Amazon Prime’s The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel is a fabulous series, from the astonishing outfits to Midge’s (Rachel Brosnahan) hilarious stand-up. The characters are funny in their own way, stylish, and trying their best in the sometimes tough 1950s world of New York City.
The big, exuberant personalities of this wonderful series all fit into the zodiac sign framework. Everyone from a shy Virgo to a homebody Cancer will be able to see themselves in one of the beloved characters on The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.
Aries: Penny Pann
Joel cheats on Midge with Penny (Holly Curran), and although he tries to have an actual relationship with her, his parents really hate her.
Penny gets mad quite easily, just like a fiery Aries sign, and she really wants to take Midge’s place in Joel’s life.
Taurus: Zelda
Zelda (Matilda Szydagis) is the housekeeper who works for Midge’s family, and she’s a funny, tough woman who does her best to run the household.
Zelda seems most like a Taurus sign as she possesses their signature stubbornness. She does things her way and she can butt heads with the family, but that’s why her time on the series is so funny.
Gemini: Benjamin Ettenberg
Benjamin (Zachary Levi) is a sweet, smart love interest of Midge’s. He’s a doctor who sounds like a Gemini, as these signs have a curious nature and like to get to know interesting people.
Geminis fall in love slowly, as they want to spend time with someone and talk to them a lot before jumping into a relationship, and that’s exactly what Benjamin does with Midge.
Cancer: Abe Weissman
Midge’s dad Abe (Tony Shalhoub) is an adorable, charming bookworm and academic. Like other Cancer signs, he likes staying at home, he isn’t always in a positive mood, and he often doesn’t get along with strangers. While some love striking up a conversation with people they’ve never met, that’s just not Abe.
Cancer signs have strong gut instincts and can be nostalgic, which is definitely how Abe approaches his career and family life.
Leo: Midge Maisel
Midge is definitely a Leo, as she’s wild, brave, bold, and colorful. She lives to be the center of attention and that seems like one reason why she has taken to stand-up comedy so well.
Midge is often in a good mood, like Leo signs typically are, and she has an incredible sense of humor. But when people don’t pay a lot of attention to her or don’t think that she’s special, she definitely gets upset.
Virgo: Joel Maisel
Midge’s ex-husband Joel (Michael Zegen) tries to be a good guy but after their break-up, she starts to realize that he’s a pretty weak person. Joel has a lot of Virgo traits as he’s a very clean, neat person who cares about working, making money, and providing for his family.
Joel can be shy and he doesn’t want to be the center of attention, so he’s pretty much the opposite of Midge.
Libra: Sophie Lennon
Famous comedian Sophie Lennon (Jane Lynch) can hold a grudge and feel sorry for herself, so she sounds like a Libra since this is something this zodiac sign can do.
Sophie sets out to sabotage Midge and it’s pretty horrible to watch, although of course, Midge shouldn’t have told everyone her big secret. Sophie has other Libra traits, like being artistic and having trouble fitting into acceptable molds .
Scorpio: Susie Myerson
Midge’s manager, Susie (Alex Borstein) is brash but usually right about what it takes to succeed in the world of stand-up comedy. She’s a total Scorpio as she’s a passionate person whose temper can flare for almost no reason.
Scorpios have some positive traits, like being good friends to people they care about, which Susie is to Midge. But Scorpios (and Susie) are also emotional and have trouble admitting that they’re wrong or changing their mind about something.
Sagittarius: Rose Weissman
Midge’s mother Rose (Marin Hinkle) is a true Sagittarius. Anyone with born under this sign can relate to how much she loves to travel. It’s a bit surprising when Rose runs away to Paris, but it explains how dissatisfied she is with her typical and boring housewife life.
Sagittarius signs are philosophical and they don’t like when people put them into tight and rigid boxes.
Capricorn: Moishe Maisel
Joel’s dad Moishe (Kevin Pollak) is a Capricorn, as he’s a very traditional family man. He runs his own clothing business and seems burdened by providing for his wife and Joel, although he loves them dearly.
Capricorns can be conceited and they can also seem like they hate everyone, and this is totally Moishe’s disposition.
Aquarius: Lenny Bruce
Luke Kirby’s Maisel character, Lenny Bruce, is a famous comedian who Midge comes across a few times throughout the series. Aquarius signs can be silent but they also have a loud side, making them a bit mysterious and even confusing.
Lenny fits into this zodiac sign as he can wow a crowd onstage but seems more subdued in his everyday life.
Pisces: Imogene Cleary
Imogene (Bailey De Young) is Midge’s bestie who tries really hard to support her friend through all the changes in her life. She’s often in a good mood but seems like the most emotional of all the characters, making her a Pisces.
Pisces signs have good gut instincts and care a lot about people. They’re very romantic, artistic, nice people, which sounds exactly like sweet Imogene.
