Gendo Ikari: zodiac sign and birth chart

Gendo Ikari is a Taurus, born on April 29, 1967. It fits the commander who sits behind folded hands, almost never raises his voice, and doesn't change a plan once it's set. A Capricorn Moon adds the cold, patient control on top.

NEBO's take

Canon says Taurus. Our model says Capricorn.

We ran Gendo 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 Capricorn first, with Sun, Moon and Mercury in the same sign: cold, patient and built for long plans.

NEBO's take

Capricorn SunRead from his personality
  • Sun CanonTaurusNEBO's takeCapricorn

    Canon's Taurus doesn't move once it has decided. Our Capricorn plans for decades. Either way he is the immovable object in every room.

  • Moon CanonCapricornNEBO's takeCapricorn

    Capricorn Moon in both charts: no feelings on the surface. He sits at the command table with his hands folded in front of his face.

  • Rising CanonNo birth timeNEBO's takeAries

    No birth time in canon. First impression: tinted glasses, a stiff posture and a stare that makes the room go quiet.

  • Mercury CanonAriesNEBO's takeCapricorn

    Canon's Aries Mercury is short and direct. In episode 1 he tells his son to pilot or go home. Our Capricorn says the same thing with even less warmth.

  • Venus CanonGeminiNEBO's takeVirgo

    Canon's Gemini Venus can be charming when it serves him. Our Virgo shows care only through being useful, and he rarely shows care at all.

  • Mars CanonLibraNEBO's takeAquarius

    Canon's Libra Mars wins by arrangement, never in the front row. In episode 18 a machine does the fighting for him.

Where we agree: the Moon. Both charts have it in Capricorn, so the folded hands and the frozen face are as certain as anything about him.

How he shows up

Why he's like this

Taurus is the sign of stubbornness, patience and control. Gendo hits all three, in scenes fans know by heart.

  • MindMercury in Aries

    Pilot or go home

    Shinji hasn't seen his father in years. Gendo skips the greeting, points to the injured girl and the Eva, and tells him to pilot or go home.

    Episode 1

  • FeelingsCapricorn Moon

    The folded hands

    In the command center he sits with his hands folded in front of his face, tinted glasses on, and gives orders without raising his voice.

  • In a fightMars in Libra

    Lets a machine fight for him

    Unit-03 is taken over by an Angel with Toji inside. Gendo orders the Dummy System, which takes control of Unit-01 and destroys it while Shinji begs them to stop.

    Episode 18

  • CoreTaurus Sun

    One goal, held for decades

    Everything he does, from the orders to his son to the secrets inside NERV, bends toward one thing: getting his dead wife back.
