Similarly, Cancer is also sympathetic to others and can be pessimistic about situations, but they're often more ready for them than they think.

Leo (July 23 – Aug. 22): Donkey Kong
Both Donkey Kong and Leos are the kings of the jungle, and the similarities don't end there.

Virgo (Aug. 23 – Sep. 22): Wrinkly Kong
Virgos have a lot in common with the Kong family matriarch, Wrinkly. Both are hardworking perfectionists with a strong knowledge spread across a number of subjects, but are also kind and always willing to share what they know with anyone willing to listen. They also tend to be a little shy, burying themselves in books and focusing completely on their work, but they do know how to cut loose and have fun every once in a while.

Libra (Sep. 23 – Oct. 22): Diddy Kong
Diddy Kong is Libra personified. He puts his friends above all else, and works better as part of a team that he does on his own. He's also dedicated to keeping the peace, willing to go on any adventure necessary in order to restore harmony to the land he loves. Like any Libra, he can be a bit wishy-washy, but we won't hold that against him.

Scorpio (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21): Candy Kong
Scorpios are captivating and strong-willed, making them similar to the charming Candy Kong.

Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19): Cranky Kong
Capricorns can be the old fogeys of the zodiac, making them most like Cranky Kong. They can sometimes be traditional and a little stuffy, but they're responsible and determined, and they definitely know their stuff. They're driven and hate making mistakes. This can also make them patronizing, as they demand the same high level of care from others that they would put in themselves. Some may even accuse Capricorns of being a little cranky themselves—but a Capricorn rarely lets people down.

Aquarius (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18): Dixie Kong
Dixie Kong has the traits of curiosity, imagination and independence that define an Aquarius. She's an independent idea gal who does everything her own way. However, she's also very friendly and altruistic. She also knows how to go with the flow, and has the ability to bounce back from anything life throws at her. Not even the biggest of obstacles can stop her.

Pisces (Feb. 19 – March 20): Lanky Kong
It only makes sense for artistic Pisces to be paired with the silly and flamboyant Lanky Kong. Both are creative and unique. They tend to be daydreamers, spending much of their time coming up with elaborate fantasies that are probably never going to happen. But even if they're not super grounded in reality, they're always selfless in times of need.
