Bilbo Baggins: zodiac sign and birth chart
Bilbo Baggins is a Virgo, born on September 22, the same day as his heir Frodo. The year is in Shire Reckoning, so only the day counts. Virgo fits the respectable hobbit with a neat pantry and a tidy mind who is somehow the best burglar in the company.

SourceBirthday: Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring ('A Long-expected Party'): Bilbo and Frodo share September 22. The year is in Shire Reckoning, not our calendar, so only the Sun is canon. The other planets are NEBO's take.

NEBO's take
Canon says Virgo. Our model agrees.
We ran Bilbo 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 too: Sun, Moon and Mercury, with Aquarius rising and Cancer Mars.

CanonVirgoNEBO's takeVirgo
Canon's Virgo is the proper hobbit: tea, seed-cake, a place for everything. It is also the one who does the job when it needs doing.
- Moon
CanonNo birth yearNEBO's takeVirgo
Virgo Moon shows its feelings by organizing. Before he vanishes from his party, Bilbo has put a labeled parcel aside for every guest.
- Rising
CanonNo birth timeNEBO's takeAquarius
No birth time in canon. First impression, Aquarius style: a bit eccentric, and the neighbors always whisper about him. Then he vanishes in a flash at his party.
- Mercury
CanonNo birth yearNEBO's takeVirgo
Virgo Mercury is precise with words. In the dark under the mountain he outwits Gollum at riddles and wins with a question that isn't a riddle at all.
- Venus CanonNo birth yearNEBO's takeNo clear pick
- Mars
CanonNo birth yearNEBO's takeCancer
Cancer Mars fights to protect the people close to him. In Mirkwood he fights the spiders to free the dwarves, and names his sword Sting.
Canon and the model agree on Virgo. The rest of the chart adds a love of comfort and the odd, secret-keeping Aquarius.
How he shows up
Why he's like this
Virgo is the sign of order, wit and getting the job done quietly. Bilbo does all of it, in scenes fans know by heart.
CoreVirgo Sun
Very respectable, until he isn't
Thirteen dwarves and a wizard turn up for tea at Bag End. Bilbo frets about his plates and cake, and by the end of the evening he has agreed to be their burglar.

MindMercury in Virgo
Wins by wits
Alone under the mountain, Bilbo plays the riddle game with Gollum. His last question, what he has in his pocket, isn't really a riddle, and Gollum can't answer.

Labels every gift
Before he leaves the Shire, Bilbo sets aside a parcel for each friend with a name written on it, ready and waiting in Bag End.

The neighbor everyone talks about
At his 111th birthday party Bilbo gives a speech, puts on the Ring and disappears in a flash. All Hobbiton talks about it for years.
