Earlier this year, Apple officially released iOS 26.4, adding a whopping 163 new emojis to the collection. Of course, most of these are variations of skin tones of existing emojis, but we’re still planning to get plenty of use out of the eight brand new ones.
There’s a little bit of something for everyone here, from silly faces to rare (and imaginary) creatures, musical instruments, abstract symbols and more. Let us guess which one you’ll be using the most, based on your zodiac sign.
Aries (March 21 – April 19): Fight Cloud
We’re not saying that Aries are always getting into fights, but as the fiery first sign of the zodiac, they’re more prone to disagreements and heated debates than most. The fight cloud sums up their attitudes well, even if it’s in a playful and joking manner (the majority of the time).
Taurus (April 20 – May 20): Ballet Dancer
Taurus is a sign known for class. They’re hard-working, put-together and elegant, showing up to any event with both grace and style. The ballet dancer suits them well, with a touch of poise that says “I’m here!” It manages to be silly and sophisticated all at once.
Gemini (May 21 – June 20): Hairy Creature
Gemini has a reputation for being sociable as well as multifaceted. There are two sides to every Gemini, and you never quite know which one you’re going to expect. This is why the “hairy creature” (obviously Sasquatch) is so funny coming from them. The creature strolls onto the scene, ready to mix things up—or possibly keep strolling right on by.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22): Trombone
Cancer likes to act tough and unflappable, but as one of the water signs of the zodiac, they’re actually deeply sensitive and emotional. They’re bound to use the trombone emoji frequently as a reference to a “womp-womp” sad trombone sound, whether they’re downplaying their own emotional turmoil or poking fun at someone else’s.
Leo (July 23 – Aug. 22): Orca
Leos are head-turners and the star of the show at any given moment, and as folks who live in the Pacific Northwest, we can say that orcas do just that. It’s a flashy emoji that says “I’m here, notice me!” while also implying they’re on the prowl and doggedly going after the things they want in life.
Virgo (Aug. 23 – Sep. 22): Landslide
As the perfectionists of the zodiac, Virgos take little details very seriously. Sometimes, it just takes the tiniest nudge to wreck all of their well-laid plans. Hence, the landslide emoji. It’s the ideal representation of things going awry and obstacles blocking the path. Of course, Virgo is just being dramatic, because they’ll figure out the solution in no time at all.

Libra (Sep. 23 – Oct. 22): Ballet Dancer
Libra’s zodiac symbol is a set of scales, suggesting their desire to create balance and harmony. That’s why they’ll be so drawn to the ballet dancer emoji, poised carefully on one shoe as she flaunts her perfect posture and composure. She, too, is a symbol of everything being in its place and Libra being completely at ease.
Scorpio (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21): Hairy Creature
Scorpio is perhaps the only sign of the zodiac said to be as mysterious and unknowable as a cryptic. The hairy creature emoji’s scornful glance beautifully represents how they feel about a lot of situations, looking disdainfully from afar and strolling by without personally getting involved themselves.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21): Treasure Chest
Sagittarius is famously a world traveler, culture enthusiast and optimist, so it’ll be rare for the not to throw a treasure chest into their texts. It can symbolize a number of things, from finding a hidden gem restaurant to acknowledging a great idea or just celebrating something they think is a treasure.

Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19): Distorted Face
Capricorn works harder than just about anyone, and they expect others to also step up to the plate and show a little initiative from time to time. We think they’ll immediately relate to the distorted face emoji and it’s “are you kidding me right now?” attitude. The sign frequently feels let down or underwhelmed, and the emoji conveys that emotion beautifully.
Aquarius (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18): Orca
Statistically, Aquarius is the rarest zodiac sign, known for making their own rules and defying expectations. They relate to the rarity and specialness of the orca, a clever and innovative marine mammal that can be as deadly as it is majestic. We love the mischievous glint in the orca’s eye that suggests it’s listening, but isn’t necessarily going to do what you say.
Pisces (Feb. 19 – March 20): Distorted Face
Dreamy, distractible Pisces can’t help but feeling like this distorted face a lot of the time. Maybe they can’t believe the news, are struggling to comprehend something or just having a big reaction to an ordinary, everyday occurrence. Regardless, they’re going to be using this emoji on the daily and in every scenario imaginable.
