Light Yagami: zodiac sign and birth chart
Light Yagami is a Pisces, born February 28, 1986. Not the sign you'd pick for a guy running a perfect double life, but Pisces is the sign of ideals and the story you tell yourself. Sun, Mercury and Venus all sit there: the top student who decides the world needs cleaning, and smiles at everyone while he does it.

Birth chart
Light's chart at a glance
Drawn from his canon birthday. No birth time in canon, so no rising sign.
NEBO's take
Canon says Pisces. Our model says Gemini.
We ran Light 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 air first: quick, charming and one move ahead in every conversation.

CanonPiscesNEBO's takeGemini
Canon's Pisces is the idealist who believes his own story: a god of a new world. Our Gemini is the part that talks him out of every corner.
- Moon
CanonLibraNEBO's takeLibra
Libra in both charts. The perfect son and top student, polite even to the man who accuses him.
- Rising
CanonNo birth timeNEBO's takeLibra
No birth time in canon. First impression: the best student in Japan, calm, helpful and a little bored.
- Mercury
CanonPiscesNEBO's takeVirgo
Canon's Pisces thinks in hidden plans, like a scrap of notebook tucked into a chip bag. Our Virgo is the planner who checks every detail twice.
- Venus
CanonPiscesNEBO's takeLibra
Pisces loves an idea more than a person. Our Libra makes him charming to everyone, which is exactly why nobody sees him coming.
- Mars
CanonSagittariusNEBO's takeLibra
Canon's Sagittarius aims high and never looks back: he kills a man on live TV the moment he is provoked. Our Libra weighs the move first.
Where we agree: the Moon. Canon and the model both put it in Libra, the polite, balanced face he shows his family, his classmates and the detective who suspects him.
