Dobby: zodiac sign and birth chart
Dobby is a Cancer, born on June 28. The year is never given, so his Moon and the rest of his chart come from NEBO's take. Cancer is canon, and it is the sign of home, loyalty and looking after your people. Dobby does all three, and he does them at his own expense.

NEBO's take
Canon says Cancer. His personality agrees: Cancer.
We ran Dobby 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 Cancer, the same as canon, with a Pisces Moon, the softest sign of all: every feeling on the outside and no walls.

CanonCancerNEBO's takeCancer
Canon and our model both say Cancer, the protective one: he risks everything to keep Harry out of danger.
- Moon
CanonNo birth yearNEBO's takePisces
Canon gives no Moon, because the year is never given. Pisces is our pick: he punishes himself the second he feels he has disobeyed.
- Rising
CanonNo birth timeNEBO's takeCancer
No birth time in canon. First impression: a creature in an old pillowcase, with eyes like tennis balls, whispering on the end of Harry's bed.
- Mercury
CanonNo birth yearNEBO's takeCancer
No canon Mercury. Cancer says what it feels: Dobby tells Harry exactly how he feels, in the third person, and cries when Harry is kind to him.
- Venus
CanonNo birth yearNEBO's takeCancer
No canon Venus. Cancer loves through care: from the first night, Dobby is looking after Harry.
- Mars
CanonNo birth yearNEBO's takeTaurus
No canon Mars. Taurus digs in: Dumbledore offers ten Galleons a week and weekends off, and Dobby talks him down to one Galleon and a day off a month.
Where we agree: the Sun is Cancer on both sides, and both charts give their whole heart away. Cancer guards a person, the Pisces Moon would do anything for them.
How he shows up

Cancer is the sign of protecting what you love, whatever it costs. Dobby does it with a pillowcase for clothes and a lot of self-punishment.
