Which of these Panchayat series character are you according to your zodiac sign?
Aries — MLA Chandrakishore Singh
Impulsive and short-tempered, MLA Singh, played by Pankaj Jha, displays a dark shade to his character throughout the series. He is bold, ambitious and quite childlike with his pets, contrasting his otherwise overpowering personality. Known as the babies of the zodiac, Aries are born leaders, driven by their passion to rule, earn a massive fortune and have highly flammable tempers. This MLA’s, or Vidhayak ji, personality traits in the Panchayat series fits the bill perfectly.
Taurus — Pradhan Pati
One of the key characters of this series, Brij Bhushan Dubey, who is Pradhan ji’s husband displays all the good qualities of being an earth sign denoted by the celestial bull. Close to their families and comfort zones, they have their hearts and minds in the right place. Ruled by the planet of love and money, Venus, they are indulgent and love to live a good life. Dubey loves to enjoy a good meal with friends, is an affectionate husband, a doting dad and a fair leader.
Gemini — Vikas
Chandan Roy’s Vikas is easygoing, innocent, fun-loving and enthusiastic being full of life. His ability to take things lightly and smile through challenges is representative of the core qualities of this playful air sign. They are also known as the social butterflies of the zodiac wheel, and Vikas’s friendly nature fits this description perfectly.
Cancer — Prahlad Chacha
Faisal Malik as Prahlad Chacha hides a soft and emotional side behind a tough exterior. This is exactly what a crustacean water sign is made of. Ruled by the Moon, Cancers are very protective towards their loved ones. This quality is highlighted when Prahlad goes to extreme extends to stop Sachiv ji’s transfer or when he explains to Jagmohan the importance of having a family. His generosity, warmth and empathy make him a quintessential Cancer. He is undoubtedly one of the most emotional Panchayat characters.
Leo — Pradhan ji (Manju Devi)
Known to win hearts by being her naturally charming self, Pradhan ji loves to take people under her fold and protect them when necessary.

Virgo — Abhishek Tripathi
Virgo is a mutable earth sign which loves to follow the set path and not rebel to achieve its goals. Qualities like detail-orientedness, hard work and perfection are associated with them. Adaptable to most situations, they tend to internalise communication. Abhishek Tripathi, Sachiv ji of the Gram Panchayat of Phulera village, is an introvert who likes to work at his own pace. He also does not act impulsively and tends to overthink, which is typical of a Virgo.
But once he trusts and accepts people around him, he does not shy away from going the mile for them. This earth sign is known to make people in their lives stable with their consistent efforts.
Libra — Rinki
Charming, good-looking, intelligent and sociable, Rinki, played by Sanvikaa, likes to be liked. This Venusian sign is a well-balanced zodiac that is good-natured, non-confrontational and loves to make friends. Rinki brings a breath of fresh air with her attractive persona to Phulera and into Sachiv’s life.
Scorpio — Bhushan Sharma
One of the most dangerous signs on the zodiac wheel, Scorpio tend to hold on to grudges and seldom miss a chance to avenge their opponents. Bhushan, played by Durgesh Kumar, displays a dark disposition, which matches the scorpion’s qualities. He is one of the villainous Panchayat characters. Be it his relentless efforts to upstage Pradhan ji and take her position or scheming for the downfall of her aide: Sachiv ji, this fixed water sign is capable of doing the worst to people.
Sagittarius — Damyanti (Amma ji)
In the Panchayat series, Damyanti, brilliantly essayed by Abha Sharma, is the most entertaining, ambitious and straightforward person in the village. Like this mutable fire sign which does not take a no for an answer, Amma ji keeps up her schemes to illegally acquire a house through a government scheme and is relentless in her pursuit.
Sagittarians get easily tired or bored of being stuck in the same life situation and can break all rules to get what they want, to grow in their life. This character displays a similar zest and enthusiasm.
Capricorn — District Magistrate
Direct, to the point and a strict disciplinarian, the district magistrate essayed by Kusum Shastri leads with a firm fist in the Panchayat series. She is a no-nonsense professional who does not tolerate tardiness or defiance of rules and regulations in any way. Capricorns are ruled by the planet of karma and discipline, Saturn, which contributes to their serious disposition — a description perfect for the DM.
Aquarius — Parmeshwar
Aquarians are highly intelligent but slightly distant air signs who like to devise out-of-ordinary schemes to solve their problems. Parmeshwar, played by Shrikant Verma, is unconventional towards his approach to life, making him a true Aquarian.
Pisces — Jagmohan
Jagmohan (Vishal Yadav) is Amma ji’s grandson who falls prey to her scheme of illegally acquiring a house. Conflicted with having trouble looking at the real picture, he displays traits of a Piscean denoted by fishes swimming in opposite directions. He fails to get a grip on reality until Prahlad Chacha explains that his pursuit is mindless and that he should focus on tending to his family.
