Which Friends Character Best Describes You Based On Your Zodiac?
Since Netflix rolled out the classic “One with the… Everything Worth Living For” series Friends, binge-watching a classic 90s television show has never felt so justified. This piece of American classic cinema isn't just a show; it's a lifestyle. Cue group couch jumping here. Spawning popular haircuts that would grace the pages of tabloids for years to come, Friends was much more than a group of attractive individuals working out their smelly cat issues on a nearby fountain couch; it was an educational experience. Women learned how to date-breakup-and-repeat better than ever before. Men learned how to dish out quippy one-liners faster than you can say Chandler Bing!

No kidding. Well, lots of kidding. And crying. And hugging. And just bein' friends. Find out which Friends character best describes you based on your zodiac sign.
12 ARIES - Janice Hosenstein aka Chandler's Girlfriend
Babies of the Zodiac, Aries likes attention - a lot of it. By hook or by crook (look up what that means) Aries will do whatever or whoever it takes to get a drink around here. Sometimes that means using up an entire can of hairspray on your Jersey bouffant and speaking in a high-pitched nasally tone reminiscent of Fran Drescher in The Nanny. (Highest rated show in Russia, p.s.) That type of outlandish behavior is exactly what Janice Hosenstein became famous for as Chandler Bing's girlfriend on Friends. She managed to keep his attention long enough to become a series regular, riding the waves of changing hairstyles among the rest of the cast. Her black bouffant staying right in one place. Just like an Aries. Defiant and stubborn but undeniably present.
11 TAURUS - Ross Geller
Oh, Ross. When will you learn? Love is not the ideal fairytale of dinosaur digs and Mr. Rogers sweaters you so desperately cling to. It is full of sadness rife with shenanigans and mistakes like marrying a lesbian and getting uneven spray tans. While his relationship with leading lady Rachel Green aka Jennifer Aniston aka the other half of RIP Brad Pitt & Jennifer Aniston (if you don't know you are clearly an alien), Ross is a hopeless romantic always on the verge of a slumpy breakup that usually involves food. Undoubtedly, Ross regains his confidence and has at it again, a typical Taurean trait. The bull never quite seems to give up on his dreams, even when they're making the love of his life fall in love with him over and over and over again (rainfall included.)
10 GEMINI - Phoebe Buffay
Goofy, playful, and also, a bit nuts. Geminis are known to have lots of loopy opinions on a smattering of wacky topics - like smelly cats. “Why not write a song about it?” is something totally in the realm of possibility for a Gemini currently wearing tie-dyed scrunchies they made themselves. While they're at it, why not perform live at the local coffee shop where everyone or noone you know is going to see you, because who cares? You're a self-employed masseuse with nothing to lose and a marvelous knack for charming the pants off total strangers while keeping your friends off balance with your quirky homespun offbeat brilliance. You are Phoebe Buffay. People might especially tune in to find out what channel your special brand of wackiness is broadcasting today.
9 CANCER - Chandler Bing
Sensitive, caring, AND funny. With a name like Chandler Bing, you can bet your punchbowl that this guy has all the punchlines. These words delightfully describe your typical moon-ruled Cancers. Like the waxing and waning of the man in the moon, Cancers experience several modes of incarnate humor or disdain, depending on their mood, which is sure to dictate the flavor of the evening. They do like food! Enter Monica. Dating a chef is the perfect choice for these food-lovers and fair-haired lovers at that. Cancers tend to enjoy dark, exotic looking mates like a Monica, with dark hair, dark eyes, and bright red lips to let you know that food and dessert are on their way. Not after a Cancer has earned his/her keep by playing the jester to their adoring mate.
8 LEO - Joey Tribbiani
From his impeccably groomed appearance to his over the top bravado, Joey Tribbiani is a classic male Leo. Give this guy a mirror and he might just as well have met his soulmate. As an actor and the star of his own future show, Joey is determined to let the world know just how much he shines on stage and backstage, if you catch my drift, which I think you do, so I won't make it gross. Leos have no problem being the center of attention and do everything they can in their power to let it be known that he or she are respective Kings or Queens of the Jungle, be it urban or floral. The Lion is known to pout, purr or roar at even the slightest of slights, imagined or real. Everything for this Zodiac Royal is part of a Shakespearean play.
7 VIRGO - Monica Geller
Neat, tidy, and a little annoying. Don't get me wrong, we all LOVE Monica. Where would the friends be without her? Alphabetizing your cassette tapes on a Sunday morning for fun? Seriously? Typical to a Virgo, Monica displays many traits that are organization-based, intended to invoke structure in an otherwise chaotic world. Her battle with food and incumbent frontier into the culinary world are also indicative of a woman keen on maintaining her size. Virgos thoroughly enjoy a good meal, but if you get carried away, they will nitpick and scrutinize every inch of their own body. Meticulous to a fault, this tendency turns into an asset in the kitchen, where remembering recipes or your friend's favorite sauce turns out to be a phenomenal way to support your kin.
6 LIBRA - Rachel Green
The beauty of the bunch, Rachel Green is an indisputable lover of all things aesthetically pleasing. It's no wonder that this Venus-ruled sign would work at a fancy clothing line like fashion giant Polo Ralph Lauren. Anything lavish, expensive, sumptuous, artistic, things that feel good can be attributed to this beauty enthusiast. Clearly the Prom Queen of this circle of friends, Rachel displays a consistent fashion display worth of Barney's New York, where they live, which you obviously know if you've watched the show. Viewers used to tune in to take a gander at this leading lady's fashion choices from week to week. If Rachel Green was wearing it, fans were sure to copy it. Libras typically have a good sense of fashion trends and their friends just like Rachel Green.
5 SCORPIO - Charlie Wheeler aka Ross' Girlfriend
Okay, so she's slept with a few of the main characters on Friends, but can you blame her? Or them? With a killer bod and brains to boot, this smoking hot cauldron of a woman lights the pants off any one of these Friends regulars, taking the spotlight graciously as it comes her way. Unmistakably, this character is a siren with long legs, tight dresses AND an intellect. As a boss b- at NYU and a paleontologist herself, she is not messing around. Scorpio girls and guys know what they want and just how to get it. They dig in (paleontology joke) and help themselves to whatever or whomever they want. Whether it's Joey or Ross, Charlie Wheeler is the chick in charge. Scorpios will let you know it, either up front, or behind the scenes when you get the stinger.
4 SAGITTARIUS - Charles Bing/Helena Handbasket aka Chandler's Mom
Sagittarians are known for their explorations into The Great Unknown. What's less known by a man than wearing ladies undergarments? I mean, actually wearing them, right. For this final frontier of manhood, Charles Bing aka Chandler's Dad becomes a woman, renaming himself Helena Handbasket, particularly during performances as a showgirl in Las Vegas. With his outlandish and highly stylized performances, Charles Bing captivates in a way any Fire Sign Sagittarius is accustomed to. Sagittarians are difficult to pin down. Don't try to box them or put them neatly into a category. They won't have any of it! Politely accept any controversial issues as a gorgeous manifestation of exactly who they are. Like Helena Handbasket, Sagittarians are a ball of laughs and sure to provide endless entertainment and understanding for their friends.
3 CAPRICORN - Dr. Richard Burke aka Monica's Boyfriend
Smart, smoldering, and successful. This is your typical Capricorn. (Tom Selleck moustache included.) As the older, wiser boyfriend of Monica Geller, Dr. Richard Burke became a series regular on the hit show, being played by a TV and film legend, Tom Selleck. A handsome ophthalmologist, Dr. Burke is friends with Monica's parents, a trait familiar to many Capricorns who like to investigate the historical roots of any potential mate. As a sturdy provider to the twenty-some-years-younger Monica, Dr. Burke delivers on the promise to support his loving partner until he is unable to commit to the idea of having kids with the much-younger Monica. Capricorns are committed once they have found the one, which in this case, turned out not to be Monica. Capricorns love accolades and titles. With the title of M.D., Dr. Burke has earned his right to declare, “A doctor is in the house.”
2 AQUARIUS - Gunther aka Manager at Central Perk
Gunther just always seems, well, there. Always lurking creepily in the background with that odd, distinguishable haircut that sets him apart from all the rest. Aquarians can be kind of weird, but that's also why we like them. Like the wind, this Air Sign has a tendency to blend in and stand out from a colorful landscape all at the same time. Known for their unusual style and/or fashion sense Aquarians may pine for a lover for years before their beloved ever knows it until bam! They know it. Just like Gunther and Rachel. An endearing quality of Aquarius is their ability to oversee large groups of people and tap into the needs of others on a global scale, especially if that globe is named Central Perk. Coffee is important!
1 PISCES - Ursula Buffay aka Phoebe's Evil Twin
Bum, bum, bum… .Cue the Evil Twin music! Music is important to a Pisces, as is making a memorable statement, whether it be for Greenpeace or Metallica. These fish are likely to be found in colorful waters and make a splash wherever they swim. As Phoebe's evil twin sister, Ursula Buffay was a memorable character on Friends, originating from the mind of Lisa Kudrow on the show Mad About You where she had been a forgetful waitress at a local diner in New York City. Since the character was so much fun, Friends decided to welcome back Ursula as Phoebe's evil twin sister, causing upsets and disruptions based on the twins' past. Like a Pisces, Ursula is unusual and enigmatic, gracing the screen on not one but two (like the double fish symbol) popular sitcoms.
