Gemini: Kay Graham, The Post (2017)
The way Meryl Streep is able to transform into real life people and tell their story so truthfully is remarkable. One of Streep's best performances was that of Kay Graham in The Post. Kay presided over her family's newspaper, "The Washington Post", as it was breaking the Watergate scandal in the early '70s.
Graham was born on June 16th, making her a Gemini, and it shows in the way she was able to roll with the punches under such immense pressure.
Cancer: Sister Aloysius Beauvier, Doubt (2008)
People born under the Cancer sign are very tenacious and persuasive. When Cancers get an idea in their head, it's difficult for them to see things from any other perspective, which sometimes works in their favor, and other times, does not.
Sister Aloysius Beauvier is a great example of this in the film Doubt and Meryl Streep does a wonderful job of showing the internal struggles a lot of Cancer people are probably familiar with.

Virgo: Roberta, Music Of The Heart (1999)
The Virgo sign is very loyal and very hardworking. People born under this sign tend to throw themselves into their work or whatever they're passionate about and it's difficult for them to focus on anything else.
Roberta Guaspari, the real life person Meryl Streep portrayed in Music of the Heart, is definitely a Virgo in the way she devoted her life to fight for music education in New York's public school system
Libra: Kay, Hope Springs (2012)
People born under the Libra sign are very fair-minded and it's easy for them to see both sides of a situation and help others look at things from a different perspective.
Libras are great at bringing people together and solving problems, which is what Meryl Streep's character Kay does in the romantic comedy, Hope Springs. When Kay and her husband Arnold finally become empty nesters they realize they need to find their spark again, which is exactly what they set out to do.
Scorpio: Violet Weston, August: Osage County (2013)
The Scorpio sign is a very passionate sign and is never afraid to offer their thoughts or opinions in any given moment. They are also one of the most loyal signs and make for great friends and companions because once they bond with someone, it's unbreakable.
Violet Weston in the film adaptation of August: Osage County, is very passionate and struggles to show her family her emotions in a healthy way, but loves them unconditionally.
Sagittarius: Jane Adler, It's Complicated (2009)
The Sagittarius sign has a lot of energy and loves exploring life. This sign is a very curious sign and doesn't shy away from an idea very easily.
When Meryl Streep's character Jane Adler finds herself falling for her ex-husband all over again, she can't help but explore the possibility of reigniting that flame, no matter how bad of an idea it seems initially. This character is definitely a risk taker and definitely a Sagittarius.
Capricorn: Aunt March, Little Women (2019)
The Capricorn sign is a very organized sign and people born under this sign make great leaders. Capricorns can be stern, but it always comes from a place of love and wanting the best for the people they care about.
Aunt March in Greta Gerwig's remake of Little Women is definitely a Capricorn in the way she looks after and expects structure and perfection from the March girls, especially the youngest, Amy March.
Aquarius: Lisa Metzger, Prime (2005)
People born under the Aquarius sign are known for their natural humanitarian-like nature. Aquarius people love to help others and usually go into a field that will allow them to do just that, like becoming a therapist.
Lisa Metzger is a therapist, played by Meryl Streep in the feature film, Prime. When Lisa realizes one of her patients is dating her son, she struggles with the morality of it all and how to handle such a delicate situation.
Pisces: Donna, Mamma Mia! (2008)
The Pisces sign is a very musical sign and people born under this sign usually have some kind of natural musical gift or talent.
Meryl Streep's character Donna in the jukebox musical turned movie, Mamma Mia!, is definitely a Pisces, not only because she loves to sing and dance but also in the way she loves people and lives her life so joyfully and carefree.
