NEBO's take
Canon says Sagittarius. Our model says Aries.
We ran Mello 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 Aries almost all the way across: Sun, Moon, Rising, Mercury and Venus, with Sagittarius Mars. Act first, think while moving.

CanonSagittariusNEBO's takeAries
Canon's Sagittarius is restless, direct and willing to bet everything on one move. Our Aries makes the move before anyone else has decided.
- Moon

Canon's Cancer hides a soft center under the leather: comfort food is a chocolate bar. Our Aries just reacts at once.
- Rising
CanonNo birth timeNEBO's takeAries
No birth time in canon. First impression: leather, a rosary, a scar, and a snap of chocolate.
- Mercury
CanonCapricornNEBO's takeAries
Canon's Capricorn plans for real, with a strict method behind the chaos. Our Aries says it in one line and moves.
- Venus
CanonAquariusNEBO's takeAries
Canon's Aquarius refuses to follow the Wammy's House ranking. Our Aries just wants to win it.
- Mars
CanonScorpioNEBO's takeSagittarius
Canon's Scorpio never lets a rivalry go. Our Sagittarius goes for the big gamble and doesn't look back.
Where we agree: both signs are fire. Both charts want the bold move, the risk, and to be the one who makes it.
