NEBO's take

Canon says Capricorn. His personality agrees: Capricorn.

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

NEBO's take

Capricorn SunRead from his personality
  • Sun CanonCapricornNEBO's takeCapricorn

    Canon and our model both say Capricorn: the orphan who decides he will be great and plans it out.

  • Moon CanonScorpioNEBO's takeCapricorn

    Canon's Moon is Scorpio for most of the day and Sagittarius by evening. Our Capricorn Moon is the cold one: no friends, only followers.

  • Rising CanonNo birth timeNEBO's takeLeo

    No birth time in canon. First impression in the orphanage, Leo style: a tall, dark-haired eleven-year-old who already talks like he's in charge.

  • Mercury CanonSagittariusNEBO's takeCapricorn

    Canon's Sagittarius preaches a whole worldview in one line. Our Capricorn plans in silence, for years, before saying a word.

  • Venus CanonCapricornNEBO's takeSagittarius

    Capricorn values people by what they are worth to him. Sagittarius loves the idea of greatness more than any person.

  • Mars CanonTaurusNEBO's takeAquarius

    Taurus is patience: thirteen years as less than a ghost, and he still comes back. Aquarius is the cold, detached way he fights.

Where we agree: Capricorn in the Sun, and Sagittarius in both charts. Canon puts Sagittarius in his mind, our model puts it in his Venus. Either way: ambition with a plan.

How he shows up

Why he's like this

Capricorn is the sign of ambition, control and climbing to the top. Voldemort takes every part of it as far as it can go.

  • CoreCapricorn Sun

    Always knew he was special

    Dumbledore tells the orphan boy he's a wizard. He isn't even surprised: "I knew I was special. Always, I knew there was something."

    Half-Blood Prince

  • FeelingsScorpio Moon

    Keeps his secrets in a box

    In his wardrobe, a box of things taken from other orphans: a yo-yo, a silver thimble, a tarnished mouth organ. Dumbledore makes him give every one back.

    Half-Blood Prince

  • CoreCapricorn Sun

    Goes after the top job

    Years after leaving school, he walks back into Hogwarts and asks Dumbledore for the Defence Against the Dark Arts post. Dumbledore says no.

    Half-Blood Prince

  • MindMercury in Sagittarius

    A whole philosophy in one line

    "There is no good and evil, there is only power, and those too weak to seek it." Fans still quote it. Pure Sagittarius preaching, aimed at the dark.

    Sorcerer's Stone

  • LoveVenus in Capricorn

    Loyalty is a transaction

    In the graveyard he walks the circle of masked Death Eaters, names who stayed loyal and who didn't, and pays Wormtail for his service with a silver hand.

    Goblet of Fire

  • In a fightMars in Taurus

    Waits as long as it takes

    He tells his followers how he spent thirteen years hiding in the forests of Albania, "less than spirit, less than the meanest ghost", and simply waited.
