The ‘RHOP’ Cast Zodiac Signs Make So Much Sense
The ladies of Potomac are back on Bravo, and they are bringing the drama.
Season 11 of The Real Housewives of Potomac premieres October 11, and viewers can expect growth, change and unexpected turns as the Housewives navigate shiting loyalties and renewed tension. The Grande Dame Karen Huger is back after her stint behind bars following a DUI conviction, Wendy Osefo is trying to remain hopeful as her and husband’s trial date approaches, and new cast member Courtney Ajinça strives to find her place in the group.
Each woman approaches her situation in her own way. Looking at each RHOP cast member’s Zodiac signs offers insight into how they navigate choppy waters and cast conflict.
Gizelle Bryant
With a birthday of September 9, Gizelle Bryant is Virgo through and through. Analytical, detail-oriented, calculating, and direct, Gizelle is the quintessential example of her star sign. She puts her sharp observational skills and an eye for detail to work as she stirs the pot – though she’s said she’s just trying to clear the air and resolve issues. Her wit, ability to remain composed under pressure, and high standards are hallmarks of her Earth sign.
Karen Huger
Karen Huger, born May 3, is a Taurus. With her combination of style, confidence, and occasional stubbornness, she embodies the Bull’s qualities, both good and bad. Karen’s focus on her reputation, her taste for luxury, and her refusal to stand down during arguments are classic examples of Taurus tenacity. So was her reluctance to admit she had a drinking problem, until her DUI landed her in jail.
Ashley Darby
Ashely Darby, who was born June 8, is a Gemini. People with this sign are social butterflies. They tend to be adaptable, communicative, and just a little bit unpredictable. Air signs like Gemini thrive on information, and Ashley functions as RHOP’s “bone collector.” She stirs the pot, then steps back to watch the reaction. The dual nature of Gemini – the sign is represented by the Twins – also allows her to ask uncomfortable questions with a smile, pivoting between lighthearted fun and deep confrontation.
Wendy Osefo
Like Ashley, Wendy Osefo (born May 21) is a Gemini. She’s a multi-faceted intellectual (she has a PhD) with a quick-witted and expressive nature. Geminis are famous for their ability to juggle multiple roles. For Wendy, that mean claiming the titles of professor, commentator, author, and entrepreneur. But her dual nature can have a dark side. Geminis are the liars and tricksters of the Zodiac. Wendy is facing time in prison for allegedly engaging in an insurance fraud scheme with her husband, Eddie Osefo. Authorities say they claimed that valuable items were stolen during a break-in that never happened.
Stacey Rusch
Stacey Rusch, who was born April 5, is an Aries. People with this sign are bold, energetic, and direct. Aries, a Cardinal Fire sign, brings enthusiasm, drive, and high energy into any situation. As a former QVC host and broadcast personality, she has classic Aries charisma and confidence. As an Aries, she doesn’t hesitate to step into new environments. And once there, she make an immediate impression, speaking directly without sugarcoating her opinions.
Tia Glover
Tia Glover, who was born February 11, is an Aquarius. Aquarians are independent and unconventional humanitarians. People with this Fixed Air sign are ruled by Uranus, making them progressive thinkers who aren’t afraid to go their own way. Tia brings a fresh, cool-headed perspective to RHOP. But in charting her own course, she sometimes feels likes she’s on the edge of the group’s dynamics.
Courtney Ajinça
RHOP newcomer Courtney Ajinça was born November 12, making her a Scorpio. We’ll have to watch and see what how her arrival affects the group dynamic. But people with this Fixed Water sign are generally intense, intuitive, and fiercely loyal. On the flip side, they also be secretive, controlling, and jealous. If someone wrongs them, they may nurse their feelings of hurt, eventually giving in to their Scorpion qualities by lashing out.
The Real Housewives of Potomac premieres Sunday, October 11 at 8 p.m. ET/PT. Episodes stream the next day on Peacock.
