I absolutely agree in substance that the zodiac and astrology in general is all nonsense, and completely without merit. I have strong confidence that Mr Gindin would agree 100%, though I have not spoken with him on the matter.
If FOF had used, say, a twelve-color system for personality types, and some other random way to assign those personality types, then I suppose that all this hubbub wouldn't have occured -- even if it resulted in exactly the same outcome in meaningful game terms.
I guess where we are is that if you abhor the zodiac concept, you can go a path like that you describe, KSyrup. If you can see past it for what it is (just a proxy), then you're free to use it as much as you like -- the toolbox is right above.
