Which Robert Pattinson Character Are You Based On Your Zodiac Sign

At the dawn of his fame, Robert Pattinson was a heartthrob synonymous with his squealing teen fan base. The Twilight star embodied the mysterious bad boy persona as emotional vampire Edward Cullen from 2008 through 2012. Cut to the current day, and it is suddenly cinephiles and DC fanboys drooling over the actor, set to star in Christopher Nolan's upcoming Tenet and later the inevitably-titillating The Batman.

Such an inflection point is the opportune time to look back on a filmography through the lens of the Zodiac. In which of his roles did Robert Pattinson most effectively bring to life which astrological signs? As one of the most exciting movie stars of the past decade, there is not a film not worth watching based on your alignment.

12 Aries - Eric Packer (Cosmopolis)

Eric Packer, originally of the Don DeLillo novel, is a dystopian billionaire genius. He is an eccentric creative in a suit inspired by the likes of Elon Musk and other Silicon Valley wunderkinder.

Aries are akin to this profile. They are big dreamers, but not without a firm handle on reality - they will work to get their dreams done. Their passionate and expert approach tends to be applied across life disciplines. Finally, Aries are competitive, making them perfect for the type of financial trading mayhem Eric Packer is consumed with, for instance.

11 Taurus - Robert Pattinson (Real Life)

Born May 13, 1986, the real-life Robert Pattinson is a bonafide Taurus. Throughout a career which was born of the phenomenon Twilight series, the young Englishman has since played true to sign and successfully avoided being pinned down.

Tauruses dislike labels, especially in the way they conflict with the notion of individual progress. Pattinson was a teen heartthrob on the level of Justin Beiber ten years ago. But he was not to accept his fate. In recent years he has avoided roles anywhere in the vicinity of suave and charming and even lambasted the famous vampire franchise. It looks as if he'll succeed in setting his own course.

10 Gemini - Tyler Hawkins (Remember Me)

For this film, which utilizes the romantic coming-of-age format to explore some particularly dark topics, Robert Pattinson brought his best performance of Gemini emotional complexity. While somewhat trite, he succeeds in depicting a balance of despair and hope, of charm and introspection, as Geminis do so naturally.

Pattinson was awarded a Teen Choice Award for this role. He seemed to soon after reject such praise for the calling of higher ceremonies. There is only one other even relatively romantic film on this list outside of the Twilight series.

9 Cancer - Edward Cullen (Twilight Series)

The ubiquitous concept of the romantic or sexy vampire might as well be synonymous with the romantic or sexy Cancer. These individuals are cold and aloof, only highlighting how dreamy and mysterious they are. If only one could get through to these deep-feeling creatures, they'd find a sea of complex emotion.

As far as the recycled genres go, Edward Cullen was one of the best. He had teenage hearts transfixed over four years and five films.

8 Leo - The Dauphin (The King)

Netflix's Shakespeare adaptation The King was released last year to mixed reviews, but, if for this Robert Pattinson performance alone (only some ten minutes of screen time), it is worth checking out. As The Dauphin of France's kingdom, Pattinson is over-the-top ridiculous, menacingly making fun of Timothée Chalamet's King Henry V's you-know-what and owning the French accent.

Prideful and unshy with cruelty based in honesty, this Dauphin incarnation must have been born under the Leo sign. Important to remember is that the wretched character would be a beloved one, were the story told from a French perspective.

7 Virgo - Jacob (Water For Elephants)

If Robert Pattinson's demeanor indicates sophistication, he has certainly at least done his reading. More of this list than not is comprised of literary phenomenons of various scale. Water for Elephants is based on Sara Gruen's romantic 2006 period novel with a circus backdrop.

It is precisely the Virgo qualities in Robert Pattinson's Jacob which allure Reese Witherspoon's Marlena in this story. He is a dreamy stoic, but never complaining. Once his trust is gained, as Virgos will expect, things take off quickly.

6 Libra - Monte (High Life)

Cerebral sci-fi stories are excellent platforms for Zodiac analysis. In the likes of Black Mirror, The Twilight Zone, and this film, directed by renowned Franch auteur Claire Denis, characters are placed within logic scenarios devised of inventive technologies and futuristic settings.

Monte, for example, occupies a hopeless space prison, where inmates are used for fertility experiments. His Libra's empathy makes him an occasional protagonist - protecting the weak of the ship. His Libra's desire for harmony, though, causes him to regard both sides of certain conflicts until it's too late.

5 Scorpio - Thomas Howard (The Lighthouse)

At face value, Scorpios are prickly, matter-of-fact folks who do not back down from a necessary debate. This profile fits perfectly with The Lighthouse's premise and its character Thomas Howard. Stuck for days in a house with a maniacal partner, Howard spends little time mincing words or making nice.

Below the surface, however, is where much of the iceberg-like Scorpio psyche resides. As The Lighthouse begins to explore Howard's internal conflict, the film gets as weird as anyone who has ever loved a Scorpio might expect.

4 Sagittarius - Connie Nikas (Good Time)

The smash success of indie caper Uncut Gems and the Robert Pattinson arrival that inspired this list were not surprises to cinephiles who caught the Safdie brothers' heist thriller Good Time. Pattinson is excellent as Connie Nikas in a film that does not ever let up the tension.

Connie Nikas is the stereotypical gifted criminal (especially in comparison to his brother and partner-in-crime). His Sagittarius' finely-tuned zeal and propensity for risk collide with his apparent rough background, leading to an effective but detrimental life.

3 Capricorn - Cedric Diggory (Harry Potter Series)

As much semi-professional analysis has detailed, Hufflepuffs are accused of being the dorks and squares of the wizarding world. Famously, Harry Potter, an eventual legendary Gryffindor, also knocked at the door of Slytherin. Team captain, student council president, volunteer in his spare time Cedric Diggory, on the other hand, has nothing but yellow and black in his blood.

This is not to set an unwavering link between Diggory, Hufflepuff, and Capricorns, but let's just say cloak fits. Capricorns communicate strictly in organized itineraries and have never met a rule they didn't respect.

2 Aquarius - Edward Cullen In Vampire Form (Twilight Series)

Edward Cullen and his family are reformed vampires. They have morally pledged to get by on consumption of animal blood, despite their always-lingering thirst for humans which could turn them into hunting monsters upon relapse.

But every so often, it's necessary to live your truth, as Aquarius do. While your "kind" are sometimes difficult to externally read in your passionate behavior based on deeply-felt links to duty and identity, it's good that in reality these are not the duties and identities of a vampire as they are for Edward.

1 Pisces - Henry Costin (The Lost City Of Z)

In The Lost City of Z, Robert Pattinson is the archetypal brusque expedition leader Corporal Henry Costin to Charlie Hunman's inspired explorer character Percy Fawcett. It is always the keen, unspoken sense of Pisces intuition that guides such characters through dangerous terrain.

The real-life Costin was not a Pisces, but he did disappear mysteriously upon his search for this film's titular city. Searching for something which others do not even know exists is the perennial state of the Pisces (and apparently of the soul of Henry Costin).
