Jacob Elordi and Margot Robbie in Wuthering Heights.
Warner Bros. Pictures
The long-awaited film adaptation of Emily Brontë’s classic romantic novel Wuthering Heights, starring Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi, is coming Feb. 13, right on time for Valentine’s Day.
The characters' astrological affiliations are interesting, as some of their cosmic alignments seem out of sync at first glance. But when we delve deeper into their constitution and qualities, it is clear that Brontë might have used the stars to shape their roles and the plot.
If you're curious why scenery and a house are depicted with zodiac signs, the reason is that Emily Brontë, who was mostly confined to her home due to her family’s ongoing illnesses, used the setting of Wuthering Heights to tell its own story. She got lost in her home and wanted readers to do the same.
The Moors are wild and spellbinding, connecting it with the zodiac sign Sagittarius, and Thrushross Grange is full of indulgence and wealth, aligning it with Venetian Taurus. Makes sense, considering they have a life of their own.
The zodiac signs of the main characters are based on the birthdays Emily Brontë gave them in the book. While others, who are new additions to the story, such as Mrs. Burton, are up to interpretation.
Read below to find out who or what resonates with your Sun sign.
Aries: Zillah
Zillah is Heathcliff’s housekeeper, who chooses to be insensitive to Catherine when she needs help the most. It's not that Zillah lacks empathy or sympathy; she puts herself first and doesn’t want to create issues that can affect her job status. Aries can be somewhat self-serving because several past experiences have shown them they have to be to survive in the cutthroat world of dog-eat-dog.
Taurus: Thrushcross Grange
Thrushcross Grange.
Warner Bros.
The house of decadence and privilege that once belonged to the Lintons (Heathcliff later acquires it to be messy), the palatial property shows affluence and abundance — Taurus, which the planet Venus rules, knows all about luxury and refinement. The walls are colorful, and the land is lush with greenery and beautiful blossoms, offering hope and promise to Catherine, who yearns for security, popularity and sophistication.
Gemini: Catherine “Cathy” Earnshaw
Catherine Earnshaw.
Warner Bros.
I am aware this statement will be controversial, but Catherine's birthday in the original book is May 28, alluding to her Gemini persona. At times, Catherine plays mind games to get her way, so it's not a far stretch. She possesses a dualistic demeanor, like a twin star, oscillating between societal expectations and her heart. Also, Geminis haunt their exes, which Catherine does to Heathcliff.
Cancer: Mr. Earnshaw
Martin Clunes.
Warner Bros.
In Emily Brontë’s telling, Mr. Earnshaw is a sweet and nurturing father figure to Heathcliff. When he adopts Heathcliff, his daughter, Catherine, becomes enamored of him. In the new version of the movie, Mr. Earnshaw might be moodier than originally depicted. Both suggest he is a Cancer because he intends to take in an orphan and expand his family and home through semblances of charity.
Leo: Nelly Dean
Hong Chau.
Warner Bros.
In the book, Nelly’s birthday is cited as being Aug. 10, linking her to the zodiac Leo. She narrates the events unfolding, offering details from her personal POV. Leos may have a flair for theatrics, but they are loyal and devoted to those they care for. More often than not, Nelly’s softer side is shown; however, her opinions make her tenacious, like the Fire sign.
Virgo: Sister Mercy
Sister Mercy is a person who has pure integrity. Virgos are always giving to others, believing it is their duty to serve through acts of compassion and kindness without asking for anything in return. Sister Mercury is a minor character, but that does not mean there are no small roles. The impact she makes sets off a chain of events that are catalysts for each other’s development.
Libra: Isabella Linton
Alison Oliver.
Warner Bros.
Isabella’s Oct. 14 birthdate confirms she is a Libra. As a member of the upper crust of society, she marries for love (at least she adores Heathcliff, even if the sentiment is not mutual), which is how a Libra would behave if they were feeling all the feels. Their cheeky nature, inclination toward the finer things, and desire to partner are qualities that define Isabella.
Scorpio: Heathcliff
Jacob Elordi.
Warner Bros.
Although his birthday is July 30, making him a Leo, Heathcliff resonates with major Scorpio energy. First of all, he becomes enamored with Catherine almost immediately, aligning him with the magnetism and intuition the scorpion radiates. Secondly, he has a penchant for vindication, and the water sign is known as the claws of justice, reaping retribution for the past. Both never forgive and rarely forget.
Sagittarius: The Moors
The Moors.
Warner Bros.
The book and film are set in the brooding backdrop of the wild Moors, a location that depicts the wild and intense affair between Catherine and Heathcliff. Sagittarius is a zodiac sign that embraces freedom and desire, so The Moors are a perfect representation of the archer’s lustful passions. It’s here that the ill-fated couple can be found tempting each other in their lustful dynamic.
Capricorn: Edgar Linton
Shazad Latif.
Warner Bros.
Edgar is tough on his inner circle, particularly Catherine and Heathcliff, because he’s jealous of their connection. Since he’s a Capricorn born on Jan. 17, the math adds up. Capricorns are territorial, like most earth signs. They become protective and consumed with the person they adore. When reciprocation is minimal, it hurts their ego, so they conduct themselves in austere ways. FYI, Edgar goes to extremes.
Aquarius: Mrs. Burton
As the humble housemaid of Catherine and Heathcliff’s childhood home, Mrs. Burton is a tad aloof. Rarely giving in to Catherine's emotions, she tries to school her by maintaining composure. Aquarians prefer to be logical rather than sentimental, and pragmatic rather than erratic. Therefore, Mrs. Burton is an Aquarius because she keeps her feelings and opinions to herself and observes the situations while they unfold.
Pisces: Joseph
Ewan Mitchell.
Warner Bros.
Joseph invests his time in scripture, since he is spiritual. With a birthday of March 17, he transcends Pisces’ beliefs and values into his life. The water sign dives completely into their ways of thinking and rarely sees others’ perspectives as real because their way is the only one that matters. As long as they are happy in their own world, that is what’s important.
