🧡 Scooter sun - I’m a good friend, reliable, kinda nerdy, and I staunchly believe the best about everyone

🩷 Miss Piggy moon - I am deeply femme, deeply feminist, AND I deeply love my person… and I can be vain

💚 Kermit rising - people see me as “together” and I also wear my heart on my sleeve

I love how so many people are picking Kermit as their capricorn Sun, that's just a fact at this point 😂. Swedish chef moon and Miss Piggy rising, although they're in mutual reception in astro muppet land so they could aso swap places💃.

What does mutual reception mean?!! I thought I knew so much about astrology!!

Haha, the technical explanation is that it's two planets in each other's sign of rulership, I had to look up what the exact definition was to be fair but hey we're juggling muppets here but it basically means they're connected so they can swap places/take on qualities of the other. So my extravagant Miss Piggy can swap place with slightly chaotic Swedish chef in internal character vs. external perception.

There’s so many Muppet Show hidden gems regarding horoscopes. I rather serendipitously stumbled upon a scanned copy of Muppet Magazine from like 1986. According to the ‘Janice Sees Stars’ horoscope column:

⭐️LIBRA (September 24 to October 23)⭐️

Libra is the sign of the scales. You're really into balance. Librans are like always getting people to make up, to be total friends. Arguing makes you go bananas! Plus you Librans make groovy actors and singers. Most of you are into something totally cool like playing in the school band or acting in the school play.

I genuinely am, one balance hungry bitch.

Fozzie Sun- I have a deep appreciation and respect for terrible puns. He's also very humble and kind but a little oblivious.

Gonzo Moon- Very passionate, loving, emotional, and a little insane.

Bunsen Rising- MASSIVE nerd.

🧡Fozzy sun - I am a big goof and take life very unseriously, possibly to my detriment but my good nature and kind heart gains me collateral with others despite this flaw.

💚Kermit moon - Even keeled and dependable, love a strong, bossy woman. Like Kermit, I am an Idealistic, optimist with a big heart.

🤎Rolwf the Dog rising - laid back, sarcastic, calm in the face of mayhem. Jokes at inappropriate moments. (Think of the old muppet show veterinarian’s hospital sketches.)

Swedish Chef 🌞 - always thinking about food, slightly chaotic, trying my best despite not always speaking the same language as everyone else, full of positivity even in the face of impending doom.

Beaker 🌝 - constant underlying panic and mild disbelief at the actions of others. Mostly just want to be left alone.

Animal Rising - loud, raucous, strong opinions, keen to please, able to toe the line when needed, comfortable leading or being the in the background as needed.

Kermit (Capricorn sun)

Animal (Scorpio moon)

Scooter (Virgo rising)

The more I think the more Sam the eagle feels right for Capricorn more than Kermit, but I personally chose Kermit for the fact he’s an anxious workaholic who’s also creative and dependable and that felt very relatable to my own work/home life. Animal moon because…. Scorpio moon just feels emotional and chaotic, easily-angered, crude and very energetic. Intense. Virgo rising was a hard one for me, but scooter just feels right I can’t explain it.

Well as I saw it it’s down to assigning yourself the Muppets based on their personalities than assigning a Muppet to match a/your zodiac signs!

The corollary philosophy of muppet personality analysis is that we identify more with either 'chaos' or 'order' muppets, or that we all wrestle to find balance between these two drives. For example, my inner Animal moon in conflict with my Scooter rising, balanced by a Fozzie sun.

Hmmmm, okay, I think I have it:

☀️ Kermit (Aquarius) - Reflecting on my background as both a stage manager and a creative (improv/acting, game mastering with worldbuilding, etc), I think Kermit reflects well my dependability, leadership, organization, and creativity, while also being an anxious, overworked (slash needing to be constantly busy) control freak

🌛 Rizzo (Gemini) - Internally, I've got that city kid sarcasm, bitchiness, and street smarts. More sensitive than I let on. I am also on the shorter side and scared of heights lmao

⬆️ Rowlf/Scooter (Taurus) - People see me as down to earth, rarely flustered, and with a bit of a sarcastic/dry humor like Rowlf. Oh, also musical with breaking out into song at random and seeking out adventure from time to time. Scooter again ties in that stage management background, but he's also very loyal, helpful, and easy-going.

The song ‘the rainbow connection’ gets stuck in my head too often (it makes me teary eyed every time.) Fraggle rock songs too. Thank you for asking readers about Muppets!
