Friday Night Lights: Which Character Are You, Based On Your Zodiac Sign?

With a famous motto like “Clear eyes, full hearts, can’t lose,” it’s no wonder that Friday Night Lights is such a beloved TV drama. Watching the town of Dillon, Texas, feel so passionately about football is contagious, and the show has plenty of romance to keep viewers watching.

The show has some issues with insulting its female characters but besides that problem, the characters are sympathetic and fans become invested in their hopes, dreams, and love lives. From bold Julie Taylor to sweet Matt Saracen, popular kid Jason Street and handsome Tim Riggins, every zodiac sign can relate to one of these Dillon residents.

12 Sagittarius: Mindy Collette

Tyra’s older sister Mindy Collette has many traits of a Sagittarius sign. She doesn’t want a conventional job or life, and she has a free-spirited attitude.

Mindy is a victim of her circumstances: as she didn’t grow up with money or much affection from her family, she now finds herself raising kids with her husband Billy, Tim’s older brother. While she’s not against having a family, she does feel stuck in her situation, and it seems like she would prefer to have no responsibilities at all.

11 Capricorn: Jason Street

Of all the sad and moving scenes on Friday Night Lights, watching Jason Street get injured and lose his football dreams is one of the worst.

This is the catalyst for the series, as this event changes everything. Jason is a Capricorn as he’s got a traditional approach to life. He thought he would marry Lyla and become a football star and they would live happily ever after. Even when his plans change, he still wants to settle down and have a happy, peaceful life.

10 Aquarius: Landry Clarke

Fans were shocked when Landry murdered someone as that was really out of character for the sweet, dorky friend of Matt Saracen’s.

Besides that strange plotline, Landry is a classic Aquarius. Sometimes he’s friendly and can talk to anyone, and other times, he wants to hang out with Matt and just be himself. It’s interesting to watch him become closer to Tyra as they come from different worlds.

9 Pisces: Matt Saracen

Just like the best boyfriends on other teen dramas, Matt Saracen treats his girlfriend Julie Taylor with respect and kindness. Matt is one of the most likeable characters on Friday Night Lights as he takes care of his grandmother and has such a good heart.

Matt is definitely a Pisces sign. He is nice to everyone, even those who don’t deserve it, and he sometimes becomes overwhelmed by his emotions.

8 Aries: Smash Williams

Aries signs are passionate, strong people who don’t have a lot of fears when they want something.

Smash comes from a difficult home life but he doesn’t let anything stop him. He wants to succeed in the world of football and while he makes some wrong choices over the years, he’s always got good intentions. After he leaves Dillon, he makes his sports dreams come true and Coach Eric Taylor is thrilled for him.

7 Taurus: Tami Taylor

As a high school guidance counselor and, later, a principal, Connie Britton’s FNL character Tami Taylor is definitely a Taurus.

Many of Dillon’s residents are stubborn but Tami takes it to a whole other level. With her passionate speeches and belief that anyone can make their dreams come true, Tami is confident and fearless when it comes to helping her students. When this character wants something, she will make it happen, even if other parents or teachers make her life difficult (usually because the town places football at the center of everything).

6 Gemini: Eric Taylor

Kyle Chandler is famous for portraying Coach Eric Taylor on FNL and this character motivates others on a regular basis.

Geminis can relate to Coach Taylor, as this character has all the classic traits. He’s got a sensitive side, but he’s tough and expects a lot from his athletes. Eric is friendly and likes talking to people, and he’s good at making others think that he’s playing the game (no pun intended) when he’s still determined to do things his own way. Geminis can become comfortable in a new situation right away, and Eric is great at that, as he’s used to moving for his job.

5 Cancer: Tim Riggins

Tim Riggins is one of TV’s biggest heartthrobs and he dates many of the girls in Dillon, Texas, although Lyla is his one true love.

Riggins is relateable for Cancer signs, as he’s a sensitive and emotional homebody, even if he pretends to not care about anything. He’s comfortable hanging out in his yard with some beers and when he says “Texas forever,” he means it, as he really loves his home state. He just wants to be happy and settle down someday.

4 Leo: Tyra Collette

Tyra Collette is definitely a Leo sign. She’s had to be a strong person as she has grown up without a stable home to live in, and she doesn’t know what she wants to do with her life, but she would rather not stay in her small town.

Tyra is a fierce, independent person and just like Leos command attention, so does she. She’s nicer than she appears but she puts up a wall all the time because she can’t let a lot of people in.

3 Virgo: Lyla Garrity

Some characters are textbook Virgos as they do well in school, are always polite, and are neat and organized.

That describes Lyla Garrity perfectly. This character, played by Minka Kelly, has a bit of a crisis at the beginning of the series as her so-called flawless romance with Jason Street starts to come apart at the seams. She falls for Riggins and realizes that being perfect isn’t really necessary, but she’s always a hard worker.

2 Libra: Jess Merriweather

Just like Libra signs value fairness and politeness, Jess is a great character on Friday Night Lights who shares many of this zodiac sign’s traits.

Jess works at her family restaurant, Ray’s BBQ, and deals with the pain of losing her mom. Since she has younger siblings and her dad is on his own, she makes sure to be a mother figure to them. Jess cares about doing the right thing and being there for the people in her world.

1 Scorpio: Julie Taylor

Julie and Matt are a sweet couple and this character is definitely a Scorpio sign.

Whether dating an older guy at college (who is her teaching assistant) to getting engaged to Matt a young age, Julie does what she wants. She and her mom butt heads because they’re the exact same person and they both don’t like to be judged for their fearless attitude. Scorpio signs have passion and like to be leaders, and Julie is simply following in her mother’s footsteps.
