L: zodiac sign and birth chart
L is a Scorpio, born October 31, 1979. Of course he is: the sign of intensity, suspicion and total focus, belonging to the detective nobody has ever seen. Moon in Pisces, Mercury in Sagittarius, and a sweet tooth that needs no sign at all.

Birth chart
L's chart at a glance
Drawn from his canon birthday. No birth time in canon, so no rising sign.
- Fire2
- Earth0
- Air0
- Water3
- Mostly water. 3 of his 5 placements are water signs.
- Born on a Wednesday. “Wednesday's child is full of woe,” says the old rhyme.
- About 1 in 18 birthdays get L in the app's Death Note world.
- Other Scorpios here: Ryuk, Rem and Hirokazu Ukita.
NEBO's take
Canon says Scorpio. Our model says Cancer.
We ran L 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 first: sensitive and private, with the sharpest mind in the room hiding behind it.

CanonScorpioNEBO's takeCancer
Canon's Scorpio digs until he finds the truth. Our Cancer is the same detective guarding himself: face hidden, name hidden, only a letter on a screen.
- Moon
CanonPiscesNEBO's takeCancer
Canon's Pisces lives in a strange private world, crouched on a chair with bare feet. Our Cancer is the same shell, just harder.
- Rising
CanonNo birth timeNEBO's takeAquarius
No birth time in canon. First impression: a pale, slouching man in a baggy shirt, and then you realize he's the one running the case.
- Mercury
CanonSagittariusNEBO's takeScorpio
Canon's Sagittarius says what he thinks, even when it's rude: he names Light as a suspect to his face. Our Scorpio does it more quietly.
- Venus
CanonScorpioNEBO's takeScorpio
Scorpio in both charts. Candy are his love language: cake on the desk, sugar in the tea, and a slice offered as trust.
- Mars
CanonLeoNEBO's takePisces
Canon's Leo plays to win in the open, like the tennis match with Light. Our Pisces is more of a slow, sideways fighter.
Where we agree: Venus in Scorpio. Both charts love the same way, rarely and intensely, and show it with something small like a slice of cake.
How he shows up
Why he's like this
Scorpio is the sign of focus, suspicion and a mind that doesn't let go. L hits every one, in scenes fans know by heart.
CoreScorpio Sun
Sets the trap, then watches
L puts a stand-in on live TV and calls him "L". When the stand-in drops dead, L knows Kira is in the Kanto region and kills by face and name. Then he shows his own Gothic L on screen.
Anime episode 2, "Confrontation"
CoreScorpio Sun
Gets close to the suspect
Under the name Hideki Ryuga, he enrolls at Light's university and tells him to his face that he's L. Later he chains the two of them together with one pair of handcuffs.
Kira vs L arc
MindMercury in Sagittarius
Says it straight, rude or not
L tells the task force he suspects Light, and puts a percentage on how likely it is. He keeps saying it in front of Light.

LoveVenus in Scorpio
Candy are his weak spot
Cake on the desk, sugar cubes in the tea, and a plate in front of him at every serious meeting. Watari keeps it coming.
Throughout the series
FeelingsPisces Moon
Thinks in his own weird way
He sits crouched on the chair, barefoot, holding a cup or a phone with two fingers, because that's how he thinks best.
Throughout the series
In a fightMars in Leo
Plays to win, in the open
A tennis match with Light looks like a friendly game, and it's a contest neither of them intends to lose.
