Gilderoy Lockhart: zodiac sign and birth chart
Gilderoy Lockhart is an Aquarius, born on January 26. Canon never gives the year, so only his Sun sign is official, and it suits a man who turns a book signing into a press event and a classroom into a fan club.

SourceBirthday: Wizarding World (formerly Pottermore). The year is never given in the books, so only the Sun is canon. Moon, rising and the other planets are NEBO's take, read from his personality.

NEBO's take
Canon says Aquarius. His personality says Libra.
Canon gives only the day, so we ran Lockhart through the same model that matches people to characters in the app for everything else. It reads him as Libra, with Gemini patter underneath: a man who never stops talking and always has an audience in mind.

CanonAquariusNEBO's takeLibra
Canon gives him an Aquarius Sun: the public figure with a cause and a fan base. Libra is the charm that gets him through every room.
- Moon
CanonNo birth yearNEBO's takeGemini
No birth year, so the Moon is NEBO's take. Gemini Moon needs an audience and a pen: Ron's verdict is that he'll sign anything if it stands still long enough.
- Rising
CanonNo birth timeNEBO's takeGemini
No birth time in canon. First impression at Flourish and Blotts: a smile in every direction, and within a minute he has Harry in front of the cameras.
- Mercury
CanonNo birth yearNEBO's takeVirgo
Virgo Mercury loves a list. His first class opens with a 54-question paper, and every single question is about him.
- Venus
CanonNo birth yearNEBO's takeLibra
Libra Venus turns romance into a production: Valentine's Day, dwarfs in golden wings, harps and singing cards.
- Mars
CanonNo birth yearNEBO's takeLibra
Libra Mars fights with ceremony. He bows and twirls his wand in the Dueling Club before Snape disarms him in front of the whole school.
Where we agree: both charts are air. Canon's Aquarius is the showman who wants the whole world watching, our Libra is the charm that keeps it watching.
How he shows up
Why he's like this
Aquarius is the sign of crowds, causes and doing things your own way. Lockhart treats every room as a crowd, with a Gemini mouth and Libra charm behind it.
First impressionGemini rising
Turns a signing into a press shoot
Flourish and Blotts, a crowd round the block. He spots Harry, pulls him into the Daily Prophet's photo, gives him his whole set of books and announces he'll be teaching Defence Against the Dark Arts.

The man with a fan club
He lists his Order of Merlin, his Dark Force Defence League membership and five Most-Charming-Smile awards, then says he doesn't like to talk about the smiles.

A few weeks into term Ron sums up the new teacher in one line: Lockhart will sign anything if it stands still long enough.

Bows first, fights later
In the Dueling Club he bows and twirls his wand in a fancy flourish. Snape just jerks his head. A moment later Lockhart is blasted off the platform and ends up sprawled on the floor.
