Astrology, which is rooted in the idea that the movements of the stars and planets can both predict and influence everything from personality traits to daily events, has been studied for literally thousands of years. And while there is still debate about whether astrology really started in China, Egypt, Greece, or ancient Mesopotamia, there is no debate about the fact that people still love to use birth charts and calendars to learn about the 12 zodiac signs and the personality quirks that are said to go with them.
As with any practice that isn't exactly rooted in science, there are always some folks who roll their eyes when people take astrology too seriously. On the flip side, there are also people who go hard into birth charts and star maps and swear that they would never, ever date a Scorpio. We're not going to comment on whether we think astrology is actually accurate, but we'll note that we think it can be all in good fun (though we don't advise actually making major life choices based on an Instagram horoscope!).
We've decided to dive in to the world of proud Leos, indecisive Geminis, and stubborn Tauruses by profiling the male and female celebrities who seem to best live up to their zodiac sign. Read on to see which celebs are the real stars of the astrology world.
Aries: Mariah Carey
According to Astrology.com, people who identify as Aries (March 21-April 19) are charismatic fire signs who love the spotlight, but are also not the best team players. That sounds a lot like a recipe for becoming a pop diva like Mariah Carey.
Aries: Robert Downey Jr.

Robert Downey Jr. has that Aries charisma and sense of playfulness for days. But he's also had struggles in the past — including multiple arrests and a stint in prison — that suggest he might also be a prime example of the Aries tendency to leap before they look.
Taurus: Dwayne Johnson
It isn't surprising that a man who has the nickname of "The Rock" is a Taurus. This sign, for people born April 20-May 20, is all about stability and dependability. They like routine (and clearly Dwayne Johnson is committed to his workout routine) and they are not easy to push around. Yep, Dwayne checks all those boxes in our book.
Taurus: Queen Elizabeth

According to some, the Taurus is known to play the "long game in both professional and romantic pursuits" while being both resilient and committed to having all the best creature comforts. We think England's Queen Elizabeth, who has been on the throne for more than 70 years and who was married for 73 years, sure fits that bill!
Gemini: Angelina Jolie

A Gemini does not want to be bored — ever. People born between May 21 and June 20 are said to be "spontaneous, playful, and adorably erratic" and "driven by insatiable curiosity," which often results in them having multiple passions. Angelina Jolie, who's an actress, activist, and mom, sure fits that bill.
Gemini: Kanye West

Let's see, do the traits of a Gemini as described by Astrology.com sound like the brash Kanye West? According to the site, Geminis "love to talk," are never boring, and have "a keen instinct for what buttons to push when trying to elicit a reaction from you." Yep, sounds like the sometimes frustrating but never boring Ye!
Cancer: Khloé Kardashian
Cancers (born June 21-July 22) are known as water signs who are emotional and empathetic, like stability, and hate surprises. We suspect that Cancer queen Khloé Kardashian feels like she has had more than enough romantic surprises in her life (not all surprises are good surprises) and wouldn't mind some stability in her personal life after all her high-profile heartbreaks.
Cancer: Tom Hanks

People who are Cancers are supposed to care deeply about the relationships in their life and, according to Allure, "Cancers attract friends and lovers through their loyalty, commitment, and emotional depth." Hollywood A-lister Tom Hanks, who has been married to Rita Wilson for almost 35 years, sure fits that bill.
Leo: Jennifer Lopez
We love a Leo — and that's a good thing, because Leos love to be loved. This sign, for those born July 23 through August 22, is all about being the center of attention. Leos are passionate, dramatic, and crave the spotlight. They also work hard to get there, just like Jennifer Lopez.
Leo: Barack Obama

Do Leos sometimes have a bit of an ego? Well, yes. But that ego goes with a sense of confidence, determination, and ambition to be successful. We'd argue that nobody can become president of the United States without having some amount of ego plus that desire to be successful, just like Barack Obama.
Virgo: Beyoncé
Who runs the world? Well, according to ultimate Virgo Beyoncé, the answer to that question is "girls." We don't disagree (who could disagree with the Queen B?), but we'd also suggest that it could be Virgos who run the world. This sign is all about getting things done and being a little bit of a perfectionist along the way, just like Beyoncé herself.
Virgo: Prince Harry
According to Costarastrology.com, Virgos (born August 23-September 22) "need to feel like they're being useful. They feel productive by contributing to something larger than themselves. This is how they derive self-worth. In order to feel like they have value, they need to feel needed." That is so very Prince Harry!

Libra: Simon Cowell
The symbol for Libras (September 23-October 22) is a scale, which represents the fact that this air sign loves to judge. Given that Simon Cowell has literally made an entire career out of judging talent on reality TV shows, this makes him a perfect Libra.
Libra: Kim Kardashian
It is said that Libras are ruled by the planet of Venus, which is associated with a love of money, beauty, and love itself. Hmm, we think there is an argument to be made here that the thrice-married, always glam, and definitely money-loving Kim Kardashian makes the most sense as the ultimate female Libra.
Scorpio: Lisa Bonet
Scorpio season runs during the spooky season of the year, October 23 to November 21, which might explain why Scorpios are sometimes considered to be the most mysterious of the zodiac signs. They are also supposed to be one of the sexier signs, too, so we think the ex-wife of both Jason Momoa and Lenny Kravitz fits that bill. She does have a sensual and slightly mysterious vibe, right?
Scorpio: Adam Driver

Scorpio energy and appeal can be kind of enigmatic. Scorpios draw people in by being intuitive and emotionally attuned, even as they seem a little unknowable to people outside their inner circle. Adam Driver has that vibe and is appealing even as he seems to keep fame at a bit of a distance.
Sagittarius: Miley Cyrus
The Sagittarius vibe can be chaotic, creative, impulsive, and prone to change. Miley Cyrus, who was born on November 23, which is right at the start of the Sagittarius season (November 22-December 21), brings that big Sag energy wherever she goes.
Sagittarius: Jay-Z
Because people who are under the Sagittarius sign are natural risk-takers, they can end up being highly successful in business and creative pursuits. Jay-Z, who got famous in the creative realm as a rapper but who has since become a majorly successful investor and business owner, is a great example.
Capricorn: Michelle Obama
Michelle Obama's story is a uniquely Capricorn story. She started from humble roots but used her Capricorn traits of resilience, determination, and ability to withstand adversity to become a lawyer, first lady, author, and one of the most admired women in the world.
Capricorn: John Legend
We all know that John Legend (born during the Capricorn season of December 22-January 19) is a talented singer and perfect sidekick for Chrissy Teigen. But many might not realize that he's an incredibly smart guy who skipped multiple grades, graduated high school at the top of his class at only 16 years old, and was accepted to multiple Ivy League colleges. He's been working hard, like a real Capricorn, for years.
Aquarius: Harry Styles

The Aquarius is an air sign and as described by Allure, people with this sign are "undoubtedly the most innovative, progressive, rebellious, and humanitarian. And while Aquarius can often be found planning a revolution or proudly flaunting their funky fashion sensibility, they also have an often overlooked sensitive side that requires appreciation, support, and love." Is that Harry Styles? Yep!
Aquarius: Oprah Winfrey
People who are born during the Aquarius section of the calendar (January 20-February 18) are obsessed with understanding interpersonal relationships and can sometimes be seen as being almost larger-than-life while still having an impulse toward humanitarian work. Oprah Winfrey has made a whole career out of connecting with people, which is what makes her a great interviewer and a great Aquarius.
Pisces: Drew Barrymore
With no disrespect to the other signs, Pisces (February 19-March 20) might just be the most creative people. Pisces like Drew Barrymore are said to be sensitive, psychic, empathetic, and equally split between real life and living in a fantasy world. Sounds like a perfect combo for Drew, who has been acting her whole life.
Pisces: Adam Levine
In addition to being super creative and emotional, Pisces like Adam Levine also like to explore their spiritual sides. Adam, who is into yoga, fits that bill, and all of those tattoos show that he's endlessly inspired to think of life — and his body — as a blank canvas for creation.
