Edward Elric: zodiac sign and birth chart
Edward Elric has no canon birthday. Neither the manga nor Brotherhood gives one. Read from his personality, he's a Libra: the kid who weighs every price, then refuses to pay with other people's lives. An Aries Moon is why he blows up the second anyone calls him short, and a Sagittarius Mars is why he charges in first.

NEBO's take
No birthday in canon. His personality says Libra.
We ran Ed 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: a kid who keeps asking what's fair, with a fire Moon that answers before the question is over.

Libra weighs the price. Ed learns what the Philosopher's Stone is made of and turns the shortcut down, even though it could give Al his body back.

Aries reacts first. Call him short and he is on the ceiling before you finish the sentence. Milk jokes make it worse.
- Rising

No birth time in canon. First impression: a small kid in a red coat next to a towering suit of armor, and half the town shakes the armor's hand first.

CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeSagittarius
Sagittarius charges straight at the problem. He claps his hands and runs at Scar, and loses his automail arm doing it.
What canon does give: a world built on equivalent exchange, and a boy who spends the whole story arguing with it. Libra is the sign of scales and fair trades, so the fit is close.
How he shows up
Why he's like this
Libra is the sign of fairness, balance and refusing a deal that someone else pays for. Ed hits it, plus a very short fuse, in scenes fans know by heart.
CoreLibra Sun
Won't pay with other people's lives
The brothers learn what the Philosopher's Stone is made of. Ed turns away from the shortcut that could give Al his body back.
Brotherhood, early story
FeelingsAries Moon
Short is the forbidden word
Anyone who calls Ed small gets the full meltdown. He also hates milk, which only feeds the jokes.
Throughout the manga and Brotherhood
In a fightMars in Sagittarius
Claps and charges
Against Scar he claps his hands and rushes in with no plan beyond a transmuted fist. Scar destroys his automail arm for it.

First impressionAquarius rising
The odd pair
A boy in a red coat walks in beside a towering suit of armor, and people keep assuming the armor is the famous alchemist. It's a running gag.
Throughout the manga and Brotherhood
