Get Your Reading NowThe Best Meme To Describe Each Zodiac
Each sign of the Zodiac represents a distillation of cosmic forces into character form—the culmination of thousands of years of wisdom into a set of defined personality traits, abilities, and tendencies. On your way to becoming the friend-group resident astrologer, you've kept up on the major differences between each sign but need a way to convey each sign's essence, both directly and memorably. Why not do it with a meme?
While these digital manifestations of humanity's collective cyber humor are primarily designed to crack smiles rather than open minds, they are nonetheless sticky and poignant. Whether you are looking for a mnemonic device to remember each sign's dominant traits or are wondering which meme best represents your truest self (or someone close to you), the following list pairs the internet's most shareable knee-slappers with each Zodiac sign.
Aries: The Northwestern Crying Kid
Their work ethic is strong, but Aries' desire to win is stronger. These passionate fire signs love competition but can have a hard time stomaching a loss. The Northwestern crying kid (John Phillips), known for his expressive reaction to Northwestern's loss to Gonzaga in 2017, has quelled his tears—but not his appetite to win.
Taurus: Ludicrously Capacious Bag
The thing about ludicrously capacious bags is that...they're just so darn practical! As the most stubbornly practical sign in the stars, Taurus sees no faux pas in the gargantuan tote—be it for subway flats, camping, or a bank heist with (close) friends. But because Taurus also loves glam, we'll assume it's a Gucci.
Gemini: Do All the Things
The life of the party, Gemini is extroverted, clever, and infinitely curious. A Gemini wants to do all the things indeed—but sometimes has trouble deciding which to do first. These clever air signs make for formidable debate opponents, but watch what you say around them because they can have a hard time keeping a secret.
Cancer: Sad Keanu
Hard exterior? Check. From Neo to the John Wick series, Keanu's got a tough shell. But underneath, there's a softer side. The sad Keanu memes (aka Keanu grieves) highlight Cancer's tendency to become swept up in tides of emotion. But with his own children's charity, Keanu also embodies the Cancerian desire to nurture others.
Leo: Angela Bassett Did the Thing
In Ariana DeBose's 2023 BAFTA rap, the 'thing' Angela Bassett 'did' (and is doing) can be summed up as an undeniably regal attitude in front of the camera, as in life. Like Angela Bassett, Leos are naturally self-assured, have the kind of drive it takes to maintain a decades-long career, and are natural leaders among their peers. Keep doing the thing, Leos!
Virgo: Hangover Genius
Like Alan in the Hangover movies, Virgos have high standards (for themselves and others) and a love of information and entertainment. Unlike Alan, they rarely brag and are self-effacingly modest. That said, their minds are methodical and sharp but prone to over-thinking things and causing stress and tension. Especially when the hotel isn't pager-friendly.
Libra: Great Gatsby
Jay Gatsby, Leonardo's character in The Great Gatsby, typifies so much of the Libra vibe—the ability to say the right thing at the right time, an appreciation for the finer things in life, and an uncanny ability to play the part of a diplomat cum shape-shifter in social interactions. Like the guests at Jay's parties, you might wonder about Libra's ideals. But you can always count on them to win over your doubts with a charming smile. While they exceed at being able to see things from all angles, they are equally as skilled at the art of procrastination.
Scorpio: Disaster Girl
Ahh, yes. Dark humor is like food. And Scorpians are prolific producers of this fine form of sustenance. Like Disaster Girl, Scorpio has a dark side that can be as enticing as it is intimidating, though Scorpio's appetite for fun is nothing short of contagious. Being ruled by Pluto, these water signs can be either destructive or affectionate on any given day—they'll keep you wondering about whether the girl had a hand in the blaze...or not.
Sagittarius: Ermagod Girl
If there's one thing to keep in mind when you hear Sagittarius, it's berks. Well, ok, knowledge. A relentless pursuit of it. Ruled by Jupiter, this sign is always on the move to uncover new truths, both inward and outward. They are happy-go-lucky people and seem to find good fortune wherever they look for it. So if you're out with your (*wait for it*) Ser-gi-tter-i-ers friend and stumble on a used book sale, expect an un-ironic ermagerd berks re-erk-tion.
Capricorn: Corn Kid
First of all, forgive the corny pun, Capricorns. The future CEO of Corn pronounces it 'cawhn' anyway. While the inspiration for this meme is still a tot, his persistence in singing maize's praises (and utter loyalty to the buttery staple) is characteristic of the sea-goat. Corn Kid emits nothing if not clear-eyed vision in his internet debut, along with an unassailable down-to-earth attitude. Have a cawhn-tastic day yourself, sir.
Aquarius: Greta Thunberg
Forward-facing and boundary-pushing, Aquarians are the bleeding-heart changemakers of a new, unfettered, progressive world. While the Greta Thunberg memes have been applied in a wide spectrum of comedic recipes that call for a dollop of brine-cured girl-anger, at their heart they come from a need to ask the types of questions other signs overlook. While they may seem cold or aloof, you'll thank them one day when you thirst for a drop of the truth they carry as the celestial water bearers.
Pisces: Multiverse of Madness
The multiverse has become a massive buzzword in the meme-verse in recent years, though Pisceans have all been wondering why it's taken the other signs so long to catch on. With boundless imagination and natural clairvoyance, the fish see what others don't—theirs is a multiverse condensed to one.
