🦂 Netflix and the Stars: Why Your Zodiac Picks Might Be Wrong (and How to Find Ones That Actually Fit)

It’s Halloween, the Sun is deep in Scorpio, and Netflix has been quietly playing astrologer.
Back in August, they launched a feature called “Your Zodiac Watch List” — curated recommendations based on your Sun sign. It’s a fun idea (who doesn’t want the cosmos to pick their next binge?), but as any true astro-lover knows, you are not just your Sun sign. been quick to call it out:

People have been quick to call it out:

“These Libra picks don’t match me at all!”
“I’m a Leo and hate half these shows!”

And honestly… they’re not wrong.

But what if the problem isn’t Netflix?
What if it’s how we’re looking at the stars?

🪞 You’re Not Just Your Sun Sign

Your Sun sign represents your vitality, purpose, and the light you’re learning to embody. It’s an essential part of who you are — but only one thread in a much larger cosmic tapestry.

Your chart holds ten planets across twelve signs and twelve houses, each describing a different part of your psyche and your life. When we only look at our Sun sign, it’s like watching the trailer instead of the full story.

That’s why some of Netflix’s “Zodiac Watch List” picks might completely miss the mark — they’re painting by Sun sign only, while the rest of your chart is quietly binge-watching something else.

🪐 The Real Cosmic Watchlist

Each planet in your chart rules a different kind of attraction, attention, or appetite — and all of them influence what you’re drawn to on screen.

Here’s a quick guide to your streaming archetypes:

• 🌞 Sun: What inspires and energizes you — stories of self-expression or creative power.

• 🌙 Moon: What comforts or soothes you — nostalgic re-watches, cozy favorites, or emotional catharsis.

• 💫 Mercury: What stimulates your mind — smart dialogue, twists, and puzzle-box plots.

• 💖 Venus: What you find beautiful or pleasurable — romance, aesthetic cinematography, or stories about love.

• 🔥 Mars: What excites or drives you — action, ambition, desire, intensity.

• 🪐 Jupiter: What expands your perspective — fantasy worlds, philosophy, growth-oriented narratives.

• ⚖️ Saturn: What grounds you — realism, history, discipline, resilience stories.

When you start noticing which planets are calling the shots, you can see how your viewing habits shift with the sky.

🦂 Scorpio Season and Chill

Right now, the Sun is traveling through Scorpio (October 22–November 21), highlighting themes of depth, truth, power, transformation, and emotional intimacy.

And here’s where it gets personal — I’m a triple Capricorn (Sun, Moon, Rising), which means my chart is usually practical, earthy, and serious. Yet when I opened Netflix’s Scorpio Season picks, I realized I’d already watched most of them.

Why? Because I have a concentration of planets in Scorpio in my 11th house — the realm of community, connection, and collective energy.

That means Scorpio Season doesn’t just activate mystery or transformation for me — it spotlights how I share those themes with others. So when the Sun moves through Scorpio each year, I’m drawn to stories that explore power dynamics within groups, emotional loyalty, secrets between friends, and the deeper undercurrents of human connection.

The astrology checks out — it’s just not based on my Sun sign.

💫 How the Seasons Shift Your Story

Think of the Sun as a cosmic flashlight, moving through your chart one house at a time.
Each season, it illuminates a new part of your life — and subtly shifts your interests, mood, and focus.

So even if you’re not a Scorpio, you’ll still feel Scorpio energy wherever it lives in your chart. That’s why your Netflix tastes (and even your reading list or playlists) evolve as the sky moves.

During Sagittarius season, for example, you might crave more adventurous, truth-seeking, or consciousness-expanding stories. When Capricorn season hits, you may feel pulled toward ambition, achievement, or legacy narratives. It’s astrology in action — not static personality typing.

🧭 Find Your Streaming Style

If you want to create your own cosmic watchlist, here’s how:

1. Pull up your birth chart.

   • Use sites like Astro.com, Astro-Seek, or

   • send me an email with your birth info (date, time, place) and I'll send you a free birth chart

2. Find which house Scorpio rules — that’s the area of life currently illuminated.

3. Check if you have planets there — they’ll add extra flavor to your viewing moods.

Then, let the themes of that house guide your genre or vibe.

Here’s a quick decoder for all twelve:

When you know which house is being lit up each season, you’ll start to notice how your tastes shift — not just in what you watch, but in what moves you.

✨ The Takeaway

Astrology isn’t about labels — it’s about layers.
You contain all twelve signs, all twelve houses, all twelve archetypes. The beauty lies in seeing how they weave together.

So, next time Netflix tells you what a Gemini should watch, take it as a cosmic wink — not a command.
You’re not one sign. You’re the entire zodiac — and each season, a different part of you takes the remote.

Happy Scorpio Season and Happy Halloween, friends.
May your watchlist be deep, dark, and delightfully revealing. 🖤🦂✨
