I assume they mean something along the lines of "you are optimistic and open to opportunity." But that's probably because that's what <i>I</i> took away from the movie. (There were parts I waved a dismissive hand to). I can't imagine going to a job interview and being asked what my signs are. I think I wouldn't even want to work for such a person! Not that I'm against people who like astrology, but to actually use it as a basis for making decisions - about another person? Eek!

LOL. I just wonder why they want that information - I mean, what information is that going to give them that they don't trust themselves to ask or be able to figure out during the interview?
