The Handmaid’s Tale Character, According to Astrology
Written by Margaret Atwood, The Handmaid’s Tale is a fictional tale of an aggressively religious totalitarian political movement overtaking the United States of America. As democracy falls, the Republic of Gilead is born. Gilead’s unique patriarchal society is primarily built upon record-low birth rates and infertility, which is countered by highly conservative policies policing reproductive rights and creating handmaids. Although seemingly revered, handmaids are forced into surrogacy and are held captive by those in government who are known as the commanders. The Handmaid’s Tale follows June Osborne’s plight as a handmaid.
Sound familiar? It’s undeniable that the U.S.A.’s political atmosphere has an eerily similar vibe to The Handmaid’s Tale. Some have even gone so far as to say that the flashbacks throughout the series align with the first few months of 2025. Upcoming cosmic transits also suggest that the U.S. is overdue for a revolution between Uranus in Gemini, Pluto in Aquarius, and Saturn in Aries. Uranus in Gemini will result in abrupt changes in communication, which may impact policies and ideologies. Pluto in Aquarius will continue revolutionizing the greater community, calling for people to wake up and do something if they’re not happy. Meanwhile, Saturn in Aries will eventually rebuke higher authorities and take matters into one’s hands. Pay attention to what unfolds for the American collective this summer, since the cosmic energy might produce similar themes that resonate with The Handmaid’s Tale.

Your The Handmaid’s Tale Character, Based on Your Zodiac Sign
Keep reading, and look for your Sun, Moon, and Rising signs.
Aries: You’re Esther Keyes
Despite barely being a teenager, Esther Keyes embraces Aries’ bright and forceful energy. Esther exudes an unexpected well of strength and willpower. As a wife to an elderly commander, Esther has had to survive horrific abuse at the hands of her spouse and Guardians. Instead of letting this deter her, Esther’s righteous rage gives her the power to persevere. Her Aries spirit gives off an intimidating yet childlike aura, one to be respected but also feared. While Gilead dealt Esther a heart-wrenching sentence for her combativeness, there’s no doubt that her confidence and wrath will propel her forward.
Taurus: You’re Luke Bankole
True to his unwavering Taurus spirit, Luke Bankole never loses faith that his wife June, and daughter, Hannah, will find him one day. Luke’s most commendable attributes are his Taurean loyalty and steadfastness. Despite taking refuge alone for many years in Canada, Luke’s hope never wavers. Luke’s innate stubbornness rears when he’s deliberately slow to act. He also initially struggles with taking care of Nicole, June’s daughter. But Luke’s lovable grounded Taurus nature persists. He eventually welcomes everyone home with open arms, providing safety and comfort in true Taurus fashion. Like Taurus, Luke is solid.

Gemini: You’re Commander Nick Blaine
Living a double life isn’t easy, especially as a commander in Gilead. Commander Nick Blaine’s Gemini-like disposition helps him adapt to whatever situation he’s in. Nick wears many hats and dawns many faces, since his mutability helps him work behind enemy lines. Gemini’s impressive sociability and brilliance allow Nick to understand the best protocol in any high-risk situation, from having a clandestine affair with a handmaid to helping the fight against Gilead. Can Nick maintain his facade? Only time will tell, as he evolves throughout the sixth and final season.
Cancer: You’re Aunt Lydia
Unfortunately, Aunt Lydia represents the dark side of Cancer. Her inner crab’s shrewdness gives Aunt Lydia a manipulative and clannish personality. She evokes Cancer’s leadership qualities by assisting the Gileadean government with reforming fertile women into handmaids. Because of her role, Aunt Lyda has a matriarchal influence. However, Aunt Lydia is far from being motherly. Aunt Lydia’s Cancerian moodiness often causes her to be reactive, which is usually punctuated with a jab by her cattle prod. Aunt Lydia’s hypersensitivity initially helped her become a powerful figurehead, but it will likely be her downfall.

Leo: You’re Commander Fred Waterford
Pride and arrogance are Leo’s downfall, which is evident with Commander Fred Waterford. Commander Waterford initially exudes a friendlier, warmer leonine energy. He appears trustworthy, but Commander Waterford’s ego eventually drives his actions. Leo’s proud and patronizing mannerisms play out in Commander Waterford’s relationships with his wife, Serena Joy, and his handmaid, June. He tries to come across as a regal, kindly personality, which quickly falls short when his vanity creates unnecessary drama. While Commander Waterford’s hubris was difficult to watch, it eventually led to his demise.
Virgo: You’re Commander Joseph Lawrence
Virgo is hailed for their unbeatable intelligence, attention to detail, and wit, which is why Commander Lawrence resonates with this earth sign. Commander Lawrence is a controversial character, since he appears to mean well while working behind enemy lines. Although Commander Lawrence puts on a strong Virgoan front with his intellect and quips, he secretly struggles. Commander Lawrence’s downfall is his Virgoan brain, because he helped Gilead materialize. As time went on, Commander Lawrence’s anxiety eventually implores him to help fight the regime he created.
Libra: You’re Agent Mark Tuello
Libra, what’s it like playing both sides of the fence? Agent Mark Tuello may have a clue. As an American refugee living in Canada, Mark helps Gilead refugees. For the most part, Mark is a charming and kind personality. His Libran energy helps him remain balanced and fair in high-stress situations. However, Mark’s romantic Libran personality creates a conflict of interest when he meets Serena Joy. Mark’s alleged crush on Serena Joy causes him to feel indecisive, which weakens his repertoire with June. Thankfully, Mark tips the scales to regain harmony and balance.

Scorpio: You’re June Osborne
Scorpios are known to overcome immense trauma and come out better than who they were before. June Osborne’s personality and energy resonate with Scorpio’s determination and willpower. No other handmaid is as shrewd and clever as June is. She uses her ability to build intimacy to her advantage, which helps June not only escape, but help others escape Gilead as well. June’s Scorpionic personality allows her to transmute pain, powerlessness, and despair into indomitable strength. Although June has begun to lean into Scorpio’s obsessiveness and paranoia, she still beats all odds like a true phoenix rising from the ashes.

Sagittarius: You’re Moira Strand
Boisterous, opinionated, and excitable, Sagittarius’ energy resonates with Moira’s personality. Moira is wildly independent and strong-willed no matter what Gilead does to break her down. Her indomitable Sagittarius spirit isn’t easily broken down. As a Sagittarius, Moira is guided by her moral compass, belief systems, and code of ethics. She never strays in her belief, since Moira knows what’s worth fighting for. Her bravery inspires freedom, which helps other handmaids, like her best friend June, fight against Gilead’s oppressive society.
Capricorn: You’re Serena Joy Waterford
Calculated, conservative, and authoritative are but a few ways to describe a Capricorn like Serena Joy. Only a cunning Capricorn would find a way to turn long-term goals into a full-fledged country. Despite being the one to make Gilead what it is, Serena Joy quickly loses all authority in Gilead. She tries to appear stoic and respectful. However, Serena Joy still finds ways to be influential in a world where her Capricornian command is limited. Serene Joy usually invokes her Capricornian cruelty, but perhaps this goat will assume responsibility for the error of her ways throughout season six.

Aquarius: You’re Dr. Emily Malek
There’s nobody quite like Aquarius, which is why Emily aligns with this Uranian air sign. Her Aquarian brilliance made her a professor in a previous life and reinforced her rebellious streak as a handmaid. Emily’s cleverness allows her to think of original and inventive acts of rebellion, such as driving a stolen car. Although Emily is outcasted and severely punished for being a maverick, she never lets Gilead dim her revolutionary energy. Emily’s Aquarian nature inspires progressiveness and fellowship with other handmaids helps her prevail against Gilead’s zealotry.
Pisces: You’re Janine Lindo
Janine has the sweetest, if most delusional, energy of all the handmaids trapped in Gilead. Janine’s Piscean nature allows her to navigate the horrors of Gilead by escaping to another world of her own making. Pisces is subjected to projections, and Janine is no exception. Her Piscean personality is vulnerable, so she’s the first one molded into what Gilead wants in a handmaid. Her meekness and sensitivity eventually lead to immense confusion. Janine arguably suffers more than most, but this never breaks her compassion and empathy. If anything, Janine continues embodying Pisces’ genuine hope, gentleness, and unconditional love.
