Capricorn (December 22 - January 19)
The Wolf of Wall Street is basically your life story—minus the questionable ethics. Watch Leonardo DiCaprio hustle his way up the corporate ladder with deals that are a little too shady. Big dreams are great, but maybe skip the office parties with live animals.
You’re all about perfection, and Black Swan dives into that obsessive pursuit like nobody’s business. Natalie Portman’s character is the ballerina version of a Capricorn—determined, hardworking, and just a tad stressed about being the best. But don’t worry, you won’t have to deal with growing feathers.
Lastly, if there’s one thing you’re known for, it’s perseverance. The Pursuit of Happyness is all about grinding through the tough times to reach your goals. Like Will Smith’s character, you’ll tackle anything—even a Rubik’s Cube—to land that dream job.

Aquarius (January 20 - February 18)
Your love for the unconventional makes Swiss Army Man right up your alley. A movie about a talking, flatulent corpse helping a guy survive in the wilderness? It’s so weird it’s genius—kinda like your best ideas at 3 AM. You’ll totally get the bizarre humor and the surprisingly deep message about loneliness and connection.
Sorry to Bother You is customized to your passion for social change and innovation. This film’s sharp satire and dystopian twist on corporate life will have you nodding along, thinking, “Finally, someone gets it!” Just brace yourself for the wild ride that is the third act—it’s out there, even by your standards.
Your rebellious side and love for breaking the mold will totally click with Booksmart.

It’s clever, fresh, and just the kind of take on adolescence you’ve been waiting for.

Pisces (February 19 - March 20)
Your whimsical side will totally vibe with the quirky, colorful world of Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. It’s like a video game brought to life, with epic battles, romance, and a soundtrack that’ll get stuck in your head for days. It’s the perfect blend of fantasy and reality—just like your daydreams, only with more guitar solos and pixelated explosions.
You’ll definitely feel all the feels with The Perks of Being a Wallflower. This one’s all about friendship, self-discovery, and the ups and downs of growing up—basically like someone turned your diary into a movie. You’ll totally relate to the characters’ emotional rollercoasters, and if you tear up during the “infinite” scene, don’t worry—you’re in good company.
I am a Pisces moon and I, like Pearl, feel things very deeply. This psychological horror dives into the mind of a young woman with big dreams and even bigger nightmares. It’s unsettling, a little twisted, and probably reminds you of some of the weird dreams you’ve had. Just remember, not all fantasies need to come true… especially the murderous ones.

Aries (March 21 - April 19)
Your bold, competitive streak makes The Favourite a perfect match for your fiery personality. The film’s power struggles, sharp wit, and fierce rivalries are the kind of high-stakes drama that’ll keep you hooked. The snappy dialogue and ruthless ambition? It’s basically you on board game night—just with more powdered wigs.
Mad Max: Fury Road is your kind of adrenaline rush. The non-stop car chases, explosions, and intense energy are exactly what you live for. It’s like a two-hour sprint through a post-apocalyptic desert. Just maybe don’t try to reenact any of those stunts IRL—your insurance might not cover that.
Whiplash will hit home for you, with its story of a young drummer pushing himself to the edge under a tough mentor. It’s all about that relentless drive to be the best—something you totally get. But hey, while ambition is awesome, maybe leave the chair-throwing to the movies… it’s not the best look in a meeting.

Taurus (April 20 - May 20)
Your love for nostalgia and simple pleasures makes Adventureland a sweet trip down memory lane. This coming-of-age story set in an amusement park is all about finding joy in little things—like cotton candy, bumper cars, and awkward first kisses. It’s the perfect pick for when you’re feeling sentimental. Just be ready for a serious craving for funnel cake.
Your practical side and love for authenticity will totally connect with Juno. This quirky indie flick is packed with sharp wit, real emotion, and a lot of heart—just like you. Plus, Juno’s straightforward approach to life is something you can totally vibe with, even if her snack choices are a bit out there.
Midsommar will draw you in with its connection to nature and beauty, even though it’s also deeply disturbing. The lush landscapes, vibrant colors, and unsettling cult rituals are mesmerizing—like a gorgeous flower with a deadly secret. Just remember, not all festivals are worth attending… especially the ones with weird ceremonies and questionable menu items.

Gemini (May 21 - June 20)
With your love for complex ideas, Inception is the ultimate brain-bender. The multi-layered dream worlds and mind-twisting plot will keep you intrigued, and let’s be honest—you’ll probably spend days debating if that top was still spinning. Just don’t try explaining it to your friends; you might need a dream within a dream to get through it all.

If you’ve ever wondered about meeting your doppelgänger, Enemy is your movie. This psychological thriller plays with identity and reality in a way that’s practically a Gemini dream (or nightmare?).

Cancer (June 21 - July 22)
Little Women is your movie soulmate. It’s cozy, comforting, and packed with heart—basically, it’s like a warm blanket in film form. Watching the March sisters go through life’s ups and downs will hit you right in the feels, and you’ll probably wish you could join them in their cozy New England home (cookies optional).
You’re deeply emotional and all about family, but Stoker takes those vibes and turns them dark. This psychological thriller is packed with hidden family secrets and intense emotions—think of it as your worst nightmare and most fascinating story combined. Just remember, not every family dinner needs to end in a dramatic reveal.
The Master might not be an obvious choice, but its deep exploration of human connection and emotional manipulation is right up your alley. You’ll probably end up analyzing the characters like it’s a family reunion gone wrong. Just maybe avoid psychoanalyzing your own family after watching.

Leo (July 23 - August 22)

Whether she’s battling school rivals or dreaming of Broadway, she’s giving off major Leo energy. Just maybe try to keep your own life drama-free, okay?
If there’s one thing you can’t resist, it’s extravagance, and Marie Antoinette delivers. With its lavish costumes, decadent parties, and endless desserts, this film is basically a Leo’s dream. Plus, who doesn’t love a good royal story?
The Great Gatsby is your kind of movie—full of glamor, stunning fashion, and parties that are over-the-top fabulous.

Prepare to be both fascinated and freaked out by The Lighthouse. Its attention to detail—from the bleak setting to the unraveling minds of its characters—is a Virgo’s dream (or nightmare) come true. It’s intense, unsettling, and all about the slow descent into madness. Just remember, while analyzing every little thing is fun, sometimes it’s okay to let loose… just not with hallucinating seagulls.
The Virgin Suicides will draw you in with its haunting beauty. The film’s exploration of adolescence, mystery, and the unknown is captivating, especially for your introspective, detail-oriented nature. The underlying melancholy and meticulous storytelling will resonate with you. Just be ready for some deep reflection after the credits roll.

Libra (September 23 - October 22)
500 Days of Summer will take you on a ride with its emotional ups and downs, challenging your love for balance and harmony.

Don’t be surprised if you end up analyzing your own love life afterward—finding that perfect balance is key, after all.
You’ll fall head over heels for Roman Holiday. Audrey Hepburn’s iconic style, the romantic streets of Rome, and the charming storyline are everything you could want in a movie. It’s the perfect blend of love, adventure, and timeless elegance—like your dream weekend getaway, minus the paparazzi.

Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21)
As a fellow Sagittarian, we have a wicked sense of humor, which makes Jennifer’s Body the perfect horror-comedy for you. This film’s blend of snappy dialogue and supernatural shenanigans will keep you entertained, and a demonically possessed character is exactly the kind of wild ride I’d sign up for.
