Samwell Tarly: zodiac sign and birth chart

Samwell Tarly has no canon birthday: neither the show nor the books give one. Read from his personality, he's a Virgo. Sun and Mercury sit in the same sign: the recruit who is more useful with a list and a plan than with a sword. Add a Pisces Moon that can't leave anyone behind, a Gemini rising that tells the truth about himself straight away, and a Libra Venus and Mars that want everyone safe.

NEBO's take

No birthday in canon. His personality says Virgo.

We ran Sam 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, practical and better at helping than at fighting.

NEBO's take

Virgo SunRead from his personality
  • Sun CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeVirgo

    Virgo serves. He takes his vows beside Jon, and goes to the stewards, not the rangers.

  • Moon CanonNot in canonNEBO's takePisces

    A Pisces Moon feels everything. Sam tells Jon that his father forced him to join and thought him unworthy.

  • Rising CanonNo birth timeNEBO's takeGemini

    First impression: a heavy, nervous recruit who is Thorne's easy target, and who answers Jon's first question with the whole truth.

  • Mercury CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeVirgo

    Virgo Mercury explains. On the road to the Wall he tells Gilly what Castle Black is like and shows her the dragonglass dagger he found.

  • Venus CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeLibra

    Libra looks after the one it loves. Afraid for Gilly among the men at Castle Black, he sends her to Mole's Town.

  • Mars CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeLibra

    Libra Mars isn't a fighter. Craster's Keep falls apart, and Sam does the one thing he can: he grabs Gilly and her baby and runs.

What canon does give: a boy sent to the Wall because his father couldn't stand him. A Virgo answers by being so useful nobody can send him away.
