Earth signsmay have been the brains in high school like Brian Johnson whileWater signswere likely the princess, just like Claire Standish.

Aries: Brian’s Mother

Brian’s mother is most likeAries. In the film, Mesa notes she is “direct, forceful and confrontational” like the zodiac sign, and has a “tough love approach when she challenges Brian about his grades and lectures him about his lack of discipline in the car.”

Mesa adds that Brian’s mother is also “not afraid to call out Brian for his perceived shortcomings, demanding that he push harder, reflecting this Fire sign’s daring and assertive personality.”

Taurus: Andrew’s Father

Gemini: Brian’s Little Sister

LikeGemini, Brian’s little sister is “curious” and has a “talkative nature.”

“This Air sign is known for being witty and often mischievous, and Brian’s sister has no problem fueling the fire,” Mesa says. She teases Brian in the car, mimicking back what their mother says about his grades.

Cancer: Claire Standish “The Princess”

LikeCancerplacements, Claire is “emotional, sensitive and often seeks approval from others.”

“Throughout the film, Claire’s main goal is to fit in as one of the most popular girls in high school,” Mesa explains. “She starts the day as a stereotypical ‘princess,’ concerned with her social status, but through her interactions with the group, her vulnerability begins to emerge.”

Leo: Richard Vernon

As the high school principal, Mesa says “Richard Vernon resembles everything fromLeo’s showmanship to its shadow side, which is arrogance and pride.”

Virgo: Brian Johnson “The Brain”

LikeVirgos, Brian is intellectual, detail-oriented and can often be critical of himself.

Mesa says, “We witness his anxiety about his grades and his need to be perfect in the eyes of others, especially his parents throughout the film. Similar to this Mercury-ruled sign, he’s also in constant worry, overthinking and trying to solve everyone’s problems. He even goes as far as writing the essay Vernon assigned on behalf of the group.”

Libra: Claire’s Father

In the film, Mesa explains that Claire’s father “epitomizesLibra’s desire to please others and keep the peace, even if it means telling lies or avoiding conflict entirely.”

Scorpio: John Bender “The Criminal”

Bender is considered the quintessential “bad boy,” but underneath it all, he’s got plenty of passion and emotional depth.

“Much likeScorpio, he challenges the others to confront their issues and breaks down their walls, which is very fitting for this Water sign as it is known to dig deep into uncomfortable truths,” Mesa explains. “The intensity, mystery and transformation surrounding this Pluto-ruled sign fit Bender’s character perfectly; it’s something you see firsthand when he opens up about his troubled home life, revealing a vulnerability that surprises the others.”

Sagittarius: Carl the Janitor

In the film, Carl is the laid-back, wise janitor who considers himself the eyes and ears of the high school. Mesa says he embodies “Sagittarius’ ability to take a big-picture view and offer insights that others may overlook.”

“Much like this Fire sign, Carl has experience and knowledge,” she continues. “He even admits to going through the students’ lockers and reading trashed notes they’ve secretly written to each other.”

Capricorn: Andrew Clark

She adds that “the paternal energy is pivotal for Capricorns (for better or worse), and this turns out to be the root of Andrew’s repressed rage.”

Aquarius: The Narrator

The film is narrated through Brian’s letter and perfectly embodiesAquarius’ intellectual and detached perspective.

“The narrator doesn’t solely focus on one character’s experience but instead provides context with an unconventional view of how a group of individuals — despite their differences — can find common ground,” Mesa says. “Aquarius is known for humanitarian ways, resembling how the narrator describes the group as a whole.”

Pisces: Allison Reynolds

“Her tendency to escape into her fantasy world is no exception, but Allison’s emotional complexity is highlighted once she opens up about her lonely life at home and admits her parents ignore her,” Mesa says. “She also owns up to having had nothing better to do than to attend Saturday detention.”
