Inexplicable, supernatural events are a part of everyday life in Hawkins, Indiana, and survival in the sleepy Midwestern burg often requires a unique combination of resilience, fortitude, and quick thinking. To divine how the characters of Stranger Things might fare as they face off against interdimensional monsters and navigate the day-to-day turmoil that comes with coming-of-age (or, in the case of the adults, wrangling tweens and teens), Queue consulted astrologer Eva Sealove. After careful consideration, our expert categorized the major players by sign, based on the personality traits they most strongly display. Read on to see what the stars had to say about Mike, El, and the rest of the show’s eclectic crew.

Nancy Wheeler (Natalia Dyer)
Nancy Wheeler: Aries
A badass. Nancy is fiery, active, determined, motivated, brave. She is direct and driven. She’s not afraid to go after what she wants — whether that’s vanquishing the Demogorgon or getting straight As.
![Dustin Henderson (Gaten Matarazzo)](https://images.prismic.io/netflix-queue/f7691685-de02-4191-83a1-73f491ea27e6_Dustin_102_001r.jpg?auto=compress,format&rect=0,0,1141,1141&w=2000&h=2000)
Dustin Henderson (Gaten Matarazzo)
Dustin Henderson: Taurus
A backpack full of snacks and a heart of gold. Dustin! What a sweetie pie! He is nurturing to a fault, even when that means inadvertently becoming the teenage dad to a bloodthirsty Demodog. Dustin is stubborn and determined. He’s reliable, solid, dependable. He’s an incredibly loyal friend, and he loves snacks. Especially nougat.
![Max Mayfield (Sadie Sink)](https://images.prismic.io/netflix-queue/8384a9d4-f6d4-4afa-8acc-f521effa2a6c_MAX+_+A26_promo_stills_022519.0040_R.jpg?auto=compress,format&rect=1,0,1846,1846&w=2000&h=2000)
Max Mayfield (Sadie Sink)
Max Mayfield: Gemini
Back off, stalkers! MADMAX is mercurial. Her video-game game is quite literally straight fire. She’s got a skateboard and she’s not afraid to use it. She’s a bit misunderstood, elusive, mysterious, a little raw. She has a complicated sibling relationship, and sometimes says things she regrets.
![Jim Hopper (David Harbour)](https://images.prismic.io/netflix-queue/d2e60d59-b8d2-47d4-8803-e19662f4a42f_Hopper+-+A042_C008_1121AW_001.953398r.jpg?auto=compress,format&rect=0,0,2519,2519&w=2000&h=2000)
Jim Hopper (David Harbour)
Jim Hopper: Leo
*Wakes up drunk* *Saves the town* Hop is charismatic, fiery, brave, and stubborn. He trusts himself above and before anyone else. He’s prone to overdoing it. A natural leader, he’s instinctive and willing to use brute force. The citizens of Hawkins are drawn to his charisma, and he gets a free pass for some of his less favorable behavior — Leos really can charm their way out of anything. As a Leo ruled by the sun, Jim Hopper is the one who shines his light on the truth. He is loving, but gruffly so, and not prone to sentimentality.
![Lucas Sinclair (Caleb McLaughlin) smiles slightly wearing a bomber jacket.](https://images.prismic.io/netflix-queue/66298533-421a-462e-b7c4-dac41a704866_Lucas_wv_publicity_pre_launch_A_still_35.000001.jpg?auto=compress,format&rect=0,0,3485,3485&w=2000&h=2000)
Lucas Sinclair (Caleb McLaughlin)
Lucas Sinclair: Virgo
First of all. . . . Lucas wants everything to make sense. He wants space and time to think through and process his thoughts before he acts. When he’s pushed into changes or into making quick decisions, Lucas gets a little scrambled. He has a strong sense of “the code” and wants to follow his own rules. He wants others to follow his rules, too. He’s a natural skeptic, and a natural romantic.
![Jonathan Byers (Charlie Heaton)](https://images.prismic.io/netflix-queue/cbce8faa-40c6-43bd-9ebb-99e277adaa80_Jonathan_ST_105-106_Unit_6479r2.jpg?auto=compress,format&rect=0,1,1097,1097&w=2000&h=2000)
Jonathan Byers (Charlie Heaton)
Jonathan Byers: Scorpio
*Prolonged eye contact* Jonathan is self-protective, and protective of his younger brother. He’s a bit of a loner. People regard him with suspicion because he keeps his true self hidden, but he’s actually harmless. His emotions are just intense, and he doesn’t want others to see that. But he’s not afraid of the truth. He’s artistic, deeply sensitive, and not afraid to stand up for himself when he’s pushed to his limit.
![Dr. Martin Brenner (Matthew Modine) wears a black suit jacket, white shirt, and black tie.](https://images.prismic.io/netflix-queue/4474dac1-9dca-4570-8693-c38849e1f7fb_Brenner+-+ep108_stillPullsForNetflix_052516_1.413.1r.jpg?auto=compress,format&rect=0,0,1146,1146&w=2000&h=2000)
Dr. Martin Brenner (Matthew Modine)
Dr. Martin Brenner: Scorpio
Here’s Papa! Dr. Brenner represents the shadow side of Scorpio. He’s manipulative and charismatic. He is fascinated by the infinite possibilities of the unknown. He has an innate ability to bring others into his vision, almost as though he has the power of hypnosis.
![Steve Harrington (Joe Keery) wears a green shirt and stands in a school hallway.](https://images.prismic.io/netflix-queue/3623b334-a1d6-4080-905d-41edf21369d0_Steve_102_006r.jpg?auto=compress,format&rect=0,0,1023,1023&w=2000&h=2000)
Steve Harrington (Joe Keery)
Steve Harrington: Sagittarius
My beauty routine? Fabergé Organics! Steve is a peacock. He is popular, sociable, extroverted. He is logical but impulsive — his ego gets him in trouble with authority figures and his peers, but he is ultimately altruistic. He operates on instinct.
![Barbara Holland (Shannon Purser) leans against her school locker.](https://images.prismic.io/netflix-queue/bf9522ff-7270-4e81-9b31-6a97822e7d7a_Barb+-+1201236-881192-zoomed.jpg?auto=compress,format&rect=0,0,1920,1920&w=2000&h=2000)
Barbara Holland (Shannon Purser)
Barbara Holland: Capricorn
This isn’t you, Nancy! Barbara is conservative, and resistant to change. Not great at parties. Capricorn is ruled by the planet Saturn, which represents “the rules” and “time.” Barb is especially concerned with Nancy’s rapidly changing social life and wants her to slow down.
![Mike Wheeler (Finn Wolfhard) scowls in a striped shirt and grey jacket.](https://images.prismic.io/netflix-queue/e946240c-21ab-432a-99f1-526f1647fe18_Mike+-+ST_101-102_Unit_4253r2.jpg?auto=compress,format&rect=1,0,1895,1895&w=2000&h=2000)
Mike Wheeler (Finn Wolfhard)
Mike Wheeler: Aquarius
Friends don’t lie. Mike is the leader of his community. He is cerebral, community-driven, moral, and deeply devoted to his friends. He’s logical but open-minded, willing to approach things and people he doesn’t yet understand.
Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown)
Eleven: Aquarius
BRB, meditation time. Hold my wig. Eleven’s life was shaped by science. Trapped in a cyborg’s dilemma, Eleven is a sensitive person turned into a machine via experimental technology. “Regular life” is utterly alien to her. Her very existence represents technological innovation and the powers of the mind. Plus, Aquarius is the eleventh sign of the zodiac.
![Will Byers (Noah Schnapp) sports a pretty solid bowl cut in this close-up image.](https://images.prismic.io/netflix-queue/e76fb34c-ff6c-4245-adc2-02546cfe0923_Will_EN-US_ST2_Darkness_3840x2160_Still01.jpg?auto=compress,format&rect=0,0,2318,2318&w=2000&h=2000)
Will Byers (Noah Schnapp)
Will Byers: Pisces/Aries Cusp
*Dies* *Comes back to life* Pisces and Aries are the last and the first signs of the zodiac, respectively. Will, too, straddles this world and the next. He often finds himself in parallel universes. He’s sensitive, a bit shy, mystical, imaginative. A fighter.
Joyce Byers (Winona Ryder)
Joyce Byers: Pisces
Can’t talk right now. Gotta go have a conversation with my lamp. Joyce is deeply sensitive to her environment. She acts based on instinct and trusts her intuition more than her mind. She often receives intel from the world beyond. Joyce is emotional, naturally giving, and has a quiet kind of charisma.
![Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown) stands in a dark, rainy shot.](https://images.prismic.io/netflix-queue/c9b48521-41a7-4532-8529-f4c9e49b0495_Upside+Down_EN-US_ST2_Darkness_3840x2160_Still04.jpg?auto=compress,format&rect=0,0,1919,1919&w=2000&h=2000)
Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown)
The Upside Down: Pisces or, the 12th House
*Fog* The spirit universe, death, the inaccessible.
![Vecna (Jamie Campbell Bower) writhes in front of a fire.](https://images.prismic.io/netflix-queue/bfcc8019-b693-4954-906f-421d249da114_Demogorgon_StrangerThings_StrangerThings4_9_01_37_19_00.jpg?auto=compress,format&rect=0,0,1216,1216&w=2000&h=2000)
Vecna (Jamie Campbell Bower)
The Demogorgon: Aries
Bloodshed above all else. A bloodthirsty demon from the underworld. Need I say more?
