Gandalf: zodiac sign and birth chart
Gandalf has no canon birthday. He is one of the Istari, a Maia sent to Middle-earth, and Tolkien gives him no date. Read from his personality, he's a Gemini: the wizard who talks trolls into losing track of time, tells long stories with a pipe in his mouth, and has a way with words that gets even hobbits to take him seriously.

NEBO's take
No birthday in canon. His personality says Gemini.
We ran Gandalf 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 Gemini first: Sun and Mercury, with Libra Moon, rising and Mars, and Cancer Venus.

Gemini SunRead from his personality- Sun
CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeGemini
Gemini is the voice in the room. In The Hobbit he imitates the trolls' voices to keep them arguing until the sun turns them to stone.
- Moon
CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeLibra
Libra Moon wants to do right without taking over. When Frodo offers him the Ring, he says no: he would use it with the best intentions and be spoiled by it.
- Rising
CanonNo birth timeNEBO's takeLibra
No birth time in canon. First impression, Libra style: charming and gracious under a pointed hat. In the film he arrives in the Shire on a cart full of fireworks.
- Mercury
CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeGemini
Gemini Mercury explains and questions at once. In The Shadow of the Past he puts the Ring in the fire and slowly tells Frodo what it is.
- Venus
CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeCancer
Cancer Venus has a soft spot for little, home-loving folk. For Bilbo's birthday he brings fireworks for the hobbit children.
- Mars
CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeLibra
Libra Mars stands firm without losing poise. On a narrow bridge in Moria he faces something far older than himself so that the others can get out.
What canon does give: an ancient being who acts like a traveling talker, always showing up and always sharing what he knows. Gemini is the sign of the messenger.

Gemini is the sign of wits, words and the messenger. Gandalf hits all of it, in scenes fans know by heart.

Refuses the easy power
Frodo offers him the Ring. Gandalf refuses and says he would use it with the best of intentions, and it would still turn him into a dark lord of his own.
