In true Aquarian form, Jules innately belongs to no one and regularly disappears to a place where those who love her most can't follow.In Euphoria Season 2, the video of Cal and Jules continues to be an important part of the show. It's just that her story is much wider than the story of this one town. Jules is not, after all, without her humanity, despite often being oblivious about the emotions of others (Rue). In a way, they are because they impact and affect her.

From a distance, it can appear as if they are also a part of her story, Nate's anger, Cal's shame and violence, Rue's love. In this story, like wind carrying water, Jules carries the emotional turbulence of the other characters. In this story, she is a radiant being made partially of glitter and partially of pastel gauze. After all, the idea of a stranger, a girl from a different world, placed into a town where she doesn't belong reads like a YA novel called "Teen Aquarius." Well, maybe Jules is living in a YA novel called "Teen Aquarius" while simultaneously living in this story. Perhaps Jules being an Aquarius might be too on the nose.

At her most troubled, she is full of emotions she doesn't know how to express and a deep drive to go where none of those emotions can follow her. At her most fired up, she is full of Sagittarian facts, quips, and philosophical considerations. Rue gambles with her own life, and she's lucky enough to live through it time and time again. She is a secret romantic like all Sagittarians are, holding out for the one true thing which arrives in the form of Jules. She moves through her world like she's got one foot out of it, because she's not sure she belongs there-though, she's not sure where she belongs at all. Aesthetically, like most Sags, Rue can make even schlubby attire look cute because of her rascally charm. Rue exemplifies these Sagittarian aspects. The god of expansion, of luck and gambling, and the god of dreams, escapism, and altered states of consciousness. Sagittarians are ruled by Jupiter and, according to some, Neptune.

Perhaps that's why a Sagittarius is her most likely correlation. The signs they are matched with reflect the way they respond to their environments and how they embody their emotional turbulence in the context they are given.

The girls and women that make up Euphoria's landscape are not angels, but they are each other's witnesses and protectors, and caregivers. Consequently, the men of the show exemplify some of the worst behaviors of the signs they are matched with. Or, the men are at most villainous and at least ethically compromised. In Euphoria, the villains are mostly men. In fact, the best stories are the ones where the villain glimmers with the possibility of grace or something like redemption. That is why, when a story is good, when the characters are fleshed-out and well-considered (if not out-loud, then at least in the process of their making), we aren't able to cast stones at the characters we despise. I wanted, as most of us astrology writers do, to give my readers each at least one character to empathize with via a shared star sign, to understand the character with their sign as they would understand themselves-even if it meant not their best selves.Īstrology can serve us as a tool of compassion, and so, it appears, can storytelling. When thinking about the astrological signs of the characters of Euphoria, I ran into a conundrum.
