With all of the hype around the ACOTAR series after the book six release, it’s only fitting for me to bring the discussion to two of my favorite things: astrology and the Archeron sisters: Nesta, Elain, and Feyre. Each sister is distinct in the way they present themselves to the universe, and it’s really cool to think about which sisters have which zodiac signs and astrological placements. Obviously, we don’t know all of the characters’ zodiac signs and I wish we did, but it’s still fun to guess!
Although many people think that the book series may be a bit basic, I can tell you that it’s not. Each sister’s story has been interesting, and I’ve loved seeing how author Sarah J. Maas has developed her characters over the years. Right now, the series is beginning to wrap up with the release of book six this past October, book seven coming in January, and book eight at a later date (hopefully within the next year).
If you’ve been wondering about how your own sign compares to the Archeron sisters, here’s your ultimate guide. Below, find out which Archeron sister you are based on your own holy trinity (sun, moon, and rising signs). Astrology is not an exact science, so it’s up to you if you’d like to take these guesses seriously, or just use this as a fun way to relate to the ACOTAR book series. Here are my placements for each Archeron sister in the 12 signs of the zodiac.
Aries: Nesta
Nesta is stubborn and fiery, and if I had to guess what her sun sign was, I’d say Aries. The Mars-ruled sign is temperamental and tough, just like Nesta in A Court of Silver Flames. She and Cassian both possess that fiery energy that makes her perfect to be the bearer of silver fire.
Taurus: Elain
Elain is often described as docile and doe-like in the books, and that makes Taurus a perfect match for her. One of her favorite things is gardening, and the Venus-ruled planet is also an earth sign, making it a natural match for our seer.
Gemini: Feyre
In the ACOTAR series, we’re able to see Feyre from multiple perspectives, and just like a Gemini, she has a bit of a two-faced nature. We meet Feyre as a tough mortal who has lost a bit of her heart, but in recent books, she’s grown into a strong woman and a mother.
Cancer: Feyre
Feyre is a deeply emotional character, and her main character energy is perfect for a Cancer. Cancers may be a water sign, but they are different from a dreamy Pisces, who feels things deeply and can become lost in their feelings. Take famous Cancer music artists like Tate McRae and Ariana Grande, for example: both use their powerful life experiences and stories to influence their songwriting. While Feyre may not be a singer, she definitely has the Cancer aesthetic.Â
Leo: Elain
I will admit that giving Elain a fire sign is bold: from what we know of her at the moment, she is very timid and traumatized. She is healing very slowly from everything that happened to her in A Court of Wings and Ruin, and we still don’t know much about her beyond Feyre and Nesta’s perceptions of her. Elain has had a few moments so far, particularly killing the King of Hybern, that seem to foreshadow that she’ll be important in future conflicts. My prediction is that she, like a Leo, will make herself known when the time is right and surprise everyone with her powers.
Virgo: Feyre
Feyre is deeply analytical, and she processes things thoughtfully, just like a Virgo would. Take how she defeated the Middengard Wyrm in book one — it took a lot of careful planning merged with on-the-fly thinking. We see Feyre’s thought pattern pretty consistently through all of the books, and it’s pretty easy for any astrology geek to see the similarities between her and a Virgo.
Libra: Elain
If you thought otherwise, I hate to break it to you, but you thought wrong. Libras are deeply aesthetic as a Venus sign, and based on the way that everyone describes Elain, Libra fits her description to a T. Generally considered the most attractive of the signs because of the Aphrodite influence, Libras are airy, social, and elegant. Elain even acknowledges in A Court of Splintered Harmony to Mor that because the two of them are “quite attractive,” people are more likely to grant favors to them. That is 100% something a Libra would say.
Scorpio: Nesta
If Nesta were a water sign, she’d be Scorpio. Zero doubt in my mind. “Lady Death”? Come on. Scorpios can be menacing in ways different than a sign like Aries, due to their watery nature and overall darker demeanor.Â
Sagittaurius: Feyre
Feyre is the only Archeron sister whose birthday is canon, and her star sign is actually Sagittarius! It makes sense, considering she is extremely good at archery (Sag is the archer!) and has a very fiery personality, in ways different from Nesta. Born on the Winter Solstice, the longest night of the year, Feyre’s birthday is special — not only because it’s close to Christmas, but it also serves as a hint early on in the books that she was meant to end up with Rhysand all along.
Capricorn: Nesta
Nesta is hard-working and driven, as seen by her becoming a Valkyrie with Gwyn and Emerie. Her work roots her back in the real world while she deals with the complications of holding the Cauldron’s power. Like a Capricorn, her work grounds her and fuels her motive to protect her friends and family.
Aquarius: Nesta
Nesta as an Aquarius just makes sense. She’ll cut you off with little to no remorse if you hurt her, and even if it doesn’t look like she thinks things through, she definitely does. Though Nesta being an air sign would not be my first guess for her, if I had to choose one of the three air signs, Aquarius would definitely be it.
Pisces: Elain
If I had to guess what Elain’s sun sign would be, I would have to say Pisces. As a seer, Elain can get lost in time and in visions and in predictions. “I think I was dreaming. I’m always dreaming these days,” she says to Azriel, Feyre, and Rhysand in Wings and Ruin. Pisces is a very dreamy and fluid sign, perfect for Elain.Â
