Fans have delved deep into the cozy and welcoming world of Virgin River on Netflix and have become fascinated by not only the stunning locations that the show is shot in, but also the layered and complex characters on the show. Virgin River is a tiny town crammed full of big personalities.
With the star-crossed lovers, Jack and Mel, Virgin River fans can't help but wonder about the astrological leanings of Hope, Doc, Paige, and the other townspeople that they have so come to love. Each with their own tragic pasts, unrealized dreams, and sinister mysteries, where do the characters sit on the celestial spectrum, and which character are you?
Aries: Doctor Mullins
The first sign of the zodiac, Aries loves to be number one and has a natural drive for leadership, much like Virgin River's Doc. Bold and assertive, Doc dives headfirst into even the most challenging medical situations, be it Calvin's pot camp or a spate of food poisoning in the town.
In true Aries form, Doc also hates listening to others, can be childish if someone challenges his authority, like Mel did, and has a bit of a temper, but his achievements and desire to help usually win over these more negative characteristics.
Taurus: Hope McCrea
Hope is one of the most dependable people in the town, and people can count on her to organize Moonlight Mingles, town fairs, or even find a caregiver for an abandoned baby. Just like a Taurus, she also likes creating and maintaining close and intimate relationships with people she loves, like Jack and Mel, and goes to any length to do what's best for them.
Hope's stubbornness also makes her distinctly Taurus-like, because she refuses to listen when people ask her to stop interfering in their matters, but her intentions are always good.
Gemini: Paige Lassiter
Famously known as the "two-faced" sign of the zodiac, Gemini-like Paige actually has a second identity — Michelle. Running away from her abusive husband, she takes on an alias and actually thrives in Virgin River with her buzzing bakery truck. Paige is alert and always imbibing information about her environment, but she also cares deeply for her son and Preacher.
Just like a Gemini, she's great at networking, which she used to build a steady clientele for her business. When relaxed, she is also smart and funny.
Cancer: Mel Monroe
Sweet Mel has an innately nurturing disposition, which is why she is most like a Cancer. As a nurse and otherwise, she is amazingly empathetic and a natural caregiver. She chooses to treat an extremely bitter Charmaine, even when the latter was being catty and ungrateful.
Mel never misses an opportunity to help and be lovely to people, but she is also prone to getting overwhelmed by her emotions. Her grief and anger sometimes make her react badly and shut others out, much like the water sign, but she is adored by everyone in the town.
Leo: Muriel
An actress and performer, dramatic Muriel is very much like the lion of the zodiac. Leos are known for their charm and charisma, as well as their creative side. She likes being in the center of attention and has a habit of dropping names and showing off, which can be a turn off for many in large doses.
Leos, however, are also very generous when they want to be, just like Muriel was when she helped Doc reset his and Hope's old engagement ring for their vow renewal.
Virgo: Preacher Middleton
Preacher is well-loved by all the townsfolk, mainly because he is extremely reliable. Everyone can depend on Preacher for a good meal, and even help, on a personal level, like Paige did when Wes came to town. He likes to see his loved ones fulfilled.
On the work front, Preacher is diligent, detail-oriented, and hard-working, very much like a Virgo, which makes him a great employee and friend to Jack. In true Virgo fashion, Preacher tends to ignore his own needs to meet others' concerns, which he hopefully is trying not to do by considering the San Francisco job offer.
Libra: Charmaine Roberts
As a hairstylist, it's Charmaine's job to be chatty and sociable to keep her customers entertained. Libras can fit in anywhere, with their innate ability to strike a conversation in any social situation. However, they also tend to people-please, which is something Charmaine did a lot with Jack and Hope. Even though Jack had made it clear that they were casual, she went to great lengths to make him feel romantically towards her and became overly dependent on him in a one-sided relationship.
Much like a Libra, she became bitter and felt wronged when her emotions were not reciprocated and caused conflict wherever she could with him and Mel.
Scorpio: Dan Brady
Scorpios are extremely ambitious individuals and always are on a quest for power and money. Jack's Marine buddy Brady loves money and is dissatisfied as a server at Jack's Bar because he feels like he is meant for greater things. In his search for status and more cash, he goes into business with Calvin, which turns out to be lucrative, but a big mistake.
Brady is also highly intuitive and likes to get to the bottom of things, like Scorpios. He uncovers Calvin's fentanyl business and tries to save Spencer and Mel from getting involved in it when he can.
Sagittarius: Mark Monroe
Sagittarians are always on the hunt for knowledge, and Mel's late doctor husband Mark was someone who thirsted for knowledge for the betterment of people around him. Mark always chased after geographical, intellectual, and spiritual adventures, especially with his love for sailing, which he wanted to do forever after retirement.
His wit and sweetness attracted Mel immediately, but he could dismiss ideas that he didn't think were correct, like Mel's insistence on getting a surrogate. However, Mark's love and warmth sured this exponentially.
Capricorn: Jack Sheridan
The hardest worker of the zodiac, Capricorn's dedication and discipline make it easy for them to achieve any goals they set their minds to. Jack is a typical Capricorn, with his Marine ambitions, which he completed, and then when he turned to the restaurant business, where he also excelled.
He is a great leader to his subordinates at war, and a fair boss to his employees at the bar. Behind the hard demeanor, Jack is soft and emotional when he loosens up, which is mostly around Mel, and extremely helpful to people when they ask him for it.
