Russ: zodiac sign and birth chart
Russ has no canon birthday. Friends never gives him a date. Read from his personality, he's a Virgo: Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus and Mars all in the same sign. The periodontist who looks and sounds like Ross, just slower and flatter. A Capricorn rising keeps him serious.

NEBO's take
No birthday in canon. His personality says Virgo.
We ran Russ 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 earth first: careful, even-toned and about as exciting as a manual.

Virgo is exact. Russ is a periodontist, a profession built on detail.

A Virgo Moon stays in routine. He stays even-tempered, always.

No birth time in canon. First impression: neat, serious and a little too familiar.
- Mercury

Virgo Mercury speaks evenly. Even a great story sounds like an instruction manual.
- Venus

Virgo Venus is quiet and practical. He doesn't try to charm Rachel.
- Mars

Virgo Mars works slowly and carefully, never in a rush.
What canon does give: a very careful man who is a quieter copy of Ross. A Virgo answer is precision without a spark.
