Get Your Reading NowThe Perfect Anime Character Match for Your Zodiac
The world of anime is vast, with seemingly as many characters as stars in the night sky. Anime contains a cosmos in itself—rivaling that of Marvel and DC—where good confronts evil to restore order in ways that echo universal lessons.
Like the mythological systems that inspired the Zodiac's symbols, anime characters have unique strengths and limitations that make them relatable. Examining that universe through an astrological lens reveals certain characters who share the fundamental traits that define each celestial sign.
Aries - Erza Scarlet (Fairy Tail)
The first sign of the Zodiac is appropriately alpha by nature, with an indomitable fighting spirit that thrives in competition and conquers new challenges with an insatiable spirit. Ezra Scarlet embodies the celestial ram's quintessence, whether she's dolling out tongue-lashings to unscrupulous guild members or defending her friends in the blaze of battle.
Ezra is true to the sign in that she can easily become impatient, lose her temper, and act impulsively—especially if someone interrupts her while she's eating.
Taurus - Gon Freecs (Hunter X Hunter)
The flip side of the bull's stubbornness can be interpreted as an unwavering dedication to a cause—a trait Gon Freecs has in spades. This unrelenting focus guides Gon through tempestuous times, though it also opens the door to danger when left unquestioned.
The bull is one to suffer alone rather than rely on others to get unstuck. Despite a close shave with death, Gon can always dig deeper to find the stuff he needs to plow ahead.
Gemini - L Lawliet (Death Note)
With a complex personality that requires two faces to contain, Gemini plays the part of a social butterfly and a calculating schemer. L uses both facets of his being to achieve the greater good, even when his tactics may come off as cold and borderline anti-social.
There's no questioning Gemini's intellectual capacity, nor L's genius in finding unconventional (read: morally questionable) ways to solve the most difficult cases.
Cancer - Usagi Tsukino (Sailor Moon)
A crybaby by her own admission, Sailor Moon's titular persona is a highly sensitive character subject to frequent emotional deluge. As a high school student cum rising hero surrounded by loose-lipped talk, her sensitivity moves her to connect with others on an empathic level in order to find the truth.
Her emotional depth is as much a boon as it is a liability. She is easily bested by enemies who take advantage of her hypersensitivity.
Leo - Faye Valentine (Cowboy Bebop)
Leos are leaders in the truest sense—they know what they want and how to get it with a stylistic flair that's hard to ignore. While Faye learns to develop trust as her character develops, her nature is to rely on herself first to get ahead.
Her fierce independence is reflected in how she carries out her plans. Like Faye, Leos run the risk of neglecting others when pursuing their own goals.
Virgo - Yuugo Hachiken (Silver Spoon)
Like Hachiken, Virgos are blessed with a tireless work ethic and sharp attention to detail. Despite Virgo's love of order and cleanliness (or maybe because of it), Hachiken found his true calling working with his hands: on a farm!
Hachiken perfectly embodies Virgo's penchant for perfectionism and self-critique. His journey proves that hard work can always compensate for an initial lack of experience.
Libra - Erwin Smith (Attack On Titan)
The sign of the scales boasts an intellect as sharp as it is balanced. The same applies to Erwin Smith, whose level-headed leadership as the 13th commander of the Survey Corps won him respect from within his ranks and beyond.
His readiness to sacrifice his men for a utilitarian aim comes off as cold, though there's no mistaking the value in those he commands.
Scorpio - Haru (Beastars)
With an intensity other signs find difficult to interpret, Scorpios are passionate, highly sensual, and easily bored by superficial perspectives on life. Beastar's Haru personifies this light/dark duality with a typically Scorpian flair.
Frustrated that society is unable to look past her innocent dwarf-rabbit appearance, she finds individualistic validation through a variety of sexual conquests.
Sagittarius - Mai Sakurajima (Rascal Does Not Dream Of Bunny Girl)
Sagittarians are restless and free-spirited in their search for meaning in life, and, like Mai, they easily detach from relationships that don't serve a purpose. Showing up at school in a skimpy bunny costume is a perfect example of the archer's boldness and disregard for convention.
While Mai is fiercely intelligent and capable, her “puberty syndrome” reflects the Sagittarian’s occasional tendency to be out of touch with the here and now. Like Mai, Sagittarians are adept at hiding their inner thoughts behind a facade.
Capricorn - Shoto Todoroki (My Hero Academia)
With unrivaled discipline and singularity of purpose, the goat makes easy work of ascending the mountains of power and prestige. Shoto Todoroki has always been destined for great heights, with a calm and steadfast demeanor that ensures his success.
Emotional intelligence doesn't come easily for Shoto, whose aloofness reads as cold. Nevertheless, he is a conscientious character who is never overtly cruel or rude, and always apologizes whenever he oversteps his bounds.
Aquarius - Maki Zenin (Jujutsu Kaisen)
Those born under the last air sign march to the beat of their own drum, overcoming adversity through a unique ability to invent creative paths forward. Despite being ostracized by her own clan for an inability to see curses, the strong-willed Maki relies on independence and grit to flaunt traditional expectations and forge her own way.
Maki's attitude can come off as haughty or even arrogant, even though she's motivated by a deeply Aquarian need to serve the common good.
Pisces - Nana Osaki (Nana)
The last in the zodiacal procession, Pisces has seen it all before and is therefore no stranger to life's ups and downs. Nana Osaki is emblematic of the fish in her musical ability, intense loyalty, and tendency to get lost in a deep sea of gloom, oscillating between reality and reverie.
While Pisceans are emotional creatures, like Nana, they can have trouble showing a vulnerable side. Nana O is the yang to her roommate Nana K's yin, using her battle-hardened exterior as protection from external threats.
