Stranger Things is nearly back on our screens for one final time. Over the years it’s given us monsters, mayhem, and more supernatural teenage angst than anyone asked for – but it’s also blessed us with characters who fit their star signs a little too well.
From fiery leaders to sensitive softies to chaotic demon people with a death wish, every sign has a perfect match. So if you’ve ever wondered which resident of Hawkins crew embodies your cosmic energy, read on. Just don’t blame me if your zodiac twin turns out to be… well, a little cursed.
Aries: Vecna
March 21 – April 19
Sorry, Aries – somebody had to take the villain role, and honestly? Your “kick down the door first, ask questions never” energy was a dead giveaway. Fiery, intense, dramatic entrance guaranteed. Classic Vecna behaviour.
Taurus: Lucas Sinclair
April 20 – May 20
If loyalty were a sport, Taurus, Lucas would already have a trophy shelf for it. Remember him screaming for Erica while clutching Max in the finale? That’s peak Taurus: stubbornly loving to a tee, and ready to fight anyone who threatens their people… even if those people insist they’re fine.
Gemini: Nancy Wheeler
May 21 – June 20
Nancy is basically the Gemini starter pack. Smart, observant, refuses to sit around waiting to be saved. And of course – sign of the twins – she’s juggling two very different romantic options like it’s a full-time job. Duality! We love to see it.
Cancer: Mike Wheeler
June 21 – July 22
Oh sweet Mike. He all but ushered a strange bald alien girl into his blanket fort with fresh folded pyjamas and zero hesitation – tell me that’s not peak Cancer energy. Sweet, emotional, imaginative, but oh boy… does he know how to take everything personally. It’s almost charming. Almost.
Leo: Max Mayfield
July 23 – August 22
Fiery hair, fierier attitude. Max is the Leo who skates into a room and immediately becomes the main character, no questions asked. Bold, brave, allergic to nonsense. Sure, her world revolves around her – but she’ll fiercely protect anyone lucky enough to be let in.
Virgo: Dustin Henderson
August 23 – September 22
Only a Virgo would build a ham radio that accidentally taps into secret Russian chatter AND still have time to belt out The NeverEnding Story in perfect pitch. Efficient, clever, organised chaos… mostly organised, though. Dustin’s the friend with a laminated plan A through Z.
Libra: Steve Harrington
September 23 – October 22
Who besides a Libra spends that much effort maintaining hair so perfectly coiffed? Steve is the charming peacemaker/babysitter who somehow ends up in monster fights anyway. Balanced, diplomatic, and always contradicting himself: classic Libran traits.
Scorpio: Eddie Munson
October 23 – November 21
Vale Eddie (we already miss you Joseph Quinn). Born to be a Scorpio icon – intense, magnetic, musical, and absolutely ready to argue about what counts as “real” music. Mysterious? Check. Stubborn? Double check. Passionate enough to go down literally shredding? Scorpio behaviour to its core.
Sagittarius: Erica Sinclair
November 22 – December 21
“You can’t spell America without Erica” is exactly the kind of slogan only a Saggitarian would concoct. She’s adventurous, too smart for her own good, unfiltered, and always prepared with an incredible one-liner to drop.
Capricorn: Hopper
December 22 – January 19
Let’s overlook Harbour’s off-screen philandering for just a second – Hopper is pure Capricorn. Grounded, determined, and always ready to fix everything with equal parts grit and grumbling. Capricorns are exactly the kind of person you want leading your apocalypse team – all discipline and ambition – but we’ve definitely seen Hopper exhibit some of their lesser qualities with Elle too: reserved, stubborn, pessimistic.
Aquarius: Eleven
January 20 – February 18
She literally moves things with her mind. If that’s not top-tier Aquarian weird-genius energy, what is? Detached, thoughtful, intuitive, and marching to the beat of her own drum in ever way. Eleven is the final evolution of the Water Bearer.
Pisces: Will Byers
February 19 – March 20
Pisces is famous for living in their own world, but Will took it to another level – straight into the Upside Down. Sensitive, artistic, dreamy, occasionally kidnapped by supernatural horrors… yeah, that tracks.
