Scarecrow (Jonathan Crane): zodiac sign and birth chart

Scarecrow has no fixed birthday: the comics never settle on one date. Read from his personality, Jonathan Crane is a Cancer. Sun, Moon, Mercury and Mars all sit in the sign of the shell: the bullied kid who hid behind a mask and a theory. That is why his fascination with fear never lets go.

NEBO's take

No birthday in canon. His personality says Cancer.

We ran Scarecrow 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 water through and through: wounded, secretive and obsessed.

NEBO's take

Cancer SunRead from his personality
  • Sun CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeCancer

    Cancer hides a soft center behind a hard shell. Crane's shell is a mask, and the soft part is a kid who was terrified.

  • Moon CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeCancer

    A Cancer Moon never forgets an old hurt. Crane turns his childhood fear into a research field.

  • Rising CanonNo birth timeNEBO's takeLibra

    No birth time in canon. First impression: a thin, polite academic with gentle manners. Libra rising makes the cruelty arrive as a surprise.

  • Mercury CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeCancer

    Cancer Mercury talks softly and thinks in feelings. His speeches about fear sound like a lecture, not a threat.

  • Venus CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeNo clear pick

  • Mars CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeCancer

    Cancer Mars attacks from cover. Crane never charges in, he lets the toxin do the work.

What canon does give: a psychologist who spent his life studying fear because it was done to him. Cancer is the sign that turns old wounds into armor, and his armor is a burlap mask.
