Simon Basset: zodiac sign and birth chart

Simon Basset has no canon birthday. Neither the Netflix series nor the novels give a full date. Read from his personality, he's a Scorpio: Sun, Moon, rising and Mercury in one sign. The Duke of Hastings is London's most eligible bachelor, brooding, guarded and sure he'll never have a family. Libra Venus and Mars are the polish on top.

NEBO's take

No birthday in canon. His personality says Scorpio.

We ran Simon 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 Scorpio four times over, with a Libra finish: intense inside and elegant outside.

NEBO's take

Scorpio SunRead from his personality
  • Sun CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeScorpio

    Scorpio holds a grudge and a secret. Simon decides his family line will end with him, because of what his father did.

  • Moon CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeScorpio

    A Scorpio Moon buries feeling. Behind the cool duke is a boy whose father mocked his stammer, and who never got over it.

  • Rising CanonNo birth timeNEBO's takeScorpio

    No birth time in canon. First impression: a tall, dark, unsmiling duke entering a ballroom, and every ambitious mama forgetting the other candidates.

  • Mercury CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeScorpio

    Scorpio Mercury says little and means it. He doesn't explain himself until he has to.

  • Venus CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeLibra

    Libra Venus is elegance and charm. When he dances with Daphne, the whole ballroom stops to watch.

  • Mars CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeLibra

    Libra Mars is a gentleman's fight. When Anthony challenges him to a duel, Simon shows up, ready to face his friend.

What canon does give: a man who has built a wall against his own past. A Scorpio answer is to hold the grudge and guard the heart, until someone gets through.
