Katniss Everdeen: zodiac sign and birth chart
Katniss Everdeen is a Taurus, born on May 8. The books never give the year, so her Moon and the rest of her chart come from NEBO's take. Taurus fits the girl who counts the days to her twelfth birthday so she can sign up for extra grain, then steps up for her sister without a second thought.

SourceBirthday: The Hunger Games, chapter 2, where she holds out until May 8 to turn twelve and sign up for tesserae (she does it on that date, chapter 4). The books never give a birth year, so only the Sun is canon. The other planets are NEBO's take.

NEBO's take
Canon says Taurus. Her personality says Capricorn.
We ran Katniss 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 earth first: the girl who hunts before dawn and keeps a household fed at sixteen.

CanonTaurusNEBO's takeCapricorn
Canon gives her the Taurus stubbornness. Capricorn is the duty: on reaping morning she is already out in the woods with Gale, hunting before the ceremony.
- Moon
CanonNo birth yearNEBO's takeCapricorn
Canon gives no year, so the Moon is our take. Capricorn Moon keeps feelings locked up: on the train she wonders whether Peeta's tears are a strategy.
- Rising
CanonNo birth timeNEBO's takeTaurus
No birth time in canon. First impression at the dinner on the train: Effie praises their manners, and Katniss eats with her fingers and wipes them on the tablecloth. Taurus rising does not budge.
- Mercury
CanonNo birth yearNEBO's takeCapricorn
Capricorn Mercury answers with a list. When Gale says they could run into the woods and live there, she says no: they have families to feed.
- Venus
CanonNo birth yearNEBO's takeCapricorn
Capricorn Venus loves with duty, not words. When Prim makes her promise to try to win, Katniss promises.
- Mars
CanonNo birth yearNEBO's takeLeo
Leo fights out loud. At the reaping she shouts that she volunteers across a silent square, and the whole district answers with the three-finger salute.
Where we agree: Taurus and Capricorn are both earth. Canon's Taurus digs in and feeds her people, our Capricorn carries the whole household and never mentions it.
How she shows up
Why she's like this
Taurus is the sign of patience, appetite and holding your ground. Katniss has all of it, and NEBO's Capricorn and Leo fill in the rest of her chart.
CoreTaurus Sun
Counts the days
After her father dies and her mother goes blank, Katniss scavenges to keep Prim and her mother alive. She tells herself she only has to hold out until May 8, her twelfth birthday, when she can sign up for tesserae.
The Hunger Games
CoreTaurus Sun
Doesn't budge for her people
Prim's name comes out of the bowl at the reaping. Katniss pushes through the crowd and volunteers in her place, with no plan except not letting her sister go.

FeelingsCapricorn Moon
Plans the household, even at goodbye
In the Justice Building she tells Prim and her mother how to live without her: no tesserae, sell the goat's milk and her mother's remedies, and Gale will bring herbs. She warns her mother not to fall apart again.

Shoots when she's ignored
In her private session the Gamemakers are busy with a roast pig and ignore her. She sends an arrow through the apple in its mouth, says "Thank you for your consideration" and walks out.
