Minerva McGonagall: zodiac sign and birth chart

Minerva McGonagall is a Libra, born on October 4. Canon never gives the year, so her Moon and the rest of her chart come from NEBO's take. Libra fits the Head of Gryffindor who takes points from her own house the moment it's fair.

NEBO's take

Canon says Libra. Her personality says Aries.

We ran McGonagall through the same model that matches people to characters in the app, and looked at which chart gets her most often. It reads her as fire: Aries Sun, Leo Moon, and a stare that ends arguments.

NEBO's take

Aries SunRead from her personality
  • Sun CanonLibraNEBO's takeAries

    Canon's Libra is the fairness: fifty points each from her own house, no favorites. Our Aries is the speed and the bluntness she delivers it with.

  • Moon CanonNo birth yearNEBO's takeLeo

    Canon gives no year, so the Moon is our take. Leo fits her pride in Gryffindor: she puts a first-year on the house team because she wants to win the Cup.

  • Rising CanonNo birth timeNEBO's takeAries

    No birth time in canon. First impression on Harry's first night: a tall witch in emerald robes, clearly not someone to cross. Aries rising, to the letter.

  • Mercury CanonNo birth yearNEBO's takeNo clear pick

  • Venus CanonNo birth yearNEBO's takeAries

    Aries shows care through toughness. After Harry's row with Umbridge she tells him to keep his head down, then pushes the biscuit tin his way.

  • Mars CanonNo birth yearNEBO's takeLeo

    Leo fights out loud and in public. In the careers meeting she tells Umbridge, in front of Harry, that she'll get him into the Aurors if it's the last thing she does.

Where we agree: Libra and Aries sit opposite each other, and she has both. Libra weighs what's fair, Aries says it to your face.

How she shows up

Why she's like this

Libra is the sign of justice, balance and keeping the peace. McGonagall gives all three a hard edge, and NEBO's Leo and Aries fill in the rest of her chart.

  • CoreLibra Sun

    Fair, even to her own house

    Harry, Hermione and Neville are caught out of bed at night. Fifty points each, taken from her own Gryffindor, which drops them to last place overnight.

    Philosopher's Stone

  • CoreLibra Sun

    Keeps the peace, her way

    "Have a biscuit, Potter." She has just told him to keep his head down around Umbridge. A tin of Ginger Newts is the closest she gets to a hug.

    Order of the Phoenix

  • First impressionAries rising

    Not someone to cross

    First night at Hogwarts. She meets the first-years at the door, and Harry's very first thought is that this is not someone to cross.

    Philosopher's Stone

  • FeelingsLeo Moon

    Proud of her house

    She sees Harry dive for Neville's Remembrall on his first flying lesson. Instead of punishing him, she makes him the youngest house player in about a century.

    Philosopher's Stone

  • In a fightMars in Leo

    Fights out loud

    The careers meeting, with Umbridge sitting in. Harry wants to be an Auror, Umbridge says no chance, and McGonagall vows to get him there if it's the last thing she does.
