I mistrust any formulaic approach. Characters are not a set of attributes. Characters are a mass of contradictions and moods. They are shaped by the sum total of the experiences the writer places them in, and how they react to those situations.

Observe real people in real situations. Pay particular attention to when people you thought you knew take you completely by surprise.

I have a general idea of my protagonist and other characters but for the most part I define them even to myself by writing my story.

I guess if 'real people' can be placed into the 'boxes' of zodiacs by their character, then it can also apply to fictional characters. Just don't let it overrule the natural flow of the character
