Pandemic fatigue is something that we’ve all been dealing with for a tiny bit too long. With school and work all from home, it’s hard to find a way to relax and let loose in your own space. But don’t worry, Her Campus has got you covered! In a time of uncertainty, I’ve made a list of TV shows curated to your Zodiac sign that will certainly help you chill after a long week of Zoom classes and PDF textbooks! Let’s get started!
P.S. Don’t like the show for your Zodiac sign? Try using your Rising sign for a new suggestion!
Aries:
The first of the Zodiac signs is Aries! Aries definitely enjoy being number one! With a determined and passionate approach to your life and work, you need a TV show that displays your intensity and ambition! So, I present to you Dynasty! With Elizabeth Gillies (even better if you’re a former Victorious fan!) playing the irresistible and fierce Fallon Carrington, you’ll feel understood and enlightened by Fallon’s need to come out on top and prove herself to the world! But don’t worry, this show is not long or complicated so it’s a perfect way to kickback and give your hardworking brain a break!
Taurus:
As a lover of nature and someone who seeks comfort from life, you need something that makes you feel satisfied and relaxed at the end of a long day. It’s hard to find serenity in a world surrounded by screens so The World’s Most Extraordinary Homes is absolutely perfect for you! It’s a reality TV show to keep you grounded and presents the most beautiful and creative homes all over the world! This show is a perfect way to remind yourself that creativity still exists and that your home can truly be a sanctuary. Besides, maybe this show will inspire you to spice up your own place!
Gemini:
As someone that lights up the room and is quite literally the life of the party, you’ll need something energizing and fresh… just like you! I’m recommending Girlfriends for when you need a second away from being everyone’s friend! Girlfriends is a fun, quirky sitcom about four friends navigating life, with a focus on love, friendship and family. There’s never a dull moment, so you’ll connect deeply to the supportive bonds and hilarious moments of this show!
Cancer:
As a deeply emotional individual, it’s important to find a show that is as deep as you are. You enjoy hidden meanings and small details that lead up to a beautiful ending. As it so happens, The Haunting of Hill House is perfect for you! As a show that’s riddled with symbols, poetry and emotion, The Haunting of Hill House is so beautiful! Don’t let the title scare you away though. It’s about a haunting, but it’s also so much more. You can use that deep emotional intelligence to piece together the true meaning of the show!
Leo:
Leos, where do I even begin? You take the phrase ‘King (or Queen) of the Jungle’ seriously and everyone loves you for it! Prideful and a lover of all things luxury, you deserve to watch a show that makes you feel expensive and lavish. Luckily, Elite was made for you! Combined with beautiful aesthetics and an expansive back story for each character, watching Elite is a great way to remember your own worth and value. It follows the lives of three new middle-class high school students among their wealthy peers and entangles them in murder, drugs and more than you could imagine!
Virgo:
Virgos, you stick out to me because of your strive for excellence. Your perfectionism and logic can sometimes go unnoticed, but why should it? You have a need to improve anything and everything and for that, you need a character that makes you feel heard—perhaps someone you can relate to. When I say that Breaking Bad is one of the most Virgo-dominated shows I’ve seen, I’m definitely not lying! One of my favorite shows ever, Breaking Bad highlights the need to be perfect and accurate no matter what you’re doing. A high school teacher who goes by unnoticed his whole life finally has gained the courage to curate and run a drug business. However, this is just a very, very light summary. As a relatable protagonist (or antihero!), you’ll feel seen and understood when it comes to Breaking Bad!
Libra:
As someone who can mediate any conversation and is definitely the most charismatic in the room, it’s tiring being everyone’s favourite. You need a show to display your sense of extravagance and your love for aesthetics. The show that represents you is Downton Abbey. This show doesn’t skip out on the grandeur. Taking place in the early 1900s, Downton Abbey follows a rich family living in a huge estate. You’ll love the beautiful scenes, the creative fashion and most importantly the banter between the characters. Though this show is set during the WWI era, it doesn’t fail to bring modern issues to light. Downton Abbey will easily match your idealism and diplomacy! Plus, it’s multiple seasons long, so you don’t have to worry about picking another show for a while!
Scorpio:
No one is as intense as a Scorpio! Your careful and well-thought-out way of living life always sets you up for success. You enjoy being in control—no, not in a bad way, but in a way that lets you take power over your successes and failures. Basically, you hold yourself accountable for everything! So, give The Queen’s Gambit a watch and you might find yourself wanting more! A dark and intense show, The Queen’s Gambit follows young Beth Harmon, an orphaned chess player, navigating her way through life without parental guidance. This show proves how you have to pave your own way for yourself. It was difficult for our main character but because of her resilience and commitment, she was successful. Only The Queen’s Gambit can match a Scorpio’s intensity and quiet idealism!
Sagittarius:
Sagittariuses are truly one of a kind: fun, creative and definitely made for the jet-set life. It’s hard to picture you standing still and opting for a quiet lifestyle. You need a show that reflects your passion and zest for life since some shows can be a bit too mellow for you. Sex and the City was made with you in mind! This show is your ideal life as it shows three friends navigating the New York City dating scene! The show has style, banter and an upbeat nature; there’s never a dull moment because there’s a constant flow of adventure! Once you watch Sex and the City, you’ll wish it never ends!
Capricorn:
Known for your resilience and persistence when it comes to your work, career and even people, it’s difficult to find a show to match your stoic personality. Luckily, we’ve got you covered! Money Heist is the perfect TV show! Money Heist might seem like a simple show, after all, it is about a bank robbery. But it’s also so much more. Starting with the individual, moving on to the intricate backstories of the characters and ending with a deep need to persist through trouble and conflict, Money Heist is a perfect way to see how far your resilience can take you!
Aquarius:
As the second last Zodiac sign, you make your presence known! Your idealistic attitude and ability to be your most authentic self makes you the unique Aquarius you are and you’re loved for it! New Girl speaks to you the most! An upbeat and happy show, New Girl shows the benefits of being yourself, no matter what anyone thinks! The main character, Jess Day, sets a fun, positive atmosphere for the show. You’ll find her and the other characters absurdly fascinating and hopefully they’ll keep you entertained for a long time coming!
Pisces:
The last of all 12 of the Zodiac signs and arguably the kindest, is Pisces! As a dreamer and someone who constantly sees the best in other people, you’d like to make an impact on the world and change it for the better. Thankfully, Parks and Recreation is your show! Leslie Knope is a government employee who chooses to improve the people around her and guides them to live up to their full potential! Her idealism and determination make her a funny, cute and kind main character! If you need a show to make you laugh and convince you that there’s still good in the world, Parks and Recreation is for you!
I hope this guide serves you well and you can find your next favourite TV show! Remember to stay safe and golden!
