Lihua: zodiac sign and birth chart
Lihua has no canon birthday. The novels, manga and anime never give one. Read from her personality, she's a Scorpio, with Moon and rising in Scorpio too: the proud high consort who is worn down almost to the breaking point and then walks back into the hall so that everyone falls silent. A Capricorn Mars is the spine.

NEBO's take
No birthday in canon. Her personality says Scorpio.
We ran Lihua through the same model that matches people to characters in the app, and looked at which chart gets her most often. It reads her as water first: proud, intense and slow to trust.

Scorpio doesn't show weakness. Even at her lowest she is still the proud beauty of the Rear Palace.
- Moon
CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeScorpio
A Scorpio Moon feels everything and says nothing. Grief and poison wear her down while her ladies, without realizing it, keep harming her.
- Rising

No birth time in canon. First impression: a proud beauty who keeps her distance until you have earned it.
- Mercury
CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeSagittarius
Sagittarius Mercury says it plainly once it's decided. She takes Maomao's help instead of hiding behind pride.
- Venus

Libra is beauty and grace. As she recovers she gradually regains her looks and the emperor's favor.
- Mars
CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeCapricorn
Capricorn Mars is endurance. Her pride stops being a wall and becomes a spine.
What canon does give: a proud woman who is brought low and rises again. A Scorpio answer is to rebuild in private and return stronger.
