PAYTON'S PREDICTIONS: Which Action Hero Are You?

Aries: FOXY BROWN/FOXY BROWN

Leading the charge of female action heroes and operating as Aries energy is Foxy Brown. Played in all her glory she was dubbed “the meanest chick in town”. Aries is provocative and boundary pushing… just like the movie when it was released. 

Taurus: KATNISS EVERDEEN/THE HUNGER GAMES

While her skills as an archer make her seem like a Sagittarius and her “girl on fire” vibes speaks to Leo energy… Katniss is a true blue Taurus. While bulls are low key and tend to avoid the spotlight and leaving home if they can help it, their fierce loyalty to the ones they love drives them towards all manner of danger.

Gemini: JOHN MCLAIN/DIE HARD

Geminis are known for their wit and ability to out talk anyone out of anything in close vicinity. John McClaine is a force to be reckoned with and stands up for what he thinks is right. Regardless of what that outcome may be just like a Gemini

Cancer: DOM/THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS

Cancers can be really methodical and keep calm under pressure which would make them excellent career criminals. Dom gives off Cancer vibes through his loyalty, street smarts, and prioritization of his family and stoicism. 

Leo THE BRIDE OR BEATRIX KIDDO/KILL BILL

Never has there been a greater combination of blood, glamour and jumpsuits, than Uma Thurman as The Bride in “Kill Bill.” Leos know how to steal a scene, rock a uniform, go for broke and amplify drama just like Beatrix Kiddo. Big lion vibes. 

Virgo: INDIANA JONES/INDIANA JONES

Virgos shift between serious sensitivity and strong defense. Indiana Jones is the rare kind of hero that isn’t afraid to take a hit, or admit that it hurts. Virgos enjoy nostalgia and Jones is an archeologist so how much more nostalgic can you get. 

Libra: ELLEN RIPLEY/ALIEN

Libra is an air sign making Ellen’s chosen profession of spaceship warrant officer is very on brand. People pleasing is a hallmark of the Libra disposition that takes a heroic turn in the case of Ellen as she eventually sacrifices herself and refuses a life saving evil alien baby extraction for the benefit of mankind. 

Scorpio: JAMES BOND

Bond, played most famously by Sean Connery favors a tailored black uniform and scathing sarcasm, displays a weakness for wicked women and vengeance, trades in secrets and is essentially a creature of habit with trust issues that proves himself capable of the calm execution of sudden violence, all evidence a Scorpio birthright. He can defeat villains because he understands villains. Perhaps most telling and scorpionic of all, in the end, Bond always comes out on top.

Sagittarius: BRUCE LEE/ ENTER THE DRAGON

Sagittarians are progressive, philosophical and boundary pushing, a trinity made manifest in real life archer Bruce Lee whose seminal role in ‘Enter the Dragon,” cemented his status as a star without equal and revolutionized Hollywood by creating an iconic action movie utterly devoid of guns.

Capricorn: BRIAN MILLS/TAKEN

Within the zodiac, Capricorn, ruled by stern planet Saturn, represents the archetype of the father. Enter ultimate daddy Liam Neeson whose portrayal of retired CIA operative Bryan Mills bleeds Cap energy. While Mills’s birthdate is listed as June 15, we can trust that our man conceals the true details of his past and is in fact, a Capricorn. Taking the role of protective father far beyond the pale, Mills murders an innumerable amount of sex traffickers, lackeys, pimps, pedophiles and Frenchmen on the take in order to secure the safety of his daughter.

Aquarius: FURIOSA/MADMAX:FURY ROAD

Furiousa is a one-armed war captain who trades in a life of servitude for one of risk and freedom when she rescues a half dozen sex slaves from the tyrannical, respirator wearing cult leader Immortan Joe. Water bearers harbor utopian dreams and Furiosa is no exception, rhapsodizing on the near mythic perfection of the “Green Place,” where she aims to return.

Pisces: NEO/ THE MATRIX

Neo’s willingness to take an unspecified pill with little info leads me to lean towards Pisces vibes. Pisces are naturally open to altered states and parallel universes. In the Matrix, sunglasses are worn as protection and in daily life, Pisces opt for eyewear that disguises their tears, vices and truths.
