Boromir: zodiac sign and birth chart

Boromir has no canon birthday. Tolkien gives no day, so the chart is NEBO's take, read from his personality. He's an Aries: the proud captain of Gondor who says what he thinks at the Council, helps break a path through the snow for the hobbits and is first to the front.

NEBO's take

No birthday in canon. His personality says Aries.

We ran Boromir 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 Aries almost all the way: Sun, Moon, rising, Mercury and Venus, with a Gemini Mars.

NEBO's take

Aries SunRead from his personality

Sun CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeAries
Aries speaks first. At the Council of Elrond Boromir tells the others what Gondor has held back for years, and asks to use the Ring.
Moon CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeAries
Aries Moon feels everything at full volume. On Amon Hen the pull of the Ring becomes too much for him.
Rising CanonNo birth timeNEBO's takeAries
No birth time in canon. First impression, Aries style: tall, confident and loud, with the great horn of Gondor at his side.
Mercury CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeAries
Aries Mercury says it without a filter. He quotes the old verse from his dream and asks what it means.
Venus CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeAries
Aries loves with a challenge. In the film he teaches Merry and Pippin to fight, shoving them around with a grin.
Mars CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeGemini
Gemini Mars fights with whatever works. In the Chamber of Mazarbul he and Aragorn hold the door against orcs.

What canon does give: the strongest warrior of Gondor, carrying a whole city's hopes. Aries is the sign of the warrior who goes first.
