Which ‘Stranger Things’ Character Are You, Based On Your Zodiac Sign?
Time to find out who your spiritual twin in Hawkins might be.
It’s hard to believe it’s been almost 10 years since we first met our beloved crew of misfits in Hawkins, Indiana. In the decade since Stranger Things took over Netflix (and about 75% of Halloween costume ideas) we’ve watched its core characters endure every kind of diabolical, near-apocalyptic scenario imaginable (I still get Vecna-related nightmares) and grow up along the way. As we (finally) gear up for the show’s fifth and final season, the time has come to watch the Stranger Things gang weather one last storm.
But before we bid them farewell, why not do a little character analysis? Throughout the show’s run, you’ve probably found yourself relating to one particular character more than the others. What if there’s an astrological reason for that? Everyone on the show, from Eleven to Nancy to Hopper, embodies key traits from the 12 zodiac signs. And we decided it’s time to officially assign each character their own.
Before you whip out your calendar and try to piece together when each character’s canon birth date is, please remember this analysis is informed by their energy and personality traits, not any passing birthday mentions in past seasons. So to prepare for the final season, go ahead and find out who your Stranger Things astrological twin is. You might even catch yourself rooting for them a bit more during your next watch.
Aries: Joyce Byers
She’s fierce, protective, and basically impossible to intimidate. Whenever Joyce sets her mind on a mission, there’s no way to distract her. The first sign of the zodiac is driven and independent—just like Mrs. Byers.
Taurus: Max Mayfield
Max is resilient, reliable, and strong, aka this show’s resident Taurus. Taureans may be extremely guarded, but once they decide you’re worth their time, they’re loyal, courageous friends.
Gemini: Lucas Sinclair
Like most Geminis, Lucas is friendly and clever, but he’s also got a discerning, judgmental streak that represents Gemini’s dual-sided spirit. Someone in the group has to keep their guard up and vet people properly, and it’s usually Lucas.
Cancer: Nancy Wheeler
This sign is nurturing and intuitive, but Cancers’ softness is often mistaken for weakness. Nancy has a sweet demeanor but a tough inner spirit, and most Cancers can relate.
Leo: Steve Harrington
He is confident and courageous, and like many Leos, he has a great head of hair. Steve might get a little cocky at times, but it’s a trait you learn to love. He also has strong leadership skills, a key Leo quality.
Virgo: Mike Wheeler
No shade, but Virgos are the zodiac’s true intellectuals. Mike is strategic, loyal, and quick-thinking, so surely this sign can relate to him the most. He’s a quiet but focused weapon.
Libra: Dustin Henderson
Everybody loves a Libra—they’re jolly, optimistic people pleasers. But beyond that, Libras are incredibly creative problem solvers and know how to maintain a diverse, robust network. That’s probably why Dustin has such a wide-ranging group of BFFs.
Scorpio: Jonathan Byers
Although introverted and unassuming, Jonathan is as loyal as they come. Like other Scorpios, he can be mysterious and hard to read, but he’ll also go to the ends of the earth for the people he loves. That’s a truly determined Scorpio if we’ve ever seen one.
Sagittarius: Robin Buckley
Sagittarians are brave, blunt, and a bit impulsive—all traits Robin absolutely embodies. She’s quick on her feet and always ready with a comeback, and her fiery demeanor always motivates and mobilizes her friends.
Capricorn: Jim Hopper
He may come off as cold and cynical, but those closest to him know Hopper’s a softie. Like any Cap, he’s a heroic, natural-born leader, but he’s not looking to be praised for it. He holds himself to a high moral standard and usually meets it.
Aquarius: Eleven
She was never meant to fit in with the crowd, which is why Eleven’s spirit and overall journey feel Aquarian through and through. She’s truly an original, and her quirks (or in this case, supernatural powers) are her greatest strength.
Pisces: Will Byers
Will is the most sensitive and vulnerable of all his friends. While trauma obviously plays a part there, he has a soft, creative energy that represents Piscean traits quite accurately. Pisceans may be emotional, but that just further fuels their kindness.
