Van Hohenheim: zodiac sign and birth chart
Van Hohenheim has no canon birthday. Neither the manga nor Brotherhood gives one. Read from his personality, he's a Pisces: Sun and Moon both in the water sign that carries everything quietly. Ed and Al's father walked out on his family when they were small, and the chart explains why he thinks he had to.

NEBO's take
No birthday in canon. His personality says Pisces.
We ran Hohenheim 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 water first: soft, sad and thinking about other people more than himself.
Canon

CanonNot in canonNEBO's takePisces
Pisces carries a lot and says little. Hohenheim leaves his family because he doesn't want them to suffer for his sake.
- Moon
CanonNot in canonNEBO's takePisces
Pisces Moon feels for everyone, and carries more than one life's worth of grief.
- Rising
CanonNo birth timeNEBO's takeGemini
No birth time in canon. First impression: a calm, tired-looking man who would rather listen than talk.
- Mercury
CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeAquarius
Aquarius Mercury plans far ahead, long before anyone else. He prepares a counter-circle against Father's plan.
- Venus CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeNo clear pick
- Mars
CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeTaurus
Taurus Mars is patience as power. He has been waiting for his moment for centuries.
What canon does give: a father who left, a man who can't be forgiven easily and a lot of silence. Pisces answers with a heart that feels too much and says too little.
