Which Adam Sandler Character You Are, Based on Your Zodiac Sign

In honor of Billy Madison's 30th anniversary, see which Adam Sandler character you are, based on your zodiac sign.

Adam Sandler has brought laughs on TV and the big screen since the 1990s when he first joined Saturday Night Live as a writer and cast member. As a Virgo, Sandler is meticulous and methodical, especially when it comes to his art and craft. Astrologer Evan Nathaniel Grim previously told PEOPLE that Virgos "have this quirky sense of humor because they can be sort of self-deprecating, and … that’s a type of comedy that really resonates with people.”

"Virgos will notice the … little oddities in life that other people don’t, and they will poke fun at themselves," Grim explained. "But they will also poke fun at other people and point out all of their sort of weird behaviors.”

Even if you don't share the same star sign as Sandler, the signs can easily relate to any of his iconic characters. For example, Earth signs may resonate with Longfellow Deeds from Mr. Deeds while Water signs may relate to Barry Egan from Punch-Drunk Love.

Aries: Bobby Boucher from The Waterboy

As Mesa notes, Sandler's character in The Waterboy is "passionate, competitive and a little hot-headed" much like fiery Aries placements. She adds that even with "his lowkey fits of rage and athletic talent, he becomes an unstoppable force once he taps into his confidence."

Taurus: Sonny Koufax from Big Daddy

Sonny is known to be "loyal, stubborn and protective" just like a typical Taurus placement. But Mesa says he "finds comfort in his simple pleasures but ultimately proves he’s got a heart of gold." "If Julian had not shown up at his doorstep unexpectedly, Sonny wouldn’t have changed a single thing about his lifestyle," Mesa continues. "This mindset resembles this Fixed sign’s stubborn and routing-loving nature."

Gemini: Nicky from Little Nicky

In Little Nicky, Nicky "embodies Gemini’s duality" throughout the film. Mesa says Nicky is "quirky and unpredictable with a bit of mischief" like this Air sign. "In addition to being witty, he’s curious and adaptable, even when left with no choice but to survive in the human world with a talking bulldog," Mesa adds.

Cancer: Henry Roth from 50 First Dates

As a hopeless romantic with a nurturing heart, Henry Roth embodies the personality traits of a Cancer. Mesa explains that his "devotion and day-to-day commitment to Lucy — despite her memory loss — resembles this Water’s sign empathy and emotional sensitivity." She adds that the character is willing to "go to great lengths for love," which is a typical Cancer sign.

Leo: Happy Gilmore from Happy Gilmore

Like Leo signs, "Happy is loud, dramatic, and always the center of attention." Mesa adds that in the film, Happy is "naturally theatrical and super competitive, resembling this Fire sign’s courage and determination to win the world’s heart."

Virgo: Longfellow Deeds from Mr. Deeds

In Mr. Deeds, Longfellow "embodies the practical and problem-solving side of Virgo," just like Sandler himself. Mesa adds that he is also "practical, hardworking and willing to be a helping hand" while he likes to "keep things simple." However, you can't "underestimate his ability to analyze a situation and outsmart everyone around him."

Libra: Robbie Hart from The Wedding Singer

As a true romantic, struggling to get over his ex after being left at the altar, Robbie loves love, just like Libra placements. In the film, Mesa says he’s "charming, witty and a natural entertainer" and only a true Libra could" serenade their way to their happily ever after.

Scorpio: Barry Egan from Punch-Drunk Love

Mesa says "Barry resembles the enigmatic Scorpio in more ways than one." In the film, Barry is "intensely private, emotionally complex and drawn to depth and passion" and has a "quiet, brooding nature." But when he truly loves someone, "he loves deep." She adds that you "don’t want to push him too far" since "his rage is as powerful as his tenderness."

Sagittarius: Billy Madison from Billy Madison

Just like a happy-go-lucky Sagittarius, Billy Madison is known to be "adventurous, playful and forever young." Mesa explains that "Billy resists responsibility and lives for the moment" and "his return to school is also very Jupiterian in essence as it is the planet of wisdom, expansion and education."

Capricorn: Howard Ratner from Uncut Gems

Like Capricorns, Howard can be "ambitious to a fault" and relentlessly chases success, takes risks and pushes for the next big opportunity. "His hustle never stops, even when it probably should," Mesa continues. "Similar to Capricorn's celestial ruler — Saturn — Howard is ruthlessly pragmatic in his approach, putting everyone else's feelings on the back burner."

Aquarius: Zohan Dvir from You Don’t Mess with the Zohan

Zohan has Aquarius' rebellious spirit and is known to be "strange, wildly unpredictable and always ahead of his time." Mesa also notes that Zohan has "unconventional skills, an inventive mindset and refuses to conform to societal expectations."

Pisces: Dave Buznik from Anger Management

Much like Pisces, Dave Buznik is polite, introverted, empathetic and adaptable. At the beginning of the film, he "lacks boundaries," but Mesa says he is also "private about his personal life" which "leaves him no choice but to surrender and be vulnerable when thrown into chaos."
