Which Ancient Princess Represents Each Zodiac Sign? Aries is Sun Shangxiang, Aquarius is Princess Jianning!
Princesses Don’t Need to Understand the Harsh Realities of the World
As the saying goes, “A princess only needs to live happily; everything else will be taken care of by those who love her.” — Jiang Nan, Heavenly Inferno. In this light, let’s explore which legendary princesses embody the spirit of each zodiac sign, with a special focus on our beloved Aquarius.
Aries: Sun Shangxiang
Sun Shangxiang, the sister of Eastern Wu’s Sun Quan during the Three Kingdoms period, may not have held the official title of princess, but she certainly lived like one. Much like Aries women, she was fiercely brave and determined. Her unwavering loyalty to her husband, Liu Bei, even at the cost of estrangement from her family, cements her legacy as a true heroine.
Taurus: Xia Ziwei
As a hidden princess in My Fair Princess, Ziwei contrasts sharply with her counterpart Xiao Yanzi. Embodying the Taurus spirit, she is grounded, patient, and resilient—qualities that ultimately lead her to a fulfilling life.
Gemini: Xiao Yanzi
Though My Fair Princess is fictional, Xiao Yanzi’s vivacious and witty personality has left an indelible mark. Like Gemini women, she is the life of the party, though her playful antics sometimes border on the absurd.
Cancer: Princess Wencheng
Princess Wencheng, a Tang Dynasty royal, epitomizes the Cancerian devotion to family and homeland. Her marriage to the Tibetan king for the sake of diplomatic peace showcases her selflessness and patriotism.
Leo: Princess Taiping
Often compared to her ambitious mother, Empress Wu Zetian, Princess Taiping shares the Leo woman’s regal demeanor and thirst for power. Her life was a blend of grandeur and intrigue, much like the lioness herself.
Virgo: Princess Gaoyang
Daughter of Emperor Taizong of Tang, Princess Gaoyang defied societal norms with her rebellious spirit. Her affair with the monk Bianji reflects the Virgo’s tendency to live by their own moral compass, regardless of convention.
Libra: Princess Nongyu
Renowned for her beauty and musical talent, Princess Nongyu of the Spring and Autumn period even charmed phoenixes with her melodies. Like Libra women, she embodied grace and artistic brilliance.
Scorpio: Sun Luban
Sun Luban, the eldest daughter of Sun Quan, was a master strategist with an enigmatic aura—traits that align perfectly with the Scorpio woman’s mysterious allure.
Sagittarius: Princess Changping
Ming Dynasty’s Princess Changping was a wanderer at heart, embodying the Sagittarian love for adventure and justice. Her legendary exploits inspired the character Jiunan in The Deer and the Cauldron.
Capricorn: Princess Pingyang
Daughter of Emperor Jing of Han and wife of General Wei Qing, Princess Pingyang stands out as a paragon of virtue. Her quiet yet impactful contributions to the Han Dynasty mirror the Capricorn woman’s disciplined and noble nature.
Aquarius: Princess Jianning
From The Deer and the Cauldron, Princess Jianning is the quintessential Aquarius woman—unpredictable, spirited, and irresistibly charming. Though mischievous, she lights up every room with her wit and magnetism, making her the star of any social circle.
Pisces: Princess Yuanchun
The fictional Princess Yuanchun from The Princess Weiyoung starts as an innocent soul but darkens after life’s cruelties. This duality reflects the Pisces woman’s emotional depth and capacity for transformation.
Whether you’re an Aquarius like the dazzling Princess Jianning or resonate with another sign’s royal counterpart, these legendary figures remind us that every zodiac carries a unique spark of greatness. Which princess do you relate to the most? Share your thoughts below!
