Admiral Zhao: zodiac sign and birth chart

Admiral Zhao has no canon birthday. The series never gives one. Read from his personality, he's an Aries: the commander who wants to go down in history and says so loudly. Sun, Moon, rising, Mercury and Mars all charge in without a plan B, and they want an audience.

Mostly fire. 5 of his 5 placements are fire signs.
Double Aries. Sun and Moon in the same sign, about 1 in 12 people have that.
About 1 in 22 birthdays get Zhao in the app's Avatar: The Last Airbender world.
Other Ariess here: Suki, Fire Lord Ozai and Avatar Kyoshi.

NEBO's take

No birthday in canon. His personality says Aries.

We ran Zhao through the same model that matches people to characters in the app, and looked at which chart gets him most often. It reads him as pure fire: big talk, big ambition and not much patience.

NEBO's take

Aries SunRead from his personality

Sun CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeAries
Aries wants to be first. Zhao hunts the Avatar to be remembered, not to serve.
Moon CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeAries
An Aries Moon hates losing. When the Blue Spirit takes Aang out of his custody, the man who wanted the credit is left empty-handed.
Rising CanonNo birth timeNEBO's takeAries
No birth time in canon. First impression: a uniform, a smirk and a loud opinion about himself.
Mercury CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeAries
Aries Mercury says it first and loud. He boasts that he will make history.
Venus CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeNo clear pick
Mars CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeAries
Aries Mars fights with raw power. Zhao throws heavy blasts of fire from his fists and feet.

What canon does give: a commander who wants the Avatar for the glory. An Aries answer is to charge at the biggest prize and believe he can win it.
