When fantasy becomes reality.
By Ruby Miranda — Written on Jul 12, 2019
We all relate to a certain fictional character; it's just a human thing to do. We like envisioning ourselves as heroes, villains, saviors, sufferers. We walk out of the movies feeling much like the characters we've just seen, and sometimes we even prefer the fictional life to our very own reality.
And when we add astrology to the mix, there are certain movie characters our zodiac signs associate with. That could mean they experience the same struggles, had the same upbringing, or maybe they're just completely badass and we idolize them.
Alfred Hitchcock once said that fiction is real life without the boring parts, and, in a way, that's true, which is one of the reasons we're so attracted to these characters. There's a reason we rarely see characters in a movie trimming their nose hairs or doing their taxes — that's the boring stuff!
We like to think we're either the brilliant scientist-philosopher who saves the planet, or the super villain anti-hero who takes down the government. That's the stuff we want, so keep your nose hair trimming to yourself.
Nowadays, we can indulge in cosplay, which is dressing up like the fictional characters we adore. We can even flaunt our fantasy character representations at conventions made just for this kind of thing. We love to dress up, and, the truth is, we love getting out of our own reality and into someone else's non-reality.
And, according to our zodiac signs, we make up for some very individual characters. What fictional movie character are you, according to your zodiac sign?
ARIES (March 21 - April 19)
Basically, you're Deadpool. You love to dress in red, you're a total clown, but you're also a serious badass who can charm your way through any situation. You've got a great sense of humor and you always get the romantic interest.
TAURUS (April 20 - May 20)
You're Rocky Balboa. Though tenacious, you don't give up and you certainly don't back down. You're a rough and tumble kind of person, and nothing stops you when you put your mind to something. You're a fighter, a total knock out every time.
GEMINI (May 21 - June 20)
You are "the nazi bad guy." Yep, there's always one in adventure movies, and you're it. Why? Because you are quiet, conniving, and always up to something evil. You instill as much trust in people as does your average everyday nazi scum.
CANCER (June 21 - July 22)
You're Gabriel in Constantine, as played by Tilda Swinton. You like things working according to plan, and you need total control. You're attracted to friendships with demonic types, though you don't like admitting it. You think you're above it all, but we all know you as insane.
LEO (July 23 - August 22)
You are the Wizard, in The Wizard of Oz. You like to make a grand entrance and you don't mind if everyone knows you as "the Great and Terrible." That's kind of your thing. And like the Wizard, you're a con artist who can sell snake oil to a snake.
VIRGO (August 23 - September 22)
You're Miranda Priestly, from The Devil Wears Prada. Nothing is good enough for you, and if it were to be, it would be supreme in all ways. You are supreme in all ways, and we have to learn to respect that.
LIBRA (September 23 - October 22)
You are Rosemary, in Rosemary's Baby. A complete victim who can never understand what happened to them. You are nice to everyone, and everyone sees that as stupidity. You can't win, so you might as well just go and have a devil baby and be done with it.
SCORPIO (October 23 - November 21)
You are Frank N. Furter in The Rocky Horror Picture Show. You love to mess with people's minds, and you love to wear the sleaziest fetish outfits while doing so. You accessorize for your wicked moods, and we love you for it.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 - December 21)
You are Morpheus, from The Matrix. You've been through it all and now you're the one everyone turns to for wisdom and knowledge. You always choose the red pill, and you're always thinking of the big picture. Optimism in the face of danger.
CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 19)
You are Indiana Jones. Totally dedicated, slightly distracted, and ruthless when it comes to getting what you want or what will make you money. You bring a gun to a gun fight, not a knife.
AQUARIUS (January 20 - February 18)
You are the Batman. Yes, that's right. You're treacherous, misunderstood, and you live a secret life. You dream of vengeance and justice, and, on occasion, you go out and get it. If only there could be a proper Alfred to suit you up.
PISCES (February 19 - March 10)
You are Robert Langdon, from The Da Vinci Code. You are excessively focused on secrets, deep meanings and mysteries. You relate to codes and silence, and you'd do anything to get your hands on the Holy Grail.
