Is it wrong in Islam, to know about the general characteristics of people belonging to each zodiac sign.

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Askimam.org

We know that reading about future is prohibited, but what about just the characteristics? Jazakallaah khair

Answer

The zodiacal signs evolve from the ancient Babylonia and moved into
China , India, the West etc. They in turn added their traditions and
practices
to it .So being conceptulized by man and based on traditions and myths that
are man made cannot be used to make a judgement that people born under the
same sign share the same or similar
characteristics.

Zodiocal signs being the tools of fortunetellers and soothsayers rules out
the use of these
signs as Stated in a HAdith ” Whoever goes to a fortuneteller or soothsayer
and believes in what he says then he has disbelived in what has been
revealed to Muhammad (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam).
