Remus Lupin: zodiac sign and birth chart

Remus Lupin is a Pisces, born on March 10, 1960. The shabby, kind Defence teacher who hands out chocolate after a dementor attack and gives Harry the best Defence lessons he ever has. Sun and Mercury in Pisces: he gets what you're afraid of before you say it.

NEBO's take

Canon says Pisces. His personality says Aries.

We ran Lupin through the same model that matches people to characters in the app, and looked at which chart gets him most often. It finds a fighter under the patched robes: Aries, the man who stands up when a dementor walks into the compartment.

NEBO's take

Aries SunRead from his personality
  • Sun CanonPiscesNEBO's takeAries

    Canon's Pisces is the kindness and the quiet sadness. Aries is the courage under it: he teaches a thirteen-year-old a spell most grown wizards can't cast.

  • Moon CanonLeoNEBO's takeAries

    Canon's Leo Moon enjoys putting on a show for a class. Our Aries Moon is the fast reaction: on the train he's up, wand out, before the dementor reaches Harry.

  • Rising CanonNo birth timeNEBO's takeCancer

    No birth time in canon. First impression on the Hogwarts Express: a tired man asleep in the corner, robes darned in several places. Cancer rising is the soft, homely shell.

  • Mercury CanonPiscesNEBO's takePisces

    Here canon and our model agree: Pisces. He talks to scared thirteen-year-olds in pictures, like Snape in Neville's grandmother's clothes.

  • Venus CanonAquariusNEBO's takeAries

    Canon's Aquarius Venus keeps love at arm's length. Our Aries wants it anyway, and that tug-of-war lasts a whole book.

  • Mars CanonAquariusNEBO's takePisces

    Canon's Aquarius fights cool and clever. Our Pisces avoids the fight: in Snape's Pensieve memory he keeps his eyes on his book while his friends torment Snape.

Where we agree: Mercury in Pisces. Canon and our model both see a man who reads people's fear and talks them through it.

How he shows up

Why he's like this

Pisces is the sign of empathy, imagination and soft edges. Lupin teaches with all three, and his Aquarius Mars keeps him cool in a crisis.

  • CorePisces Sun

    Knows what you need

    After the dementor on the train, he snaps a huge slab of chocolate into pieces and hands them round. "Eat. It'll help."

    Prisoner of Azkaban

  • CorePisces Sun

    Understands fear

    He stops Harry facing the boggart in class. When Harry admits it would have been a dementor, Lupin says that means he fears fear itself. Very wise, he adds.

    Prisoner of Azkaban

  • MindMercury in Pisces

    Teaches with pictures

    Neville's boggart is Snape. Lupin has him picture Snape in his grandmother's clothes, vulture hat and all, and the whole class cracks up.

    Prisoner of Azkaban

  • FeelingsLeo Moon

    Likes a bit of show

    On the way to his first lesson he shoots a wad of chewing gum out of a keyhole and straight up Peeves's nose. The class is impressed before he's taught a thing.

    Prisoner of Azkaban

  • In a fightMars in Aquarius

    Cool, clever, unusual

    Harry needs to fight dementors. Lupin finds a boggart, lets it turn into one, and drills him on the Patronus Charm after hours for weeks.

    Prisoner of Azkaban

  • LoveVenus in Aquarius

    Love at arm's length

    Tonks loves him, and he keeps saying no: too old, too poor, too dangerous for her. His head argues with his heart for a whole year.
