Meruem: zodiac sign and birth chart
Meruem has no canon birthday. He is born in the story, in chapter 212, but no calendar date is ever given. Read from his personality, he's a Cancer: the King of the Chimera Ants, born to be the strongest being in the world, who begins by seeing humans as food and tools. Scorpio rising and Mars bring the intensity. A gungi board changes everything.

NEBO's take
No birthday in canon. His personality says Cancer.
We ran Meruem 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 water behind a very hard shell: proud, intense and capable of changing completely once something gets through.

Cancer has a hard shell around a soft center. Meruem begins as a king who trusts no one, and the shell is the first thing you notice.

CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeScorpio
Scorpio Mars is relentless. He learns even mid-battle and gets stronger by the minute.
What canon does give: a king built to rule and an unexpected capacity to learn. Cancer is the shell. Scorpio is the depth that finally makes room for someone else.
How he shows up
Why he's like this
