With streaming services, you’re always spoiled for choice and often spend unnecessary time deciding—if you decide at all. But help is now here, as Netflix plans to use zodiac signs to assist.

And it’s not a bad joke. The company has invested a lot of time and money in constantly developing its recommendation algorithm to serve each customer exactly what they want. But apparently, that’s not enough. That’s why Netflix introduced zodiac sign recommendations last weekend. Indecisive users can now head to the new “Astrology Hub” and enjoy content that supposedly matches their birth date.

Netflix Zodiac Sign Recommendations Updated Year-Round

This was reported by the U.S. industry magazine “The Hollywood Reporter.” It further states that Netflix plans to continuously update the zodiac sign recommendations throughout the year to keep pace with the astrological calendar.

Customers don’t have to disclose their birth date or zodiac sign beforehand to receive the corresponding suggestions. In the “Astrology Hub,” anyone can simply view all recommendations for each sign. However, these can differ significantly from one another.

The Right Movies and Series for Every Zodiac Sign

For example, Scorpios are considered “passionate, charismatic, seductive, and mysterious.” Based on this, they should receive more mysterious content like “Wednesday” or “The Night Agent.” Geminis, on the other hand, are said to be “social, playful, and funny,” so they should be recommended more stand-up comedy or series with “talkative characters.”

Leos are supposed to be “confident, generous, and loyal” and should receive stories about royalty and leaders like “The Crown” or “Bridgerton.” And Aquarians? They are described as “quirky outsiders,” so they should see science fiction and aliens, like “Rebel Moon.”

Whether the Netflix zodiac sign recommendations and the “Astrology Hub” are just a temporary joke or meant to stay permanently is unclear. However, the streaming service has recently introduced new search categories and overview pages to reflect current trends, such as “Hope They Don’t End Up on the Kiss Cam” filled with romantic movies, referencing the well-known Coldplay concert incident. They are also testing a Netflix search that can even detect user mood with AI support.
