Harry Potter: zodiac sign and birth chart

Harry Potter is a Leo, born on July 31, 1980. The Dursleys never once celebrate it, which is rough on a sign that wants to be seen. Sun in Leo, Moon in Pisces: the boy who runs at danger, then sits in front of the Mirror of Erised night after night.

NEBO's take

Canon says Leo. His personality agrees: Leo.

We ran Harry through the same model that matches people to characters in the app, and looked at which chart gets him most often. It lands on Leo first, the same as canon: Sun, Venus and Mars, with Aries in the Moon, the mind and the Rising.

NEBO's take

Leo SunRead from his personality
  • Sun CanonLeoNEBO's takeLeo

    Canon and our model both say Leo: the hero who steps up when the whole school is watching, and never waits for permission. Brooms, trapdoors, forbidden corridors.

  • Moon CanonPiscesNEBO's takeAries

    Canon's Pisces Moon aches for the family he never had. Our Aries Moon blows up: Aunt Marge insults his parents and floats off like a balloon.

  • Rising CanonNo birth timeNEBO's takeAries

    No birth time in canon. First impression on the Hogwarts Express: the whole train already knows his name. Aries rising fits a boy who is already moving while everyone is still staring.

  • Mercury CanonCancerNEBO's takeAries

    Canon's Cancer talks from the gut and takes things personally. Our Aries talks back, even to Umbridge, with "I must not tell lies" cut into his hand.

  • Venus CanonGeminiNEBO's takeLeo

    Canon's Gemini is the awkward talker on the Valentine's date with Cho. Our Leo is the kiss with Ginny in front of the whole common room.

  • Mars CanonLibraNEBO's takeLeo

    Canon's Libra fights fair and tells Cedric about the dragons. Our Leo leads from the front: he's the one teaching Dumbledore's Army.

Where we agree: the Sun is Leo on both sides. Canon's Leo wants to be the one who saves the day, our Aries just goes, and both end up out of bed at midnight.

How he shows up

Why he's like this

Leo is the sign of courage, a big heart and needing to matter. Harry hits all of them, and his Pisces Moon adds the ache underneath.

  • CoreLeo Sun

    Jumps in when everyone's watching

    First flying lesson. Malfoy grabs Neville's Remembrall, Harry kicks off on a broom for the first time ever and catches it in a dive. McGonagall makes him Seeker the same day.

    Philosopher's Stone

  • CoreLeo Sun

    The saving-people thing

    Hermione says it out loud in fifth year: he has a "saving-people thing". He doesn't love hearing it. He goes anyway.

    Order of the Phoenix

  • FeelingsPisces Moon

    Wants the family he never had

    He finds the Mirror of Erised and sees his parents smiling back at him. He goes back three nights in a row, until Dumbledore has the mirror moved.

    Philosopher's Stone

  • MindMercury in Cancer

    Takes it personally, in capitals

    A whole summer with no news, then he sees Ron and Hermione at Grimmauld Place. He yells at them for pages, and the book prints it in capital letters.

    Order of the Phoenix

  • In a fightMars in Libra

    Plays fair even when it costs him

    First task of the Triwizard Tournament. Harry finds out it's dragons and tells Cedric, his rival, because otherwise it wouldn't be fair.

    Goblet of Fire

  • In a fightMars in Libra

    Won't leave anyone behind

    Second task, at the bottom of the lake. He frees Ron, then refuses to leave Fleur's little sister behind. He's last back and gets extra points for moral fibre.
