Ratched immediately became one of the most popular shows on Netflix when it premiered, and, since then, fans are binging it over and over again and diving deep into the characters it offers. From Mildred Ratched to Dr. Hanover, there are a lot of dynamic, unique, and intriguing characters to get to know.
In case fans are wondering which characters they're most like, or maybe for an explanation of their eccentric personalities, it's time to sort them into their matching zodiac signs and see what the stars have to say about who they are and why they do what they do.
Edmund Tolleson - Scorpio
This sign is actually a water sign, but it comes with a lot of fire. They're about passion, power, and ambition, and they're the most driven of the bunch. A Scorpio has a force to them, and they're full of excitement.
However, they're also compulsive and obsessive. They have secrets, and, in Edmund's case, he makes all of this known with mass murder—and through simply by being totally creepy. He's all the worst traits of this sign taken to an extreme.
Huck Finnigan - Sagittarius
Huck is one character that fans might wish they knew better. He takes a liking to Mildred for her 'angel' and 'merciful' qualities, and it's obvious that he has a big heart when he sabotages the hydrotherapy.
Honesty, optimism, and intellect are all qualities of a Sagittarius, and they're also known for being good-natured and innocent beings. Huck fits into this sign well and is a surprisingly likable character on the show.
Henry Osgood - Gemini
This zodiac sign is literally known for representing two personalities, and that's pretty explanatory of Henry Osgood. He's troubled, but he's also a cunning and intelligent young man.
He adapts to his circumstances, but, like a true Gemini, forgets to be serious and gets lost in jovial and youthful manners. Henry is spoiled, lashes out, makes rash decisions like cutting off his own limbs, and he shows some of the worst traits of the Gemini.
Nurse Dolly - Libra
Nurse Dolly might be one of the most complicated on the series, and it's probably because she's a Libra. She's charming, easy-going, sociable, and definitely lives in her own idealistic world.
Libras are also known for being super flirtatious and self-indulgent. Dolly proves all of these traits to an extreme and decides it's better to die in a gun fight than to lose the one she loves. She has a flair for drama, and her hopeless romanticism gets the best of her.
Governor George Wilburn - Aries
The reason Dr. Hanover and the Governor can't seem to get along might be because they're both far too arrogant and selfish. An Aries has many great qualities, but Wilburn certainly represents the worst of them.
He has a temper, he's impatient, and he's super condescending and hot-headed. He's apathetic and cruel, and his firing of Gwendolyn and his complete disregard for Dr. Hanover and Mildred show the worst of this character and this zodiac sign.
Gwendolyn Briggs - Virgo
Virgos are often misunderstood, but, underneath it all, they're determined, smart, caring, and totally open-minded beings. Gwendolyn doesn't judge Mildred and is open to her feelings.
Still, she's also super analytical and likes things to work the way they're supposed to. Like a true Virgo, Gwendolyn is practical and intelligent, but she's also a bit of a perfectionist. She sticks her nose where it doesn't belong (like some hospital deaths), like a true member of this zodiac sign would.
Lenore Osgood - Capricorn
This earth sign is the most disciplined and hard-working of them all. They're patient, practical, and full of ambition. Lenore Osgood, brilliantly portrayed by Sharon Stone, is one terrifying character, and she shows her determination and passion by refusing to let Dr. Hanover get away with hurting her son. Of course, a Capricorn is also known for being super pessimistic. They hold grudges and often forget how to have fun and smile. This is Lenore Osgood in a nutshell.
Nurse Betsy Bucket - Leo
Betsy Bucket is definitely a lion. This zodiac sign is known for being passionate, bold, proud, and a bit dramatic. They love the spotlight, and they think they deserve every second of it that they receive.
Bucket can be a bit annoying, but she's also super kind and loving. She deserves way better than Dr. Hanover, even if she also shows the Leo traits of being bossy and pompous. When she was head nurse, she wanted everyone to know.
Dr. Richard Hanover - Aries
Dr. Hanover is arrogant and driven, and this fire sign is known for being totally ambitious and hot-headed. They accept any challenge thrown their way and think about the consequences later - much like how he approaches any new therapeutic technology.
An Aries might just love this Netflix series the most, even if they don't want to be Hanover or the Governor, but they're pioneering and courageous and are also known for having a big temper. Like Hanover, this sign is impatient and impulsive. This show proves that being an Aries can have some pretty big consequences.
Nurse Mildred Ratched - Cancer
Throughout the series, it's really hard to know what Mildred's goals are, and, when she's actually being sincere. However, like a true Cancer, Mildred is incredibly tenacious and loyal. She will never give up on Edmund, and she'll do anything to make that happen.
This zodiac sign can be manipulative and moody, and they're known for being hard to get to know—as Gwendolyn even points out about Mildred. A Cancer is empathetic, but they know when to be cruel and get stuff done, just like Mildred Ratched.
