The Classic Novel That Best Fits Each Zodiac’s Personality

TAURUS – GREAT EXPECTATIONS

You have expensive taste Taurus, and even if a mysterious benefactor supplied you with a massive bankroll, you’d still figure out a way to live above your means. The message here is that you need to learn to be proud of your humbler beginnings.

GEMINI – A TALE OF TWO CITIES

On one hand, Gemini, you feel like you never have enough time (like a man headed to the gallows), and on the other hand, you live for the spotlight that comes with a more figurative martyrdom, and take pleasure in a public display of suffering for others. 

CANCER – ANNE OF GREEN GABLES

Like the titular character, you’ve been through the literal ringer, Cancer, but you’ve never let it permanently spoil your outlook on life, or the way you approach others. For every Josie Pye there are a hundred Diana Barrys, and you let the positivity of that fact be your north star.

LEO – THE THREE MUSKETEERS

How could this not be your book, Leo? “One for all, and all for one?” That is literally the name of your weekly Happy Hour Splitwise tab. There is something to be said for finding “your tribe” and the adventure that takes you on that fully encompasses your personality.

VIRGO – PRIDE AND PREJUDICE

You’re literally right, even when you are very, very wrong, Virgo. And it’s no coincidence that a book where the main character is the always smartest person in every room is absolutely and without a doubt made for you.

LIBRA – JANE EYRE

You see both sides to every story, Libra. Has he been keeping his wife captive in the attic while trying to seduce you into bigamy? Sureeee. But! Does he also really truly love you despite your lack of family and prospects. YES! See, it’s not as terrible as it looks, and you stand by your morals. Definitely.

SCORPIO – WUTHERING HEIGHTS

Abused orphan grows up and drives his abuser to vice, depravity, alcoholism, and ruin. Also climbs into the grave of his dead girlfriend whose ghost haunts everyone but him. This book could not belong to anyone else but you Scorpio, and we all know I don’t need to explain why.

SAGITTARIUS – AROUND THE WORLD IN 80 DAYS

Sure, Phileas Fogg did not have TSA pre-check or Global Entry, but he did spend a ton of money and effort on a bet just to prove a point, and no one else has that kind of cojones except a Saggy.

CAPRICORN – BLACK BEAUTY

You will work for people with money. For people without money. For people who treat you well, and people who work you to the bone. But the one thing in life that you can always count on, Capricorn, is that you will be working.

AQUARIUS – LES MISERABLES

You talk about the immorality of sending someone to jail for stealing bread at least once a year, and very much look to the French as a legitimate role model for economic justice.

PISCES – THE TIME MACHINE

This book is trippy and way ahead of it’s time, just like you are Pisces. You love pivoting from daydreams with sweet, innocent vibes like the Eloi into something more dark, twisted, and animalistic like the Morlocks. The duality represents the vastness of your imagination.

ARIES – THE ILIAD

There is literally nothing you would’t do out of loyalty, Aries. But you also understand razing the literal ground after someone steals your spouse, or your friend’s spouse. It doesn’t take much to pull you into a conflict.
