letter and every word is an image…
Your brain is rapidly transforming these micro and macro images into sounds and meanings…
And delivering these meanings to the Understanding Nations in your brain.
Introducing VACKSOG… The United Nations Of Your Brain
That's right:
Your brain is a United Nations of Understanding.
Together, your internal "UN" understands a variety of images:
Visual Auditory Conceptual Kinesthetic Spatial Olfactory Gustatory
When we put all of these together, we make your memory "Magnetic."

Don't know Rocky Horror Picture show?
No problem! Any Other Janet Or G.I. Jane Will Do!
Perhaps even a close match like Jane Fonda. Or Janie from that Aerosmith song…
The important point is to associate the Janet you pick with an object and an action.
Smashing a jar of jam on the ground works well. Especially if you can make the jam specific.
(Note: Some people in the memory training world call such a chain of associations PAO, and this is a rare case where I would use a small PAO set for a limited purpose. Here's why I normally do not use a PAO system, however.)
Like the raspberry jam your babysitter used to make.
Or the BOB jam in Sweden you remember from camping near Östhammar back in 2013.
