As you go through life, it’s nice to know that someone–or something–is in your corner. These mythological creatures will always have your back, guiding and inspiring you. Find out which beast of legend is your mythological spirit guide based on your Zodiac sign!
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Congrats, Aries! You get the legendary dragon as your mythological guide. Dragons are fiery and proud, just like you. They don’t hold back, and their enemies have no chance of getting away without ending up singed.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Nature-loving Taurus is lucky to have the dryad as your guide. These mythological creatures are the protectors of nature. They take their job very seriously, and–since they are literally tree spirits–spend most of their lives watching over their home turf.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
As an Air sign, Gemini is naturally drawn to creatures with wings. The mischievous fairy is your mythological guide, reminding you to stay curious and have fun. Fairies are unpredictable, capable of creating beauty or playing naughty pranks on the unwary.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Cancer can often be misunderstood, just like a werewolf. Although you might be changeable and ruled by the moon, you are also a fiercely loyal protector of your pack.
Leo (July 23-August 22)
The fierce griffin is your mythological guide. Griffins are half lion, half eagle, and all business. They are majestic creatures that are revered across many cultures–just like you!
Virgo (August 23-September 22)
As one of the wisest and most intellectual signs of the Zodiac, your mythological guide needs to be smart and savvy. That’s why a Sphinx is ideal for you, Virgo. These fearsome guardians used both riddles and their claws to prevent the unworthy from trespassing in their domain.
Libra (September 23-October 22)
Libra is partnered with the mysterious sylph, an air spirit that loves to discover secrets and watch the world from their perch in the clouds. Like Libra, sylphs hate conflict and will avoid it at all costs.
Scorpio (October 23-November 21)
Mysterious, passionate, and a little bit dangerous? That sounds like Scorpio… and like the classic vampire. People are naturally drawn to the magnetic presence of a vampire, but that can be a dangerous proposition.
Sagittarius (November 22-December 21)
The constellation Sagittarius is a centaur, and that’s truly the mythological creature that beast serves as your guide. Centaurs have a dual nature, both warlike and scholarly. They’re very smart and often depicted as teachers or poets in ancient myths.
Capricorn (December 23-January 20)
Although there are some mythological creatures that incorporate aspects of the goat, like Capricorn, your adventurous sign has more in common with an elf than a chimera or a faun. You love nature and are given to embarking on quests–even if the goal is only to enjoy yourself.
Aquarius (January 20-February 18)
As an Aquarius, you’re guided by the undine, a lesser-known water spirit from mythology. Undines are beautiful and mysterious, and often serve as messengers between the realms.
Pisces (February 19-March 20)
Is there any doubt that Pisces would have a mermaid as a mythological guide? This sign of the Zodiac is already closely associate with fish and water. Mermaids are complex creatures, longing for land but also sometimes luring sailors to their doom.
