For 50 years, Saturday Night Live has brought some of the most iconic musical and sketch comedy performances to Studio 8H in New York. But SNL is best known for its wacky original characters who take a sketch from hilarious to truly iconic in pop culture.

From Stefon's best recommendations for New York City newcomers to motivational speaker Matt Foley's unconventional outlook on life, there's an SNL character we all connect with, and your zodiac sign may give you an idea of which one you're most like.

Air signs may be as charming and suave as Domingo while Earth signs might feel drawn to Debbie Downer's gloomy outlook.

Read on to find out which SNL character you're most like, according to astrologer Valerie Mesa.

Aries: Matt Foley

Motivational speaker Matt Foley's intense passion for his craft embodies Aries' energy the most. Mesa says his "fiery enthusiasm sees Matt diving headfirst into chaos" and adds his "constant outbursts and boundless energy — even if it means screaming at a bunch of teenagers to get their lives together — truly makes him the ultimate Aries."

Taurus: Gene Frenkle

Governed by Venus, Taurus placements are best known to keep things consistent no matter what, emulating Gene's commitment to making the cowbell sound happen "by any means necessary." Mesa adds that "he's not about to let anyone stop him from delivering that extra cowbell."

Gemini: Wayne Campbell and Garth Algar

Wayne and Garth are truly the epitome of Gemini's energy.

"This iconic Wayne's World duo captures the duality and mercurial charm of the Air sign with their non-stop banter, ever-changing personalities and constant mischief," Mesa says. "It's no surprise since Mike Myers and Dana Carvey are both Geminis themselves; these two live for the moment, embracing all the fun."

Cancer: Stefon

Like emotional Cancer placements, Mesa explains that Stefon has a love for drama and over-the-top tendencies "to make everything seem way worse than it is."

She adds that the "Water sign is ruled by their emotions and Stefon is always eager to spill the drama and all the best gossip around."

Leo: Penelope

Like Leo, Penelope is focused on the spotlight and making the world revolve around her.

"Everything from her constant thirst for attention, not to mention the need to one-up every single person in the room, resembles the shadow side of this theatrical Fire sign," Mesa says. "The world is her stage, and she’s here to perform — even if her storytelling is a bit exaggerated."

Virgo: Debbie Downer

Debbie Downer's pessimistic perspective makes her the ultimate Virgo.

"This Earth sign is most likely the person to bring up the one thing that could go wrong in an otherwise happy situation," Mesa explains. "And though Virgo’s critical eye is all about solutions and improvement, they have the unfortunate knack of being a total mood killer at times."

Libra: Domingo

Charming Domingo is truly the embodiment of Libras. Mesa says that as a "Venusian and the ultimate smooth talker, Domingo knows how to win women over with his suave demeanor, even if they’re engaged to be married."

She adds, "This Venus-ruled sign has a knack for charming those around them, and Domingo steals hearts without ever breaking a sweat."

Scorpio: Mister Robinson

Scorpios are all about pushing boundaries and exploring the raw side of life and Mr. Robinson does exactly that, with his sarcasm, suspicion and gritty worldviews.

Mesa adds that "since Eddie Murphy is also born with a Scorpio moon, that makes him all the more comfortable in this taboo-like character."

Sagittarius: Roseanne Roseannadanna

Roseanne's "blunt, no-nonsense approach to life and a knack for making everything a lot worse than it needs to be" resonates closely with Sagittarius placements. Mesa says this "no-filter reporter’s harsh approach is part of her charm" especially since "this Fire sign is known for its brutal honesty if it consists of embarrassing themselves on national TV."  

Capricorn: Opera Man

Capricorns are best known for upholding tradition and structure, and "Opera Man's over-the-top commitment to keeping up appearances (with his iconic cape) resembles this hardworking sign."

"Dressed like Dracula, Opera Man goes above and beyond to capture the timeless tradition of opera while staying committed to his craft — no matter how absurd it gets," Mesa adds.  

Aquarius: Beldar Conehead

Beldar and his Conehead family are extraterrestrials in the recurring sketch, which fits perfectly with Aquarius, who Mesa says are "the aliens" of the zodiac.

"Governed by Uranus, this Air sign is eccentric, unconventional and often misunderstood," she continues. "Beldar and his family are no exception since they don’t fit into society with all the Earthlings."

Pisces: Ms. Rafferty

Like Pisces, Ms. Rafferty has a dreamy, out-of-touch vibe and often appears fatigued and lost in her strange alien encounters.

"Her interactions with extraterrestrials are framed in colorful and hysterical euphemisms, especially when describing her own body with her encounters," Mesa explains. "Always a bit too cool for planet Earth, her laid-back, aloof nature fits with the otherworldly qualities of this Water sign."
