The intricacies of Regency-era courtship are on full display in Bridgerton, where the highlight of the season involves society's most affluent families tending to the futures of their most eligible members. As the ton spectates and speculates the matchmaking process, some couples are made for convenience, some for prudence, and some for love.
In Bridgerton, opposites often attract, and indeed the central romance involving the Duke of Hastings and Daphne Bridgerton reveals the passion that is possible when two people with polarizing personalities find themselves falling in love. Discover which of the colorful characters in the hit Netflix series you would best match with based on your zodiac sign.
Ares: Siena Rosso
Siena Rosso is one of the most popular opera singers in London, but unfortunately, that doesn't make her welcome in the drawing rooms and ballrooms of its high society. She lives life on her own terms, making a living in a way that secures her future.
An Aries, known for thinking outside the box and being somewhat of a maverick, would see Siena as a winning partner. If your sign favors bold ventures and marching to the beat of their own drum, someone like the feisty chanteuse might catch your eye.
Taurus: Colin Bridgerton
Colin, one of the younger brothers in the Bridgerton family, makes up for his lack of worldly experience with his bountiful enthusiasm. He is charming, amusing, and never turns down the opportunity to expand his perspective on things he doesn't know.
If you're a normally guarded Taurus, unsure of where a partner's loyalties lie, you might consider young Colin. Like your sign, he doesn't appreciate deceit but would marry a woman even if she was with child, provided he was made aware of the circumstances. Colin would be loyal, steadfast, and loving.
Gemini: Madam Delacroix
Madam Delacroix may be the modiste who caters to all the eligible ladies in the ton wishing for romance, but she has her own dreams and ambitions. Unfortunately, to succeed, she must fabricate a part of her existence, forcing her to lead a double life.
A Gemini would be intrigued by Madam Delacroix's lifestyle, especially since it would afford them the opportunity to languish in debauchery at the artist parties she attends. If you're a sign known for being practical and curious, you might even want to find a way to further her professional ambition.
Cancer: Penelope Featherington
Shy but no less personable, Penelope Featherington might seem like a wallflower if it weren't for her vivid dresses. Of the marrying age in Regency society, she strives to be noticed amidst the throngs of women competing for eligible suitors but often gets relegated to being an observant voyeur.
If you're a Cancer, who begrudgingly makes friends but is unshakably loyal, you would find Penelope to be a steadfast partner. Your sign would no doubt be fiercely protective of her secret, and provide her the recognition she deserves by acknowledging the depth of her character.
Leo: Eloise Bridgerton
Forthright, spunky, and inappropriate, Eloise Bridgerton doesn't desire all the trappings of her gender, and would rather attend university and become an author than make her debut in high society — which she has already delayed.
A Leo, renowned for their optimistic and open-minded view of the world, would embrace Eloise's candor and intellectual zeal. Your sign would recognize her astute observations as anything but embarrassing, and relish the chance to go on sleuthing adventures to uncover the identity of Lady Whistledown.
Virgo: Anthony Bridgerton
Though he is the eldest son in the Bridgerton family, Anthony only starts taking his responsibilities as the head of the household after admonishment from his mother, the Viscountess. He would much rather escape in the arms of an opera singer, but his obligation to his family requires him to be conscientious of the ton's unforgiving expectations.
Anthony's heart reflects a more free-spirited sign despite his desire to be disciplined, making his true soulmate a Virgo. Your sign might appreciate Anthony's attempts to be orderly, as well as his devotion to his family, acknowledging that with a little persistence, he could achieve the success his lineage warrants.
Libra: Simon Basset
Though he is woe to admit it, love is what the Duke of Hastings craves most. His abominable father made him believe that love was conditional, and only given to the partner that is perfect, but he eventually learns that there is no need to be perfect in the eyes of the perfect partner.
If you're a Libra, you will relish the challenge of getting Simon to open up while enjoying the easy way he employs his charms. You will become a safe haven for his troubles, which he will learn to work out with you in mature, diplomatic ways as your love grows.
Scorpio: Daphne Bridgerton
Beneath prim and proper Daphne Bridgerton's well-coiffed exterior beats the heart of a true, passionate romantic. She's head-strong, loyal, but also compassionate and caring. She worries about her family and tries to do right by them, and can sometimes feel selfish for following her heart.
If you're a headstrong Scorpio, someone like Daphne will be able to brace against your cutting words and see beyond your stubborn nature to the sterling qualities you exhibit. She won't be afraid to be candid with you when you need it most or force you to look at things from a perspective other than your own.
Sagittarius: Queen Charlotte
Bold, aggressive, and thrill-seeking, Queen Charlotte knows that everything in society happens at her whim, and the sycophancy of the ton bores her. Though she hates to admit it, she reads Lady Whistledown's street sheets as feverishly as the rest of her subjects, perhaps to distract from the strained relationship she has with the king.
A Sagittarius, whose "go with the flow" sensibilities and loving nature would be able to permit the queen her indulgences, would likewise be able to have their run of court. By offering her a safe haven for friendship and love without causing her to worry about the unpredictable aggression brought on by the king's scattered state of mind, they could enjoy a great deal of personal freedom.
Capricorn: Lady Danbury
As sharp in wit as she is in dress, Lady Danbury is a lioness of court, who counts the queen among her personal friends, and respects those who respect themselves. She isn't seen with a partner in Bridgerton, but rest assured they would need to meet her exacting standards.
If you're a Capricorn and known for being ambitious and disciplined, Lady Danbury's astute nature and charisma might appeal to you. Your sign is also known for its dry sense of humor, something which Lady Danbury has in spades.
Aquarius: Benedict Bridgerton
The second oldest Bridgerton is a bit adrift with his place in life, not having the obligations of his older brother Anthony but not being able to be as capricious as his younger brother Colin. Benedict's search for his purpose leads him to a fascinating realization about defying expectations and being true to both his heart and his art.
A sign as independent as an Aquarius will like the duality of Benedict's personality. He is reserved and thoughtful, as well as passionate and humorous, and his burgeoning artistic side will draw the creative air sign right in.
Pisces: Marina Thompson
Marina Thompson may dream of a life full of love, children, and happiness, but she soon realizes that her aspirations are nothing more than flights of fancy. She must make hard decisions based on her predicament, and let go of the follies of youth's optimism.
A Pisces would not admonish Marina for her choices, but instead, help her make her daydreams a reality. The water sign would be empathetic to her situation and understand that it requires a creative, delicate approach.
