David the scientist: zodiac sign and birth chart
David, the scientist, has no canon birthday. Friends never gives him a date. Read from his personality, he's a Cancer: shy, sweet and bad at saying the romantic thing. A Pisces Moon makes him soft, and a Gemini Mercury is why the words come out about his research.

NEBO's take
No birthday in canon. His personality says Cancer.
We ran David 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: gentle, shy and easily flustered by his own feelings.

Cancer Venus loves gently and holds on. Phoebe remembers him long after he's gone.
- Mars

Aquarius Mars follows the work. When he gets the chance for research in Minsk, he goes.
What canon does give: a sweet scientist who loves Phoebe and leaves for research in Minsk. A Cancer answer is that he cares deeply and can't quite say it.
