Parks and Recreation

Set in the fictional town of Pawnee, Ind., Parks and Recreation has proven to be a comedic masterpiece. With its quirky cast, awkward moments and hilariously cringeworthy antics, the NBC series keeps us hooked like that last breakfast waffle — impossible to resist.

From Tom Haverford’s next-level entrepreneurial schemes to April Ludgate’s deadpan sarcasm, each character brings something relatable, ridiculous and a little too real.

Who can forget Leslie Knope’s undying passion for public service, waffles and endless fight for justice? Or Ron Swanson’s unwavering love for breakfast food and his rare ability to avoid meetings at all costs, like it’s an Olympic sport?

With seven seasons of pure gold, Parks and Recreation served up everything from town hall shenanigans to hysterical dysfunction in the workplace, reminding us that staying true to your weirdness is the secret ingredient to keeping it all together.

Much like this offbeat and one-of-a-kind cast of characters, astrology reminds us that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Each zodiac sign brings its own unique flavor to the mix — whether you’re a passionate Aries or a meticulous Virgo, analyzing every detail.

So, who knows, you may be more like Donna Meagle — always treating yourself to the good life — or Andy, blissfully dancing to the beat of your own drum.

In honor of the show's 16th anniversary on April 9, see the Parks and Recreation character you are based on your zodiac sign.

“If I keep my body moving and my mind occupied at all times, I will avoid falling into a bottomless pit of despair.” Relentlessly enthusiastic with a tendency to dive headfirst into new endeavors, Chris’ fast-paced lifestyle and love for physical challenges very much resemble the energy of Mars-ruled Aries.

“I'm a simple man. I like pretty, dark-haired women and breakfast food.” Stubborn and perpetually committed to living life on his terms, Ron Swanson is the epitome of Taurus energy. From his love for woodworking to how he finds pleasure in simplicity, there’s no denying the similarities he shares with this Earth sign.

“Why work hard when you can hardly work, am I right?” Unpredictable and full of mischief, Mona-Lisa is quite clever, not to mention skilled at playing mind games to get what she wants. She’s also Jean-Ralphio’s twin sister, making her connection to the Gemini archetype all the more relevant.

Cancer: Jerry Gergich

"They can laugh at me all they want. Because two more years until I retire with full benefits and pension, and my wife and I, we have bought a little cottage on a lake, and I am gonna get myself a stack of mystery novels, a box of cigars, and I am gonna sit back and enjoy my life." On top of being the office's frequent target for jokes, Jerry’s good-natured spirit and love for his wife and daughters highlight this Water sign’s adoration for home and family. Although he can be overly sensitive at times, his kindness is genuine, just like Cancer.

Leo: Tom Haverford

“I don't even have time to tell you how wrong you are.” Ben's love for planning, obsessive attention to detail and constant pursuit of perfection make him a total Virgo.

“We have to remember what’s important in life: friends, waffles and work. Or waffles, friends, work. But work has to come third.” From her delusional optimism to her perpetual fight for “justice” and bringing people together, Leslie Knope is the perpetual mediator of Pawnee’s Parks and Recreation Department. Just like Libra, she thrives in social settings and works tirelessly to keep the peace, even if she starts a few fires along the way.

Scorpio: April Ludgate

“Oh, well then, welcome to the Terror Dome.” From her sarcasm to her intense, mysterious nature, April’s smoldering passion is something only a Scorpio could understand — deep, hidden beneath a cool, deadpan exterior.

“I have no idea what I'm doing, but I know I'm doing it really, really well.” The playful, overly optimistic goofball of Pawnee's Parks and Recreation family, Andy resembles the Sagittarius zodiac with his comical, adventurous and spontaneous nature. Whether it’s climbing into a giant bird costume or doing everything in his power to win April’s heart, there’s no denying the similarities he shares with this Fire sign.

Capricorn: Donna Meagle

“Luxury isn't a dream; it's my lifestyle.” Everything from Donna’s ruthless pragmatism to her success-driven mindset resembles the essence of Saturn-ruled Capricorn. She knows what she wants and works tirelessly to get it, like her famous "Treat Yo' Self" mantra, disciplined and self-efficient. Donna is a boss, and everyone knows it.

Aquarius: Mark Brendanawicz

“Balancing idealism with reality is a full-time job in city planning.” Mark’s sarcasm, truth bombs and emotional detachment undoubtedly fall into Aquarius’ territory. He’s the type to keep a safe distance from others while still engaging with the world through witty commentary and clever observations, much like this freedom-loving Air sign.
