Tien Shinhan: zodiac sign and birth chart

Tien has no canon birthday. The guidebooks give a year on the series' own calendar and no day. Read from his personality he's a Taurus, five planets deep: disciplined, direct and steady as a rock. The one Gemini in the chart, Mars, is where the Multi-Form technique comes from.

NEBO's take

No birthday in canon. His personality says Taurus.

We ran Tien 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 earth first: Taurus Sun, Moon, rising, Mercury and Venus, with Gemini Mars.

NEBO's take

Taurus SunRead from his personality
  • Sun CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeTaurus

    Taurus is discipline and staying power. Tien trains until he wins the 22nd World Martial Arts Tournament.

  • Moon CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeTaurus

    Taurus Moon doesn't quit. Against Cell he fires the Tri-Beam again and again to buy his friends time, and nearly dies.

  • Rising CanonNo birth timeNEBO's takeTaurus

    No birth time in canon. First impression: a cold, three-eyed fighter from the Crane School, with Chiaotzu at his side.

  • Mercury CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeTaurus

    Taurus Mercury talks little and means it. Tien says what he thinks, once, and then acts.

  • Venus CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeTaurus

    Taurus Venus is loyal for life. Chiaotzu sacrifices himself for Tien, and Tien never forgets it.

  • Mars CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeGemini

    Gemini Mars splits the fighter in four. The Multi-Form technique is all quickness and doubles.

What canon does give: a fighter who changes sides, trains harder than anyone and will not leave his best friend behind. Taurus is the stubbornness that carries all of it.
