There are a surprising number ofGenshin Impactconstellations that align well with the 12 zodiac signs in Western astrology. Which character are you based on your star sign? Let’s take a look at the characters whose constellations or personality align with our real-world stars.
I assigned characters to star signs primarily based on their in-game constellation shapes. For star signs that don’t have a clear Teyvat counterpart, I picked a character who I thought embodied theassociated personality traits.Genshincharacters also have canon birthdays, but I disregarded these, since we don’t know how Teyvat’s calendar correlates with the stars in our world.
Aries – Dori
Aries is described as “vivacious, enthusiastic, childish, and a bit selfish.” No one in the currentGenshin Impactroster demonstrates these characteristics more than our little gremlin merchantDori. She is a go-getter who built herself a trade empire from the ground up, exemplifying the leadership skills of a true Aries. Her constellation Magicae Lucerna (“magic lamp”) doesn’t have much to do with rams, but I feel she deserves this spot based on personality alone.
Taurus – Itto/Candace
Itto’s constellation is quite literally called Taurus Iracundus, or “angry bull.” He’s about as stubborn as it gets, and though he’s not as materialistic as most Tauruses, Itto fits the description well enough for me to choose him to represent Taurus. Candace is the other half of Taurus, even though her in-game constellation doesn’t match. She’s fiercely protective of her hometown, and a more grounded interpretation of the Taurus personality type.
Gemini – Traveler
No one inGenshin Impacthas a constellation of twins, but Aether and Lumine are twin siblings. Their constellations are Viator and Viatrix, the masculine and feminine words for “traveler.” They are intelligent and restless, always on the move. The main difference between the Travelers and real Geminis is that the Travelers rarely say a word, while Geminis can be quite talkative.
Cancer – Thoma
Thoma’sconstellation is Rubeum Scutum, meaning “red shield.” While that has little to do with crabs, Thoma is dedicated to his family and taking care of his home, which are traits typical of a Cancer. He is compassionate and well-liked as the “fixer” of Inazuma.
Leo – Lyney
Lyneyadores the spotlight, making him a natural Leo. He’s charismatic and charming, with a flair for the dramatic. Lyney’s constellation is Felis Fuscus, or “black cat.” Though Jean has a better-matching constellation in the shape of a lion, Lyney is by far a more typical Leo.
Virgo – Jean
Virgos are the hardworking, strong, detail-oriented matriarchs of society, and Jean fits that bill quite well. She is an impeccable leader, and though her constellation Leo Minor has little to do with a virgin, Jean embodies the spirit of Virgo.
Libra – Ningguang
As a Libra, Ningguang weighs every decision carefully before acting. She aims for fairness in upholding every law and contract. Ningguang also values interpersonal relationships though, as is evidenced by her close ties to Beidou.
Scorpio – Childe
Scorpios are fierce, intense, and deeply curious.Tartaglia “Childe”is just about the fiercest character we have inGenshin Impact, with an insatiable thirst for combat. There are multiple facets to him though, and he can turn from a hardened warrior to a kind older brother as the occasion demands.
Sagittarius – Aloy
Okay, okay, Aloy isn’t technically fromGenshin. She’s a crossover character from theHorizonfranchise. Still, Aloy is a very good example of a Sagittarius. She’s a discoverer, embarking on a journey to find out the truth behind her origins. On top of this, her constellation Nora Fortis is in the shape of a bow and arrow.
Capricorn – Ganyu
Ganyu is a hard-working Capricorn. She is practical, pragmatic, disciplined, and devoted to her millenia-old contract with Rex Lapis. Her constellation Sinae Unicornis depicts a qilin, which in the world of Teyvat sports goat-like horns.
Aquarius – Barbara/Baizhu
Aquarians seek to help others. They are kind and friendly, and often take on a leadership role in their quest to make the world a better place. Both Barbara andBaizhufit this description as well-known healers in their respective cities. In addition, Barbara’s constellation Crater (“cup”) and Baizhu’s constellation Lagenaria (“gourd”) are both vessels for water.
Pisces – Kokomi
Pisces are often in tune with their own emotions as well as those of others.Kokomiexemplifies this ideal by keeping meticulous tabs on her mental state while trying to care for the needs of her people. As the Divine Priestess of Watatsumi Island, Kokomi is a spiritual leader as well as a political one.
