Chances are that if you clicked on this article, you’re at least curious about dinosaurs. You might even have an all-time favorite dinosaur. But what about the one that best suits your personality?
Your prehistoric match just might be written in the stars. Keep scrolling to discover which dino is best suited to your zodiac sign below.
Aries (March 21 – April 19): Ceratosaurus
The Ceratosaurus is perhaps the most obscure dinosaur on this list, but we had to match it with fiery and passionate Aries because of its bold and unforgettable appearance. It’s been compared again and again to a dragon because of its signature horns and unique spines, and while it wasn’t a particularly huge dinosaur, it was fast, powerful and skilled at the hunt.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20): Pachycephalosaurus
As hard-working and dependable as they are, Tauruses also have a reputation for being quite stubborn. They’re as hard-headed as they come, much like the famous Pachycephalosaurus with its domed, helmet-like skull. Their skulls could be up to 10 inches thick, allowing them to ram their heads to protect themselves as herbivores. Scientists also think they may have participated in head-butting contests with each other.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20): Velociraptor
Geminis are known for being social creatures who thrive in groups, and while it’s not confirmed that Velociraptors were pack hunters that worked better together, evidence suggests that their speed and intelligence made them mighty hunters, despite their small size. Velociraptors also sported feathers, making them quite the site to behold.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22): Ankylosaurus
Cancer’s zodiac symbol is the crab, and they’re known for being sensitive on the inside while maintaining a tough outer shell to keep themselves safe. The Ankylosaurus operated on a similar principle. It was a plant-eater covered in heavily armored bone spikes to keep it safe from predators, with an enormous club tail that could be brandished as a defensive weapon. Cancer prefers to keep threats at a distance, and they’d love feeling as protected as the Ankylosaurus.

Leo (July 23 – Aug. 22): Tyrannosaurus Rex
Much like Leo’s zodiac symbol is the lion, the kind of the jungle, their zodiac dinosaur has to be Tyrannosaurus Rex, the king of the dinosaurs. They’re probably the world’s most famous and beloved dinosaurs for their immense size and huge, terrifying jaws. They’re recognized as fierce predators and for their lasting impact on popular culture.

Virgo (Aug. 23 – Sep. 22): Diplodocus
Virgos are recognized for their thoughtfulness, perfectionism and attention to detail, and we associate them with the gentle giant Diplodocus. Diplodocus were discovered quite early on in the history of dinosaur-hunting, captivating museum-goers around the world with their majestic form and long, slender necks, with lengths of up to 90 feet. They seem like just the right dinosaur to enchant the intelligent and humble sign.

Libra (Sep. 23 – Oct. 22): Parasaurolophus
Libra, another one of the communicative and social air signs, is likely to see themselves in Parasaurolophus. The curved crest on its head didn’t just bestow a distinctive look but may have been used for communication, whether it helped them make unique sounds or just show off a little. They were grazers who moved peacefully together in big herds for safety, much like Libra prefers to do whenever they can.

Scorpio (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21): Stegosaurus
Scorpio is one of the emotional water signs of the zodiac, symbolized by the stinging and deadly scorpion. While Stegosauruses didn’t have tails full of poison, they were armed with a deadly spiked tail that could protect their from much larger predators. These herbivores were extra tough thanks to their armored ridge of plates down the back, giving them their signature look, and just like you don’t want to get on Scorpio’s bad side, it was not a good idea to make them angry.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21): Spinosaurus
Sagittarius is known as a traveler and adventurer able to adapt to any situation, and we think Spinosaurus also suits this description nicely. Unlike many other types of dinosaurs, they split their time between the land and the water, making them adept hunters regardless of their environment. It’s believed the spiny sail along their backs might have been used to aid in swimming, proving their capability in any scenario.

Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19): Allosaurus
Capricorns are hard-working, classic and traditional, and we like to think of them as being like the Allosaurus, who lived in an age well before the arrival of the T-rex. While not quite as big as the king of the dinosaurus, Allosaurus came first and was the dominant predator of the Late Jurassic period, feeding on Stegosaurus and Diplodocus. Its bit wasn’t as strong, but it was still a fierce and fearsome hunter that every dinosaur lover should be familiar with.

Aquarius (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18): Pterosaur
Aquarius isn’t a sign that’s made a reputation playing by the rules or following what everyone else is doing, which is why our “dinosaur” pick for them, the Pterosaur, isn’t a dinosaur at all. These unique reptiles were the first vertebrates to fly, belonging to a family called Ornithodira, allowing them to take to the skies. Most freedom-loving and independent Aquarians would love to do the same.

Pisces (Feb. 19 – March 20): Triceratops
And last, but certainly not least, is dreamy and imaginative Pisces. They share a bit in common with Triceratops, an herbivore that’s among the most well-known and awe-inspiring dinosaurs, recognizable for its three face horns. These dinosaurs survived by protecting themselves with their thick skin and powerful horns, and they’re among the most common of the large dinosaurs, with fossils inspired new generations of creative dreamers with every visit to a natural history museum.
