"For those of us who grew up alongside Rory and dreamed of living a simple life in Stars Hollow, Gilmore Girls is more than just a TV show. It’s the perfect self-care companion during a relaxing and cozy night at home, a comfort when we’re feeling down, and a way to reminisce with some serious childhood nostalgia. Looking back, the show taught my younger self a lot about love as well. Although the show came to an official close with Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life in 2016, I will revisit Stars Hollow every fall season (Gilmore Girls season) as long as the show is available to stream (consider that a warning, Netflix).
As with any TV show I love, I’ve spent more time than I’d like to admit wondering about the zodiac signs of the characters in the Gilmore Girls-verse. What makes Jess so secretive and Lorelai so talkative (seriously, at times it just feels like we’re listening to a never-ending stream of her consciousness)? Luckily for you, I’ve been analyzing this for years and you don’t have to wonder any longer. Continue on to find out which Gilmore Girls character you are based on your zodiac sign.
Aries
Richard Gilmore
Few characters are as ambitious and straightforward as Richard Gilmore, Lorelai’s wealthy and successful father. Like Richard, Aries always say what’s on their mind and don’t see the point in beating around the bush. They prefer to just get right to the truth, without wasting any time. Aries can also be driven to a fault, and sometimes don’t know when to stop and take a break. It’s just like when Mr. Gilmore ends up in the hospital from stress and then feels helpless and restless once he’s home.
Taurus
Luke Danes
It’s obvious that Luke Danes absolutely thrives in the comfort of his diner, which is also his home. And those traits truly embody the Taurean love for comfort, stability, and delicious food. While he tends to avoid big changes, he’s great at building a comfortable and stable life for the people around him. Despite his negativity, we see a man who values simplicity in life. Plus, it truly takes a Taurean type of dedication to wear nearly the same outfit every day, through all seasons of the show. For a Taurus and for Luke, it’s all in the name of comfort!
Gemini
Christopher Hayden
Because of his absence from Rory’s life and his constantly wanting to be with Lorelai but never showing up for her, Christopher is often one of the least-liked characters on the show. But if you look deeper, he’s really just a misunderstood Gemini. Like a Gemini, he just wants to experience everything he can in life to learn and grow. It’s difficult for Geminis to sit still when there’s so much to see out in the world. And to be fair, he does end up learning and growing from his life experiences, changing from an all-but-absent father to a single dad.
Cancer
Sookie St. James
Although she doesn’t become pregnant with her own child until Season 3, Sookie acts like a second mother to Rory (and even to Lorelai at times) from the very beginning. In typical Cancer fashion, she has a tendency to sacrifice everything for those she loves and to put others’ needs before her own. Sookie is there for the people in her life no matter the circumstance, and just like Cancers, she does everything from a place of love and wants to help those around her live their best lives.
Leo
Miss Patty
There is no better showcase of Leo’s traits of self-expression, creativity, and performance than Miss Patty—she truly puts the “Star” in Stars Hollow. She’s constantly channeling her creative energy into art and performances, and she of course has to make a statement anywhere she goes. Like a true Leo, we often see her spicy side come out, especially when she’s dealing with Kirk (who just has a way of bringing that out in people).
Virgo
Rory Gilmore
Like Virgos, Rory has a certain innocence about her but is also practical and grounded. From choosing a school to attend, to confronting her feelings and deciding between Dean, Jess, or Logan throughout the series, she thinks long and hard about her decisions. Her emotions play a role, but she’s primarily guided by logic. This can get in the way of Rory’s own happiness sometimes—it’s the typical Virgo fear of settling with her. This trait is super apparent when she turns down Logan’s proposal rather than pursuing a more certain future with him.
Libra
Lorelai Gilmore
A social butterfly with the gift of the gab, it’s nearly impossible to think of a more Libra-esque character than Lorelai Gilmore. Even when her opinions are strong or she lets her emotions get the best of her, she can still get along with nearly anyone in Stars Hollow. She’s an absolute natural when it comes to communication and connecting with others, whether it’s dealing with guests at the inn, trying to get Mrs. Kim on board with Rory and Lane’s plans, or flirting with Rory’s handsome new teacher. With such a knack for any and all social interactions, these traits definitely snag Lorelai the Libra spot.
Scorpio
Jess Mariano
With major ‘bad boy’ vibes (every show needs one, right?), Jess is the Scorpio of Stars Hollow. Viewers might be amazed at how he disappears from the scene and then reappears later having written a full novel, but Scorpios can admire his need for privacy and alone time to reach his goals. Their self-work may be behind the scenes, but always improves them for the better. Like Scorpios, Jess has a different, more sensitive side that he reveals to Rory once he gets to know her and can trust her. And once his walls are down, all his hard work can proudly come to light.
Sagittarius
Logan Huntzberger
Sensitive, attentive Logan has all of the characteristics of a Sagittarius who, at their core, wants to break free of the expectations that have been placed on them. When we first meet Logan in Gilmore Girls, he’s desperate to break free of the control of his overbearing parents, and his eventual moves to South America and London are peak-roaming Sag behavior. Rory is his first girlfriend, but he treats her with respect as she figures out her own life throughout their relationship—like every Sagittarius, he understands the importance of personal independence.
Capricorn
Paris Geller
With a focus on her goals and, well, not much else, Paris Geller brings Capricorn energy everywhere she goes, whether it’s Yale or Stars Hollow. Her one-track mind is always focused on her own ambitions, much like most Capricorns, and she isn’t afraid to make sacrifices along the way. Paris pulls a total Capricorn move when she tries to break up with Doyle to keep her head clear about her options after graduation (luckily Doyle wasn’t having it–he’s likely a Cancer).
Aquarius
Lane Kim
Whether it’s hiding her rock n’ roll albums in the floorboards or continuing to play in a band against her mother’s wishes (and even after she has kids), Lane carves her own path from the beginning. Like Lane, Aquarians are known for going against the grain and living life on their own terms. They’re also able to branch out and expand their social circles easily—as we can see when Lane forms bonds with her bandmates, and even marries Zack, while still remaining close to her old friends. A consistent and great friend to everyone around her, Lane’s Aquarius energy is so comforting.
Pisces
Dean Forester
There will always be a divide between Team Jess and Team Dean, but what Dean lacks in mystery he makes up for in sensitivity and kindness. And despite the bad rap that Pisces men often get, they do have their positives. They can tap into a sense of universal consciousness, and Dean has the ability to (mostly) understand where others are coming from and take their feelings into consideration. However, the depth of his own feelings can cause him to get ahead of himself from time to time, like when he ends up scaring Rory off after buying her a car and confessing his love for her (although Rory’s Virgo energy did not help that situation, either).
