Which Tim Burton Character Are You Based On Your Zodiac Sign?

Tim Burton has been delighting audiences with his macabre magic for three decades. Read on to find out which character you are!

Aries – The Headless Horseman (Sleepy Hollow)

Sleepy Hollow
Paramount Pictures

Aries is the warrior of the zodiac. So they get paired up with the violent Hessian mercenary who loses his head. The cardinal fire sign will appreciate that the sword the horseman wields is imbued with hellfire.

Taurus – Mrs. Lovett (Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street)

Sweeney Todd
DreamWorks Pictures

Taureans are wholesome hedonists who know how to make a good meal. They will appreciate Mrs. Lovett’s penchant for cooking unusual cuisine and her desire for a sweet, romantic life by the sea. Taurus is also ruled by Venus, the planet that governs our romantic inclinations. And Mrs. Lovett is open about her romantic feelings towards Sweeney Todd.

Gemini – Lady Van Tassel (Sleepy Hollow)

Sleepy Hollow
Paramount Pictures

Gemini gets paired with Lady Van Tassel for two reasons. First, Gemini is represented by The Twins, and Lady Van Tassel is a twin. Secondly, the mutable air sign is known to be verbose, and Lady Van Tassel famously has one of the most long winded expository monologues in cinematic history.

Cancer – Edward Scissorhands (Edward Scissorhands)

I’m sure Edward feels like a crab since he has scissors for hands. But that’s not the only reason he’s paired with Cancer the Crab. Cancerians want nothing more than to have a living community, a cozy home, and a safe space, and that’s exactly what Edward wants.

Leo – Ed Wood (Ed Wood)

Ed Wood
Touchstone Pictures

Leos love to entertain. They are quite theatrical in nature. So they get paired up with Ed Wood, the director who was dedicated to making films that would entertain the masses. Though today his films are regarded as “so-bad-they’re-good” films.

Virgo – Ichabod Crane (Sleepy Hollow)

Sleepy Hollow
Paramount Pictures

Virgos are known to be pragmatic and analytical. They are a perfect match for the police constable Ichabod Crane who believes in science over superstition. He is also timid and overly-critical of ignorance like the mutable earth sign.

Libra – Emily (The Corpse Bride)

Corpse Bride
Warner Bros. Pictures

Libras are ruled by Venus, the planet that governs our romantic inclinations. So it only makes sense to pair them with one of the more romantic characters on this list. Libras are also diplomatic, and Emily makes a diplomatic decision at the end of the movie.

Scorpio – Beetlejuice (Beetlejuice)

Warner Bros. Pictures

Scorpio gets paired with the character that is getting the most attention. The fixed water sign gets paired with the bio-exorcist Beetlejuice! Beetlejuice is passionate about what he does and loves to crack crude jokes. He is also a hopeless romantic, like all Scorpios.

Sagittarius – Wednesday Addams (Wednesday)

Wednesday
Netflix

Wednesday Addams is quite temperamental and broody so she could be a Sagittarius. So the Dark Horse of Nevermore with the Dark Horse of the zodiac. Just like the sagely Sagittarius, Wednesday is incredibly intelligent, ambitious, introspective, and knows how to let loose at a party. 

Capricorn – Jack Skellington (The Nightmare Before Christmas)

Touchstone Pictures

Capricorns are charismatic and ambitious. Does that sound like a certain pumpkin king we know? The cardinal earth signs are also natural born leaders. And Jack Skellington is more of a leader in Halloween Town than the mayor is.

Aquarius – Lydia Deetz (Beetlejuice)

Beetlejuice
The Geffen Company

Aquarians are eccentric outsiders who are sometimes seen as strange and unusual. Lydia Deetz herself is strange and unusual. She is also compassionate like the air sign.

Pisces – Ed Bloom (Big Fish)

Big Fish
Columbia Pictures

The fishy title of the film is not the only reason Pisces The Fish gets paired with the main character of this film. Pisces is paired with Ed Bloom because he is an empathetic dreamer who loves to tell tall tales.
