From the Plastics to the Mathletes to the jocks, parents, and faculty, we've got every character who makes a splash on the big screen covered through astrology — even though we don't even go to their school. Find out which Mean Girls movie musical character embodies your astrological identity below:
Aries: Regina George
Regina, the leader of an infamous clique, “The Plastics,” that reigns over North Shore High School, embodies the qualities of an Aries. Like those born under this fire sign, she is a natural leader who strives to be no. 1. Regina's competitive spirit often leads her to take control of her besties. Regina finds solace in competition and winning — in the original movie, her newfound love for lacrosse at the end of the movie that helps manage her merciless aggressiveness and vibrant energy.
Taurus: Damian
Damian is an extremely devoted and loyal BFF to Janis, always standing by her side through thick and thin (a trait of Taurus individuals). He even distances himself from Cady, who he considers a close friend, because of her excessive reliance on “The Plastics.” Damian’s allegiance knows no bounds, and he always supports his "ride or die", Janis — even if that means picking sides amidst the mean girl drama of North Shore High School.
Gemini: Gretchen Weiners
Gretchen, the Plastics member who is always up-to-date with the latest news and tends to share rumors without much thought, bears a striking resemblance to the Gemini zodiac sign. Geminis are known for being the messengers of information and news, similar to Gretchen, and they place a high value on relationships because they’re the only sign that is permanently partnered in the sky. Gretchen always desires to have someone to look up to and idolize.
Cancer: Aaron
As the sensitive jock who catches the eye of Cady, Aaron has a tender heart and wants everyone to strive to be their best. This nurturing energy makes him aligned with the astrological sign Cancer, because at the core he is someone who genuinely cares about the people in his orbit. He doesn't want anyone to be fake, and runs away from those who aren't in an effort to protect themselves from phoniness and drama.
Leo: Kevin G
As the captain of “The Mathletes,” Kevin exudes confidence and intelligence. His forthright and strong-willed personality, typical of a Leo, allows him to lead his team with directness and self-assurance. He’s determined to win the competition and secure a gold trophy for his school, especially since math is his passion. Kevin encourages Cady to join the team and utilize her abilities to help “The Mathletes” achieve their goal under the watchful eye of Ms. Norbury.
Virgo: Ms. Norbury
Like Virgo, Ms. Norbury pushes those she cares about to advance in life. If there is someone who she feels is stepping out of line or who needs a little more attention, Ms. Norbury ushers them in the right direction and makes them work hard to attain success — which is the love language of Virgos. This earth sign critiques and gives energy to the people they care the most about and has the most potential.
Libra: Ms. Heron
Cady’s mother, Mrs. Heron, wants her daughter to strive towards being the best version of herself. As a fair, understanding, and compassionate parent, she encourages Cady to always do the proper thing and treat people with respect and dignity. These values resonate with the traits of a Libra, who are known for their just and fair demeanor — as well as their ability to motivate those they care about stay on the right, virtuous path.
Scorpio: Cady Heron
Cady may not be the OG mastermind behind taking down “The Plastics,” but she is certainly a player in the plot before going rogue — there's a lot underneath her seemingly easy-going exterior. Throughout the movie, she remains extremely secretive, which aligns her most with the zodiac sign Scorpio. In this regard, Cady, who possesses brooding intensity, tenacity, and a desire to go head to head with the Queen Bee of North Shore High, demonstrates Scorpio-like behavior in her quest to renounce Regina George.
Sagittarius: Mrs. George
Regina's mother exudes an outgoing, if cringey, personality, which aligns with the characteristics of a Sagittarius — lively, thrilling, and always game for a good time. Not conforming to standard motherly stereotypes, Mrs. George is a self-proclaimed “cool mom” who injects her exuberant energy into her daughter's life. Mrs. George shatters any preconceived notions of traditional parenting roles by wanting to live and take care of her family the way she wants like any independent Sagittarius would.
Capricorn: Principal Duvall
As the Principal of North Shore High School, Mr. Duvall encourages everyone to work diligently towards fostering a harmonious environment. Like any Capricorn would and should, he urges the students to reflect on their actions and take responsibility for creating situations that may have caused issues between them. His belief is that with enough effort, individuals can overcome their differences and work towards the greater good of the school, ensuring positive relationships are maintained.
Aquarius: Janis
Janis doesn't conform to high school social norms and instead follows her own path, focusing on her art, like any Aquarius would. Although air signs tend to get caught up in the goings-on of others, Janis stands up for herself and doesn't let anyone bring her down, especially her nemesis, Regina. Janis seeks revenge to prove that the high school hierarchy and popularity need to be reconstructed, challenged, and changed, which are amazing traits of Aquarians.
Pisces: Karen
Karen is a key member of the girl gang who is known for her funny (if ditzy) commentary and soft-spoken nature. She experiences psychic instances that she calls “ESPN” moments instead of “ESP,” which align with the intuitiveness of Pisces. Like Pisces, Karen is emotionally sensitive and trusts her “fifth sense.” When Karen faces conflict with Regina, she chooses to avoid it and swim away from confrontation, like many Pisces tend to do, preferring to stay in her happy bubble.
