NEBO's take
No birthday in canon. His personality says Capricorn.
We ran Cato 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 discipline with a short fuse: years of preparation, then a temper that goes off the second something is taken from him.

Sagittarius Venus likes it loud and open. In the film he and Glimmer flirt in the middle of the Games, with no shame about it.
- Mars

Aries Mars hits first and hard. When Peeta blocks his way, Cato opens up Peeta's leg with a sword.
What canon does give: the training. Cato is the Career who has prepared for these Games for years, and Capricorn is the sign that prepares.
