When Harry Met Sally has some of the most iconic characters in romantic comedy cinema. In particular, Harry and Sally have such contrasting personalities that make their love story that much more special and enjoyable to watch.
Additionally, Harry and Sally have a number of friends throughout the film who also have distinct identities that audiences can relate to. To find a perfect match for their personality, viewers can use their zodiac signs to see which When Harry Met Sally character they connect with most.
Aries - Marie
Being an Aries comes with confidence, independence, and a strong personality. These are all qualities that Marie exemplifies throughout the film. However, she simultaneously struggles with being too naive and trusting.
Marie clinging on to a married man, who she believes will leave his wife for her, has some Aries energy to it. Being an Aries may lead one to this blind trust and faith, but at the end of the day, all of the positive characteristics that come with this identity will get this sign their happy ending.
Taurus - Harry
Harry definitely has earth sign energy. While some Tauruses can be introverted, what makes them most relatable to Harry is their realistic attitude towards the world.
Harry looks at the world very plainly when he is younger. The entire concept of men and women not being able to be friends is his reality, and there is no way Sally can make him budge on that idea. A Taurus' practicality and realism towards the world isn't always in their best interest, but it is what keeps them grounded.
Gemini - Helen
Viewers only see Helen once in the film, but we hear plenty about her through Harry. Harry discussing how she asked for a divorce has Gemini energy. It is impulsive and throws Harry off his guard.
Geminis can sometimes be unreliable and flighty in their lives. Helen's attitude towards her marriage with Harry is just that. She doesn't even hear him out and hurts him more by saying she never even loved him. While all signs have their positive traits, for Geminis, their need for change and outgoing personalities can sometimes make their negative traits shine more.
Cancer - Jess
Jess is Harry's best friend, and he is written to be sensitive and supportive in the film. These characteristics and his tendency to overthink things are what make him most like a Cancer. He is also dependable and caring which is something Harry needs throughout the film.
Being a Cancer can sometimes come with the trope of being oversensitive and very emotional, but it all boils down to them just really caring about those closest to them in their lives. Seeing how hard Jess falls for Marie just shows the ease and dedication he can easily bring to any relationship.
Leo - Marie
While Marie can be a little over the top, she is always confident and comfortable with her friends. Leos can relate to her energy because they too wouldn't mind being the center of attention since they have so much confidence in themselves.
Marie has her hiccups in her love life, but there is never a doubt that she is sure of who she is. She is unapologetically herself, all of her flaws and mistakes included, which exudes Leo energy.
Virgo - Sally
Sally should be the first example that pops up when googling Virgos. When viewers are introduced to her, her type A personality is undeniable. How she orders her food and her schedule for the road trip to NYC must be recognizable to all Virgos watching.
Being a perfectionist doesn't go unrewarded. Virgos will want everything exactly how they want it, and it usually turns out for the best. Sally needs someone like Harry, who is a little looser and goes with the flow to balance her out.
Libra - Alice
Alice is one of Sally's friends that audiences wished to see more of. She is a grounded person who Sally is able to bounce ideas off of. She is honest but that doesn't stop her from being compassionate. Libras tend to be friendly and intelligent, which is the heart of Alice's character and her role in Sally's life.
Alice is the voice of reason for Marie when she starts complaining about how the married man she is going after won't leave his wife, and she is there to encourage Sally to put herself out there after breaking up with Joe.
Scorpio - Sally
While Sally has her life together - down to her salad dressing on the side - she does not shy away from hiding her emotions. For example, her iconic scene in Katz's Deli simply screams Scorpio.
Scorpios can be independent, but they will cling to those they open up to and care about. Sally finds that in her friendship with Harry. She does not hide her emotions with him, whether it is her sadness when Joe is getting married or her anger towards him when Harry basically runs away after they sleep together. Scorpios know they can be intense, and they will recognize that intensity in Sally.
Sagittarius - Harry
Any Sagittarius knows how to carry a conversation, and that is very clearly one of Harry's specialties. Harry's charm and his personality shine through the conversations he has with Sally, and he really shows how much he cares by cracking jokes to make her smile.
Harry's sense of humor is also relatable to any Sagittarius. It is a little dry, and people either love it or hate it. Sagitarrius men in particular are straight shooters, which is a key part of Harry's personality in the film.
Capricorn - Harry
Capricorns can be cynical to the general world but will open up to a few key people in their lives - and that practically screams Harry. Capricorns tend to be guarded, since they've usually gone through a lot in life and have their reasons to play their cards close to their chest.
Capricorns, especially Capricorn men, also take a long time to fall in love. If any sign would really encapsulate the reason it takes Harry and Sally so long to finally fall in love, it would be because Harry has Capricorn energy.
Aquarius - Joe
Audiences didn't get to see Joe much in the film, similar to Helen. However, with how Sally describes him through their relationship, he definitely leans towards being an Aquarius, since he did not want to commit to her.
Aquariuses aren't typically affectionate even if they are deeply in love with someone. Sally and Joe's relationship starts off full of love and chemistry, but when it came down to the romance, Joe couldn't really hold up. Joe was obviously charismatic and intelligent, which attracted Sally to him in the first place, but, ultimately, him not wanting to commit put an end to their relationship.
Pisces - Jess
Pisceans are typically empathetic, generous and reliable. Jess is Harry's go-to confidant throughout the film, and additionally, when he starts seeing Marie, we see these traits in their romantic relationship as well.
Pisceans can also be emotional. Jess starting a tiff over the wagon wheel table with Marie is definitely Pisces energy. However, the fact that he gets over it and moves on highlights that Pisces empathy and generosity that they are known for.
