The Signs of the Zodiac, Represented by Disney Princesses

Very clever.

Is it just me or do all of the princesses seem kinda white-washed? They are very well drawn, and the idea is quite clever, but it sort of takes away from the concept when ALL of them look so pale.

Well, Tiana’s pretty dark.

TBH, I just found it a reminder of how many are blond.

I’m disappointed my sign is represented by Tiana.

Jasmine and Meg do seem pale. Pocahontas could perhaps be a shade darker, but I’ll accept it. Everyone else is as pale as you’d expect. In fact, I expected Snow White to be even paler. She is supposed to have skin “as white as snow” after all.

The artist would appear to be Grodansnagel on deviantArt: http://grodansnagel.deviantart.com/

My issue is that most of the personalities don’t match up very well. Just off the top of my head I would have pegged Tiana as Capricorn, Jane as Aquarius, and Jasmine as Leo. For starters.

 Same. I’m close enough to the line, though, that I can usually pass for Gemini. So I’m just going to claim Mulan here instead.

Meg was always a Scorpio to me. I think at least they got Mulan and Pocahontas right.

And Jasmine looks very, very light.

I knew Ariel would be Pisces. She’s a fish! But that’s ok with me because she is my favorite Disney princess.

Jasmine is looking a little like Amy Winehouse.

Who the hell is Tiana?  She was mine too!

well, Cancers are all about family and love, and they are very good with money; they are always saving for something important or a rainy day. they are also very focused/stubborn. Tiana shows those traits throughout the movie, so I thought that was a good pick.

I could see the Pisces pick coming from a mile away, but I’m glad! The Little Mermaid is a great movie, and Ariel is so much like me it makes no sense!

Gotta say, picking a mermaid for the fish sign isn’t exactly mind-stretching.

True, but if she hadn’t everyone would be saying, “Oh my god, Ariel’s such and such and not Pisces? Fail!”

They tried to make me marry Jafar but I said no, no, no.

Why tf would anyone be disappointed with Tiana? She’s my favorite! She’s independent, she’s a smartass, she has big dreams! I love her.

Aurora as Virgo is kinda weird…seeing as in the original story Sleeping Beauty is awakened by the birth pains of the child the prince impregnated her with when she was sleeping.

I actually find it funny that if you take a REALLY hard look at it, more ‘Princesses’ (or at least female leads) in Disney movies are brunettes!

Would be cool to see an Ophiuchus done  like this, maybe Esmeralda.

so does Pochahontas

Riiiight?  Tiana is totally the hardworking Capricorn.

Ariel only had a fin for 16 years of her life.  If she lived a long time, the majority of her life would be spent with legs.

How did she stay alive?  She wasn’t eating! These stories make very little sense.

I’m a cancer and I’m thrilled that Tiana represents my sign. The choices are actually  all really appropriate if you know the zodiac well. 

nah. Tiana is the self-sacrificing, nurturing, family and food loving Cancer. 

if you’re dissecting the plausibility of disney stories, you clearly need to find better things to do with your time. what’s more, if you don’t like it, why’d you even click on the link? 

Stumbleupon brought me here, actually.  I didn’t choose the article. Also, rational thought takes little time for those practiced at it.  Though, the realization that people who can not eat, starve, is a “dissection” that takes even less time to ascertain.

Also, the plausibility of Disney stories is very important, as each story draws on the folklore that defines our culture, and twists it in strange ways.  Never underestimate the power of media, especially media that is consumed by children en masse.  Most of the commenters here are adults, turned on to these stories at a young age.  I find that significant.

Perhaps you should save your judgemental comments for people whom you know. If you’d like to criticize a concept, however, be my (our?) guest.

 Use Google.

Absolitely clever!!!

I don’t see how the plausibility here falls onto Disney… Sleeping Beauty was asleep much longer in the actual fairytale (I think the going amount is one hundred years, but it can vary). Actually, one telling of it says that the Prince recognizes that she is wearing the same sort of fashion as his grandmother. The original tellings also have Sleeping Beauty get pregnant and give birth to twins- she only wakes up because one of her twins sucks on her finger and the flax seed that poisoned her comes out. 

   That being said, the point of fairy tales is not their plausibility. Fairy tales were created to teach lessons and morality in ways that children and young adults would be more likely to remember.

WOOT!!  I’m Gemini/Mulan!!!  I make handsome captains question their sexuality!!!!  

I’m disappointed by Virgo…and I had a feeling it was going to be  either blonde princesses…oiy  =_=…on the upside…my daughter has my favorite Disney princess Pocahontas

Tiana is the true princess form the “Princess and the Frog” so I guess you are not down with the best. An if you want to get technical Tiana and Mulan are the same just different ethnic groups, they both worked for all that they had idiot it was not given to them………learn some self love and gain your own characteristics please.

gurl u betta tell them they aint knowing…………..

 Hmm, I’d have to say Cancer’s would have more of a central fixation of turning a food and family memory into a business. They have more of a need to nurture. Her fantasy scene involves her SERVING people, actually preparing the food and running the joint (at the end) very friendly like. That is very Cancer.

 Jasmine is definitely a scorpio to me. I would say if she was a Leo, she probably wouldn’t have been as inclined to run away. Scorp ladies HATE restrictions and being unable to choose their path. Leos tend to relish attention and luxury; I doubt she would leave as a Leo.

I can see Snow White as an Aquarius because they are very accepting of all different kinds of people and are very humanitarian. She walks into a house and cleans it without knowing who lives there, and despite seeing that they are little men  (by their beds) helps them without any thought that they’d be looked at funny by others in her kingdom. That’s very Aquarian–liking differences. Jane could probably also fit too in that respect. However, for Capricorns they generally prefer society over wilderness, so…

 There are other implications for Virgo besides virginity–like naivety. Though that is represented to the extreme by her getting her finger pricked and then out of society for 100 and having someone to come rescue her. No offense, but I know a few virgos and they seem kind of… willing or ok with things happening to them? @_@ To put it nicely, they have a gentle, don’t-rock-the-boat approach to life… unless it makes them money *cough*Gene Simmons*cough*

 Besides being a mermaid, it actually makes a lot of sense. She lives in a dream world of her own, even on land. Tell me that’s not Piscean XD

At first I was like “WTF” when I saw Cinderella as a Taurus. I asked why the hell she would be that, then saw the answer in my own life: Doing chores and not complaining or not speaking up. Ouch.  XD *consoles self with animal friends*

Here is the link to the Deviant Artist who drew these. http://grodansnagel.deviantart.com/gallery/28732595

I’m so torn about Sagittarius. I guess in the end she fits, completely, but I’ve always been torn about the movie (I loved her as a historic figure as a kid – even before the movie, felt the whole “can’t we all just get along?!” message always upset me)

 I’m a Taurus and I don’t do chores, esp,. if it’s expected of me for no good reason, without complaining.  Honestly, I complain about quite a bit, tho.  I think stubbornness and liking material things are the only bits of Taurus which line up with me, anyway.

i understand mulad being a gemini…base on the movie she had two side.

 Capricorns are the same.

Snow Aquarius? SNOW AQUARIUS? REALLY?? She’s the farthers from Aquarius a human being can possibly be!! I agree with Mulan and Rapunzel, but I’d change Jasmine and Meg, for instance.

She may be a “fish” but she’s definitely an Aquarius at personality!

Hey guyzz! its based on characteristics, not on the beauty. stop looking at the photos then arguing that lolz 

as i’am leo i’am not meg well they just can’t get me only i’am rapunzel neighter i was dreaming on ———————-> me in a tower with a very long long long long long hair———————> only my dream

Capricorns may be the same but the other reason why I would agree that Tiana’s Cap is because of her dream of starting a business and the hard work she was willing to put into doing it.

Did anyone else think Homestuck?
Omg.
Aradia = Belle
Tavros = Cinderella
Sollux = Mulan
Karkat = Tiana
Nepeta = Meg
Kanaya = Sleeping Beauty
Terezi = Rapunzel
Vriska = Jasmine
Equius = Pocahontas
Gamzee = Jane
Eridan = Snow White
Feferi = Ariel

Meg as leo disappoints Merida from Brave would have been a much better choice.

Eh, true, but I continue to be amused that in the recent run of Princess Art, Meg constantly needs less tweaking to fit in. Just draw her with slightly sharper nails, bam she looks like a Leo. {g} Admittedly I’m biased, as Meg is one my favorite characters among the Princessi, but I’m even more pleased my other most-favorite was tapped for the Scorpio art (my sign).

Magic did it. Part of the story, makes perfect sense in that context.

Snow White couldn’t be any less of an Aquarius! Aquarius should be Belle or Jane!

Aw man! I hate Ariel.

KIDA gets no love.

Oh my god, these are made by my friend Linnéa! http://grodansnagel.deviantart.com/gallery/28732595

I, of course, am Princess Aurora….The of course being said snarkily and with humor bc as a child who had trouble falling asleep, I would always replay the movie Sleeping Beauty in my mind. Every time my finger would touch the spinning wheel I would be under the witch’s spell aka, finally able to sleep. Random coincidence that they chose the very character I spent my childhood as to rep my sign. Life is funny like that. lol
