Albus Dumbledore: zodiac sign and birth chart

Albus Dumbledore has no canon birthday: the books never give one. So the chart on this page is NEBO's take, read from his personality. It says Sagittarius: the headmaster who opens a feast with "Nitwit! Blubber! Oddment! Tweak!" and means every word of his advice.

NEBO's take

No birthday in canon. His personality says Sagittarius.

We ran Dumbledore 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 fire: a Sagittarius Sun, and an Aries temper most students never get to see.

NEBO's take

Sagittarius SunRead from his personality
  • Sun CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeSagittarius

    Canon never gives a date. Sagittarius fits the teacher and the joker in one: big speeches, sherbet lemons, a soft spot for Muggle knitting patterns.

  • Moon CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeAries

    Aries is the temper under the calm. When Fudge refuses to believe Voldemort is back, Dumbledore stops being polite and tells him he's blinded by love of his office.

  • Rising CanonNo birth timeNEBO's takeAries

    No birth time in canon. First impression on Privet Drive: he pops up out of nowhere and clicks the streetlamps out one by one. Aries rising, no knocking.

  • Mercury CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeSagittarius

    Sagittarius talks in big, simple truths: "It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live." Wise, and a little sideways.

  • Venus CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeScorpio

    Scorpio keeps his own heart off the record. Asked what he sees in the Mirror of Erised, he says socks, and Harry only later wonders if that was true.

  • Mars CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeAries

    Aries hits fast. When Fudge comes to arrest him, he takes down a room full of wizards in seconds and leaves with his phoenix.

What canon does give us: his words and his choices, not a date. Every sign below is backed by a scene from the books or the films.

How he shows up

Why he's like this

Sagittarius is the sign of big ideas, humor and teaching. Dumbledore is all three, with an Aries temper he rarely lets out.

  • CoreSagittarius Sun

    Says the odd thing on purpose

    Start-of-term feast, first year. He stands, beams and says "Nitwit! Blubber! Oddment! Tweak!" Then sits down. Percy calls him a genius, and admits he's a bit mad.

    Philosopher's Stone

  • CoreSagittarius Sun

    Generous to the last second

    End-of-year feast. The House Cup looks settled until he hands out last-minute points, the final ten to Neville for standing up to his own friends.

    Philosopher's Stone

  • MindMercury in Sagittarius

    Advice that sticks for years

    He finds Harry at the Mirror of Erised for the third night running and tells him, "It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live."

    Philosopher's Stone

  • LoveVenus in Scorpio

    Keeps his heart private

    Harry asks what he sees in the mirror. A pair of thick woollen socks, he says. Back in bed, Harry thinks it was rather a personal question.

    Philosopher's Stone

  • FeelingsAries Moon

    The calm can crack

    "Did you put your name in the Goblet of Fire?" In the film he grabs Harry by the shoulders and shouts it. The book has him ask calmly, and fans still joke about it.

    Goblet of Fire, film only (the book has him ask calmly)

  • In a fightMars in Aries

    Fast when it counts

    Fudge arrives to arrest him over Dumbledore's Army. He says the army was his, stuns the room and vanishes in a burst of phoenix fire.
