If we can't book a luxury getaway of our own, we'll settle for tuning into The White Lotus each week. The third season of Mike White's gloriously chaotic creation is officially underway, with the likes of Parker Posey, Lisa, Aimee Lou Wood, and Patrick Schwarzenegger gracing our screens each Monday night as guests (and staff) at The White Lotus in Thailand.
While it might be hard for us to relate to the hilariously out of touch lives of most of the characters this season, here at RUSSH, we've found another way to tap into their psyches: star signs. From Rick's enigmatic magnetism, to Victoria's southern sensibilities, we're looking to the cosmos to better understand the desires, secrets, and hidden motives of the latest crop of White Lotus guests. See which character your star sign correlates to, below.
Scorpio - Rick

Chelsea put it best when she said, "Scorpio. So secretive." Until recently, Rick was the most mysterious guest to grace Thailand, choosing mostly to brood while his partner soaked in the sites. Intense, highly private, and emotionally charged (but with a cool exterior) makes Rick a Scorpio, through and through.
Libra - Belinda

As a staff member at The White Lotus, Belinda oozes the hospitable charm of a Libra. No matter how complex or difficult the privileged guests who come across her spa are, Belinda always treats them with the natural diplomacy and sweetness of a Libran. The ultimate people pleaser.
Aries - Chelsea

High energy and independent, Chelsea won't let Rick's bad moods get in the way of enjoying her holiday. When the couple bicker, she wastes no time befriending Chloe instead. A true Aries power move, if you ask us.
Taurus - Victoria Ratliff

Taurus aren't afraid to indulge in life's pleasures — and neither is Victoria. The Ratliff matriarch is firmly focused on her own comfort at all times, and isn't afraid to voice what she needs (usually, another lorazepam).
Capricorn - Laurie

Capricorn are hard-workers driven by their career goals. Sound familiar? While she might not match the wealth status of her 'friends' Jaclyn and Kat, there's no doubt Laurie has ambition in spades, as a corporate lawyer in New York, grinding for a promotion to partner of her firm.
Pisces - Piper Ratliff

Pisces have a tendency to feel disconnected from the world around them — a lot like, we'd guess, how Piper feels around her dysfunctional family. More often than not, Pisces sensitive nature leaves them searching for meaning through spirituality, exactly how we've seen piper toying with the idea of escaping to Thailand permanently, and taking up residence at the meditation centre.
Gemini - Kate

Do we really need to explain this one? The changeable nature of Gemini comes out to play constantly in Kate, with the character adeptly switching it up depending on whose presence she's in. One thing's for sure, Jaclyn and Laurie should be wary of this social butterfly...
Leo - Jaclyn

Leo's are natural-born scene stealers, so it only makes sense that actress Jaclyn would be born under this sign. While getitng recognised while on vacation could prove tiresome, Jaclyn laps up the attention like a true Leo. Except, of course, when it comes from the more "mature" clientele of the hotel next door to The White Lotus...
Aquarius - Timothy Ratliff

Intellectual and a little aloof, Timothy embodies the sensibilities of an Aquarius. Hard working to a fault, those born under Aquarius thrive on freedom, and are usually more attuned to big-picture concepts. But when all starts to go south for Timothy at work, like a true Aquarius, he keeps his cards close to his chest.
Virgo - Mook

Mook is practical, organised, and has a natural inclination to take care of the White Lotus guests, making her most like a Virgo at heart. Like the earth sign, however, she also has a very grounded, realistic view of things. When Gaitok confesses his love for her, for example, she's quick to remind him that they've never even been on a date.
Cancer - Gaitok

Cancers are notoriously protective and sensitive. Sound familiar? In his role as White Lotus security guard, Gaitok is protective to the core (while, admittedly, not all that good at his job). And in his relationships, he's not afraid to wear his heart on his sleeve, stopping at nothing to win over Mook.
Sagittarius - Chloe

Chloe embodies the carefree, adventurous spirit of a Sagittarius. Flamboyant, independent, and always optimistic, whether she's convincing Greg to let her charter his boat, or flirting with Saxon from across the pool, Chloe is constantly embodying the spontaneity of a true Sagittarian.
