Barry Farber: zodiac sign and birth chart
Barry Farber has no canon birthday in Friends. Read from his personality, he's a Scorpio: the orthodontist Rachel leaves at the altar, who dates her friend Mindy and then secretly sees Rachel too. A Pisces Moon makes him sentimental, and a Taurus rising makes him stubborn about it.

NEBO's take
No birthday in canon. His personality says Scorpio.
We ran Barry 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: intense, secretive and not great at letting go.

Scorpio is secretive. Barry dates Rachel's friend Mindy and quietly sees Rachel at the same time.

A Pisces Moon drifts toward whoever is near. He stays in the orbit of the person who left him.

Taurus Mars doesn't give up easily.
What canon does give: a man whose life goes sideways in the first episode and who moves on anyway. A Scorpio answer is to keep it all very quiet and keep going.
