Throughout the HBO series Game Of Thrones, a multitude of characters played their roles in the fight for power over Westeros. Some had high ambitions that shook up the playing field, while others tried to stay away from the chaos but were inevitably pulled in. For fans, it was fascinating to watch how every group fit into the story, almost like rooting for teams in a medieval sporting event, except with less regulated rules and more drama.
The Houses throughout Westeros were developed enough to become familiar characters As the world-building progressed, the qualities of each House stood out more. So, it can be fun to decide which House a fan belongs to, and there's no better way to decide than to look to one's zodiac sign.
12 Aquarians Fight For What They Believe In Like House Stark
House Stark has ruled over the North with a balance of humility and strength. Like Aquarians, the Starks can be friendly without overextending their hand. However, a Stark or Aquarius will fight back if someone crosses them. Both the star sign and the family tend to be very deep thinkers, though the youngest generation of Starks had to learn that the hard way.
From handling the Lannister's incestual scandal to deciding where they stand in the fight for the Iron Throne, the Starks carefully make their decisions with their own interests in mind. Their main focus is surviving with the best outcome, proven in their very humbling motto "Winter is coming."
11 Pisces Are Always Trying To Help, Like House Arryn
House Arryn has served the Seven Kingdoms for millennia. Jon Arryn, former head of the House, was the epitome of what the House was supposed to be. But along the way, trust and loyalty were taken advantage of. In a similar fashion, the same happens to even the most earnest of Pisces.
House Arryn followed other Houses into battle, even when the battle seemed impossible. Jon Arryn supported House Baratheon against the Mad King, Aerys Targaryen. After a fall from grace, thanks to Petry Baelish's scheming, they resumed that role as support when they aided the Starks in the battle for Winterfell. Pisces will find similarities with House Arryn in how they are always ready to provide help but might be blind to their devotion. Thankfully, both the House and the sign have the endurance to outlast any dark times.
10 Aries Aim High And Fight Hard Like House Lannister
One of the richest and most powerful families, the Lannisters boldly claw their way to power by manipulating, bribing, and making smart decisions, even if their morality is poor. This family wasn't always powerful but thanks to the efforts of Tywin Lannister, the family rose to power with the most beneficial allegiances. The way the Lannisters fight to make it out on top is identical to an Aries' competitive nature.
Like the Lannisters, Aries are passionate, ambitious, and they will not stop reaching for their goals. As strategic and organized as House Lannister can be, each member is also reckless like an Aries. No matter what it is they are seeking, both House Lannister and Aries will charge ahead with determination.
9 A Taurus' Devotion Can Only Be Matched By House Tarly
Though there aren't many scenes with the Tarlys, the major trait of this House is their reliable military strength. Despite how small the Tarly name may be in Game Of Thrones, their army is sought after. The brute strength and perseverance that mark the Tarlys are identical traits among Tauruses.
House Tarly is reliable like a Taurus, but not without their own dependence on supportive allegiances. As much as they need others, they aren't without an unshakable loyalty. When the head of the House has his loyalty to Queen Cersei put to the test, he chooses death over betrayal. No matter what the challenge is, both a Tarly and a Taurus are the most dependable and devoted.
8 Gemini Know How To Balance Their Needs With Others' Like House Martell
House Martell was the one ruling family that was able to resist being taken over by the Targaryens, securing their own independence. Their resourcefulness allowed them to overcome battles for millennia and freely choose their allies. The Martell's balance between their love for freedom and sociable nature with other Houses makes them similar to Geminis.
Many among House Martell possess a distracting charm that they show until the truth of their intentions and their serious side is revealed. Oberyn charmed his way into the small council - not because he wanted to support the Iron Throne, but because he aimed to avenge his sister. Both Gemini and House Martell can seem friendly and fun on the surface, but what's going through their minds is a mystery until they decide to show someone.
7 Cancers Struggle Between Giving And Taking Much Like House Clegane
In spite of Gregor Clegane/The Mountain's reputation for violence and hostility, there is a positive charm to House Clegane. The Cleganes were given power by the Lannisters after the family founder saved Tytos Lannister, the head of House Lannister at the time. The founder was knighted by Tytos. Ever since then, the Cleganes have supported and protected the Lannisters.
There's a contradiction of traits among the Cleganes of resentment versus protection and selfishness versus sentimentality, which are qualities of Cancers. Cancers bounce back and forth between loving and using others in a similar way that House Clegane does. Their sense of loyalty is strong overall, though one side is for selfish reasons while the other is for endearing reasons.
6 Leos Are Too Stubborn To Quit Just Like House Baratheon
After taking control from Aerys Targaryen, the Baratheons rose to power as the new royal house of the Seven Kingdoms. Much of House Baratheon's moves are unpredictable. Stubbornness is one of the many traits that mark a Leo and is seen across all family members.
Self-confident and determined, both Leos and the Baratheons are natural-born leaders who aim to rule with strength and honesty. They all have their earnest reasons for striving for the top, but a sense of arrogance and pride stands in their way.
5 Virgos Aim To Please Like House Tully
Throughout its history, House Tully has given immense support to other Houses, especially House Stark, which they supported throughout the War of the Five Kings. Beloved by their people, House Tully maintained the safety of their lands. Similar to Virgos, the Tullys are incredibly reliable and calm as they think through their decisions carefully.
Both Virgos and House Tully are kind to those they serve but have a rather hard time showing their own emotions. They try to make things as perfect as they can for themselves and especially for those they care about, but they have to accept that not everything goes according to plan.
4 Libras Balance Fairness With Self-Interest Like House Tyrell
Before this Great House's extinction, they were very dependent on other houses. Although, in recent events, they have strived for their own power in King's Landing. House Tyrell has served more powerful Houses for centuries, and they appeared to continue that tradition by following the rule of House Lannister and gaining power. This desire for power through charm and silent manipulation is very much like a Libra.
Both the Tyrells and Libras are generally fair with a hint of manipulation. They can be vain, charming, social, and selfless. This slow rise to power makes them different from more aggressive Houses. However, that doesn't make them a good player in the chaotic game for the Iron Throne.
3 Scorpios Have Dangerous Passion Like House Targaryen
Centuries before the War of the Five Kings, Aegon Targaryen took over the West, much like Daenerys would in later years. Both Targaryen conquerors share the same contradicting benevolence and ruthlessness, traits that can be found among Scorpios.
The Targaryens are known for their strength and their passion, which can either be heroic or disastrous. The same can be said of Scorpios who seek out love but not at the cost of their independence. They can be dominant and intimidating. Friends of this House and star sign shouldn't threaten them as they will fight back with full force.
2 Sagittarians Are As Bold As House Greyjoy
House Greyjoy has a history of betraying allies for the sake of their own independence and refusing to act in service of other Houses. Their independence is most important to them, a sentiment shared by Sagittarians. Like House Greyjoy, a Sagittarian can offend very easily as they are painfully honest, and holding one down is nearly impossible as they are so restless and rebellious.
When either the House or sign chooses their allies, they are friendly, supportive, and tenacious fighters when they believe in what they are fighting for. They are unpredictable, so it's better to make them an ally than an enemy.
1 Capricorns Are Prepared For Any Challenge Like House Mormont
House Mormont has been loyal to the Starks for centuries. Unlike other loyal houses, they aren't blindly led by the rule of others. The former Lady of the House (Lyanna Mormont) ruled with discipline, strength, and loyalty to her people - qualities that mark Capricorns.
Both the Mormonts and Capricorns are practical and realistic in their approaches, their goals, and with others. They won't hold back on any criticism, but give credit where credit is due. This is proved when Lyanna called out the other Northern families for not supporting House Stark when they were in need. No matter how challenging an obstacle is, Mormonts and Capricorns are persistent and stubborn enough to make it through.
