20 years ago on March 24, 2005, The Office aired on NBC, enriching our Thursday evenings with tales from the Dunder Mifflin Paper Company, Inc.
For nine years, we watched coworkers become family, reminding us of the hijinks we endure at the work place.
Astrologically, the 20th anniversary is a big moment for the beloved TV show. A solar eclipse occurs five days after The Office’s anniversary on March 29, activating the series’ natal North Node of Destiny in Aries.
As a result, the sitcom is finding new audiences through streaming and will soon have a new spinoff. This is the fate of the show — to be cherished by many generations.
To celebrate the show’s anniversary, read on to find out which character from The Office aligns with your zodiac sign.
Aries: Erin Hannon and Gabe Lewis

Erin Hannon is a big ball of energy, eager to face any challenge and the first to encourage others to aim high in everything they do, bringing a golden retriever version of Aries energy.
Coordinating Director of Emerging Regions for Sabre, Gabe Lewis, has a lot of arrogance and corrects people constantly, he’s not afraid to wear full drag for Halloween, and “skeleton man” has many outbursts that seem to be contagious.
Taurus: Pam Beesly and Oscar Martinez

Pam Beesly is patient to a fault which is shown by her drawn-out relationship with Roy and in dealing with Michael. But as much as these men annoy her, she still cares for them deeply as evidenced when Michael buys her artwork.
Oscar Martinez’s stubborn nature is reason enough to say he’s Taurean. But he was also a bit selfish in the situation with the senator, and that is another trait common to a Taurus.
Gemini: Kelly Kapoor, Roy Anderson and Clark Green

Kelly Kapoor’s love for gossip and social nature are traits of Gemini that make us love her. However, the sign of twins also has a more indecisive and flaky side, which Roy Anderson displays with Pam. Geminis are often very funny and intelligent, which is why Clark Green also exemplifies the traits of the sign, including being a nosy coworker.
Cancer: Phyllis Vance and Andy Bernard

Dunder Mifflin’s longest employee, Phyllis Vance, is a sensitive and soft-spoken sales member of the Scranton office who cares deeply about things and is loyal almost to a fault.
The more moody side of Cancer falls to Andy Bernard who is desperate to find someone to give all of his love to. He is also very creative, as Cancers are known to be, with his singing endeavors.
Leo: Michael Scott and Ryan Howard

No stranger to being in the spotlight, Leos will intentionally place themselves in it, because that’s where they feel good. Michael Scott is just such a man, and while they get a bad rap for making themselves the center of attention they can also be quite generous as we’ve seen Michael be many times. A darker hubris is seen in Ryan Howard thinking he is better than everyone.
Virgo: David Wallace and Toby Flenderson

Dunder Mifflin chief financial officer David Wallace has zero interest in The Office’s constant zany hijinks, but in classic Virgo fashion is a saint with patience with them all despite how much he hates having his time wasted.
Michael’s rivalry with Toby Flenderson is explained by two things, Leo needs praise and Virgo needs order, they don’t give either other the leeway for harmony in these capacities.
Libra: Jim Halpert and Holly Flax

Jim Halpert’s pranks are unmatched which requires creativity with a sliver of scheming which is just like Libra. He’s also very charismatic and charming making him most people’s favorite character and well-liked at Dunder Mifflin.
The romance that bloomed between Michael and Toby’s HR department replacement, Holly Flax, could only have happened so in-your-face with a Libra woman, and that ability to match his silliness is also a common attribute for Libra.
Scorpio: Meredith Palmer and Creed Bratton

The creeper of The Office simply oozing with mystery, Creed Bratton, has many secrets and this is a quality of Scorpio, but is also weirdly honest about some of his strange behaviors, bordering on being inappropriate.
Much like Meredith Palmer’s behavior much of the time, neither has a qualm with the attributes that make them unique or talking about their sex lives very openly, as well as their recreational pursuits in great detail.
Sagittarius: Darryl Philbin and Robert California

Darryl Philbin has such a vibrant personality like Sagittarius. He dares to play music for an audience having so much fun with it, he is also ambitious and focused on personal growth much more than you’d think.
Our Lizard King, Robert California, exudes confidence for days and is very philosophical. Directness is also a common quality and being selective of who he shares his many life stories with.
Capricorn: Stanley Hudson, Angela Martin, and Karen Filippelli

As far as being antisocial is concerned, Stanley Hudson takes the cake. His biggest dream is to live alone in a lighthouse that launches into space. But Jim’s girlfriend before Jan — Karen Filippelli — exemplifies the Capricorn trait of ambition, willing to move with Jim if he gets the job, and willing to make sacrifices in her career.
Capricorns are not just tenacious, they are also often the most responsible in the room taking on extracurriculars like Angela Martin in the party planning committee.
Aquarius: Dwight Schrute and Nellie Bertram

If Aquarius placements are aliens, then Dwight Schrute is surely their leader. They are visionaries so his running a beet farm is right on brand. His recall for statistics and intelligence is also very Aquarian and he shares a trait of detachment with Nellie Bertram.
Nellie also tells strange and long stories that often lose their point to the listener. We don’t know very much about Val Johnson, but her inability to recognize Darryl’s flirtation for so long makes the aloof attribute fit her in with this sign.
Pisces: Kevin Malone, Jan Levinson, and Pete Miller

Pisces tend to be a bit dreamy and gullible so Kevin Malone certainly falls under this sign. As an accountant who invents numbers that don’t exist for reports, he’s not the sharpest tool. While the moodiness of Jan Levinson qualifies her, her adaptability makes it even more applicable. She gets over things and people as quickly as she gets upset about them. Finally, Pete Miller tends to avoid any conflicts — like Pisces — using his intuition and has big dreams for his love life.
