Bard the Bowman: zodiac sign and birth chart
Bard the Bowman has no canon birthday. Neither The Hobbit nor Tolkien's appendices give one, so the chart is NEBO's take, read from his personality. He's a Virgo: the practical, gloomy archer of Lake-town who says what no one wants to hear, and gets the details right when it counts.

NEBO's take
No birthday in canon. His personality says Virgo.
We ran Bard 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 Virgo first: Sun, rising and Mercury, with Capricorn Moon and Mars and Leo Venus.

CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeVirgo
Virgo notices what others miss. Bard is the one who knows how to answer the dragon.
- Moon

Capricorn Moon is dry and serious. The people of Lake-town call him grim, a man who forecasts floods and poisoned fish.
- Rising
CanonNo birth timeNEBO's takeVirgo
No birth time in canon. First impression, Virgo style: lean, plain-spoken and watching everything.
- Mercury
CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeVirgo
Virgo Mercury argues from the facts. He tells Thorin what Lake-town is owed and how much.
- Venus
CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeLeo
Leo Venus is generous once the fight is over. He shares the treasure with those who lost their homes.
- Mars
CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeCapricorn
Capricorn Mars is cold and steady. He keeps shooting while the town burns, and keeps his last arrow back.
What canon does give: a man the town calls a gloomy grumbler, who keeps his head when everything burns. Virgo is the sign of the careful eye.
