Bridgerton’s Lady Whistledown spends her days speculating about romance within the upper crust of Regency England. But for all her gossip about new couples like Simon Bassett (Rege-Jean Page) and Daphne Bridgerton (Phoebe Dynevor), Lady Whistledown hardly mentions astrological relationship compatibility. Luckily, Simon and Daphne—whom I’ve deemed a brooding Scorpio and an empathetic Pisces—are a match made in astrology heaven.

Based on romance novels by Julia Quinn, Bridgerton is an ensemble show with multiple siblings (and storylines) to follow at any given moment. And if you're watching, chances are you already relate to one of the eight Bridgerton kids, or any of the series' other characters. (Personally, I think Lady Danbury, played by Adjoa Andoh, merits her own spinoff.)

Though Bridgerton doesn’t feature any drawn out natal chart readings, many of the show’s characters—from serene yet strong mothers to jovial younger brothers—strongly align with a sun sign. So I couldn't help but match up 12 of the main characters with the Zodiac sign that suits them best. If you want to know which Bridgerton character has your sun sign—or whether you're compatible with your favorite Bridgerton rake—find out below.


Aries

Portia Featherington

Aries are known for their competitive nature, which Portia Featherington possesses. She wants her children to have the absolute best life possible, even if it means acting out against those who stand in her way and choosing ruthless behaviors to achieve her goals. Aries often use similar tactics to ensure their dreams become a reality and to win at any costs, as they are obsessed with being number one—no matter whom they hurt in the process.

Taurus

Anthony Bridgerton

Much like Anthony Bridgerton, Tauruses enjoy hedonism and aren’t ashamed to fully embrace a joie de vivre lifestyle. Not only that, but both are total charmers and Casanovas who can make anyone swoon or get weak in the knees. This is why the Bull will absolutely enjoy watching Anthony Bridgerton flirt his way through the first season of this TV show. In fact, Taurus might start taking some romantic pointers from him as a result.

Gemini

Lady Whistledown

Geminis live for gossip and scandal, especially if they’re the ones spilling all the tea. As the narrator of the show and gossip writer du jour, Lady Whistledown shares all the secrets and clandestine details about society. The whistleblower character is voiced by Julie Andrews, reminding us all that drama is best served with a spoonful of sugar to help it go down smoothly—a sentiment relatable to Gemini.

Cancer

Violet Bridgerton

Violet Bridgerton and the zodiac sign Cancer do not let anyone mess with their family. They are super protective of those that they love—so much so that they will go to any lengths possible to ensure that they'll move towards relationships for the right reasons instead of the wrong ones. Plus, as eternal nurturers, they both want what’s best for their brood, which means urging others to find happiness and love wherever and whenever possible.

Leo

Queen Charlotte

Queen Charlotte lives for drama, and so does her palace—which is exactly the kind of place Leos always seem to find themselves in, whether it’s intentional or not. But she doesn’t like to be the talk of the town in a shady manner, as she demands respect—a sentiment that all regal lions can absolutely comprehend. Both would prefer to get fame and acclaim from the press with a side of some love.

Virgo

Penelope Featherington

Virgos don’t like to be at the center of attention, as they prefer to be onlookers in all matters. This means they can take on the trait of being a wallflower, which has its perks. Penelope Featherington uses her analytical mind, like any Virgo would, to suss out and understand her family as well as the world around her. She doesn’t jump into the spotlight, but she observes matters to gain clarity. Typical Virgo.

Libra

Marina Thompson

When talking about love, never underestimate a Libra—or the character Marina from Netflix's Bridgerton. Both will go to intense lengths and work hard 24/7 to procure their passions and success in their endeavors. Marina really wants to find a husband to suppress the gossip that will come when people find out she’s an unwed mom-to-be. If that means keeping her eyes on the prize to avoid scandal, then so be it—though she still believes in true love, like any Libra would.

Scorpio

Simon Bassett

Any Scorpio can relate to the smoldering hot, brooding, and sensual Simon Bassett, who has organized his life around a vengeance plan. Scorpios will find camaraderie in Simon Basset’s determination to win at all costs. Like Simon, Scorpios are passionate and emotional. They want fairness for the wrongdoings that have affected their lives, and they want to fight for their version of what’s right; after all, they’re the claws of justice.

Sagittarius

Colin Bridgerton

Colin Bridgerton and the zodiac sign Sagittarius are daring by nature. They often find themselves in situations that are adventurous and fun. Humor, chivalry, and positivity are words to describe Colin’s personality to the core. This makes him identify as the jovial archer who’s always looking for a good time. Both fall in love with people who oppose their innate beliefs, as they like to be challenged at all times by those they partner with.

Capricorn

Lady Danbury

She may be tough as nails on the outside, but she has a heart of gold deep down, like a true Capricorn. Lady Danbury protected Simon from his abusive father when he was a young boy and has stood by him in the years following his dad’s death. Her straightforwardness and blunt demeanor make her a force to be reckoned with both then, and now.

Aquarius

Eloise Bridgerton

Known to rebel against the norms of the world, Aquarians don’t adhere to the status quo. Like the sign of the waterbearer, Eloise Bridgerton walks to the beat of her own drum and doesn’t believe in satisfying societal issues conventions to fit in. She relies on her whip-smart intellect to motivate her to achieve greatness, even if it is not what her family has in mind. Sound familiar, Aquarius? Eloise is very similar to you.

Pisces

Daphne Bridgerton

We’re not saying that all Pisces are as naive and trusting as Daphne Bridgerton appears to be during the first few episodes of Bridgerton. But due to their innate nurturing and loving vibes, they do like to see the best in others—even if they have no real information to base their opinions on. Pisces also believe in fairy tale endings, which Daphne Bridgerton desires in the beginning of the show—until she becomes wiser.
