Sonic the Hedgehog is a video game icon, a speedster loved by many over the years. From classic 2D levels, to 3D adventures, to spinoffs, Sonic has had many epic outings over the years and made a lot of chums.

12 Virgo: Espio The Chameleon

August 23 - September 22

Espio the Chameleon in Sonic Generations

Virgos are grounded and have an eye for details. Similarly, Espio the Chameleon, a detective for the Chaotix Detective Agency, has a calm nature and a knack for noticing important clues. Additionally, Espio trained as a ninja, achieving high mastery through discipline and focus, which Virgos also possess.

Espio is extremely practical, which is why Virgos may be drawn to him. He also is good at staying on task, often reining in his more energetic (and distractable) coworkers, Vector the Crocodile and Charmy Bee.

11 Libra: Cream The Rabbit

September 23 - October 23

Cream the Rabbit and Cheese the Chao in Sonic X

Libras are famous for their peaceful nature, seeking harmony in all things. Cream the Rabbit, too, is a character who thrives in calm, her sweet personality prompting her to avoid conflict and fighting. Her gentleness speaks perfectly to Libras’ sensibilities.

Cream can also fly using her ears, which Libras may interpret as an Air Sign. Like Libras, she is also very loyal to her friends, illustrated most through her companionship with her Chao, Cheese, who is constantly by her side. Cheese himself is no stranger to loyalty, embarking on numerous quests to recover his brother, Chocola.

10 Scorpio: Rouge The Bat

October 24 - November 21

Rouge The Bat Looking at her left hand while stading on a street.

Cunning Scorpios share a lot in common with the mysterious Rouge the Bat, who sometimes plays ally, and other times plays the villain. Charming, smooth and swift, Rouge is impossible for others to predict, which Scorpios may appreciate about her.

Like Scorpios, Rouge is also incredibly resourceful, a necessity for a treasure hunter, jewel thief, and spy. She knows how to get what she wants, yet she knows when to put aside her agenda in moments where the world is at stake, demonstrating a calculating nature most Scorpios also share.

9 Sagittarius: Sonic The Hedgehog

November 22 - December 21

Sonic the Hedgehog dashing through a forest in Sonic Frontiers

Laid-back and free-spirited Sonic the Hedgehog is a prime example of a Sagittarius. Like Sagittariuses, Sonic is content to go with the flow, using his speed to go on spontaneous adventures. Sonic’s various quests and challenges, ranging from close-to-home battles with Dr. Eggman to the distant past in games like Sonic and the Black Knight, speak to Sagittariuses’ tendency to jump into new and exciting tasks.

Sonic thrives in chaos (no pun intended), able to easily adapt to any strange event. And let's just say his universe delivers no shortage of strange events. Eldritch abominations rebirthing from the planet's core are just an average Saturday. He’s also not one to quit, his unquashable optimism being yet another Sagittarius trait.

8 Capricorn: Blaze The Cat

December 22 - January 19

Sonic Generations Blaze the Cat

Capricorns are known for their intense focus, oftentimes detached emotions, and fierce perseverance. These descriptors apply to Blaze the Cat, the mighty guardian of the Sol Emeralds from an alternate dimension. Blaze tends to be fairly reserved, like Capricorns, though you certainly don’t want to get on her bad side.

6 Characters Everyone Forgets Were In Sonic The Hedgehog Games
Though everyone can name the star characters of the Sonic the Hedgehog series, these less-than-well-known critters have been forgotten over time.

Though the Sol Emeralds give her immense power, she is patient and waits for the proper time to use that power, as a Capricorn would. Also, she is extremely dedicated to her mission, whatever it happens to be at that given moment, and determined to take her role as guardian seriously, reflecting additional Capricorn tendencies.

7 Aquarius: Vector The Crocodile

January 20 - February 18

Vector the Crocodile moans about the rent in Sonic Heroes

Vector the Crocodile shares the same carefree vibe as Aquariuses, always down for relaxing. At the same time, Vector also seeks to make an impact on the world by leading the Chaotix Detective Agency. His motivations also resonate with Aquariuses; who can't name a time when they were a bit pressed for cash, or had to take a job they weren't altogether thrilled with?

Aquariuses are also independent, and while Vector does work within a team, he tends to let his leadership go to his head, often talking and acting like he’s a solo outfit. He demands that the others let him take all the office's phone calls, for instance. Vector, like Aquariuses, also appreciates creative expression, specifically through his love of music. You'll often catch him jamming out on the job.

6 Pisces: Tails

February 19 - March 20

Tails holding a gem in Sonic the Hedgehog

Tails is one of the most iconic sidekicks in video game history, remaining a faithful and empathetic friend to Sonic through thick and thin. Similarly, a Pisces is an extremely loyal partner who tends to focus on supporting others. Tails is constantly working to aid those around him, be it in the fray or via his technological know-how.

Sonic and Tails have always been a power duo, but there are some things you didn't know Tails can do that Sonic cannot.

Pisces are also inventive, another trait they share in common with Tails, an inventor by trade. He's also particularly unique because, as his name implies, of his two tails, which allow him to fly.

5 Aries: Amy Rose

March 21 - April 19

Amy Rose poses in Sonic Generations

Aries tend to be hot-headed, fiery individuals – a great description for Amy Rose, the hedgehog who would love nothing more than to be Sonic’s girlfriend. She's quite content fighting alongside him in the meantime, though. Amy is passionate, like Aries, and speaks her mind without restraint. She wields the Piko Piko Hammer, a massive and powerful weapon that Aries would no doubt also enjoy using in battle.

Amy doesn’t take no for an answer, persistent in going after what she wants – which, usually, is Sonic’s affections. Girl just won't quit. Similar to Aries, Amy is hard to dissuade from any task she sets her mind to.

4 Taurus: Knuckles The Echidna

April 20 - May 20

Sonic helping Knuckles return the master emerald in Sonic 3

Tauruses are unshakable, grounded in their beliefs, and stubborn when determined to win. Knuckles the Echidna, as the sole surviving guardian of the Master Emerald, shares these same attributes. There's also his super strength, used for defense and to fulfill his ancestral mission as protector.

15 Things Knuckles Can Do That Sonic Can't
Everyone might talk about the blue hedgehog, but it's time for the echidna to get some love too. Here are 15 things Knuckles can do that Sonic can't.

Similar to Tauruses, Knuckles tends to be extremely serious and hyper-focused on doing what’s best. He remains stalwart in his role, refusing to budge unless he believes it’s for the good of his task. Tauruses would appreciate this about Knuckles – though perhaps less so his rampant gullibility, which often sees him falling afoul of Eggman's deceit.

3 Gemini: Dr. Eggman

May 21 - June 21

Eggman stands in front of a blurred Sonic Frontiers landscape

Gemini is cunning and curious, a combination that describes Dr. Eggman, Sonic’s arch nemesis, rather aptly. Like Geminis, Dr. Eggman is quick-witted, always able to scheme up more plans to bring about his vision of the world: Eggmanland. For the uninitiated, that's a planet-sized theme park, centred entirely around... well, him (the closest he ever got was in Sonic Unleashed.) His scientific bent may appeal to Geminis as well.

However, like Geminis, Eggman has a dual nature. For all his brilliance, Dr. Eggman tends to be short-sighted when he goes up against Sonic, and his constant failures are in stark contrast to his high I.Q. of 300.

2 Cancer: Trip The Sungazer

June 22 - July 22

Sonic Superstars Trip the Sungazer cutscene

A relatively fresh face in the Sonicverse, shy, introverted Trip epitomises the persona of a Cancer. Having spent many years alone on the Northstar Isles, brooding and desperate for company, it's perhaps understandable that she's quick to ally with an arriving Dr. Eggman. Her dual nature for most of the game, alternating between a rival and friend of Sonic's, shows an emotion-driven agenda Cancers may gravitate towards.

Cancers are also doggedly passionate, which describes Trip's personality as well. When she possesses the seven Chaos Emeralds, she can morph into a gigantic, fire-breathing dragon. In fact, she's descended from the terrifying Black Dragon, whose powers pulse in her veins. Luckily, her sweet heart wins out, and she remains uncorrupted. The idea of holding onto light in the face of darkness is highly suited to Cancer.

1 Leo: Jet The Hawk

July 23 - August 22

Jet the Hawk with Wave and Storm Sonic Riders

Jet the Hawk, a lesser-known foe from the Sonic Riders racing subseries, is characterised by his extreme confidence and pride, which are defining traits of Leos. Leos crave being in the spotlight, and Jet, master of Extreme Gear stunts, certainly enjoys being the center of attention and admiration. Leos also tend to have big egos, an accurate description of Jet.

Leos also don’t mind taking charge. Jet is the leader of the Babylon Rogues, a legendary band of thieves who have their own sizeable chunks of lore to uncover. Loud-mouthed, brash, but with a good soul beneath it all, he's a Leo to a T.
