No matter your gender, presentation, or relationship with darkness, we should all aspire to have a bit of goth girl in us. Who wouldn't want to be so bold, unafraid, intelligent, and spooky? The real question is, which type of goth girl are you? For quick and easy reference, each goth girl has her own zodiacal alignment - not all goths are built equally.

Some are in a league of their own, marching to the beat of their own drums. The goth girl zodiac celebrates the vast multitudes of goth girl personalities represented in the media and in ourselves. What you discover about your inner goth girl may frighten you!Â
Known for her singular hyper-focus on justice, Lisbeth Salander embodies the classic Aries approach to interpersonal relationships. For her and many other Aries, everything is a conquest, but there are many benefits to gaining her trust.

Salander is dedicated to whatever objective she sets for herself - on her own terms.

Selina Kyle and her alter-ego, Catwoman, are as different as night and day. Kyle lives as a meek, soft-spoken secretary, while Catwoman is an unhinged vigilante with a questionable moral compass. As disparate as these two identities may seem, they synergize perfectly to create one complex individual, which is the heart of what it means to be a Gemini.

The drama of it all!
