This Is Which Gilmore Girls Character You Are, Based On Your Zodiac Sign
It’s officially Gilmore Girls season—and what better way to celebrate than by taking an astrological stroll through Stars Hollow?
Each Gilmore Girls episode is full of lively, colorful characters who certainly make an impression—and if you’re paying close enough attention, the stars may be able to shine some perspective on those traits. The show doesn’t shy away from astrology (while Luke certainly thinks it’s ridiculous, he did hold onto that Scorpio horoscope!), so it only makes sense we take a look at their zodiac signs!
Take a look at your Sun sign below to see which Gilmore Girls character you are (check the honorary placements for some insight into some Moon and Rising signs as well)!
Aries: Richard Gilmore
Richard Gilmore has the determined cardinal energy that drives him to success—but that doesn’t mean he takes himself too seriously. Like the patriarch of the Gilmore household, you are stubborn and a little tunnel-visioned at times. His temper can unexpectedly show up, but he’s fiercely protective and tries to do what he believes is best (even if it’s close-minded). While he likely has some Earth sign placements to ground him, the Aries proclivity to take charge and forge full steam ahead is hard to miss.
Honorary placements: Capricorn Rising, Taurus Moon
Taurus: Lorelei Gilmore
Lorelei is certainly talkative and a little out of the box at times (I wouldn’t be surprised if she had a Mercury in Gemini!). She’s a classic Taurus, and it shows. Taurus signs are known for their stubbornness and dedication. While she does what she must to provide for her and Rory, she’s adamantly known to work smarter, not harder. She holds tight to the belief that her way is the best way. The desire to stay in Stars Hollow, a town where she’s created a comfortable life, is perfectly in line with the Taurus desire to stick to what they know.
Honorary placements: Sagittarius Moon, Aquarius Rising
Gemini: Lane Kim
Sure, the whole “living a double life” concept already brings to mind Gemini for Lane Kim, yet there is more beyond her desire to experience the world. She’s open to different hobbies, ideas, and beliefs, and she doesn’t take well to being forced inside a rigid box. She’s talkative and expressive, able to adapt to anything life throws her way, and seems to know every detail of rock and roll history—all very Gemini-coded. Like Lane, you don’t like to be told there is only one correct way to do things, especially since you’re always considering a world of possibilities.
Honorary Placements: Aquarius Moon, Pisces Rising
Cancer: Sookie St. James
Sookie St. James is a soft-hearted friend who will stand by her loved ones through thick and thin. Though at times she may come across as sensitive or emotional, her big heart is evident throughout the series. She isn’t big on releasing control or altering her comfort zone in the kitchen, yet she won’t hesitate to drop everything and show up for Lorelei, or any of her loved ones. Similar to Sookie, you have a nurturing quality and a desire to take care of those around you.
Honorary Placements: Leo Moon, Cancer Rising
Leo: Ms. Patty
Ms. Patty is hard to miss. She lives life loud and proud without any hesitation. Sure, her performance elements are a dead ringer for Leo energy, but even in her daily life, Ms. Patty isn’t afraid to go after what (or who) she wants. Like her, you liven up any room you walk into and have an unwavering amount of confidence.
Honorary Placements: Sagittarius Moon, Leo Rising
Virgo: Emily Gilmore
The Gilmore matriarch is known for impeccable organization and a fairly controlling nature, but her Virgo energy goes beyond the stereotypes. Emily is determined for her plans to follow through without a hitch, yet she’s quick on her feet to change course if things aren’t going her way. Neither of you is afraid to voice your opinions and you tend to view things in terms of what is most “sensible.”
Honorary Placements: Scorpio Moon, Libra Rising
Libra: Rory Gilmore
Rory Gilmore is the only Stars Hollow member who we have a confirmed birth chart for—and it’s no shock that she is a Libra Sun. Rory is studious and focused in presentation (thank her Virgo Rising), but her desire to serve as a mediator when most conflicts arise is spot on for Libra. Despite being more introverted, she’s seen as likable and can make friends easily without too much effort. You both have a desire to keep things balanced and fair, and you won’t make a decision until you’ve considered all the sides (you know you’ve made your fair share of pros and cons lists). When you fall for someone, you fall hard, and sometimes you can be blinded by your feelings if you aren’t careful—very on brand for Libra energy.
Honorary placements (confirmed): Pisces Moon, Virgo Rising
Scorpio: Luke Danes
Luke Danes is a Scorpio through and through. His brooding, reserved demeanor towards most people and his determination to keep his life and decisions private are unmistakable traits of the intense water sign. However, he’s also extremely loyal and will go to great lengths to take care of those he loves, like Lorelei and Rory. (Plus, let’s be honest—the whole finding out about his daughter and hiding it for months feels very on-brand for an overwhelmed Scorpio).
Honorary placements: Taurus Moon, Scorpio Rising
Sagittarus: Jess Mariano
While Jess may not initially strike your mind as a typical Sagittarius, the energy is still there. He does have a brooding nature similar to his Uncle Luke, but his determination to live life on his terms without restrictions is very Sagittarius. He’s intellectual, has a playful wit, and often feels stifled by the expectations others place on him—something you can relate to. As he matures, he doesn’t lose his creative streak.
Honorary placements: Scorpio Moon, Libra Rising
Capricorn: Paris Gellar
As someone who has a laser-focus to succeed and a desire to become the best at whatever goal her mind is set on, Gellar’s enduring determination is Capricorn-defined. She can come across as reserved and cold to others but can be quite the softie, letting loose a little when she’s comfortable. You can relate to working tirelessly and accepting nothing less than the best.
Honorary placements: Aries Moon, Scorpio Rising
Aquarius: Logan Huntzberger
Our favorite Life and Death Brigade leader has quite an unconventional streak. His rebellion against his family norms and the usual expectations of those in his shoes are quintessential air sign vibes. He can come across as detached or untethered, but his charm and banter draw just about anyone in. He can’t help but play devil’s advocate just to see what will happen. Like Logan, you are at your best when you form a friendship first before dating, and you aren’t afraid to push boundaries or defy expectations, no matter what others think.
Honorary placements: Gemini Moon, Leo Rising
Pisces: Dean Forester
The quintessential boy next door and Rory’s high school sweetheart, Dean is the full embodiment of a Pisces man. At his best, he’s a kind boyfriend with a bit of a romantic streak—but he also has a tendency to let his emotions overtake him. He often tries to build his life around his current partner. And, his fixation on Rory, his “first love,” screams Pisces. Like Dean, you do care deeply for those around you, but you also have a tendency to get caught up in nostalgia and “grass is always greener” syndrome.
