Which 16-Year-Old Fictional Character You Are, Based on Your Zodiac Sign

Are you a Lara Jean Covey or Katniss Everdeen?

June 12, 2019

A sweet 16 is your coming-of-age party. At this point, you may not have the full freedom of being an adult, but you’re starting to figure out the person you want to become. With the Sun in Gemini right now, you’re probably feeling excited, but maybe a little anxious too about this life change. The new moon in Gemini has encouraged us to have conversations about “what's next” or “what’s going to happen?” While you may not be able to read the future, what you can do is gain a deeper understanding of yourself. What better way to do that than through movies and TV shows?

In honor of getting closer to adulthood, we compiled a list of what iconic 16-year-old character each sign represents. Are you more of a Katniss Everdeen or a Lara Jean Covey? Read on to find out.

Six is a sex and love astrologer, writer, social worker (MSW), and the creator of BlackWomenCry.

Aries: CJ Walker, See You Yesterday
Even though Aries is the “baby” of the Zodiac, you’ll still find that these firecrackers pride themselves on their independence and strong personalities. Like an Aries, CJ is a go-getter who isn’t afraid to stand up for herself, especially if it’s something she’s passionate about. A naturally born leader, she doesn’t hesitate to take action and makes bold decisions. Whether arguing her grades or spontaneously traveling back in time, CJ Walker is willing to live in the moment.

Taurus: Katniss Evergreen, The Hunger Games
Famous for the line “I volunteer as tribute,” Katniss seems like a Leo because of her bravery, but her motivation for stepping up came from her desire to protect her younger sister. Taurus is ruled by Venus, the planet of love and beauty, and you’d be surprised how devoted a Taurus can be when they feel responsible for you. Taurus is a strong and practical sign, and through Katniss’s love for her family we see how brave Taurus signs can be.

Gemini: Starr Carter, The Hate U Give
Quick-witted and expressive, Geminis are balls of energy that value communication and intellectual thought. They are characterized as needing to be on the move, so it’s not difficult to imagine the outspoken and athletic Starr Carter as a Gemini. Starr has no issues adapting to and switching between two opposing worlds, and she doesn’t lose herself in the process. She does have a fun and gentle side, but when called to action, she has no problem revealing a more serious and powerful version of herself.

Cancer: Otis Milburn, Sex Education
Cancer can be one of the more difficult signs to be, especially if you don’t live in a society that embraces people being their most authentic selves. Cancers are loyal, highly imaginative, empathetic, and intuitive — just like Otis Milburn. Otis used his experience to be of service to others, which is why, when his friend Maeve said she needed help, he stepped right up. Otis uses his ability to sympathize with others to do double-duty as a student and a sex therapist, and helps a friend in need.

Leo: Moana Waialiki, Moana
You’ll know when you meet a Leo. Trust me, they’ll tell you who they are. Leos are super proud and they love being admired, but they are also very warm-hearted and will go out of their way to defend who and what they believe in. Moana is described by her Gramma Tala as someone who “stands out from the crowd.” She’s more humble than her friend Maui, but you can still see her Leo traits shine when she bravely leaves her family to save her village.

Virgo: Hermione Granger, Harry Potter
A typical Virgo is loyal, analytical, hardworking, and practical. They prefer to work behind the scenes, and would rather be praised for the quality of their work than their social presence. Virgo is the sign most likely to pick up on the smallest details, making Hermione Granger’s line, “It’s leviOsa, not levioSA” an obvious giveaway. Like a Virgo, Hermione presents as a serious and put-together character, but even she has moments of being too hard on herself.

Libra: Cady Heron, Mean Girls
Without really realizing it, most Libras feel a deep desire for everyone to get along. They value balance and cooperation, so much so that they’ll work extra hard to support others at the expense of themselves. Partnership and sharing are very important to this sign, which is why Cady Heron is a classic Libra. Mean Girls starts off with Cady getting heartbroken over her childhood love, and then transitions into Cady falling for Regina George’s boyfriend, Aaron. Throughout the movie, Cady works her hardest to be diplomatic, and in the end takes accountability for her actions to restore social peace.

Scorpio: Sabrina Spellman, The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina
They aren’t exactly recognized for their sensitivity, but Scorpios are extremely emotional in nature, which is why they’re so suspicious and protective. They are a water sign after all, and they hold great potential for being perceptive and intuitive individuals. Being a Scorpio, Sabrina Spellman values long term and tight-knit friendships and is protective of her loved ones. While she’s still developing her Scorpio powers of perception and understanding, you’ll notice she’s learning to better understand herself through understanding others.

Sagittarius: Shuri, Black Panther
If you remember nothing about Sagittarius, remember that they are all convinced that they are the funniest sign out of the entire Zodiac. Sagittariuses are optimistic, freedom loving, and always cracking jokes. That’s why Shuri is a perfect example of this sign. She’s extremely intelligent and doesn’t hesitate to speak her mind. Ruled by Jupiter, Sagittarius energy needs to have the ability to expand and grow, which is why you’ll never catch Shuri having a closed mind.

Capricorn: Mulan, Once Upon a Time
Out of all the signs, Capricorn has the whole “adulting” thing down. They are responsible, hardworking, and prefer to maintain tradition. As controversial as this argument is, Mulan is an great example of a Capricorn. She did defy the rules by pretending to be a man and joining the army, but she did it to maintain her father’s honor and protect her family. Mulan showcases a high level of discipline and duty.

Aquarius: Ariel, The Little Mermaid
It’s not lost on me that labeling a mermaid an Aquarius is a stereotypical thing to do, but hear me out: Aquarius has to step outside of the box; they can’t deal with being restrained by people, things, or expectations. This sign demands autonomy and originality, which is exactly why they get uncomfortable when you tell them what to do. A little known fact about Aquarius is they love being in love. That’s why Ariel’s decision to disobey her father, trust an evil sea witch, and leave everything she knows for a boy was an extremely Aquarian thing to do. When an Aquarius is in love you’ll know it, because they’ll be willing to sacrifice being heard for you.

Pisces: Lara Jean Covey, To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before
The last sign of the Zodiac is Pisces, and they are known for compassion, wisdom, and having a dreamy-disposition. Pisces love to lose themselves in creative pursuits; writing, vision-boarding, music, and even astrology. So it's no surprise that the quirky, scrapbooking, fashionista Lara Jean is a Pisces! She’s one of the most compassionate characters in the movie, which we see by her encouraging her father to remarry, even though she still misses her mother. Plus, what could be more Pisces than to write a series of love letters to all your crushes, and never mail them?
