Which “Golden Girls” Character You Are, Based on Your Zodiac Sign
Are you spicy like Blanche, a straight-shooter like Dorothy, as clever as Sophia or a bit 'delulu' like Rose?
Once upon a time in 1985, a groundbreaking sitcom graced the silver screen, introducing the world to four unforgettable women who brought laughter, friendship and enough cheesecake to last a lifetime. Still, one question remains: Are you a Blanche, Dorothy, Sophia or Rose?
Since its premiere on Sept. 14, 1985, The Golden Girls has become a cultural phenomenon, showcasing the hysterical escapades of four middle-aged women navigating life’s ups and downs.
Set in Miami, the iconic series revolved around the lives of Blanche Devereaux, Dorothy Zbornak, Sophia Petrillo and Rose Nylund. Similar to the eclectic dynamic within female friendships, each of the women brought their own unique flair, creating a charming mix of chaos, camaraderie and humor: Blanche’s perpetual spice, Dorothy’s no-nonsense pragmatism, Sophia’s clever wit and Rose’s "delulu" innocence.
The show tackled a variety of topics, from aging to love and loss, all while serving up laughs and memorable moments. It’s safe to say that the success of The Golden Girls has a lot to do with the dynamic blend of characters, much like the 12 zodiac signs — where the whole is always greater than the sum of its parts.
Read on to discover which of The Golden Girls most resembles your zodiac sign.
Blanche Devereaux: Aries, Leo and Sagittarius
"Oh please, it’s bad enough hearing all those snickers as you walk down the aisle, but me in white, even I couldn’t keep a straight face.”
A sultry southern belle known for her vivacious charm and unapologetic pursuit of romance, Blanche Devereaux's spicy spirit and large-than-life presence perfectly embody the essence of the Fire element. She's bold, passionate and confident, often leading her into situations that are both hilarious and scandalous.
Similar to Mars-ruled Aries, Blanche isn't afraid to take risks, whether pursuing a new romantic interest or initiating spontaneous adventures with her friends. She can also be headstrong and impulsive, a classic Aries trait.
Blanche can also resonate with charismatic Leo, especially in her theatrical storytelling and the way she revels in the attention of her admirers. She'll also stop at nothing to defend and support her girlfriends.
Lastly, Blanche's innate sense of optimism and desire for freedom mirrors Sagittarius' eternal quest for experience. Her social calendar would also resemble this Mutable sign's love for fun and adventure.
Dorothy Zbornak: Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn
“Rose, I know this is a long shot, but did you take much acid during the sixties?”
Practical and level-headed, Dorothy Zbornak is the straight shooter of The Golden Girls. Everything from her grounded nature and unwavering sense of responsibility resembles the slow-and-steady Earth element. Her logic, pragmatism and ability to solve problems make her a pillar of strength among the friend group.
Like Taurus' loyalty and stubborn nature, Dorothy stands firm in her beliefs and isn't easily swayed by others. She also values the comfort of her home and appreciates simplicity in her life.
Dorothy can also resonate with analytical Virgo, as she is often the voice of reason, providing Blanche, Rose and her mother, Sophia, with grounded advice when faced with challenges.
Lastly, Dorothy's no-nonsense approach and innate sense of responsibility mirror Capricorn's ruthless determination, as she is essentially the backbone of her friend group.
Sophia Petrillo: Gemini, Libra and Aquarius
"Your heart's in the right place, but I don't know where the hell your brain is."
Quick-witted and fiercely independent, Sophia Petrillo is the sensationally sarcastic matriarch of The Golden Girls. Renowned for her sharp tongue and clever humor, Sophia naturally embodies the witty traits of the Air signs. She thrives in lively conversations and makes hysterical observations in just a few words.
Similar to Gemini's curiosity and knack for engaging in fast-paced conversation, Sophia is mentally agile (despite her age) and able to switch topics seamlessly, which is very mercurial. She is also lighthearted and playful, often entertaining her daughter and friends with mischievous tales from the past.
Sophia can also resonate with Libra as she is often the glue that holds everyone together. Moreover, she isn't afraid to speak her mind when she believes something is unjust.
Lastly, Sophia's quirky, unconventional nature and innate ability to think outside the box go hand-in-hand with rebellious Aquarius. She embraces her individuality and isn't afraid to challenge societal norms.
Rose Nylund: Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces
"Ooooh, I see your point. Well, what about this: 'Miami is nice/So I'll say it thrice!''
Innocent, sweet and typically the most gullible member of The Golden Girls, Rose Nylund is gentle in her approach as she naturally empathizes with others. Her intuition, compassion and exceptionally kind heart resemble the Water element in more ways than one.
Like Cancer's nurturing qualities and strong connection to family, Rose often finds herself reminiscing her times back home in Minnesota, sharing heartwarming memories as she tends to be quite nostalgic, which is very Cancerian.
Rose also possesses a strong sense of loyalty and depth beneath her sweet exterior, which can be a Scorpio trait. She often sees beyond the surface of things, which allows her to pick up on the repressed feelings of those that surround her.
Lastly, her idealistic and romantic nature—which can be seen as a bit "delulu" at times — resembles that of a dreamy Pisces. After all, there is nothing this Neptune-ruled sign enjoys more than getting lost in the fantasy of their imagination, and Rose is no exception. Her empathy is all-encompassing and the whimsical tales of her childhood are often incredibly far-fetched.
