I thought I had done a whole Alien astrology thread the last time I rewatched Alien but apparently not, so strap in folks, it'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's on fire, there's a seemingly huge breakdown but then somehow everything'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'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't decide on a good image for the Alien bc all the screenshots I took looked bad and didn'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's 100% the appropriate reaction to the situation! she'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'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'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'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
