"What's your sign?" is slowly being replaced with more 2016-centric questions like "What's your favorite Snapchat filter?"

For those who believe in the power of the stars, there are plenty of ways to honor your astrological truth while still 2016-ing it up on Snapchat.

So we looked into Snapchat's crystal ball to determine which lens filter is best for you based on your zodiac sign.

Aries

March 21 - April 19

Aries are typically adventurous and always down to try new things – like being anthropomorphic unicorns vomiting rainbows.

Taurus

April 20 - May 20

Tauruses are wise and nurturing but can be stubborn. If a Taurus wants to peer at you from behind fabulous shades reflecting sunny California even though it's clear that's not where they are, nothing will stop them.

Gemini

May 21 - June 20

Geminis are affectionate, curious and quick learners – just like puppies.

Cancer

June 21 - July 22

Cancers are known for being genuine and caring – so when they're feeling blue, they know it's okay to express that. Enter the pout filter.

Leo

July 23 - August 22

Leos love to be the center of attention – in the best way. The classic pretty wash will give an attention-happy Leo just a touch of extra glow.

Virgo

August 23 - September 22

Virgos are kind, ethical and practical, so they would want to use Snapchat to its full advantage. The glowing butterflies filter adds a pretty and kind glow to all the faces it graces, which is definitely practical on a selfie-centered app like Snapchat.

Libra

September 23 - October 22

Libras are peaceful and all about balance, so of course they would get along handsomely with Snapchat's famous flower crown.

Scorpio

October 23 - November 21

Scorpios are intense, full of energy and passionate. So the super zoomed in face closeup definitely wouldn't phase them.

Sagittarius

November 22 - December 21

The average Sagittarius has a great sense of humor, so naturally they would never shy away from the crazier filters – namely, the one that turns your face into a giant, scary, misshapen fruit or vegetable.

Capricorn

December 22 - January 19

Responsible, disciplined Capricorns also exhibit self-control and a bit of mystery. The Harry Potter/hipster/nerd glasses that somehow make vision blurrier instead of clearer therefore make perfect sense for a Capricorn.

Aquarius

January 20 - February 18

Aquariuses are simultaneously shy and eccentric, so you know they would rock the new filter that transforms people into swirly blue aliens floating through a galaxy.

Pisces

February 19 - March 20

Pisces are known for being friendly, compassionate and selfless. While they are nothing like real-life bees, Snapchat's bee filter is adorable and comes with a silly voice – the most Pisces a bee could ever be.
