Aries: Haley Dunphy

“With great hotness comes great responsibility.” Haley is fierce, spontaneous and totally the headstrong Aries of the Dunphy household. Bold, impulsive and audacious — much like this Fire sign — Haley is always up for a challenge. She has that fiery spirit and doesn’t mind going after what she wants, even if it means acting recklessly in the process.
Taurus: Manny Delgado

“Hey, Jay, on the box it says ages 16 and up. Is this an appropriate gift for me?” Slow and steady with a natural appreciation for the finer things in life, Manny’s love for luxury and good food makes him a Taurus through and through. He’s also brutally frank in his approach, often catching his family members off guard. Like this Earth sign, Manny is practical in his pursuits, prioritizing his comfort.
Gemini: Lily Pritchett-Tucker

“Cry me a river. … Sorry, should I call you a wahmbulance?” Sharp, witty and extra chatty for her age group, Lily resembles the essence of Mercury-ruled Gemini in more ways than one. She’s quick on her feet and doesn’t hesitate to share her opinions or make her presence known. With a curious nature and that twinkle of mischief in her eye, she’s definitely the Gemini of the family — always cleverly shifting and inquiring.
Cancer: DeDe Pritchett

“Sweetheart, I don’t know about you, but that is not the way I was raised.” DeDe as a Cancer makes total sense — she’s nurturing, emotional and deeply connected to her family. She’s got that sensitive side and can be a little unpredictable with her mood swings, but at the end of the day, she’s always coming from a place of love and care, even if it’s a little complicated.
Leo: Gloria Pritchett

“I know one Colombian piece you won’t be playing with later.” Fiery, passionate and effortlessly glamorous, Gloria is a Leo in every sense of the word. She’s the queen of the family, and her confidence and vivacious personality light up any room she enters. She thrives on attention, loves her family fiercely and definitely has that “look at me” energy.
Virgo: Claire Dunphy

“Look at them: A minute ago they were babies, and now they’re driving, and soon we’ll all be dead.” Claire is organized, practical and always striving for perfection, which is very Virgoan. She’s the glue that holds the family together, even if it’s with a side of stress and a mile-long to-do. Claire is efficient, detail-oriented and always ready to take care of business, which is classic Virgo.
Libra: Mitchell Pritchett

“You always take this a little too far. Your nephew’s first birthday.” Much like this charming Air sign, Mitchell is all about balance, fairness and making sure everyone’s happy — he also has a killer sense of style, which is very Venusian. Diplomatic and socially conscious, Mitchell chooses to keep the peace in his relationships, especially seeing both sides of an argument, just like Libra.
Scorpio: Luke Dunphy

“…And I’ll take you to the top of a huge hill and just let go.” Luke may seem like the goofy, carefree kid, but don’t be fooled — he’s got a lot of that intense mystery, which is very Scorpio. He’s deeply loyal, a bit misunderstood and when he’s serious, you know he means business. He may not be the best at keeping secrets, but he’s tactful and observant, perhaps even to a fault.
Sagittarius: Phil Dunphy

“Claire, you’re a hard one to figure out. You don’t trust bad boys, and yet you married one.” Phil is that hysterical, fun-loving, always-optimistic dad who just loves life and isn’t afraid to go on wild adventures, even if they don’t always go as planned. Like Sagittarius, he’s got that adventurous and carefree vibe that makes him a match for this Fire sign. Always seeking fun and new experiences, Phil’s a free spirit at heart.
Capricorn: Jay Pritchett

“I’ve always seen life like a series of doors. Sometimes you get to choose the door you go through; sometimes you don’t get that choice.” A no-nonsense patriarch who’s all about hard work, building an empire and looking after his family, Jay’s dry humor and pragmatism resemble Capricorn’s Saturnian approach. He’s the type to say, “I did it my way,” and be proud of every step of the journey, much like the way this Earth sign perseveres toward the top of the mountain.
Aquarius: Alex Dunphy

“To be honest, I had to get out of there. I was exhausted from dumbing it down all day.” An intellectual overachiever who more often chooses to detach from the drama completely, Alex resembles an Aquarius with her quirks and silent rebellion. She’s usually thinking outside the box, striving to break the mold, which is very Uranian in nature. She also loves to push boundaries, and what Aquarian doesn’t love a little bit of chaos?
Pisces: Cameron Tucker

“Wow, you did it. You made figure skating sound even gayer.” Sensitive and overflowing with unconditional love, Cameron is undoubtedly the Pisces of the family — he’s dreamy, creative and occasionally over-the-top, but we wouldn’t have it any other way.
