These are descriptions based off my opinions and sometimes on the candidate’s actions themselves. They are not completely without bias...however, being a Pisces, my sign is not represented by any of the presidential candidates, making it a little fairer. Also for the Republican edition I only chose Republicans that I recognized/liked, so I apologize if I left out someone you were looking for.
Gemini
Marco Rubio/Donald Trump
Geminis are notoriously known for being two-faced, because of the twins that represent this sign. Geminis tend to be chatty and independent. Trump fits this bill perfectly, gaining attention solely from his outrageous and sometimes offensive statements. Geminis are usually in it for themselves—not really caring about the universal human experience, as a good leader of the free world should. They are known for being clever but tend to use that wit and knowledge to come up with devious and misleading plans. Not all Geminis are bad, but do you really want a two-faced, know-it-all, who is only looking out for themselves in office?
Aquarius
Jeb Bush
Aquariuses are some of my favorite people. Funny, artistic and smart—they have it all. Even their “negative” attributes are positive in terms of being a president. They are stubborn; meaning they won’t give in on issues that matter. They are unemotional; meaning they won’t let their emotions get in the way of making difficult decisions that a president has to make. However, because of this aloofness, an Aquarius may have a hard time connecting with voters to get elected.
Scorpio
Scott Walker
Scorpios are difficult to get along with, but when they do decide to like you, they are fiercely loyal and pretty much awesome. If they feel betrayed, they will get revenge, which is fine when you aren’t on the receiving end of that rage. Scorpios have a mild reputation for being power hungry. This doesn’t always manifest in becoming president and then taking over and becoming supreme ruler of the world, but...it could.
Capricorn
Rand Paul
Most Capricorns I know are pretty chill. They make pretty great friends because they are down for anything and tend to be the” mom” of the group. I'm not sure if some of these same qualities would be ideal for president, because they can be kind of a dictator if things start not going their way.
Libra
Ben Carson
Libras thrive in group settings, which might be ideal because from all “The West Wing” and “Scandal” I’ve watched, a president spends a lot of time with others. They always make sure that whoever they are in the room with feels comfortable and at home—super diplomatic and caring. Libras have tons of creative ideas, but have a hard time actually doing the work to implement those ideas. They can be vain and focused on appearance, but they have great taste, so they would always look great at photo-ops.
Virgo
Ted Cruz/Carly Fiorina/Chris Christie/Mike Huckabee
Virgos are honestly the best option for office. Some of these candidates may not be the best option for office, but true Virgos are what you need. For example: Ted Cruz is a Virgo, but was born on a “cusp”— if he had waited one more day to be born, he would have been a Libra. Virgos are Type-As, especially about school and work. If they were the leader of the free world, they would give all they have and excel at that job just like any other. They are analytical and picky, making them perfect decision makers.
Taurus
John Kasich
Honestly, I only know one Taurus really well and that’s my mom, so I obviously think a Taurus would be great at running a country since my mom was great at running my life for 18 years. They are known for being stubborn— they are represented by the bull— but are also incredibly generous. So, pretty much the best combination of not backing down, but also being super sweet and empathetic. They can however be extremely lazy and self-indulging depending on the day, so its 50/50 shot if they feel up to running the country that day.
Bottom Line:
Your best options this year for a Republican candidate is a Virgo, Aquarius and maybe Taurus. For sure, not a Gemini. The rest of the signs are iffy—most of them probably wouldn't fail, but wouldn't be as kick-a** as a Virgo.
