1. Aries (Mar 21-Apr 20): Jingle All The Way

Aries are passionate, confident and fiercely motivated to prove themselves, which is why finding the perfect holiday movie for an Aries can be a bit challenging.  Because of their powerful, competitive nature Aries will love Jingle All The Way,  the 1996 film starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, Rita Wilson, and Sinbad on their quest to track down Turbo-Man, the hottest toy of the season.

2. Taurus (April 21-May 20): The Holiday

No action movies here, Taurus! Your calm, relaxed nature craves comfort and indulgence, which can be hard to get during the busy holiday season. So for your holiday movie night, kick back, relax, and watch The Holiday — a fun, easy movie that takes you on an adventure as the two main characters (Kate Winslet and Cameron Diaz) swap houses across the pond for Christmas.

3. Gemini (May 21-June 20): Elf

Extroverted Gemini, you love to be social, so hosting a holiday movie night is right up your alley. But, what to watch? Geminis will love the fun, witty film Elf, starring Will Ferrell. Released in 2003, the film follows Buddy the elf as he trades the North Pole for New York City on a quest to find his father. Needless to say, festive (and funny) chaos ensues.

4. Cancer (June 21-July 22): The Family Stone

Cancers are strong, family-minded, and sentimental, which makes 2005 comedy-drama, The Family Stone, an excellent choice for movie night. An emotional, uplifting, and relatable story shows the Stone family navigating the crazy holiday season as they welcome potential new family members, manage complicated relationships (familial and romantic) and health challenges, too. We happen to think this movie is best watched with loved ones.

5. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Home Alone

Admit it, Leo, you love (and often bring) the drama — and what’s a more dramatic, on-the-edge-of-your-seat-type holiday movie than the original Home Alone? Young, mischievous Kevin Mcallister really is home and alone, quickly finding himself having to defend his home from criminals, The Wet Bandits. Ingenuity, adventure, and hilarity quickly ensue.

6. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The Grinch

Kind, patient, and helpful Virgo — you’re a good person that loves good people, so there’s no question you’ll love The Grinch. Huh? Hear us out. Though his antics in the earlier parts of the film are hardly “good” his journey in Whoville and relationship with Cindy Lou Who will keep you rooting for him as the story progresses (and as his heart grows.)

7. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): A Christmas Carol

One of the things we love most about Libras is how thoughtful and sentimental they are which is why we know Libras will love A Christmas Carol. But which version? Honestly, any of them! There’s something so quintessentially comforting about the various renditions of the classic Christmas tale by Charles Dickens. Whichever one you watch, you’re sure to love watching as Scrooge gets visited by the ghosts of Christmases past, future, and present.

8. Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): It’s a Wonderful Life

Scorpios are strong, stoic, and protective. They’re also confident and loyal, which is what makes It’s a Wonderful Life an excellent choice for Scorpios. The classic, beloved film will leave Scorpios feeling all sorts of empathy for stoic and strong George Bailey, while also embracing their softer side as they follow along on flashback journey while his guardian angel Clarence shows him the world would not be the same without him.

9. Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Miracle on 34th Street

You have a big heart and love nostalgia, which is why you will love the classic 1947 film Miracle on 34th Street. Your warm and caring nature will have you completely invested in Kris Kringle’s quest to prove he is, in fact, the real Santa Claus, after being hired at Macy’s to play him.

10. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): The Santa Clause

Ambitious, determined Capricorn, you’re known for persevering when the odds are against you, which is exactly what Scott Calvin (Tim Allen) does when tasked with becoming Santa Claus in the 1994 movie The Santa Clause. When Santa gets mortally injured on Scott’s roof, unbeknownst to him, he inherits the job and quickly realizes the responsibility he has — whether he likes it or not.

11. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Love Actually

Creative and honest Aquarius, you feel things deeply and are passionate about others which is why Love Actually is right up your alley — just be sure to grab some tissues and emotional support snacks.
