When the stress and boredom of reality gets to be too much, gaming will always be a perfect solution. Between the adrenaline-rushing adventure and immersive graphics, every zodiac sign has a video game that captures their entertainment needs.
Some gamers prefer adventurous role-playing games and first-person shooters that get your heart pumping. Others prefer sandbox games that titillate the imagination and allow you to unplug and relax. Either way, they’re a gamer through and through. And before you think you need to adhere to some imagined understanding of what a “gamer” is supposed to look like, let’s not forget that around 49% of gamers identify as a woman. The truth is, we’re all gamers, even if you haven’t played video games in a long time. All there is to it is picking up the controller again and pressing “Start”.
As someone who has played video games on and off all throughout my life, I can tell you that there’s nothing as alarming and exciting than knowing you’ve spent countless hours of your life playing a game. I personally spent weeks of my life playing the Assassins Creed series during the COVID-19 lockdown in 2020, but who’s counting?
If you’re in the mood to dissociate from real life for a while and dive into an alternate world, here’s the video game that aligns with your gaming interests the most, according to your sun sign, moon sign, rising sign and/or Mars sign:
Nothing gets a Mars-ruled Aries more excited than crime, car chases and flipping the bird at authority figures. That’s one reason why playing Grand Theft Auto V is such a great way for an Aries to left off steam, one wanted star at a time. They can do the worst things humanly imaginable, without technically breaking any laws or actually hurting anybody. It’s a win-win!
Let’s be real—Taurus just wants to chill. Ruled by sensual and luxurious Venus, Taurus just wants to lay around in comfy clothes and surround themselves with aesthetic pleasures. You’d be hard-pressed to find a Taurus who hasn’t played a sandbox game like Animal Crossing: New Horizons into oblivion. They’ll design the neighborhood of their dreams and kick you out of it when you annoy them.
Gemini is the gossipy and gregarious air sign that loves to watch drama unfold. That’s why The Sims is quite literally the most Gemini game of all time. Not only does a Gemini have full control over a neighborhood and the local dynamics between each household, they can even build their dream home and create an alternate version of themselves. And because Geminis are so self-deprecating, they’ll probably set their house on fire and WooHoo with the grim reaper too.
As soon as a Cancer gets through the devastating opening sequence of The Last of Us part I and sheds a few unexpected tears, you know they’re absolutely hooked. This game not only captures the dark, twisted and moody energy every moon-ruled Cancer secretly craves, but they’ll get incredibly sucked into the story. The emotionally complex characters will absolutely hook their way into a Cancers heart.
Every Leo loves being the hero of their own story. And by losing themselves in The Legend of Zelda for hours on end, it’s inevitable that some of Link’s gallant and heroic energy will rub off on them. Not only is the Kingdom of Hyrule beautiful enough to make a royal Leo feel right at home, but they’ll relate to Link’s savior complex and become addicted to the journey of rescuing Princess Zelda. Plus, the aesthetic is creative and whimsical, which is just to a sun-ruled Leo’s liking.
One thing a Virgo always looks for in a game is breathtaking details and intellectually challenging gameplay. For a Virgo, The Witcher III satisfies all fronts, thanks to its complex story telling, riveting dialogue options and a richly decorated universe. A Virgo will always appreciate the fact that this game was based on a series of fantasy novels (and remains faithful to the original story). Plus, Virgos always strive for perfection, and this game is regularly referred to as one of the greatest of all time.
Every Libra secretly has a fascination with all things horror, as they love balancing out dark and misunderstood energies. In Resident Evil 4, a Libra can defeat cultists who have kidnapped the U.S. President’s daughter, captivating their interest in psychological thrills, as well as the concept of justice. Plus, the innovative gameplay will immerses them right in a fashionably frightful world, allowing them to defeat their enemies face-to-face.
Taking place in the old days of the Wild West, in a remote desert setting, Scorpio will love nothing more than diving into the head of outlaw Arthur Morgan. Strategic in their gameplay, a Scorpio will love being able to play Red Dead Redemption II as sneakily as they desire, making their own choices and dealing with the consequences as the story progresses. Even in a video game, a vengeful Scorpio is a diehard believer in karma.
There’s nothing a Sagittarius wants more than to explore the great unknown and escape from reality through a daydream. If a Sagittarius hasn’t walked from one side of the map to the other in the world of Skyrim, they truly haven’t lived. A Sagittarius will be endlessly fascinated with all the different people, places and unexpected storylines they can become involved with. Will they choose the following the path of shadow, might or magic? Only a Sagittarius can answer that.
Capricorn is the zodiac sign of structure, tradition and authority, which is why they’ll loved the action-packed campaign in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II. They’ll love diving into special operations unit Task Force 141 as they attempt to take down a terrorist in possession of American-made ballistic missiles. They’ll also love playing the online multiplayer mode, where they can point, shoot and talk smack to all sorts of people, all over the world. Let’s not forget—Mars is exalted in Capricorn.
Aquarius is ruled by Uranus—planet of innovation and forward-thinking—in modern astrology, which is why they’re always playing the latest and greatest in the gaming world. Not only is Diablo 4 the hottest new release, but its darkly beautiful graphics and community-oriented open world will truly appeal to an Aquarius. Not only do they love being impressed by video games that take creative risks, but they also love having the option to play with their friends.
Pisces is the zodiac sign of nostalgia, spirituality and wonder, making Assassins Creed: Origins right up its alley. Pisces is naturally secretive and slick, which is why they’ll love being able to hide all over ancient Egypt and deliver lethal blows to their enemies sight unseen. Plus, this game will likely unlock a past life memory for a Pisces, as this video game franchise is as historically accurate and immersive as they come.
