Denethor: zodiac sign and birth chart
Denethor has no canon birthday. Tolkien gives no day, so the chart is NEBO's take, read from his personality. He's a Capricorn: the Steward who runs a whole kingdom by will, asks every question twice and trusts nobody's report but his own. A Virgo Moon is the eye for every detail.

NEBO's take
No birthday in canon. His personality says Capricorn.
We ran Denethor 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 earth first: Capricorn Sun and Virgo Moon, with Pisces rising and a blunt Sagittarius streak in Mercury, Venus and Mars.

CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeCapricorn
Capricorn runs on control. Denethor looks into the palantír of Minas Tirith, and Gandalf says it is his will that has kept him from being bent so far.
- Moon

Virgo Moon needs every detail. In Minas Tirith Denethor cross-examines Pippin about the fate of his elder son.
- Rising
CanonNo birth timeNEBO's takePisces
No birth time in canon. Pisces rising fits a first impression that is hard to pin down: a tall, proud lord with a keen eye and a long memory.
- Mercury
CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeSagittarius
Sagittarius Mercury says the harsh thing out loud. He tells Faramir he wishes Boromir had been the one to come home.
- Venus
CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeSagittarius
Sagittarius Venus puts all its love in one place. Canon shows his deepest feeling going to his elder son.
- Mars
CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeSagittarius
Sagittarius Mars keeps fighting on a wide, open front. Canon shows a lord who held the line against Mordor for decades.
What canon does give: a ruler of great intelligence and great pride who watches everything and shares very little. A Capricorn answer is a man who rules by will and trusts only himself.
How he shows up
Why he's like this
Capricorn is the sign of authority, control and carrying a heavy duty alone. Denethor hits all of it, in scenes fans know by heart.
CoreCapricorn Sun
Rules by will alone
Denethor looks into the palantír of Minas Tirith and learns much about the enemy's movements. Gandalf says it is his will that has kept him from being bent, so far.
The Return of the King, book, 'Minas Tirith'
FeelingsVirgo Moon
Weighs every word
Pippin swears fealty in Minas Tirith. Denethor questions him closely about how Boromir fell, and about everything else the hobbit saw.

Says the cruel thing
When Faramir tells how he let the Ring go, Denethor makes it plain he wishes Boromir were the son who came home.
