Zodiac Signs Of Every Main Character

On the teen drama TV show Gossip Girl, there were definitely some strong personalities, and there were known birthdates as well, allowing fans to figure out the Gossip Girl zodiac signs of those strong presonalities. Most of them match up pretty well with how the characters are portrayed in the show. Fans of the original book series might see some differences, but for the most part, they’re accurate. It’s when the Gossip Girl sequel series for HBO comes into play that the birthdays don’t match up as well to zodiac signs as the characters are portrayed.

The Western zodiac has 12 accepted zodiac signs based on when a person is born throughout the year. Those star signs help determine dominant personality traits. For a show like Gossip Girl that doesn’t rely on astrology or birthdays to bring out the drama in its characters, it’s unlikely that the zodiac signs of Gossip Girl characters were taken into account while writing episodes, but it certainly makes for an interesting way to examine the characters.

Aries – Nate Archibald

Aries signs are born from March 21 to April 19, and they are outgoing, passionate, and to the point. Two major characters fall into this category, including Nate Archibald, who was born on April 5.

Nate is a social character and his love life alone allows him to show off his passionate side. Aries are said to have leadership qualities that stem from their passionate natures, which is interesting considering that Nate likes being in control of his life. Nate is confident given how wealthy he has grown up, although he struggles with feeling isolated from his parents. Even when an Aries doesn’t feel especially confident though, they’re able to fake it, just like Nate.

Aries – Jenny Humphrey

Jenny Humphrey is an Aries sign as she was born on March 30. Like Nate, Jenny is passionate, although she focuses more on fashion than on dating. There are many sad things about Jenny on Gossip Girl, like when she feels that her family doesn’t support her dreams, but her own passion never wavers.

Jenny certainly didn’t fear speaking up and speaking out, especially when on her quest to become the Queen Bee. Some fans might find her to be one of the worst characters when she goes down that path, but Jenny is really demonstrating that impulsive and passionate Aries nature.

Taurus – Dan Humphrey

Those born anywhere from April 20 to May 20 will find Taurus as their zodiac sign. Taurus signs are typically dependable and ambitious, as well as a bit stubborn. This fits Dan Humphrey well, which makes sense, as his birthday was April 20. He was a good guy, deep down, who tried to do the right thing.

Dan wanted to fit in, but he also wanted to expose the hypocrisy in the Upper East Side. He also had goals he wanted to reach. All of those aspects tended to conflict in him. He could also be stuck in his ways, not wanting to adapt to the glitzy world of Gossip Girl. It’s still strange to see Dan as Gossip Girl, given the kind personality that he has throughout the series.

Gemini – Ivy Dickens

Gemini signs tend to be vibrant and a bit impulsive, and those who are Gemini signs were born between May 21 and June 20. This describes Ivy Dickens’ Gossip Girl zodiac sign, a character who was born on June 12.

She is a colorful and extroverted young woman, and impulsive could definitely be a word to describe her. Ivy often pretends to be someone else, lies to everyone, kicks a family out of their home, and so on. She is a great communicator, like most social Geminis, but she uses her Gemini charm and adaptability to con people.

Gemini – Max Wolfe

According to Max Wolfe’s Instagram profile in the Gossip Girl sequel series, he’s canonically a Cancer instead of a Gemini, born on July 19. The Gemini sign actually fits him better though as Geminis are considered the most social of the astrological signs. Some see them as fickle, flitting from friend to friend or relationship to relationship, but that’s not necessarily the case.

Geminis love making connections with new people. They don’t always want those connections to be life-long though. That’s exactly how Max views new connections in the series. He likes meeting new people and experiencing new things, which is also evident in his love of a good party.

Cancer – Serena Van Der Woodsen

One of the stars of the Upper East Side is a Cancer. Serena van der Woodsen’s birthday is on July 14. The birthdates of Cancer signs range from June 21 to July 22, and the positive traits of this zodiac sign include being protective and persuasive, while the negative ones include being moody and manipulative.

All of these traits apply well to Serena. Serena is incredibly protective of the people she cares about. Serena sets up elaborate plans to get back at people who wrong her. Serena also sounds like the more negative parts of a Cancer sign. Serena can be incredibly manipulative when she doesn’t get her way, even hurting her best friend Blair as a result.

Cancer – Akeno “Aki” Menzies

Aki’s birthday is revealed in the series as July 27, which actually lands just after Cancer season and would make him a Leo. Aki, however, has a lot more Cancer tendencies than Leo tendencies considering his desire to not draw attention to himself, but rather give attention to others.

Aki has all the caregiver traits usually associated with Cancers. He’s a good listener, prompting most of his friends to seek him out for advice and jokingly call him “Dr. Menzies.” He is also a very loyal friend, defending Julien when she doesn’t tell all of her friends every detail of her life. Loyalty and sensitivity are also traits associated with Cancer.

Leo – Cyrus Rose

Although Cyrus Rose’s birthday isn’t explained in Gossip Girl, if fans were to pick out a zodiac sign for Eleanor Waldorf’s love interest, it seems like it would be Leo.

Leo signs are fun, friendly, and like having busy social lives. Cyrus loves being around other people and even though he knows that Blair doesn’t take to him at first, he knows that he can show her that he’s a good person. Cyrus is the life of the party, like some other characters on Gossip Girl, and he and Eleanor have a great relationship. Leos sometimes become frustrated when people don’t pay enough attention to them, and Cyrus doesn’t have that negative trait.

Leo – Eleanor Waldorf

Blair’s mom Eleanor Waldorf was born on August 20, making her a Leo just like her husband, as Leos are born between July 23 and August 22.

The traits of Leos include being fiery, passionate, and brave. As a protective mother and a hard-working professional, she certainly fits into this category. Eleanor makes some changes, going from someone who neglects Blair and doesn’t give her the time of day to a more caring parent who wants to be there for Blair all the time. Eleanor shows bravery in most of her storylines, including when she takes a leap of faith and marries Cyrus.

Virgo – CeCe Rhodes

Virgos are born between August 23 to September 22, and they are practical and even critical at times. While her birthday was not officially confirmed in the show, this does sound like CeCe Rhodes.

She is the matriarch of the family, and she wants things her way… or else. It’s easy to see that Lily has trouble being around her mother. It’s also possible to say that Lily raises her kids in a similarly cold fashion as Lily doesn’t always open up to Serena and Eric.

Virgo – Kate Keller

Kate’s birthday isn’t revealed in the Gossip Girl sequel series’ zodiac signs, but her strive for perfection and her desire to make her environment a better one (despite her twisted methods) are a match for a Virgo. Virgos are the planners of the zodiac, the sign that needs everything to be just so.

In fact, Virgos so desire perfection that if they think they can’t achieve it, they will self-sabotage that area of their life. That is exactly what Kate does with her writing. She excels at mimicking the voice of Gossip Girl’s writing style though, and she runs her time as the social media vigilante on a strict schedule.

Libra – Bart Bass

Libras are born between September 23 and October 22. Libras tend to be diplomatic and intelligent, which sounds sort of like Bart Bass when he isn’t leaning into his most villainous side. Libra signs can examine all angles of a situation and play devil’s advocate.

A lot of the time, Bart is more devil than advocate. Bart is a terrible father to Chuck and never shows him that he loves him. Chuck spends most of the series wondering if his dad even cares about him at all, which is awful. Bart is single-minded and only thinks about his business and making as much money as possible. He uses connections and his communication skills to do just that, representing how the positive traits of a Gossip Girl zodiac sign can be used in a negative way.

Libra – Audrey Hope

Like Max in the Gossip Girl sequel series, Audrey is actually a Cancer, born on June 27. While she does have a lot of Cancer traits, she also shares a lot of traits with the Libra sign. It would make sense for Audrey’s Gossip Girl zodiac sign to even be a Cancer with a Libra moon. Moon signs can often help to explain a person’s motivations.

While Audrey has the sensitive and caring nature of a Cancer, Libras are about balance. She strives for balance in her everyday life, remaining social and seemingly effortlessly friendly even while she struggles at home. If her home life can’t be what she wants, she can make her school social life balance it out.

Scorpio – Blair Waldorf

Fans who want to know Blair Waldorf’s Gossip Girl zodiac sign are in luck as her birthday is revealed in the series. Scorpios are born from October 23 to November 21 and Blair Waldorf, who was born on November 15. Scorpio signs can be confident and brave, and they can also be intense and obsessive. From their day-to-day activities to their infamous schemes, these words for sure describe two rival characters in the original series.

Neither of these women is afraid to go after what they want, but they also tend to keep their feelings as close to the vest as possible. This makes it hard for them to get close to new friends, another hallmark of a Scorpio.

Scorpio – Georgina Sparks

Georgina Sparks, who was born on November 8, is a Scorpio, just like Blair. It’s interesting that these Gossip Girl characters share the same zodiac sign considering that they spend the majority of the series being total enemies.

Georgina is passionate and stubborn and likes to follow her instincts, even if they’re mean. She doesn’t listen to what other people say and if someone tries to warn her that karma will come back to get her, she shrugs and moves on. While these characters don’t like each other, they do scheme with the best of them.

Sagittarius – Rufus Humphrey

If someone’s zodiac sign is Sagittarius, that means they were born between November 22 and December 21, and they may be free-spirited. This can lead to being too independent or too reliant on themselves and even egotistical.

Rufus Humphrey’s journey from a rock star to a single dad to someone who had the Upper East Side life and came back again could be summed up with these words. Rufus is one of the best Gossip Girl fathers and he loves his kids so much. His birthday is December 7, making him one of the characters with a known Gossip Girl zodiac sign.

Sagittarius – Zoya Lott

Canonically in the Gossip Girl reboot, Zoya is a Libra with an October 22 birthday. She does have the communication skills of a Libra, but she doesn’t quite strive for balance the way that Audrey does. Instead, Zoya is more closely aligned with the opinionated scholar of the zodiac, the Sagittarius.

Sagittarius is known for being the sign that is always striving for more. Sometimes that can give them a sense of wanderlust and a desire for travel, but more often than not, it’s a desire for knowledge. Zoya demonstrates that well as she is always soaking up the information around her and applying it to new situations. She’s never afraid to speak up and tell others just what she knows.

Capricorn – Chuck Bass

Capricorns are serious and disciplined, and they can even come across as stubborn. While Chuck Bass certainly knows how to have fun and takes a few years before growing up and getting serious, this sounds like him. Even before he gets serious about the family business, his schemes are run like a tight ship. He’s incredibly disciplined when he wants to be.

This makes sense because Capricorns are born from December 22 to January 19, and Chuck’s birthday was January 19. Chuck and Blair’s relationship spans the show’s six seasons, and it’s tough to agree with Chuck’s behavior all the time as he tends to shut her out, but that also makes sense for his Capricorn nature. Capricorns can take a long time to let people see them be vulnerable.

Aquarius – Vanessa Abrams

Aquarius birthdays go from January 20 to February 19, which means that Vanessa Abrams was one, as she entered the world on February 19. Some traits related to this sign include being creative and unique, which certainly sounds like this character. Gossip Girl fans sympathize with Vanessa but also agree that sometimes, she behaves in a confusing manner.

From the documentaries she made to the vibrant outfits she wore, Vanessa is a true Aquarius. She paves her own path with her own style, not allowing herself to get sucked too far into the world of Gossip Girl. Fans definitely love seeing the outfits that Vanessa puts together.

Aquarius – Otto “Obie” Bergmann IV

Among the Gossip Girl reboot zodiac signs, Obie should either be a Leo or a Virgo since his birthday is revealed to be sometime in August. Neither of those signs quite fit the unique Gossip Girl character though. An activist who thinks outside of the box, Obie is a much better fit for Aquarius.

Aquarius is known as the rebel of the zodiac. They have the same tendency to dream as a Pisces, but they’re more likely to make those dreams a reality, like Obie attending protests that he believes in. He has a very different perspective from the rest of the Upper East Side elite, and his tendency to view the world completely differently makes him an Aquarius.

Pisces – Lily Van Der Woodsen

Lily Van Der Woodsen was born on March 9, 1966, which makes her a Pisces sign. Pisces are musical, creative, and tend to be sensitive. Lily sounds like this as she loves her kids and feels things deeply, even though there are times when she seems cold.

Lily has a hard time on the series and struggles with looking fancy, sophisticated, and elegant. Lily wants to find love, although she makes some poor decisions in that category. But fans can definitely see that Lily is as emotional as Pisces signs are.

Pisces – Eric Van Der Woodsen

The Pisces birthdates run from February 20 to March 20. These types are caring and sensitive, just like Eric Van Der Woodsen. He was born on February 21, and he was one of the most genuine characters in the series, though he left Gossip Girl before the show completed its run.

He was not afraid to share his feelings, and he let his loved ones know he was there for them. Though he doesn’t spend as long in the series as some of the other characters, his characterization is definitely one of the most compatible of the Gossip Girl character zodiac signs. Eric and Serena have a sweet bond and fans love watching Eric.

Despite it being unlikely that zodiac signs played a huge part in the Gossip Girl writing process, more often than not, Gossip Girl characters fit the traits of the zodiac signs well. Analyzing the personalities of the Gossip Girl characters through those zodiac signs, it’s clear how closely the personalities match up.
