17 Famous Scorpio Celebrities That Live Up To Their Star Sign

They're known for being ambitious, mysterious, and passionate.

Scorpio is often mistaken for being a fire sign, but it actually falls under the water element. Like fellow water signs Cancer and Pisces, Scorps are known for their intuition and emotional capacity. On their best day, Scorpios can be ambitious, mysterious, and passionate; but they can also be calculating and manipulative on their worst. They’re represented by the symbol of the scorpion, after all. For Scorpios, it’s all about balance. Those who fall under this Halloween-adjacent zodiac sign tend to develop intense connections in love and friendship once you can find a way to make them trust you — and if you can get below the surface (and evade the sting of their tail in the process), relationships with Scorpios are sure to last. Check out some of the best-known Scorpio celebrities below.  

Who Are the Biggest Scorpio Celebrities?

Because Scorpios are strategic, ambitious, and loyal, it can be useful to have role models who share your star sign. Below are just a few of the Scorpio celebrities that live up to the spookiest sign in the zodiac. 

1. Tracee Ellis Ross (October 29)

Film and fashion icon Tracee Ellis Ross is best known for her roles in the shows Girlfriends, which ran from 2000 to 2008, and 2014’s Blackish. Scorpios tend to have a profound understanding of emotions and relationships, and many of Ellis Ross’ characters share deeply honest and universal experiences. She is also known for her work in fashion, both as a model and fashion editor, and has worked as a singer, producer, and television host to boot. 

2. Katy Perry (October 25)

Katy Perry is a 2010s pop star who wrote some insanely catchy tunes, including “I Kissed a Girl,” “Hot ‘n Cold,” and “Firework.” While she’s not the only super-famous Scorpio singer, she’s certainly one of the most notorious. Her songs, productions, and costumes are creative and bold, and she started a Las Vegas concert residency in 2021. But Perry is no stranger to public feuds, having had infamous “beef” with Taylor Swift that was often fueled by media attention; still, the two seem to have reconciled their differences in recent years.

3. Rita Wilson (October 26)

The wife of famous actor Tom Hanks, Rita Wilson is a notable actress, singer, and producer in her own right. She has also performed on Broadway and received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2019. Her career began with an appearance on the Brady Bunch, but she has since starred in shows and films like Frasier, Sleepless in Seattle, and Runaway Bride.

She is perhaps best known for an iconic scene in the movie Ghost, where Patrick Swayze and Moore share a sensual — and paranormal — moment at the pottery wheel. She has performed in a wide range of roles and genres, even shaving her head for the film G.I. Jane. Moore had a somewhat controversial (at the time) May-December marriage with Ashton Kutcher from 2005 to 2013.

7. Julia Roberts (October 28)

We love our Princess of Genovia. Anne Hathaway has taken on a wide range of roles, from her start in the The Princess Diaries series to The Devil Wears Prada, set in the New York fashion editorial world. She also brought believable emotional turmoil to the big screen in Les Misérables and Brokeback Mountain. Hathaway has starred in romances, comedies, dramas, and action movies.

We love a romantic comedy queen, and Meg Ryan reigns over all. She’s starred in some of the most beloved rom-coms of all time, including When Harry Met Sally, You’ve Got Mail, and Sleepless in Seattle. Ryan isn’t just the perfect starring actress, though: She also delivers on comedy with the greats. Just watch the classic (and shocking!) deli scene in When Harry Met Sally for a laugh that withstands the test of time.

13. Allison Janney (November 19)

Allison Janney is remarkably adept at transitioning between genres. She has played wildly inappropriate but hilarious characters in films like Ten Things I Hate About You to and I, Tonya. She is an award-winning actress and has appeared on stage and screen throughout her career.

If you’re old enough to remember The Accused, you’re old enough to know it contains one of the most violent movie scenes ever filmed — but Foster played the role so remarkably that she won an Oscar. She has since become synonymous with playing courageous women, fitting for a Scorpio. She’s appeared in plenty of other remarkable roles, including Agent Starling in Silence of the Lambs.

16. Goldie Hawn (November 21)

Goldie Hawn brings comedy, joy, and beauty to every role. She is an actress and singer known for films like Overboard and First Wives Club, and she’s the mom of actors Kate Hudson, Oliver Hudson, and Wyatt Russell. Family ties are important to Hawn —  which is very Scorpio-like of her — and she’s been in a long-lasting relationship with her husband, Kurt Russell, since 1983. He starred in the recent Christmas Chronicles series, where she also made an appearance.
