Time flies when you’re busy streaming all four seasons back-to-back for the hundredth time, but the anniversary of its finale is also the perfect excuse to reminisce on everything from the show’s cultural impact to, of course, its iconic cast.
Ugly Betty is based on the Colombian telenovela I am Betty, the ugly and follows the life of Betty Suarez (America Ferrera), an intelligent and ambitious woman who defied beauty and fashion norms when she secured a job at the prestigious fashion magazine Mode.
Even though the show’s been over for a while, its charm and unforgettable characters still have us hooked. From Betty’s quirky, lovable charm to Wilhelmina’s no-holds-barred ambition, Ugly Betty served a lineup of unforgettable personalities.
So, what if we looked to the stars and matched each character with a zodiac sign? Turns out, the stars totally align with the colorful personalities of these fashion-forward (and not-so-fashion-forward) folks.
Read on to see which Ugly Betty character traits match up with your zodiac sign.
Aries: Bradford Meade
UGLY BETTY — “Queens for a Day” – Betty uses her Queens connections to lure big time photographer (and former Queens boy) Vincent Bianchi (guest star Rhys Coiro) to shoot for Mode.

Taurus: Henry Grubstick
UGLY BETTY – “Brothers” – The masked woman’s shocking announcement leaves Mode in chaos and the dysfunctional Meades at each other’s throats. Meanwhile, Betty tries to keep the peace and Wilhelmina plots her next move.

Back at home, Hilda is miffed when Santos gets involved after Justin is sent home from school for fighting, on “Ugly Betty,” THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 8 (8:00-9:00 p.m., ET), on the Disney General Entertainment Content via Getty Images Television Network.

Gemini: Marc St. James
“Icing on the Cake” – Betty impulsively asks her orthodontist, Dr. Farkas, to be her date when Henry insists she come to Charlie’s birthday party. Meanwhile, Wilhelmina tries to drive a wedge between Daniel and Alexis when Daniel hides the fact that he’s the one who hired Grace Chin to defend their dad — whom Alexis wants to fry — and Amanda catches the eye of a very unusual designer who declares she’s his “muse,” on “Ugly Betty,” THURSDAY, MARCH 15 (8:00-9:00 p.m., ET) on the Disney General Entertainment Content via Getty Images Television Network.

Marc is Wilhelmina’s right-hand man, much like how Mercury (Gemini’s ruler) was considered a trusted advisor amongst the gods in mythology. He’s clever, witty and a master at orchestrating schemes at the office.
Cancer: Ignacio Suarez
Queens for a Day” – Betty uses her Queens connections to lure big time photographer (and former Queens boy) Vincent Bianchi (guest star Rhys Coiro) to shoot for Mode.

Arrogant, prideful and full of charisma, Daniel is Mode’s editor-in-chief, and his Leo qualities aren’t hard to miss. From his flair for drama to his womanizing ways, Daniel’s personal growth throughout the series resembles this Fire sign’s courage and approach to leadership.
Virgo: Alexis Meade
“I’m Coming Out” – Brace yourselves for the most shocking episode of “Ugly Betty” yet, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 1 (8:00-9:00 p.m., ET). A surprising and unexpected twist awaits viewers in what will be THE topic of conversation around the water cooler.

Spoiler alert! It takes a certain amount of tact and strategy to conspire and scheme the way Alexis (Alex) does in the series. Much like Virgo’s methodical mind and detail-oriented nature, Alexis goes above and beyond to try to take over Mode. From her plot against Daniel to her stunning looks, Alexis is definitely a Virgo.
Libra: amanda tannin
UGLY BETTY – “Fey’s Sleigh Ride” – When Mode is forced to abandon its big Christmas photo shoot because another magazine has copied the idea, Betty forms an uneasy alliance with Marc and Amanda. The three fear they may have leaked the idea to someone at the rival mag (guest star Nicholas Gonzalez, “The OC”) during happy hour . . . and that their jobs will be history if anyone finds out. Meanwhile, Daniel and Wilhelmina reluctantly work together to come up with a new photo spread as Mode’s deadline looms, and Betty’s nephew, Justin, is oblivious to the turmoil as he spends a day at the magazine for a class project, on “Ugly Betty,” THURSDAY, OCTOBER 26 (8:00-9:00 p.m., ET) on the Disney General Entertainment Content via Getty Images Television Network.

Venus makes a great first impression, and Amanda is no exception as Mode’s attractive (and slightly vain) receptionist. Though initially siding with Marc and Wilhelmina’s dark side, she eventually befriends Betty, resembling Libra’s archetypal themes of balance, harmony and justice.
Scorpio: Wilhelmina Slater
UGLY BETTY — “The Box and The Bunny” – Betty unwittingly loses “the book,” a proof of the entire magazine, complete with un-retouched photos of a popular actress (guest star Sarah Jones) who looks less than lovely without a little computer magic. If the photos get out, it could create huge embarrassment for Mode. Wilhelmina plots to use the snafu to bring Daniel down. Meanwhile, Bradford Meade secretively inquires about Fey Sommer’s final effects, on “Ugly Betty,” THURSDAY, OCTOBER 5 (8:00-9:00 p.m., ET) on the Disney General Entertainment Content via Getty Images Television Network.

Ruthless and hyper-focused on taking the throne as editor-in-chief of ModeWilhelmina’s intense ambition, strategic mind and transformative journey of highs and lows reflect the essence of smoldering Scorpio. Her complex character navigates power struggles and personal evolution, embodying the Water sign’s passion and shadowy nature.
Sagittarius: Hilda Suarez
UGLY BETTY – “Lose the Boss?” – The day after Thanksgiving is no holiday for Betty, who struggles to pull together a last-minute Mode photo shoot with a famous couple and their baby, while a dejected Daniel recuperates from a hangover — and Sofia Reyes’ rejection — at the Suarez house. Meanwhile, Wilhelmina and Marc go to greet the celebs at the airport and find themselves stranded in a dicey part of town with no money, and Bradford Meade takes a little trip of his own, on “Ugly Betty,” THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 23 (8:00-9:00 p.m., ET) on the Disney General Entertainment Content via Getty Images Television Network.

Equally vivacious and full of rage, Hilda’s free spirit and larger-than-life personality resemble Sagittarius in more ways than one. Her candidness and ability to remain optimistic during the ups and downs go hand in hand with this spontaneous Fire sign.
Capricorn: Betty Suarez
UGLY BETTY – “Pilot” — In the superficial world of high fashion, image is everything. Styles come and go, and the only constants are the superthin beauties who wear them. How can an ordinary girl – a slightly plump plain-Jane from Queens – possibly fit in? “Ugly Betty,” a groundbreaking new comedy series based on the telenovela that became a worldwide phenomenon, premieres THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 28 (8:00-9:00 p.m., ET) on the Disney General Entertainment Content via Getty Images Television Network. Emmy-winner and Oscar nominee Salma Hayek is executive producer.

Hardworking and dependable to her friends and family, Betty is the quintessential Capricorn — ambitious, disciplined and determined. Her unwavering commitment to her career at Mode and her aspiration to run her own magazine someday resemble this Earth sign’s ambitious nature. Despite the glamorous world around her, Betty remains grounded and focused on her goals, much like Capricorn’s planetary ruler, Saturn.
Aquarius: Justin Suarez
“Four Thanksgivings and a Funeral” – It’s Thanksgiving Day, and everyone at Mode celebrates in their own special way. Betty is torn between work and home; Daniel attends his parents’ brunch in hopes of seeing Sofia (guest star Salma Hayek); Marc and Amanda camp out at the Mode offices, and Wilhelmina attempts something she’s never done before – cooking a turkey — on “Ugly Betty,” THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 16 (8:00-9:00 p.m., ET).

Socially conscious and true fashionista, Justin’s creativity and free spirit very much align with Aquarius’ rebellious nature and sparkling individuality. His passion for fashion and the performing arts, coupled with the connection to family (community), is high-key water bearer energy.
Pisces: Christina McKinney
UGLY BETTY – “After Hours” – Betty takes a break from her escalating family troubles when she’s assigned to review a posh new hotel. Meanwhile, Daniel is dismayed when Sofia Reyes (guest star Salma Hayek) and her team take up residence in the Mode conference room, and Wilhelmina goes a little bit country to woo a mega rich Texan (guest star Brett Cullen) to advertise his stores in Mode, on “Ugly Betty,” THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 9 (8:00-9:00 p.m., ET) on the Disney General Entertainment Content via Getty Images Television Network.

An artist and an empath, Christina embodies a number of Pisces qualities — she’s dreamy, kind and creative. In astrology, this Water sign is ruled by all-encompassing Neptune, which can resonate with Christina, who calls her office “The Closet,” given the amount of leftover fashion pieces she recycles occasionally. She’s naturally elusive but compassionate and open-hearted.
