How it's used
People often use this term to discuss personality traits based on horoscopes, similar to how Westerners talk about star signs. It is common to hear people ask someone what their sign is by saying 你係咩星座. While it refers to the astronomical constellation, it is far more frequently encountered in casual conversations about astrology and compatibility.
