Ryan Murphy’s Glee was one of those shows that, for a time, at least, was a cultural phenomenon. It demonstrated that the genre of the musical was not only alive and well, but also that it could be adapted to fit into a serialized television series about a bunch of teens in a glee club. There was something infectiously optimistic about it, and the characters, while at times frustrating, were nevertheless fundamentally good people who wanted to make it in the world.
These young men and women are especially fascinating (and have surprising depth) when considered through the lens of the zodiac.
12 Aries - Sue
Sue Sylvester is one of the most interesting characters in the entire series. Part of this, no doubt, stems from the inimitable performance of Jane Lynch, but it also has to do with her relentless ambition.
There’s no question that she is one of the main antagonists of the entire series, but the viewer can’t help but find her impossible to look away from, and her constant scheming against the glee club (and her relentless ambition) provides both dramatic excitement and comic relief.
11 Taurus - Finn
This is a show that knows how to create characters that can be both endearing and infuriating in equal measure, and few characters are as exemplary in this regard as Finn.
While he’s a lovable guy, and while he is certainly very loyal to those that he loves (including, of course, Rachel), he can also be infuriatingly stubborn sometimes, and this leads him to take some actions and to say some things that he probably would have been better off avoiding.
10 Gemini - Emma
Emma is, of course, Will’s primary love interest for much of the series, and the woman that he clearly wanted to be with. Unfortunately for him, she definitely has all of the traits of a Gemini.
She is very sweet and charismatic, but she has that fundamental instability of character that is a signature of this air sign, which means that she ends up hurting Will far too often, mostly because she is focused on her own needs more than anything else.
9 Cancer - Mercedes
Even in a show noted for its vocal talents, Mercedes managed to stand out. She had one of the most powerful voices in the glee club, and there were times when she was far and away the best singer.
As a Cancer, she was very loyal to her friends, but she also tended to have another Cancer trait, namely a tendency to be more than a little moody, and there were also a few times when she could be a little self-centered.
8 Leo - Blaine
Though he wasn’t a member of the original cast, from the moment that he appeared, Blaine cast a spell, both over Kurt and the audience. He has a powerful charm that is one of the key aspects of the Leo personality, and it’s absolutely impossible to avoid liking him.
It certainly helped that he was also a good boyfriend for Kurt, and the fact that they actually managed to end up together was one of the brighter things about the later seasons of the show.
7 Virgo - Rachel
Anyone who has seen even a single episode of the series knows that Rachel is one of the most driven and ambitious characters in the show. She has dreams of making it big, and she isn’t going to let anything stand in her way.
Because of this, she tends to have that habit of being a little sanctimonious and obnoxious, which is a bit of a character flaw for most Virgos. Nevertheless, she’s still a character that the audience is supposed to cheer for.
6 Libra - Artie
Artie was one of the more endearing members of the cast, in part because he brought sensitivity and nuance to the part of a character with a disability (though obviously there were problems with the fact that an able-bodied actor played this part).
As a Libra, Artie also brought a sense of balance to the cast, since he didn’t often indulge in the sort of large personality hijinx as some of the other, more prominent characters.
5 Scorpio - Santana
Santana was, without doubt, one of the most flamboyant characters on the show. She had that edginess that is always a part of the Scorpio personality.
In addition, it was very refreshing to see a character that was both Latina and a member of the LGBTQ+ represented on screen in such a compelling and richly textured fashion. Her storylines remain some of the most compelling and touching that the show ever produced.
4 Sagittarius - Puck
Like Santana, Puck always seemed to have a bit of an edge about him. His life was a troubled one, and he often tended to project that inner turmoil onto others.
As a Sagittarius, he tended to burn with a powerful flame, though there were several instances during the course of the show where he was able to show others that there was a softer, more tender side of his personality (though these were, it has to be said, somewhat rare).
3 Capricorn - Will
As the leader of the glee club, Will was one of the show’s anchors. In fact, he was the one person that every member of the glee club knew that they could come to if they needed help, and for that reason, he still endures as one of the series’ best creations.
As a Capricorn, Will is a very stable sort of person, one who will more often let logic and reason rule his actions, rather than giving in to the instability of emotions.
2 Aquarius - Brittany
Aquarians have a well-deserved reputation for being one of the more enigmatic signs in the zodiac. They seem to always be holding some aspect of themselves back from even their closest friends. This was certainly the case with Brittany who, throughout her time on the show, always remained something of a mystery.
However, it was precisely the fact that she was so strange (and sometimes otherworldly) that made her such an interesting character.
1 Pisces - Kurt
It would have been very easy to paint Kurt as the stereotypically gay character, but luckily the show goes to great lengths to give him a great deal of depth and complexity.
As a Pisces, there are many hidden layers to his personality, though it has to be said that Kurt is also a deeply sensitive character, and his relationships - with his friends, his father, and his boyfriend, Blaine - are some of the most important aspects of his life.
