Madoka Magica is one of the most popular magical girl series in anime. It was the first to take a darker spin on the magical girl genre, creating a world where having a wish come true always comes with a price.
Even though becoming a magical girl isn't what it seems to be on the surface, many fans still relate to the characters, which is why it's so easy to sympathize with the girls in the show. With their unique personalities, different Madoka characters can be matched with different Zodiac signs to see which character a sign is most like.
12 Aries: Kyoko
Aries signs pair well with Kyoko because both give off fiery passionate energy. When she's first introduced in the anime, Kyoko is always looking to get into a fight and seems stubborn in her viewpoints to distance herself from those who try to get close to her. Once she begins to trust her friends, however, she is incredibly kind and believes that love and courage are the most important parts of life. Aries signs can relate to her philosophy of battling things out to come out on top.
11 Taurus: Iroha
Iroha is the main protagonist of Magia Record, a recent spinoff of the original Madoka anime based on a mobile game of the same name. Iroha is kind and patient and never has a temper. She's much more level-headed and calm than many of the other magical girls. Like a Taurus, Iroha is patient in getting to understand others and is incredibly loyal to those she loves. However, Iroha can be headstrong or stubborn at times, especially when it comes to discovering information about the disappearance of her little sister, Ui.
10 Gemini: Nagisa
Nagisa Momoe is a good match for the carefree, high-spirited Gemini sign because of her innocent, childlike personality. Nagisa appears in the Madoka Rebellion movie. Like Nagisa, Geminis love to be whimsical and free. A Gemini would likely make a similar wish to Nagisa when becoming a magical girl: Nagisa wished to eat cheesecake with her mom one last time and loves everything about cheese.
Nagisa doesn't play a major part in the series in her magical girl form, but she also appears as the cute creature Bebe and as the witch Charlotte, who is notorious for what she does to Mami during their battle.
9 Cancer: Felicia
As a water sign, Cancers are deeply connected to their emotions, and they always refer to how their heart feels when making important decisions. Felicia is extremely ruled by her emotions, as seen in her fighting style. She detests witches for what they did to her mom and dad, and she vows to kill every witch there is to get revenge. Even her wish was focused solely on killing witches, since her emotions were rampant as Kyubey made a contract with her. A lot of the time, she dives into battle recklessly, as she is more in tune with her feelings than with logical reasoning.
8 Leo: Sayaka
Leos are the most courageous sign in the Zodiac and care about protecting and fighting for what they love above all else. Sayaka's decision to become a magical girl to save Madoka shows just how loyal she is to her friends. She loves being a hero, and at first, is thrilled to be a magical girl who can hunt witches and save others. Leos also love to be the center of attention and to be praised for their actions. Sayaka shows this in her dismay after her feelings aren't returned by her crush, who she used her wish on so that he could play the violin again.
7 Virgo: Madoka
Virgos, like Tauruses, are people who are grounded and level-headed, even when everything seems to be chaos. They have a lot of room for love in their hearts and are incredibly supportive and loyal friends. Madoka has the biggest heart of all, which is seen in her decision to save all magical girls from their horrible fate.
Madoka is quiet and caring and is rational in waiting to become a magical girl since she knew her wish had to be important enough. When she does discover her wish, she shows a Virgo-like quality of taking action immediately. Once her heart is set on her choice, not even Homura's pleading can keep her from doing what she believes is right.
6 Libra: Tsuruno
Libras are one of the most fun signs to be around because of their positive outlook on life and their extroverted personalities. In Magia Record, Tsuruno helps run her family's Chinese food restaurant and is always full of energy and enthusiasm for her work. She also brings this zest into her personal life, as seen in how optimistic and excited she always is when she's with Yachiyo, Iroha, and her other friends. She is one of the first people to make Iroha feel welcome in Kanihama city due to her friendly demeanor.
5 Scorpio: Homura
Homura is one of the most mysterious characters of the anime. As soon as she enters the story, her actions and coldness towards others make her stand out due to her darker outlook on life. Scorpios are very intense people who don't let people into their secrets easily. Still, they are very emotionally in-tune and can manipulate a situation to go how they want. Homura's ability to stop time gives her the power to control any aspect of life that she wants, and she uses this ability, again and again, to try and achieve her ultimate goal of saving Madoka.
4 Sagittarius: Mami
Sagittarians are independent souls who love to live wild and free. At the same time, they are caring, and often take on the role of being a mentor for others. Mami embraces the self-sufficient life that she lives. Though she does admit to getting lonely, she is happy to make friends with Madoka and Sayaka and is quick to take them under her wing when explaining to them what it's like being a magical girl.
Sagittarians love to travel and live their lives to the fullest, and Mami's experience as a magical girl shows that she has done a lot to learn all that she knows.
3 Capricorn: Yachiyo
Capricorns are down to earth and like to think realistically rather than through imagination or dreams. Their business-forward attitude and professional appearance often make them seem more mature than other signs. Yachiyo is an older, wiser magical girl in the Magia Record anime. She has been a magical girl for a long time, and learns from her past experiences, allowing them to influence her future decisions. She seems a bit cold when Iroha first meets her, but that's because she wants to make sure the other girl is safe from the dangers of Kanihama city.
2 Aquarius: Kyubey
Aquarians love the bizarre parts of life, from unique ways of thinking to believing in aliens. Their strange personalities often make them seem distant or aloof, but this is because their heads are always whirling with thoughts and ideas. Not only is Kyubey an alien, but this furry creature is very intelligent in a way that others don't immediately see. Kyubeys look cute and fluffy but also holds a depth of mystery and intrigue. Despite Kyubey's dubious reasonings and behaviors, Aquarians are similar to the way that Kyubey is always thinking in terms of the entire universe at once.
1 Pisces: Sana
Pisces are always dreaming whether awake or asleep. They tend to be very introverted, and believe that it's what on the inside that counts above all else. They prefer quality over quantity in terms of friendship because they love to form deep relationships with everyone important to them. Sana has a troubled past because of how her family treated her. She often felt invisible to others and dreamed of escaping into a quieter, kinder world. She does so for a while living in AI but soon becomes closer to real people who will help her open up and explore what's in her heart.
