The MST3K Tarot was such fun, how about mapping out the MST3K Zodiac next? Themed zodiacs are very popular on Kickstarter right now as well, especially in enamel pin form, and it might be fun to see how the MST3K cast of characters line up. Since there are so many characters, let’s make two versions - the SOL Zodiac and the Mads Zodiac. I’ll start with a few suggestions here, feel free to add your own (or argue assignments if you think of better matches).
== The Lists ==
– SOL Zodiac –
Aries: Crow Taurus: Mike Gemini: Cambot Cancer: GPC Leo: Growler Virgo: Jonah Libra: Tom Servo Scorpio: M. Waverly Sagittarius: Emily Capricorn: Magic Voice Aquarius: Pisces: Joel
– Mads Zodiac –
Aries: Ardy Taurus: Max Gemini: Synthia + Mega-Synthia Cancer: Dr. Phibes Leo: Pearl Virgo: TV’s Frank Libra: Bobo Scorpio: Kinga Sagittarius: Dr. Erhardt Capricorn: Brain Guy Aquarius: Dr. Forrester Pisces:

Summary
SOL Zodiac
Gemini: Tom Servo - Imaginative, loquacious, flamboyant, and rather in love with himself, there are a lot of this sign’s traits to be seen in the little red bot.
Pisces: GPC - Patient, maternal, long-suffering and burdened with responsibility, the trials and tribulations of this sign often seem to land on the capable shoulders(?) of the big purple bot.
Mads Zodiac
Capricorn: Kinga - Driven, ambitious, unyielding, and judgemental all seem to describe the mistress of Moon 13. (Actually, she is even more a Scorpio, so she’s going there for now.)
Taurus: Max - Devoted and loyal, but also stubborn and possessive, this natural lackey never quite seems to learn from his mistakes.
Yaknow, there’s no reason not to take a star map and just draw your own constellations on it… 'scuse me while I dip into Stellarium for a few screen shots.
Okay, splitting up the sky into nice 30 degree chunks stretching ten degrees north and south of the ecliptic, I did find serviceable Crow and Servo asterisms in the Pisces/Aries vicinity…
Haha this is a fun thread. I agree with you about Frank, Jonah, and Kinga; and Brain Guy/Capricorn is a good match. I think Joel could work as an Aquarius or possibly Pieces because he’s really nice in addition to being creative. He’s always so emotionally supportive of the bots
Yes, that’s a good fit for Joel as well. Pisces are very nurturing, patient, and long-suffering. That does describe Joel, though he’s also inventive and intuitive like an Aquarius. I put GPC in for Pisces at the moment because she fits the “den mother” role no matter who the host is.
Who do think is the Scorpio for the SOL crew? I’m leaning towards either M. Waverly or Crow. I favor the former at the moment because Waverly is flamboyant and reminds me of a vaudevillian, and the Scorpios I’ve known have been very outgoing and showy. That can be Crow too, however.
Hmm Scorpio, I don’t know too many of them and don’t really have a sense of what they are about. For Crow, I think Aries could be a good fit based on this description: adventurous, energetic, quick-witted, enthusiastic, confident, but also quick-tempered, impulsive, impatient, foolhardy, daredevil
A good suggestion as well. I like the Synthia/Mega-Synthia pairing especially, as they sort of have the shared DNA of twins, and their personalities are rather Geminid. (First-person experience talking here.)
