Whether you’re a serene Taurus, a passionate Leo, or an empathetic Pisces, everyone has a zodiac sign. In fact, even some iconic comic book characters have a specific star sign based on their fictional birthdays.
Thanks to the DC Universe Calendar, The Mighty Marvel Bicentennial Calendar, and canon information from the MCU and comics, you can now find out which comic book character has the same zodiac sign as yours.
Aries (March 21–April 19)
DC Comics: Wonder Woman (March 22)
Marvel: T’Chaka (March 25)
In astrology, Aries is the first sign of the zodiac, going from March 21 to April 19. This zodiac sign is represented by a ram, an animal that’s related with the Egyptian god Amon. Meanwhile, in Greek Mythology, Zeus transformed the ram, alongside a golden fleece, into a constellation.
Aries are known for being bold, passionate, and courageous. I think these traits fit perfectly with Wonder Woman and T’Chaka (former ruler of Wakanda), since both are active leaders among their people and are unafraid of standing up for others.
Taurus (April 20–May 20)
DC Comics: Donna Troy/Wonder Girl (April 26)
Marvel: Vision (May 5)
Taurus is an earth sign that’s usually associated with Zeus since the Olympus god took the form of this animal to abduct Europa. This zodiac sign has the 14th brightest star within its constellation, called Alpha Tauri or Aldebaran (“the follower”, in Arabic).
Taurus are identified as loyal and determined people who enjoy the finer things of life. Known as practical hard-workers yet also romantics with a warm spirit, heroes like Donna Troy and Vision reflect this personality in their personal lives as well as in their job of saving the day.
Gemini (May 21–June 21)
DC Comics: Carter Hall/Hawkman (June 1)
Marvel: Iron Man (May 29)
Represented by a set of twins, Gemini has been represented through various celebrated twins, such as Castor and Pollux, Romulus and Remus. In other astrologies, this zodiac sign can be shown as a pair of goats (Egyptian) or peacocks (Arabian).
Geminis are described as curious and with the possibility of two different personalities. Gifted with an intellectual mind and the skills of communication, they can process things at a quick pace so as to adapt for every situation.
Both Iron Man, a.k.a. Tony Stark, and the Hawkman of the Golden Age are two great examples of this zodiac sign.
Cancer (June 22–July 22)
DC Comics: The Joker (July 11)
Marvel: Steve Rogers/Captain America (July 4)
Being the fourth zodiac sign, Cancer is commonly portrayed with a crab (though some change it for a lobster or crayfish). This sea creature earned a spot among the stars, as a reward by Hera, when a crab pinched Heracles (Hercules) during his fight with the hydra.
Persons that have this zodiac sign tend to put their full heart into what they believe in. They are identified as emotional and intuitive. As much as it may seem weird to pair America’s hero with the Prince of Crime, they do posses the traits of a Cancer.
While Captain America represents the protective side of this zodiac sign, the Joker displays the goofy part— a very dark and twisted sense of humor.
*Note: Although he was physically born on August 1, the Joker was “re-born” on July 11, the day he fell on chemical acids and became Batman’s greatest enemy.
Leo (July 23–August 22)
DC Comics: The Penguin (July 26)
Marvel: Spiderman (August 10; MCU)
Leo is represented with the lion, the king of the jungle and a powerful wildcat. This zodiac sign tells the story of the Nemean lion, a beast that possessed an impenetrable golden fur, which was defeated by Heracles.
Leos are creative, passionate, and vivacious. They are loyal to their ideals; because they can sometimes posses a “royal vibe”, they can be perceived either as a confident person or an arrogant.
While Peter Parker belongs to the first, the Penguin fits more with the latter.
Virgo (August 23–September 22)
DC Comics: Supergirl (September 22)
Marvel: Archangel (September 22; comics)
This zodiac sign is portrayed by a young maiden carrying a sheaf of wheat. Some cultures identify her as a fertility goddess (Ishtar, a Mesopotamian deity) or a harvest maiden (like Persephone, a goddess of Greek Mythology).
Virgos are described as hardworking and analytical. They are known for being organized, and sometimes perfectionists, since virgos value loyalty, consistency, and productivity. However, this zodiac sign is also described as grounded and trustworthy.
Like a true Virgo, Supergirl often uses her talents in order to help those in need just like her cousin. Meanwhile, the evil version of Angel, a.k.a. Archangel, used his Virgo’s tenacity to create chaos in the X-Men universe.
*Note: Angel was “reborn” as one of Apocalypse’s horsemen on September 22, 1987.
Libra (September 23–October 23)
DC Comics: Barbara Gordon/Batgirl (September 23)
Marvel: Sam Wilson/Falcon/Captain America (September 23)
Libra is an air sign that’s represented by a woman (sometimes identified as Astraea, the Roman goddess of justice), holding a balance scale or by the balance alone.
This zodiac sign is related with justice, and harmony. They can be diplomatic, extroverted, and have a natural talent of connecting with others.
Like any other Libra, Barbara and Sam are social superheroes who act for peace and the balance of society.
Scorpio (October 24–November 21)
DC Comics: Nightwing (November 11)
Marvel: Dr. Strange (November 11)
Scorpio is depicted by a scorpion. In Greek Mythology, this creature responsible of Orion’s death for it stung the hunter with its poisonous stinger.
The zodiac sign has the traits of someone who’s passionate and cunning. Scorpios find it easy to charm others since they are seen as mysterious. Once they’ve set a goal, the scorpios will make sure to accomplish it.
Dr. Strange and Nightwing are courageous superheroes that employ all their wisdom and energy when facing their opponents.
Sagittarius (November 22–December 21)
DC Comics: Oliver Queen/Green Arrow (December 9)
Marvel: Loki (December 17, Earth-616)
This zodiac sign is represented either by a centaur shooting a bow and arrow or by an arrow drawn across a bow (guess this goes well with DC’s archer, right?).
A Sagittarius is seen as someone who’s adventurous, spontaneous, and craves to explore the mysteries of the world. They tend to come up with new ideas, making them have an impulsive spirit.
Despite being a hero and a villain, what Green arrow and Loki have in common is the fiery spirit of their zodiac sign that were born to be free and embark on personal journeys.
Capricorn (December 22–January 19)
DC Comics: Billy Batson/Shazam (December 23)
Marvel: Hawkeye (January 7)
Capricorn is depicted as a goat with a fishtail. An explanation of this hybrid has to do with the myth of Pan, who jumped into the water while escaping Typhon just as he was changing into animal shape. His upper half assumed the shape of a goat while the lower turned into a fishtail.
A Capricorn is someone who wants to establish a solid life and focuses on creating a path to accomplish it. To do so, a Capricorn might draw from the qualities of being patient and reserved, like Clint, or use their sense of humor to bond with those around, just like Billy.
Aquarius (January 20–February 18)
DC Comics: Arthur Curry/Aquaman (January 29)
Marvel: Scarlet Witch (February 10; comics)
Aquarius, also down as water bearer, is represented as a person pouring a stream of water out of a jug. In the Middle East, it has been said that this zodiac’s period coincided with rain and flood seasons.
Some of the Aquarius traits are independence and progress. They will defend their world’s point of view, making them a bit stubborn. Yet, this zodiac sign has been described as one of the most benevolent as well as innovative.
Seems fit for a certain king of the seven seas and a witch of chaos, right?
Pisces (February 19–March 20)
DC Comics: Bruce Wayne/Batman (February 19)
Marvel: Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier (March 10)
Last but not least, we have Pisces. This zodiac sign is depicted with two fish tied together, alluring the Greek myth of Aphrodite and Eros when they turned into this animal as they escaped from Typhon. (What’s up with this monster and its love of chasing gods?)
A Pisces personality is seen as “an old soul” by being imaginative, emotional, and intuitive. Those who belong to this zodiac sign are said to be selfless (which corresponds with Bruce and Bucky, since they tend to put the welfare of others before their own).
Moreover, Batman and Winter Soldier exemplify what it means to be a Pisces for they recreate their identity to flow within the world.
