I thought I had done a whole Alien astrology thread the last time I rewatched Alien but apparently not, so strap in folks, it& #39;s time for the signs as characters from Alien (1979)
ARIES - the Nostromo, yes the spaceship! no one else would be randomly hanging out together or actually going anywhere w/out her! shit& #39;s on fire, there& #39;s a seemingly huge breakdown but then somehow everything& #39;s fine and we are MOVING again folks!! luv 2 alarm scream and go fast!!
TAURUS - Parker - good with handling objects (chief engineer), primarily concerned with the bag (worker& #39;s rights baby! get that share!) and having exactly one bestie, but when shit really hits the fan can be counted on to put that stubborn streak to solid use
GEMINI - the titular Alien!! going from an egg to a facehugger to a magnificent xenomorph in under 2 hours? the range! adapting to a different atmosphere? outsmarting everyone? literally two mouths? this is Gemini behavior! i swear this is honestly all a compliment!
I couldn& #39;t decide on a good image for the Alien bc all the screenshots I took looked bad and didn& #39;t want to accidentally use an image from the wrong film in the franchise sorry!!!!
CANCER - Lambert - people give this character shit for crying, but it& #39;s 100% the appropriate reaction to the situation! she& #39;s arguably the character who acts most like a living feeling human who is upset by upsetting things & has good instincts abt something being a bad idea
LEO - Jones- and not just bc he is an orange cat! somehow even with everything going on, in moments when pragmatism would dictate otherwise, & without any lines, Jones manages to become the center of attention for other characters and us the audience & an iconic part of this film
VIRGO - Ash- (spoilers) ok so sure there& #39;s the being a robot designed to perfectly execute a job w specific priorities thing, but the real Virgo mood in this film is peering into a microscope working intently on something for work, being interrupted, & being very visibly annoyed
LIBRA - Brett! hobbies include chainsmoking, agreeing w friends, stressing about $, always being around yet somehow you know nothing about him & he knows your whole deal, being a FASHION ICON (honestly how many crushes have i had that dress like Harry Dean Stanton in Alien?)

SCORPIO - Dallas- hot, moody, extremely suspicious?? travels the stars like he& #39;s married to the sea but is possibly secretly pining? very brave, but at times his decisions are governed by the intensity of his emotions, literally has the line "I don& #39;t trust anybody"
lol i got distracted by an internet outage and a tornado?? time to finish this thread i guess!
SAGITTARIUS - Kane - curious and personable and a fun accent! too bad the desire to go on cool adventures so you can rush headlong into learning about some freaky stuff in a new faraway place is, unfortunately, a double-edge sword
