This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at UC Riverside chapter.

 

Aries

Aries’ are known to be pioneers, just like Daenerys, the Unburnt, Queen of the Andals and the First Men, Khaleesi of the Great Grass Sea, Breaker of Chains, and Mother of Dragons. Her adventurous Aries spirit led her to gather a massive following behind her, allowing her to lay claim on the Iron Throne. Her courage and confidence makes her an effective and likeable leader. People stand with an Aries because they know they will not fail them. However, like Daenerys, Aeries’ can be quick tempered and impulsive, leading them to make rash decisions and not always deal with their enemies in the most diplomatic manner.

 

Taurus

Tauruses are steadfast and reliable., Brienne is a knight who can be counted on by anyone she swears to protect. Sansa and Arya have never encountered harm and will never have to as long as Brienne is there to defend them. While she is an incredibly tough and fearless fighter, she also has a very tender heart filled with a lot of love for those she deems worthy of her protection. The protective nature of a Taurus can also make them very possessive and inflexible, as they never want anyone else to come in between them and their loved ones.

 

Gemini

Geminis, represented by the twins, are stereotypically known as two-faced., They are  a perfect caricature of Arya. After her extensive training with the faceless man, she is a master of versatility and adaptability. Quite literally being able to change her appearance and demeanor for any given situation, is a perfect metaphor for Geminis being able to create various and, appropriate personas for different aspects of their lives. Geminis’ wit and intellect also make them very likable to all different types of people, when coupled with their eloquence, this also makes it easy for them to navigate through social situations, or when they need to talk their way out of trouble. Their ability to adapt and charm can make a Gemini come off as superficial and cunning because they make it so difficult to tell whether or not their character is just an act.

 

Cancer

While Cancers are often known for their emotional and loving nature, Cersei Lannister embodies some of the lesser-known Cancer characteristics. Cancer’s shrewdness makes them powerful leaders and effective decision makers. They are extremely protective of their own, which is evident in Cersei’s relationship with her children in the earlier seasons of Game of Thrones. Their intuition also serves them well when they need to outsmart their opponents or form bonds with unlikely counterparts. However, emotion is an integral part of every Cancer and is seen in Cersei through her temper. Cancers can often fall into the trap of setting off big reactions for small dilemmas  because every issue that crosses their path is extremely important to them.

 

Leo

Faith and enthusiasm are two very important aspectsparts of both Melisandre and all Leos. As a priestess to the Lord of Light, Melisandre has complete faith in her beliefs, and executes all of her duties with enthusiasm. You cannot deter a Leo from their beliefs because they are committed to them  with everything they have. Melisandre often has creative ways to overcome her problems throughout the show, much like Leos, she is never stuck when faced with a difficult situation or decision. However, both Melisandre and Leos can be seen as intolerant and dogmatic. Because they have so much faith in what they believe, they have a very difficult time getting along with anyone who doesn’t feel the same way, because they see their beliefs as absolute truths.

 

Virgo

While Margaery appears modest and shy on the surface, she is truly intelligent and practical whose mind is always at work, much like a Virgo. Because of their modesty, Virgos are quite agreeable people, even though they possess the analytical skills to see through anybody’s outrageous proposals or thinly veiled facades. Furthermore, Virgos are extremely meticulous as every action is carefully thought through, and they are not ones to go about life without a detailed plan. On the flip side, Virgos are often times worriers and perfectionists, they don’t like anything deviating from their set plans.

 

Libra

Sansa is nothing short of the perfect Libra model. She is a natural diplomat, able to hold down Winterfell when all the men of her house are out doing foreign business, or are otherwise unfit to rule. She is a true romantic, often falling for suitors who don’t have her best interest at heart because like Libras, she is simply in love with being in love. She is idealistic, always trying to make the best of many situations she’s had with captors, and much like Libras she always thinks the very best of the world. However, this idealism can quickly lead to a gullible nature, as Libras oftentimes find the world is not as good as they thought it was, and people lie and connive to get what they want.

 

Scorpio

There is no character more like a Scorpio than Yara Greyjoy. She is forceful in everything that she does and sees no reason to apologize for it. She is the first woman to ever rule over the Iron Islands and squashes toxic behaviors that her people had practiced for generations with the sheer power of her demeanor and the influence it has over her followers. She is a passionate and magnetic leader, able to rally an entire people behind her and make alliances with families who were once enemies to her elders. All of this fire and force inside a Scorpio can also make them extremely compulsive. If they want something and they have to have it right then and there, they will get it even if it means achieving it through unethical or immoral ways.

 

Sagittarius

Nobody loves freedom more than the free folk, as evident by their name, and specifically Ygritte. Independence is a cornerstone characteristic of a Sagittarius, they would rather be alone than tied down to a person or group that doesn’t allow them to spread their wings. Both Sagittarius’ and Ygritte are incredibly straight forward. Neither are afraid to share their honest, or even sometimes blunt, opinions if they truly feel they are helpful. However, their independence is often seen as restlessness. It seems to be impossible to get a Sagittarius to remain in one place, or even to get them to sit still and relax.

 

Capricorn

Much like a Capricorn, Missandei’s work as a translator has made her an incredibly disciplined and patient person. Capricorns are not fond of giving anything less than 100% in whatever they do, and they alway ensure that they are doing it correctly. When it comes to working with others, they are some of the most patient peers around. Their discipline also ties into them being prudent, they care deeply about their futures and are always thinking several steps ahead of those around them. Despite their prudence, Capricorns have a tendency to believe that the future is what it is and there is nothing they can do to change it, making them come off as somewhat pessimistic people.

 

Aquarius

No matter how young an Aquarius is, they are always loyal to those they care about and are fiercely independent. Despite her young age, Lyanna is the leader of her house, and she has remained loyal to the Starks through all of their changes in leadership and through the impending doom of winter. She demands on being allowed to sit at the table with all the other men and to not be advised or aided anymore than an adult leader would be. Because she came into such high pressure leadership at such a young age, like an Aquarius, Lyanna can come off as unemotional or detached, because it is the only way she has learned to survive and navigate the perils of adulthood as a child.

 

Pisces

Because Gilly lived as a wildling for so long, when she was exposed to the outside world, like a Pisces, she was filled with great imagination. She is fascinated by all the wonders of the “modern” world. Due to her unique background, Gilly often seems unworldly, which gives her a special kind of edge when dealing with the problems of this new world. When she meets Sam, viewers can see a new sensitive and compassionate side to her, which is present in nearly every Pisces. A Pisces’ vivid imagination can cause them to become escapists, constantly wiggling out of commitments and creating new realities when their actual one doesn’t suit their likins.
