Horace Slughorn: zodiac sign and birth chart
Horace Slughorn is a Taurus, born on April 28. The year is never given, so his Moon and the rest of his chart come from NEBO's take. The Sun is canon, and it fits the man who loves a comfortable chair, good company and a very good dinner.

NEBO's take
Canon says Taurus. His personality says Scorpio.
We ran Slughorn 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 Scorpio: a collector of people, with plenty kept behind the good manners.

CanonTaurusNEBO's takeScorpio
Canon gives him Taurus, the lover of comfort: he would rather sit in a good chair than go back to work. Scorpio is the part that keeps hold of the people who matter to him.
- Moon
CanonNo birth yearNEBO's takeScorpio
Canon gives no Moon, because the year is never given. Scorpio is our pick: he hides well, even disguising himself as an armchair.
- Rising
CanonNo birth timeNEBO's takeLeo
No birth time in canon. First impression: a vast belly, a walrus mustache and a very big welcome. Leo rising loves a stage.
- Mercury CanonNo birth yearNEBO's takeNo clear pick
- Venus
CanonNo birth yearNEBO's takeLibra
No canon Venus. Libra is charm and good company, and the Slug Club is exactly that: a table full of the right people.
- Mars
CanonNo birth yearNEBO's takePisces
No canon Mars. Pisces avoids a fight: he spends a year moving from house to house to dodge trouble.
Where we agree: both signs hold on tight. Canon's Taurus clings to comfort, our Scorpio clings to the people he has collected.
How he shows up
Why he's like this
Taurus is the sign of comfort, appetite and not wanting to be moved. Slughorn is all of that, with a gift for choosing his company.

Not keen to move
Dumbledore finds him in retirement and asks him back to Hogwarts. Slughorn says he has retired. A few weeks later he is back in the Potions room.

He turns himself into an armchair when callers come to the door. Dumbledore walks into the wrecked room and pokes the chair with his wand until it gives up.
