Character Analysis: The Astrology of Frosty the Snowman

There are many fun holiday characters, and in this article, we'll explore one of them - Frosty the Snowman! The snowman who comes to life with eyes of coal and always screams, "Happy birthday!" (that kind of sounds like a horror movie instead of a kiddie Christmas movie).

I'll go into what I think Frosty the Snowman's natal chart would look like. In these character analysis posts, I review what fictional characters might have in their natal charts, and this can help you with learning astrology, Let's dig in!

Frosty's Sun, Mercury, and Venus

I'd say Frosty is a Sagittarius Sun, Mercury, and Venus, ever the optimist, always happy and friendly and fun. Sagittarius is the happy, optimistic Zodiac sign, and Frosty is pretty positive! Plus, he was born in December, the time of Sagittarius.

I like the 3 as a stellium because it would increase his optimism, make him have an easier time getting along with others, and with relating and expressing himself. Stelliums are when you have 3 or more planets together in one sign, and they are highly concentrated energy that greatly increases the sign (and house) location.

I’d also pick some hard aspects to his Mercury by the outer planets to make his memory worse. Mercury rules the mind, so hard aspects by the outer planets (Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto) would help explain that.

Frosty's Moon: Gemini

Frosty has Moon in Gemini for sure! Frosty has a terrible memory, which is very Gemini (as a scattered air and mutable sign). He's sociable, engaging, and active.

Frosty is also good with young people, and Gemini is the sign ruling young people. 

Frosty's Mars: Leo

I like Leo for Frosty’s Mars as he’s always up for fun, always wanting to have a good time, always saying, “Happy birthday!” Leo is the sign that rules fun and having a good time, and Mars is the planet of energy and drive, so he'd be driven to have lots of fun.

It would make his Mars trine his Sun, Mercury, and Venus, and sextile his Moon, which are easy, beneficial aspects.

Frosty's Rising Sign

A little torn here between Leo or Aquarius.

Leo rising would put his Mars in the 1st house of the self, increasing his optimism, but I’m not sure he has quite the energy required for a Mars 1st house (which can be super high).

His Sun-Mercury-Venus would be in the 5th house of fun and kids, and his Moon would be in the 11th house of friends, and those do make sense.

​Aquarius rising would put his Mars in his 7th house, ruler of relationships and other people, and Frosty is dedicated to the kids. His Sun-Mercury-Venus would be in the 11th house of friendships, and his Moon would be in the 9th house, very optimistic and bright-side (naturally connects to Sagittarius). So I’m inclined to go with Aquarius Rising.

Final Note: Pluto

Frosty is reborn over and over again, which is very Pluto, so I’d say he has a prominent Pluto in his chart, perhaps on a house cusp, or conjunct a personal planet (Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, or Mars).

Pluto is the planet of transformation and rules rebirth, and when it's strong in the natal chart, that often shows experiencing one or many transformations/rebirths (as he does).

So that's Frosty!
