#To me. She is short. And proud. And stubborn. And strong beyond belief emotionally

I remember one of you was into astrology and I was wondering if you could tell me what you think the signs of the 11 Disney princesses are?

That would be me! (Jen). Actually I worked with disneyyandmore to make a gif set here representing what I believe their signs are: CLICK HERE TO SEE!

Here are the bullet points

Snow White- CancerCinderella- TaurusAurora- LibraAriel- LeoBelle- AquariusJasmine- AriesPocahontas-SagittariusMulan- LeoTiana- CapricornRapunzel- PiscesMerida- Scorpio (In addition, so I don’t leave Gemini and Virgo out, I believe that Anna is a Gemini and Elsa is a Virgo.)

Here is the Longer explanation

Snow White- CANCER: Cancers are the most emotionally sensitive of the zodiac sign, and they have the strongest connection to home and family. They can also be quite domineering and possessive (check out Snow White taking over the dwarfs' house and becoming the boss in .5 seconds flat) as well as extremely nurturing and caring. Cancers are also, in my opinion, sometimes dramatic and have a tendency to overreact. Cancers can also be a bit moody and clingy-- we see that Snow White is rarely ever alone. 

Cinderella-TAURUS:  Cinderella is a dreamer, sure, so an instinct would be Pisces, but Cinderella is way too grounded and levelheaded to be a Pisces. Also, Cinderella isn't afraid of confrontation-- I never gathered that she was afraid of standing up to her stepmother or stepsisters, just more convinced that if she kept believing and being kind her dreams would come true. Cinderella looks in the long run rather than the short term, but also, boy is Cinderella ever stubborn-- ever since she was a kid she has clung to the dream that if you keep on believing, your dreams will come true. And she sticks to it, and sticks to it, and STICKS to it. She's also tirelessly loyal to her family, her father, her own dreams, and her father's estate, and has that quiet perseverance that Taurus are known for. She is also stable, dedicated, and trustworthy. Definitely a Taurus. 

Aurora-Libra: Aurora is honestly vague enough to place almost anywhere because she's not got much depth, but there's enough there for me to place her as a Libra. Libras are lovers of the finer things in life--art, music, etc. They also are the eternal diplomats, doing whatever it takes to keep the peace. That's why it's no shock that Aurora went along with the fairies instead of rebelling against them, even if it upset her (All Libras aren't necessarily like this, but it's certainly a libra quality). Libras are also effortless flirts and can very easily get people to like them. Even her character itself is a Libra--everyone in the kingdom loves Aurora, and Libras are known for bridging gaps between people which Aurora does between the two kingdoms to bring peace back to the land. Libras have a lot of tact and know how to well handle an awkward situation which she does with Phillip and the fairies. 

Ariel- LEO:   I think her and Mulan are possibly the most difficult to place and coincidentally, I think they are both Leos. To explain, let's get a couple things out of the way-- An Earth sign, she is not. She is not level headed nor practical. I absolutely cannot stand when I see Ariel placed as a water sign just because she's a mermaid (AND mistakenly placed as an Aquarius to boot because people think Aquarius' are water signs). Water signs are known for their intuition and sensitivity, both of which Ariel is lacking SEVERELY. Let me say it louder for the people in the back: ARIEL IS NOT A WATER SIGN! Now that we have that out of the way, lets talk about air vs. fire. Air signs are knowledge seekers, and Ariel definitely has some air qualities like being inconsistent and unreliable- and she certainly has a thirst for knowledge of the human world. But that's not the same as mental adventurousness and knowledge. Ariel's hunger for human goods stems from her passion to be a human, not the other way around. Ariel is definitely a fire sign, she has serious ambition, drive, and passion inside of her and very impulsive. This narrows us down to Sagittarius, Aries, and Leo.   One of the things about Ariel is that she has a craving to be liked by humans. This desire for love and admiration ("where they don't reprimand their daughters- bright young women, sick of swimmin' , ready to stand") is a strong vote for the Leo category. Beyond that, Ariel is strongly liked by Atlantica despite all her faults, and Leos are usually one of the most well-liked Zodiac signs.   Leos are also again, the big ego types, and very selfish. Ariel wants what she wants and she will stop at nothing to get it. Leos always come across as incredibly selfish, and boy if anyone ever has a complaint about Ariel, it's how selfish she is. Leos tend to have addictive personalities and are the life of the party--Ariel is definitely both. She fights for what she wants fiercely and will do anything to get it, that takes quite the bit of ego and confidence.   You could argue she's an aries because she can be temperamental, but Aries tend to be cold and way more blunt than Ariel is. Ariel definitely speaks out, but she's not the cutting and cold Jasmine, who tells it exactly like it is. Ariel's outbursts are outbursts of passion. She's even further from Sagittarius because she has no issue being decisive or committing to what she wants.   I stand by my decision that Ariel is a definite Leo. 

Belle- AQUARIUS: Belle is first and foremost, a knowledge seeker. She is curious to a fault. That's the quality of an air sign. Belle is also selfless and always very humanitarianly generous, putting her father before herself and not letting emotion overcome her- she's very logical and somewhat calculating. She also has a bit of trouble seeing anyone else's view but her own and thinks the way she views life is the best (she can be a bit condescending). She is also marked as different and unique, tying in with my previous point. Aquarius' are also innovative, individualistic, and idealistic...these and the traits above mark Belle as an Aquarius. 

Jasmine-ARIES: For me, this is a fairly easy one to place. Aries have this chill outside--they always pretend everything is cool, but they have this temper underneath with a lot of outbursts and are easily frustrated. They definitely know how to speak their minds, are very energetic, courageous, impulsive, and spontaneous, but they can be temperamental and very proud. Aries also do not mince words. I was able to place Jasmine within seconds haha. 

Pocahontas-SAGITTARIUS: I can see arguments being made for Pocahontas for a lot of signs aside from any of the earth signs--she is no parts judgemental, levelheaded, or practical. Pocahontas could be an air sign because she's so flighty and indecisive--- however, she is very passionate and not afraid to face her future, even if it confuses her. I don't really see Pocahontas as a knowledge seeker like the air signs are, sure she's got her beliefs about the earth and how we should treat it, but she's mostly a big goofball until John Smith shows up, not really taking anything seriously and definitely not wanting to be tied down-- two qualities of the adventurous Sagittarius.  While air signs are mentally adventurous, Sag's are actually physically adventurous and extremely impulsive; they may one day just decide to get up and move to a completely different country out of the blue. Sag's are known for being highly independent and having serious commitment issues-- this SCREAMS Pocahontas, who can't ever decide which side to pick.  Sagittarius' have a lot of internal personal power and strength and they are known for being very hard to tie down and commit. They value freedom first and foremost (as a rising sag, I panic at any sort of commitment).  Also, side note, but I notice Sagittarius' tend to make these dramatic posts on Facebook about literally anything including what kind of cereal they ate this morning and the deeper meaning behind it and I can see Pocahontas doing that.

Mulan- LEO: Mulan is probably the hardest of the princesses to place. I know people may argue with me on this placement, but hear me out. Leos have the biggest ego of the zodiac sign. While that may not sit well with people because Mulan seems fairly humble (I'll touch on that later), ego is not necessarily vanity- Leos have a desire to be loved and please others. This is VERY much Mulan. Mulan wants to impress and please her family, her father, but at the same time, wants to find out who SHE is--this is a Leo ego as well, having this hunger to prove and define herself.  Leos are fiercely loyal, another strong quality of Mulan, and can take a very brutal hit if they disappoint someone or are betrayed.  and Mulan's father's disappointment, her hunger to prove herself and find where she belongs as well as her fierce loyalty is enough to drive her to join the army. Another key Leo quality is when Mulan joins the army and Shang sends her home, a lot of zodiac signs would have used this opportunity to go home safely and rejoin the family. But Mulan sticks to it and perseveres- she has a hunger for success that is seen in fire signs. They love success and power.  Mulan also isn't as humble as people like to think she is-- giving the divine emperor a hug takes a lot of vanity and confidence in yourself- that's a serious overstepping of boundaries. As well as returning to Shang to warn him about the Huns and speaking over her father when he is drafted- Mulan doesn't really have a whole lot of humility. I'm thinking of the scene where she grabs the canon and defies Shang's orders-- that's pretty gutsy and again, you have to have a lot of narrow minded confidence to try to pull that off. I think that Mulan's ego, her loyalty, her drive for success and her need to please others places her squarely in the Leo category.  

Tiana-CAPRICORN: To me, another extremely obvious choice. Capricorns are career chasers- they put their material dreams first. That alone could categorize Tiana. Caps are also sometimes labeled as boring or predictable, (which Tiana is often accused of) and they are levelheaded (as earth signs are) as well as emotionally cold, ambitious, conservative, helpful, and judgemental. An easy placement. 

Rapunzel- PISCES:  Pisces are dreamers, almost to the point that it's a hindrance. They love to daydream and they despise confrontation--they really need to get worked up to confront someone. They are also what I call the bleeding hearts of the zodiac, always sympathizing and caring about others. Rapunzel's obsession with the lanterns, her inability to stand up to Gothel until pushed to the limit, and her creativity, spunk, and intuition--pisces are great at getting a read on others-- places Rapunzel as a Pisces. 

Merida- SCORPIO: I think it's easy to place Merida as a fire sign, however Scorpios are often misjudged as fire signs. They are extremely passionate and almost never know when to back down or let go--- do a Scorpio wrong and prepare to have the wrath of vengeance come your way. The fact that Merida is so persistent about not being betrothed including defying her mother and winning her own hand shows a strong sense of justice, another thing that Scorpios are really into (see Esmeralda, who is the epitome of Scorpio). All of this defines Merida as a Scorpio for me.
