Everyone is aware that Among Us is a brutal, unrelenting exposé on the darkest and most desperate facets of the human condition. It follows naturally that, to master this psychologically intimate venture, an Among Us player needs to seize every possible insight into the minds of their opponents.

Why not look to the stars for insight? What could be more appropriate? For does not the hideous Shakespearean power play of Among Us take place in that very ethereal domain? What’s more, astrological insights have fueled human thought for most of our history. And now, they’re about to help us eject our squat, armless victims into the vacuum of space.

12 Aries: The Fire Sign Slayer

Plans? Schemes? Aries imposters don’t need either. They don’t need to be careful. Expect a trail of dead bodies within moments of crewmate boots hitting the deck, leading right back to an Aries who’s probably in the process of sabotaging something. They’re bold. They’re brash. They’ll make any accusation as long as it’ll save their neck.

Their wont for making accusations is what makes Aries hard to read, because even as a crewmate they will probably be at the forefront of pointing fingers and ejecting people. They’ll take charge of emergency meetings and make sure someone gets executed… but don’t necessarily trust them to make an informed choice.

11 Taurus: Is Gonna Do Their Thing

This bull might run from task to task as a crewmate, committed to winning through sheer determination and expecting others to do the same. Or perhaps they’ll leave to get a snack and cost the team the game. Those dang independent-minded Tauruses, they really don’t mind being alone. In fact, they might use it as a pretext to accuse players who come too close, and stick to the accusation until that player is ejected. Alternately, they might want to buddy up, choosing to trust and defend their buddy until it’s too late.

A Taurus imposter is deadly, but not exceptionally so. They kill slowly, and will probably stay silent through meetings. However, if accused, a Taurus imposter will likely flatly deny all accusations, even after everyone’s already settled on their guilt.

10 Gemini: Prepare To Be Regaled

If a Gemini is an imposter, watch for errors. They’re probably going to make them - probably going to make a kill with a witness present. The trouble is that even when that happens, Gemini tend to be annoyingly creative and verbose with their lies. This means they’ll either convince the rest of the crew or they’ll screw up some details of their diatribe and be found out. Watch for those details.

Gemini as crewmates like to have discussions (perhaps even after the buzzer), but can also tend to cast their votes prematurely. The good news is that they keep the game fresh. The bad news is… they keep the game confusing.

9 Cancer: “I Trusted You!”

Cancers are going to do something both emotional and less-than-ideal, that’s just the way it is. Kill them in one game? They’ll airlock you in the next one. Betray them after an entire session of palling around? You better bet that’s a personal offense. A Cancer will fight for someone else if they like what they’ve been up to, but cross a Cancer too dramatically and they might just rage-quit. The former does mean that they make good crewmates. They’ll stick with you and watch your back.

A Cancer will likely be very offended when accused, whether guilty or no. They shouldn’t be all too difficult to suss out.

8 Leo: Guns Blazing

A Leo is probably going to be involved in the discussion, whether they have anything relevant to say or not. Maybe they’ll be weighing in on who sounds the most guilty. Maybe they’ll be making plans and getting annoyed when no one follows them. A Leo crewmate is probably the wannabe-Master Chief of the gang, and doesn’t get particularly concerned about their chances after others die off.

A Leo imposter? They’ll go for the big plays and tend not to hesitate about kills.

7 Virgo: The Earth Sign Elite

Those crazy people who actually check security cams? Those are probably Virgos. They’re the ones to chime in and point out the flaw in someone’s alibi, to report with supreme confidence, to distrust someone due to a few moments of being followed around. Virgo crewmates can be trusted to do their tasks and nail down imposters, but they’ll probably hurt someone’s feelings in the process.

Virgo imposters are likely well-practiced and hard to catch. They’re the kind to self-report and blame someone else.

6 Libra: The Interrogator

When the Skip Vote button gets abused or the meeting timer runs out, there’s likely a Libra around to roll your eyes at. They like to check and double-check other peoples’ stories, something they do especially thoroughly when they’re guilty themselves. Libras might also hesitate as imposters, then react with an act of nonchalance when accused.

Libra crewmates like to be able to clear their fellow crew of suspicion. They like to think they know people.

5 Scorpio: The Archvillain

Frankly, a Scorpio shouldn’t even bother with Among Us… they’re usually guilty from the moment they log in. People seem to have a natural distrust of Scorpio explanations and Scorpio accusations. Sure, Scorpios will sometimes try to reason out the real story behind a murder tale, but there’s always something oddly untrustworthy about their logic. Sometimes, it’s because they are, in fact, telling ridiculous lies. And always, other people’s suspicions and their successes will make Scorpios complain.

Melodramatic Scorpios are drawn to heart-wrenching betrayals and terrifying predicaments. Scorpio imposters, mad with power, will laugh maniacally. Guaranteed.

4 Sagittarius: “It’s Just A Game, Man!”

A Sagittarius crewmate is probably going to run off alone and die. There’s no helping it. But Sagittariuses do also love to keep an eye on people, looking for something to scream over voice chat about them. They don’t have the diligence of other signs, though. So even as a crewmate, they might just outright lie to get the votes they want. It’s more fun that way.

On that note, yes: depend on the fact that a Sagittarius is always impatient for their turn to be an imposter. The sad part is that they will often get caught really, really quickly.

3 Capricorn: The Task-Doer

Those rare games in which the crew actually gets to do all their tasks and can claim victory? A hard-working Capricorn may just be the hero of that hour. Capricorns go into games with goals and methods in mind, especially if they have the challenge of being an imposter. If a Capricorn immediately runs off in the direction of O2 and O2 is sabotaged… accusing them is probably a decent bet. Capricorns can sometimes be too impatient for subtlety.

2 Aquarius: The Big Thinker

Aquarius is a mysterious one. An Aquarius player will often be involved in discussions, but only in something of a noncommittal and non-revealing way. Nevertheless, other players do want to believe in their answers and trust their insights. It’s just that giving their logic too much attention… tends to make it fall apart. They’re simply thinking too big. So is the Aquarius lying or just doing their very best? It’s a mystery.

An Aquarius crewmate will definitely be giving the game 110% effort. Aquarius imposters are unpredictable. Some of them are even the type to self-report.

1 Pisces: The Escapist

Pisces tend to get really into things, so a Pisces who plays Among Us is most likely a veteran player. It’s a game that suits the Pisces temperament: they’re good at sensing the inner life of other people. While that intuition does really help with identifying imposters, it can make a Pisces predictable. A Pisces imposter will be very aware of others’ suspicions: they often try to speak first and give excessive, elaborate proof of their innocence. If they say something that’s just too perfect, it’s probably a lie.

To their credit, Pisces crewmates will put the effort in to keep their comrades alive. Unless, of course, they get distracted. Then it’s anyone’s game.
