The Money Heist Character You Are Based On Your Zodiac Sign

Starting life as the underrated "La casa de papel" on Spanish television, "Money Heist" has become one of Netflix's bigger recent hits after it relaunched on the streaming service. Chronicling a group of thieves attempting to rob the Royal Mint of Spain, and later the Bank of Spain, it has become an international sensation. So much so that the red jumpsuits and Dali masks the group wears have been spotted at everything from protests to Halloween parties.

A big part of the success of "Money Heist" is in its diverse cast of characters. The group has largely remained together throughout the five parts of the series, expanding a bit to include some new additions. Each of them is unique, carrying strong strengths and weaknesses — similar, in a way, to the signs of the zodiac. Much like the characters in "Money Heist," each sign permits a template that will practically predict an individual's response to a given situation — as well as if they are uniquely suited to triumph, or get taken out.

With that in mind, here is a cross-analysis of the characters you love and the character you were born with. Select your birth date, and see which "Money Heist" malcontent is your spirit animal.

A fixed earth sign ruled by Venus, Taurus is strongly related to a well-defined series of qualities. Two frequent characteristics used to describe the zodiac sign include stubbornness and pragmatism. 

A Taurean will almost certainly stick to their guns and fixate on their own way of doing things, yet they can also be level-headed and realistic about what they are able to do. They have a sensible nature while also being very dependable. This makes them great teammates or colleagues, especially when the going gets tough. Of course, those born under this sign are not entirely focused on work; they are able to enjoy some of the finer things in life and have a somewhat sensual personality.

Considering all of the Taurean traits above, one character that jumps out as the best fit is Alicia Sierra (Najwa Nimri) from the third, fourth, and fifth parts. The merciless, determined police officer investigates the gang and attempts to prevent them from robbing the Bank of Spain. She is fixated on her task and displays a disposition to get the result she wants at any cost. Alicia even shows how smart she is by discovering where the Professor's (Álvaro Morte) hideout is. But by Part 5, the character mellows and starts to show a more caring side, as she gives birth to a daughter.

Cancer is a water sign most heavily connected to the idea of being overly-emotional. This can lead to Cancers being volatile and excitable, losing control of their tempers from time to time; on the flip side, it can also mean that those born under this sign are deeply loving and devoted to their friends and families — protecting them above all else. 

The sensitive nature of Cancers allows them to show an element of introspection and thoughtfulness about their actions. Like the crab that represents the sign, they can appear to be cold and distant at first, but once you get under that hard shell they make great companions.

Out of all the main characters in "Money Heist," it is Rio (Miguel Herrán) that most closely symbolizes Cancer. He is sensitive and caring, displaying a strong love for Tokyo in their time together. The youngest member of the gang, he is probably the biggest worrier too. He spends much of his time second guessing his decisions and has an innocence about him, which has landed him in trouble. This has been particularly true when he has become too trustful of those around him. Like other Cancers, Rio struggles with opening up, sometimes requiring someone to protect him from himself.

The Virgo sign is one closely linked with innocence and goodness. Many of those born under this sign will be pure hearted and empathetic, caring for those around them. Virgos are also humble and self-effacing, preferring to stay out of the limelight wherever possible. They will generally be hard working and practical thinkers, using a curious mind to get answers and uncover the truth. The logical mind of the Virgo also gives them a better sense of events, making them great planners who can see the big picture and not get bogged down in the little details.

Many of those qualities could be used to describe Nairobi (Alba Flores) in "Money Heist." She takes on the role of a mother figure for the group, keeping them focused on their jobs and protecting them. She is easily the most caring and loving of the main characters, and takes a no-nonsense approach to her role. Nairobi also adds an element of order to the chaos of the heists, using her objectivity to remain a voice of reason throughout the series.

Along with Aries, Scorpio is one of the darker signs of the zodiac. Those born under this particular sign often have an aggressive side to their personality, although that does not necessarily mean that they will be violent or evil. One thing is certain, however: Scorpios are incredibly passionate. They have a fire burning inside them and a temperamental nature. This can make them intensely loyal to their loved ones, although those who do not know them may find them intimidating, at least at first.

Tokyo (Úrsula Corberó) fits this sign almost perfectly. She is intense, with a fiery temper that can explode at the flick of a switch. The character is staunchly independent and refuses to let others intimidate her, something that has led to more than a few arguments with the rest of the gang. Like any good Scorpio, Tokyo is also able to use her sensual nature to her advantage — bending men to her will using natural beauty and charm. But her darker side has been evident multiple times as well, like when she left Rio on an island at the start of Part 3.

Capricorn is an earth sign of the zodiac, and that means they have attributes that one would typically equate with physical qualities. That makes them dependable and grounded, unlikely to get carried away by events. Capricorns are incredibly hard working, arguably the most focused and determined of the entire zodiac. With a self reliant, ambitious personality, those born under this sign are great leaders, especially when you consider their calmness in chaotic situations. They are desired life partners and friends, as they will always go the extra mile and never give up.

The traits that best describe Capricorn fit with the Professor (Álvaro Morte). He is the leader of the gang of thieves, and the ultimate mastermind behind the events of the series. This demonstrates his reasoning and strategic thinking, as he can plan ahead while his unyielding attitude shows his resolve. The Professor does everything he can to keep the group safe, caring for them in his own way. Above all else, the Professor is someone who knows what he wants and how to get it, making him a perfect match with the Capricorn zodiac sign.

Pisces is a water sign and like Scorpio and Cancer, it is mutable in its essence. That means those born under this sign are able to adapt quickly to situations. Pisceans are often spiritual beings, filled with compassion, and a great deal of empathy for those around them. They can understand emotions and read people, making them ideal people to have around in emergency situations where things can get out of hand. Their level-headedness and ability to balance out the bad with the good ensures they should have a role in any team.

There is little doubt that Stockholm (Esther Acebo) is the Pisces of the group. She is both kind and caring, always looking out for everyone else in the gang. In many ways, she is the mother figure that keeps everything together in a crisis and tries to keep everyone focused on what they have to do. In the early parts of "Money Heist" she was a hostage herself, but joined them when she chose to escape the heist rather than stay behind. This is further confirmation of her Piscean nature, as she made a huge change in her life without being forced to do so.
