Melisandre: zodiac sign and birth chart

Melisandre has no canon birthday: neither the show nor the books give one. Read from her personality, she's a Pisces. Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus and Mars all sit in the same sign: a priestess who follows what she sees in the flames with total faith. Add a Cancer rising that comes across as calm, serene and very hard to rattle.

NEBO's take

No birthday in canon. Her personality says Pisces.

We ran Melisandre through the same model that matches people to characters in the app, and looked at which chart gets her most often. It reads her as water first: devoted, intuitive and certain of what she sees.

Pisces gives people what they want to hear most. She tells Gendry who his father was.
Mars CanonNot in canonNEBO's takePisces
Pisces Mars acts on faith, not anger. For the Lord of Light she buys Gendry from the Brotherhood.

What canon does give: a red priestess who believes the Lord of Light speaks through fire. A Pisces lives on that kind of faith.
