Read on to discover which Outer Banks character resembles your zodiac sign the most.

Aries: JJ Maybank

Everything from JJ’s impulsiveness and fiery temper to his bold moves make him an obvious Aries. This Mars-ruled sign is known for being audacious, headstrong and a natural-born leader, and JJ lives for the adrenaline rush. He also jumps into situations without thinking things through, which perfectly embodies Aries’ warrior spirit.

Taurus: Topper Thornton

Also known as the “King of the Kooks,” Topper’s resistance to change and deep attachment to Sarah reflects the shadow side of this Venus-ruled sign. Stubborn and privileged, he is also determined to live up to his wealthy lifestyle in the Outer Banks, resembling this Earth sign’s desire for stability and pleasure.

Gemini: Barry

Adaptable and quick-witted, Barry’s innate ability to navigate different schemes (not to mention manipulating and deceiving others for payment) resembles this Mercury-ruled sign’s trickster energy. Barry’s shifting alliances and swift moves also mirror Gemini’s innate duality, keeping people guessing about his true intentions.

Cancer: Big John Routledge

Big John’s emotional connection to his son and relentless pursuit of treasure reflects Cancer’s tenacious and protective nature. This Water sign is driven by family, and Big John’s connection to inheritances and generational themes reflects this Moon-ruled sign’s archetype. He’s also deeply attached to the past, which is classic for Cancerians.

Leo: Sarah Cameron

Despite not being too fond of where she comes from, Sarah was initially perceived as being the “Princess of the Kooks.” Everything from her regal legacy and natural charisma resonates with this Fire sign. She’s also passionate and fiercely loyal, particularly regarding her love for John B, which aligns perfectly with her lioness energy.

Virgo: Ward Cameron

Strategic and methodical, Ward’s meticulous nature and obsession with control resemble this Mercury-ruled sign’s dutiful nature and keen attention to detail. This Earth sign is practical and often considered a perfectionist, traits Cameron showcases in his calculated schemes to protect his family name.

Libra: Rose Cameron

In addition to being Ward’s “trophy wife,” Rose’s love for beauty, luxury and all things aesthetically pleasing resembles this Air sign’s Venusian essence and perpetual desire for harmony. She also does her best to keep the peace in the Cameron household, which reflects Libra’s justice-seeking nature. 

Scorpio: Rafe Cameron

Fun fact: actor Drew Starkey is a Scorpio. This is no coincidence, as he perfectly depicts this Water sign’s intense and brooding personality. Governed by shadowy Pluto, Scorpios are known for their depth and intense emotionality, which is evident considering Rafe’s dark and dangerous persona. The toxicity stemming from his loyalty towards his family is also very Plutonian.

Sagittarius: John B Routledge

On an eternal quest of self-discovery, John B’s adventurous and thrill-seeking nature fits perfectly with this nomadic Fire sign. Everything from his desire for freedom and exploration reflects this Jupiter-ruled sign’s idealism and contagious optimism.

Capricorn: Pope Heyward

Responsible and hardworking, Pope’s character is a textbook Capricorn. This is especially true when considering the connection of hardship he shares with his father while tirelessly working alongside him, which is very Saturnian. He is also the group’s most “responsible” one, often left with no choice but to deal with the consequences.

Aquarius: Kiara Carrera

Kiara is naturally rebellious and independent, which rings true to the essence of Aquarius. This Air sign is also known for its humanitarian nature, and Kiara’s deep love for the environment and activism aligns perfectly with Aquarius’ desire for change and progression. Her nonconformist attitude and ability to stand apart from the crowd also embody this Uranus-ruled sign’s unique individuality.

Pisces: Cleo Anderson

Fluid and naturally in tune with her surroundings, Cleo transcends the boundaries in place and roots for the underdog, which aligns perfectly with the energy of Pisces. This Water sign is known for its dreamy persona and powerful empathy, and Cleo’s ability to keep an open mind (despite the repercussions that may come with it) reflects Pisces’ all-encompassing perspective.
