Since 1923, Disney has captivated audiences with animated films—in fact, they were among the first to combine live actors with cartoon characters. Recognizing the appeal of animation, Disney built a legacy of fairy tale adaptations, historical reimaginings, and original stories. The Disney princesses, in particular, have become globally recognized. Many of us grew up with the classic princesses, while younger generations are getting to know new ones.
These characters are designed to inspire and relate to us, and it's easy to see parts of ourselves in their traits. Read on to discover which Disney princess best matches your zodiac sign.
Disney Princesses by Zodiac Sign
Aquarius – Moana, Moana
Moana is a natural Aquarius: strong-willed and driven to better the lives of those around her. True to this Air sign, she avoids playing it safe and tackles obstacles with creative solutions. Like Moana, Aquarians find fulfillment through selflessness, resilience in adversity, and a drive to succeed.
Pisces – Snow White, Snow White & the Seven Dwarves
Snow White embodies Pisces with her generous and open spirit. Like the second zodiac sign, she is deeply compassionate and happiest when caring for those who care for her in return. Their trusting nature and desire to help can sometimes lead to trouble, but both Snow White and Pisces know when to stay low-key and avoid confrontation to protect their sensitive sides.
Aries – Mulan, Mulan
Only an Aries would have the will and resolve to face an entire army, making Mulan the clear representative for this sign. Decisive and bold, Mulan doesn't let anyone stop her from achieving her goals. She has the heart of a warrior—fitting for a fire sign ruled by Mars—and confidently takes risks to protect what she loves. Like Aries, she is a great leader who inspires those around her.
Taurus – Rapunzel, Tangled
Rapunzel shares much with this Earth sign: both are eager to prove their strength and ability to make good decisions. Their resolve might be mistaken for stubbornness, but little can sway a Taurus or Rapunzel from their goals. When their considerable intellect is focused on getting what they want, watch out—their calm and kind nature makes Taurus and Rapunzel likable powerhouses.
Gemini – Ariel, The Little Mermaid
Though she lives under the sea, Ariel is very much an Air sign; her dislike of the mundane and thirst for knowledge make her a distinct Gemini. Like Ariel, curiosity and the lure of adventure drive a Gemini, so there's never a dull moment. However, that inability to settle and reflect can sometimes lead both Gemini and Ariel to miss what's right in front of them—both good and bad.
Cancer – Cinderella, Cinderella
Cinderella is a true Cancer: kind, forgiving, and humble. While this sign's giving nature can make them easy to take advantage of, like Cinderella, Cancer will always find support and acceptance from those they've helped in the past. Perhaps a little quick to fall in love and then retreat when things aren't perfect, having their trust in a person proven right is what wins over Cinderella—and Cancer too.
Leo – Merida, Brave
Regal, stubborn, and, well, brave, Merida is the most leonine of the Disney princesses. While it can be hard for both Leo and Merida to curb their impulsive natures or let others be right, their confidence in their abilities is inspiring and one of their best qualities. Though pride is often the downfall of this fire sign and character, the saving grace for both is their unwavering loyalty and ability to love fiercely.
Virgo – Belle, Beauty & the Beast
What character better embodies a Virgo than Belle? Intelligent and independent, she is an earth sign to the core—though, in true Virgo fashion, this can sometimes read as 'aloof'. With her devotion to family and willingness to sacrifice for those she loves, Belle embodies the best traits of a Virgo. The sincerity that Belle brings to all that she does is what allows her to thrive, much like her zodiac counterpart.
Libra – Pocahontas, Pocahontas
Invested in peace, with a flair for diplomacy and drama, there is no character that represents Libra more than Pocahontas. Often called upon for their rationality and ability to see both points of view, this air sign is a perfect match for Pocahontas, who is both free-spirited and unafraid of taking risks, but also a compassionate mediator. This balance of challenger and protector is the ultimate Libra personality.
Scorpio – Elsa, Frozen
Let it go? Not likely for this Water sign and their corresponding princess. Like most Scorpios, Elsa is perceived as distant or secretive by strangers—and just like her zodiac counterpart, this hides a deep need for acceptance and security. Creative and sensitive, it's easy for both Scorpio and Elsa to be misunderstood as loners. Once you break past the icy exterior, though, there's a deep reserve of empathy to be found.
Sagittarius – Jasmine, Aladdin
Anyone willing to get on a flying carpet with a stranger must be a Sagittarius, and Jasmine is the perfect character for this sign. Adventurous and independent, both archer and princess are not very fond of conformity or responsibility. While Jasmine has royal obligations that most Sagittarius would balk at, like a true fire sign, she manages to get what she wants in the end with her ingenuity and persuasive spirit.
Capricorn – Tiana, The Princess & the Frog
With a dream of owning a business and the resolve to work from the bottom up, Tiana is a classic Capricorn. This assertive earth sign is logical, resourceful, and has vast reserves of willpower—all traits that come in handy whether you're magically transformed into a frog or angling for a promotion at work. Even with all that ambition, there's still time for romance and happiness for both Tiana and Capricorn.
