Near: zodiac sign and birth chart

Near is a Virgo, born August 24, 1991. Of course: the sign of detail, patience and quiet work, raised at the Wammy's House orphanage for gifted kids. White hair, white pajamas, and a floor covered in puzzles and toys that he somehow uses to think. Mercury and Venus in Leo add a bit of pride under the calm.

NEBO's take

Canon and our model agree: Virgo.

We ran Near through the same model that matches people to characters in the app, and looked at which chart gets him most often. It agrees with canon on the Sun and then doubles down on Virgo: a precise mind in a very quiet body.

NEBO's take

Virgo SunRead from his personality
  • Sun CanonVirgoNEBO's takeVirgo

    Virgo in both charts: patient, exact, and happiest when the details finally line up.

  • Moon CanonAquariusNEBO's takeVirgo

    Canon's Aquarius stays detached, cool, and a bit alien. Our Virgo is more orderly: it turns a feeling into a pile of dice and a plan.

  • Rising CanonNo birth timeNEBO's takeTaurus

    No birth time in canon. First impression: a pale kid on the floor in pajamas, twirling his hair, who barely looks up.

  • Mercury CanonLeoNEBO's takeVirgo

    Canon's Leo speaks with calm authority. Our Virgo checks every fact before speaking.

  • Venus CanonLeoNEBO's takeLeo

    Leo in both charts. He is proud of being first, and does not need to say so.

  • Mars CanonVirgoNEBO's takeTaurus

    Canon's Virgo works through the case with precision, never in a rush. Our Taurus adds the stubbornness that never lets go.

Where we agree: Sun in Virgo, and Venus in Leo. Both charts have a perfectionist who also wants to be the best, even if he never raises his voice about it.
