For more than 30 years, Alone in the house movies have become a holiday staple that combines the poignant mood of the season with hilarious slapstick moments to become the ultimate holiday classic.
The film focuses on young Kevin McCallister (Macaulay Culkin) — who accidentally left home alone during the holidays — and his clever plans to outwit a pair of criminals who attempt to rob his home on Christmas Eve.
Whether you eat kraft mac and cheese on Christmas Eve or have trouble carrying holiday groceries, Alone in the house offers something for everyone. But what can astrology tell you about which legendary character you are most like?

Earth signs can relate to Kevin’s resourcefulness and meticulous planning in setting his traps, while Air signs will feel closely connected to EF Duncan, the eccentric owner of Duncan’s Toy Chest in Home Alone 2: Lost in New York.
Read on to find out which Home Alone character you are, based on your zodiac sign according to astrologer Valerie Mesa.
Aries: Kate McCallister

Kate’s assertive and fearless energy is closely related to Aries’ fiery personality. Mesa says that Kate uses that energy the moment she realizes Kevin is being dumped and makes her decisions “quickly and efficiently.”
“She shows the Aries tendency to act first and think later when trying to catch a flight back to her son,” adds Mesa.
Taurus: Uncle Frank

Uncle Frank’s “stubbornness, materialism and indulgence” is mostly seen through movies, which is closely related to Taurus energy. Mesa says that Uncle Frank is “focused on practicality and comfort, like when he comments that the hotel in Miami doesn’t look like his honeymoon” in the second film.
Gemini: Mr. Hector

Mr. Hector exudes Gemini’s “clever, cunning and rash” nature as he investigates Kevin when he arrives at the Plaza Hotel. Mesa says since “Gemini is ruled by Mercury, the planet of the mind – this includes all forms of communication, logistics and paperwork – something Mr. Hector mastered overseeing things at a prestigious hotel in the Big Apple.”
Cancer: Heather McCallister

Heather’s “nurturing Cancer traits” are most present when she cares for Kevin when he is left behind. Mesa explains that she is “protective of him and really cares about the family” and is “visibly upset and worried” when the family realizes Kevin is missing.
Leo: Buzz McCallister

Buzz’s confident and sometimes boastful attitude is closely related to “Leo archetypes,” says Mesa. “He often brags about what he knows and constantly makes fun of Kevin,” adding that his “dominant personality is like a Leo, especially in the way he claims to be the head of the house.”
Virgo: Kevin McCallister

Smart and resourceful Kevin is closely related to Virgo energy. Mesa says these “Virgo traits come through in his attention to detail and problem-solving skills, especially when desperate times call for desperate measures. He is meticulous in setting elaborate traps for burglars and practical when alone at home, even venturing into the store to buy a toothbrush.”
She adds that, like his character, Culkin is also a Virgo, which makes it easier to embody Kevin’s key traits that make him successful against hard-nosed robbers Harry and Marv.
Libra: Peter McCallister

As the head of the McCallister family, Peter is “harmonious and diplomatic” like a Libra and “a peacemaker in the family.” Mesa says throughout the film that “he’s the calm, reasonable parent who calms Kate down when things go wrong.”
Scorpio: Harry Lyme

“Harry’s strong determination to rob the McCallister house makes him the quintessential Scorpion,” says Mesa. “His ability to scheming and scheming—such as showing up at the McCallister house disguised as a policeman and his plan to trick Kevin later in the film—shows Scorpio’s strategic, sometimes sadistic side.”
Scorer: Marv Murchin

Marv’s “overly optimistic approach and risk-taking nature” match the energy of a Sagittarius perfectly. Mesa explains that “he and Harry continue their mission with a can-do attitude, despite setbacks.”
“His ‘brilliant ideas’—though often misguided—reflect the adventurous, carefree spirit of this fire sign,” adds Mesa.
Capricorn: “Old Man” Marley

Serious and reserved, “Old Man” Marley is initially misunderstood for his quiet, austere nature—considered very Saturnian, according to Mesa.
“However, when Kevin gets to know him, he realizes that Marley is a hard-working, family-oriented man,” she continues. “Marley also feels responsible for reconciling with her son, which reflects Capricorn’s traditional and obedient nature.”
Aquarius: EF Duncan

“EF Duncan’s eccentric and humanitarian nature parallels Aquarius’ desire for progress,” says Mesa. “His unique toy store—Duncan’s Toy Chest in New York City—serves a wide range of customers, offering toys you wouldn’t normally find anywhere else.” Mesa adds that she has a “slightly unconventional approach to work, like supporting Kevin when he needs it.”
Pisces: “Lady Pigeon”

The “compassionate, sensitive nature” of Lady Dove fits perfectly with the overall character of Pisces. Mesa says she “has a deep sympathy for Kevin, and her emotional connection to him is clear when she comforts him and tells him her sad story.”
Mesa adds that “her dreamy, unearthly qualities are also shown through her bond with the pigeons and her understanding of Kevin’s loneliness.”
