Since we are still in Virgo season, let’s honor one of the most famous Virgos of all time, Stephen King! Read on to find out which King film adaptation you should watch based on your sign!
Aries – Firestarter
There is a fine line between an adorably cute bundle of energy and a certified pyromaniac. And Aries dances on that line. Which is why I had no choice but to pair them with the Drew Barrymore classic Firestarter. I paired the cardinal fire sign with this film purely because I know every Aries wishes they could set things on fire with their mind.
Taurus – Misery
Everyone has a mom-friend. Now imagine if that mom-friend was… incredibly unhinged. Annie Wilkes is the quintessential unhinged mom-friend! You can play this movie to cheer up your Taurus mom-friends when they are feeling under appreciated. You should always appreciate your Taurus mom-friends… or they might burn your manuscript.
Gemini – The Shining
Geminis are so eloquent and literarily gifted. Surely, it won’t be too difficult to pair them with a Stephen King adaptation about a writer. Too bad there are SO MANY Stephen King stories about writers. So, I decided to pair Gemini with one of the greatest cinematic King adaptations of all time, The Shining. The mutable air sign will relate to Jack’s writing process as well as his erratic nature.
Cancer – Stand By Me
Cancerians will enjoy watching a movie about a group of friends whose friendship only grows stronger over the course of an adventure where they travel through the forest in search of a dead body. As the movie progresses, the cardinal water sign will appreciate the strong and compassionate adults that the boys grow up to be.
Leo – Sleepwalkers
Leos will like Sleepwalkers because the main antagonists are giant cats… sort of. They are like evil cat demons…who hate actual cats? So, they’re self-hating cats, I guess. I won’t pretend like I can follow Stephen King’s logic. But Leos will also like this movie because all of the main characters are incredibly attractive. Even when their faces do the weird were-cat thing.
Virgo – Carrie
Virgo will feel vindicated as they watch an overly-anxious girl get revenge on her tormentors by coming into her own power. The Sissy Spacek version is the most iconic. But you may also enjoy the Chloë Grace Moretz version or the Angela Bettis version that everyone forgets about for some reason.
Libra – It
I know what you’re thinking. “How can a story about a killer clown appeal to peaceful Libra?” I’m so glad you asked. So it’s explained better in the more recent films rather than the miniseries. But It, the evil entity that sucks people into its Deadlights, is forever locked in a battle of good vs. evil with a giant benevolent turtle named Maturin who puked the universe into existence. The cardinal air sign will appreciate the overarching theme of finding a balance between good and evil.
Scorpio – Gerald’s Game
This is one of Stephen King’s thrillers that everyone thought would never get a screen adaptation. But Netflix decided to take that bet and began streaming it in 2017. Broody Scorpio will enjoy the sensual and cerebral nature of the story as well as the main character’s psychological journey.
Sagittarius – Children Of The Corn
Sagittarians are known to be one of the most philosophical signs in the zodiac. So they tend to be attracted to metaphysical and even religious studies. So this film, about a cult of zealous children who worships “he who walks behind the rows,” will have them on the edge of their seats.
Capricorn – The Stand
If Capricorns wanted to lead the world into ruin after an apocalyptic catastrophe, all while psychically seducing that lady who was in Just Shoot Me, they would be charismatic enough to do so. I think Capricorns will enjoy The Stand miniseries, as long as they don’t take notes while watching it.

Aquarius – Tommyknockers
Last night and the night before, tommyknockers tommyknockers, knocking on my door! Aquarians are known to be a little out of this world, so they love any film about aliens. They are also known to be exceptionally bright and innovative so they will be fascinated with the story of a town who gains remarkable insight and abilities after coming into contact with alien technology.

Pisces – The Green Mile
Pisces is one of the most empathetic signs in the zodiac. So naturally I had to pair them with possibly one of the most empathetic and sympathetic characters in the Stephen King universe, John Coffey. Pisces will relate to Coffey’s ability to take and transfer pain and illnesses. They will also relate to John Coffey’s speech that ends with “I’m tired of people being ugly to each other.”
