Paul Stevens: zodiac sign and birth chart

We ran Paul 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: protective, guarded and a lot softer than he looks.

Cancer protects what it loves. Paul is Elizabeth's father, and he makes it clear to Ross that he doesn't approve.

A Capricorn Moon keeps feelings under control, until they don't stay there.

No birth time in canon. First impression: a stern stare that makes a boyfriend apologize for existing.

CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeCancer
Cancer Mars guards its own. A look is enough to make a potential son-in-law back off.
What canon does give: a scary dad who becomes a crier once he gets close to Rachel. A Cancer answer is a hard shell around a very soft center.
