The My So-Called Life Character You Are Based On Your Zodiac Sign

The twins symbolize Gemini, the mutable air sign. Sometimes Geminis are extroverted and the life of the party; other times they are serious and introverted. Throughout "My So-Called Life," Angela Chase (Claire Danes) is searching for herself, unsure of who she is, with an iconic inner monologue offering insights such as "People always say you should be yourself ... like 'yourself' is this definite thing." The thoughts Angela shares through her voiceovers illustrate tendencies characteristic of the air element.

Air signs are stuck in their heads, rather than their bodies. They are curious and intelligent. They can sometimes seem scattered, but they aren't forgetful. Like Angela, Geminis are often lost in their thoughts. This zodiac sign has a reputation for being unemotional, but this simply isn't accurate. Geminis intellectualize their emotions rather than feeling them, which doesn't make their emotions any less real.

Their mutable modality creates a greater than average potential for Geminis to struggle with finding a sense of balance. They are excellent communicators who love talking and have a knack for written communication, which tracks with Angela's interest in English class and creative writing. We even see this in the letter Angela writes to Jordan, which causes some confusion and leads to the show's examination of illiteracy in Episode 7 of Season 1, "Why Jordan Can't Read." Geminis love writing letters because they can refine their thoughts, which often seem like non-sequiturs to people who don't process information as quickly as Geminis.

This zodiac sign is known for its mercurial nature, as well as its nervousness and indecision. Mercury, the messenger god, metaphorically rules Gemini. This ruler emphasizes Geminis' quick mind and chatty nature, something we see in Angela. She is always wanting to know what motivates people's behavior so she can understand them better. This leads to her frustration with Jordan — he doesn't want to talk about anything, and Angela wants to talk about everything.
