In 2018, the big screen graced viewers with the romantic comedy movie Crazy Rich Asians. The film, (which is based on the popular Kevin Kwan novel of the same name), featured the first modern love story with an all-Asian cast and Asian-American leads.
The movie has lots of satisfying drama and romantic moments wonderfully brought to life by the amazing personas, like the kind-hearted Rachel and her Singapore bestie Peik Lin, as well as the reserved well-to-do Eleanor. With such a large number of captivating personalities, naturally, there's a character that fits the traits of each zodiac sign. Check out which Crazy Rich Asians character best aligns with your personal sign.
Aries: Eleanor Young
Eleanor Young is definitely more of a traditionalist and very stubborn. She spends the majority of the film meddling in the relationship between her son and Rachel Chu, trying to break them up. To Eleanor, Rachel's lack of wealth and influence makes her a poor match for Nick.
Like Eleanor, Aries are known for their passion and loyalty, as well as their tendency for stubbornness and arrogance. They also make the best leaders and love to be challenged. This fire sign matches Nick Young's affluent mother perfectly.
Taurus: Nick Young
Henry Golding's portrayal of Nick Young shows the character as charming and charismatic, as well as well-mannered and cultured. Like the Taurus, Nick is intelligent and loyal, however, just like his mother Eleanor, the bull sign can be stubborn as well.
In Nick and Rachel's case, Nick's strong-willed refusal to dump Rachel simply to please his mother showed that unlike his cousin Eddie, who became wrapped up in maintaining an extravagant lifestyle, his grounded earth sign was a solid anchor that kept him firmly rooted in practicality. The Taurus and Nick are both definitely worth having on your side.
Gemini: Wye Mun Goh
Fun-loving, flashy, and outgoing, Peik Lin's father, Wye Mun, is a much-needed breath of fresh air among the many judgmental characters in Crazy Rich Asians high society. Unlike the Youngs, Wye Mun comes from new money, and unlike the elitist characters in the film, he is very laidback and friendly towards Rachel, easily welcoming her into their home.
Wye Mun represents the sociable, warm side of Gemini's dueling personalities. As an air sign, he is bubbly and brings a lightheartedness to the film, while also being hilarious. This talkative dad is definitely a Gemini.
Cancer: Colin Khoo
Colin is Nick's childhood best friend who is getting married to Araminta Lee. Their wedding is considered a high society can't-miss event of the year. Like Nick, he's more relaxed than his snobby counterparts and also one of the few members of the elite who is kind and welcoming to Rachel.
Like the Cancer sign, which holds strong sentimental roots, Colin is loyal and sympathetic towards his best friend whenever he needs support. Colin's kind nature is definitely reflective of the Cancer zodiac sign.
Leo: Eddie Cheng
Nick's cousin Eddie is completely obsessed with wealth and image, a natural social climber who always looking for ways to gain even more status. Eddie is often dismissive towards his wife Fiona and would rudely mock newcomer Rachel, who Eddie saw as inferior due to her lack of status and money.
Eddie strongly represents the fire sign, Leo. Like the Lion, Eddie is filled with self-confidence, indulges in his attention-seeking nature, and enjoys being the dominating partner in his marriage. Eddie also enjoys expensive things, being praised, and strongly dislikes not receiving the royal treatment he believes he deserves.
Virgo: Kerry Chu
Unlike many of the elite in the film, Rachel Chu's mother Kerry was not born into wealth nor did she have materialistic ambitions. In order to protect her daughter from her abusive husband, Kerry willingly abandoned her life in China and fled to the United States. As a result of her well-intentioned parenting, Kerry had a very close relationship with her daughter.
Kerry represents the kindness of the Virgo, the Earth zodiac sign. She is logical, practical, and extremely loyal to her beloved daughter. Like Virgo, Kerry can be strong but also self-critical, she does not disclose the truth of Rachel's father to her daughter, who unfortunately had to find out about him due to Eleanor's meddling.
Libra: Oliver T'sien
In Crazy Rich Asians, Oliver represents the well-known rom-com trope of the gay best friend. He's stylish, wealthy, and unlike the nastier members of high society, kind and welcoming to outsider Rachel Chu. He considers himself to be "the rainbow sheep of the family" and much like Rachel's college friend, Peik Lin, he is there to help Rachel navigate the overwhelming world of the Young family.
Oliver represents the Libra zodiac. As the Air sign, Oliver seeks balance and is a peacekeeper at heart, he's also quite playful, as well as social, and dislikes the more aggressive personalities in his social circle.
Scorpio: Bernard Tai
Attention-seeking playboy Bernard Tai is one of Colin Khoo's friends who throws him an over-the-top bachelor party and tries to steal the spotlight for himself, right before the wedding. Like a true Scorpio, Bernard can come off as intense and controlling, often assuming that he knows what is best.
Similarly, Bernard's need to control situations, along with his stubbornness, can definitely come off as negative traits for this zodiac sign. On the positive side, a Scorpio can also be very ambitious, with high-set goals.
Sagittarius: Rachel Chu
This NYU professor is well-educated, independent, and kind. Unlike the other women in Crazy Rich Asians, Rachel is uninterested in climbing the social ladder or obsessing over materialist objects. Her desire to fit in with the Young family and fight their disapproval with goodwill does not always work in her favor.
Much like the fire sign Sagittarius, Rachel is a curious and energy-filled optimist who enjoys adventure and values knowledge. In terms of love, Sagittarius seeks partners that are intelligent and kind, much like her boyfriend, Nick. When this sign commits to someone, they become incredibly loyal, in all aspects.
Capricorn: Shang Su Yi
Nick's Ah-Ma is the matriarch of the Young family. She is a proud woman with a strong focus on traditional values and she is not afraid to let her family know when she thinks they are out of line. It's made clear to viewers that Ah-Ma never saw Eleanor as good enough to marry into their family, due to her prior social class, and she makes it known to Nick that she sees Rachel in the same light.
As a traditionalist, Ah-Ma represents the Capricorn, an Earth sign known for being disciplined and family-oriented. Like Ah-Ma, Capricorns are very responsible, but can also be unforgiving, as noted by Ah-Ma's longstanding disapproval of Eleanor.
Aquarius: Peik Lin Goh
Rachel's good friend, Peik Lin (played by Awkwafina), was there to help her navigate the overwhelming world of excessive wealth that Rachel finds herself thrown into. Peik Lin provides much-needed support and motivation as she helps Rachel tackle everything from finding the perfect outfit to giving her a necessary confidence boost in order to stand up to Nick's cold mother.
Peik Lin represents the eccentric and energetic side of Aquarius. As the Air sign, she is easily adaptable, loves to help out in a crisis, and is a level-headed problem solver.
Pisces: Astrid Teo
Known for her beauty and impeccable fashion sense, Astrid Teo is one of the few friendly faces that treats newcomer Rachel with kindness and openly accepts her into the family. Astrid doesn't let the discovery that her husband Michael is cheating weigh her down, instead choosing to embrace herself, ask for a divorce, and move on with her life.
Just like the zodiac sign Pisces, Astrid is creative and sensitive, with a naturally romantic nature. While Astrid is also incredibly charming and friendly, she can be introverted, at times. Still, she is surprisingly grounded for someone with opulent wealth.
