There’s something undeniably timeless about Sesame Street.
For over 50 years, it’s been the morning soundtrack of childhood, making its bright colors, belly laughs and sing-along tunes a cozy ritual for many.
Whether you were learning numbers with the Count, giggling at Elmo’s hysterical chaos or simply wondering how Oscar could be that grouchy before lunchtime, the show never ceased to teach the world to be kind, accepting and more importantly, to stay curious.
From New York City stoops to living rooms around the globe, Sesame Street has become more than a TV show over the years. It’s a world where everyone belongs.
Much like the zodiac, each character has their unique quirks, flaws and charm, somehow making it all fit perfectly together. So if you’ve ever wondered which resident of 123 Sesame Street mirrors your zodiac archetype, you’ve come to the right place.
Read on for which Sesame Street character you are most like based on your zodiac sign.
Aries: Elmo

Nobody does chaotic enthusiasm like an Aries, and nobody is more chaotic or enthusiastic than Elmo. Bursting into every scene with pure Fire-sign energy, Elmo is the boost of serotonin you never knew you needed.
Taurus: Snuffleupagus

Soft and ever-so comforting, Snuffy embodies Taurus energy in more ways than just his love for taking naps. He’s gentle, loyal and thoughtful, much like this Earth sign, often putting his friends first.
Gemini: Grover

Like Gemini, Grover is curious and talkative with a wide range of skills. When he’s not “Super Grover,” he’s a waiter learning on the job. Forever overstimulated, his smarts and multifacetedness very much resemble this Air sign.
Cancer: Big Bird

Tender, sensitive and emotionally attuned to everyone around him, Big Bird resembles the essence of Cancer with his kindness and nurturing spirit. He also has a very vivid imagination, much like this moon-ruled sign.
Leo: Zoe

Loud, sparkly, dramatic and full of heart, Leo couldn’t be anyone but Zoe. She is pure sunshine in dance shoes, demanding to be seen and you can’t help but adore her.
Virgo: Bert

From his alphabetized bottle-cap collection to the color-coded paper clips, Bert couldn’t be more like this Earth sign. The side-eye to Ernie’s chaos? So Virgo. But beneath his precision is genuine devotion.
Libra: Abby Cadabby

Sweet, poised and sprinkled with fairy dust, Abby embodies Libra energy effortlessly. Just like this Venus-ruled sign, she flutters between worlds with grace, waving her magic wand until it feels harmonious again.
Scorpio: Oscar the Grouch

Dark humor? Check. Cynicism? Check. Oscar’s grouchy shell hides a strangely tender soul, which is classic Scorpio. Like this Pluto-ruled sign, he thrives in the shadows (or, you know, a trash can), but once you’re in his inner circle, he’s a ride-or-die friend.
Sagittarius: Ernie

Ernie is the good-natured jokester of Sesame Street, just as your friendly neighborhood Sagittarius would be. The eternal optimist, he finds joy in the mundane, reminding us that life is supposed to be fun, a quality this Jupiter-ruled sign, too, shares.
Capricorn: Count Von Count

Structured and disciplined, the Count is basically Saturn in puppet form. Every Capricorn secretly thrives on measurable progress, and what’s more “measurable” than counting everything? He’s living proof that mastery can still be theatrical.
Aquarius: Rosita

Rosita is fluent in multiple languages, resembling this forward-thinking and inclusive Air sign. She’s also the first bilingual character on Sesame Street, resembling Aquarius’ progressive mind and innovative spirit.
Pisces: Cookie Monster

Let’s face it, Cookie Monster has no boundaries… and well, neither does Pisces. His insatiable cookie cravings know no bounds, resembling this Neptune-ruled sign’s ability to blur the lines between dreams and reality.
