NEBO's take
No birthday in canon. His personality says Libra.
We ran Saruman 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 Libra first: Sun, rising and Mars, with Aquarius Moon and Leo Venus.

Libra is charm with an angle. When he tries to win Gandalf over, he offers knowledge, order and rule as if it's a reasonable bargain.
- Moon

Aquarius Moon lives in the head. Alone in Orthanc, he studies the palantír and is bent by what he sees.
- Rising

No birth time in canon. First impression, Libra style: a white robe, a smooth voice and a tower on a hill.

- Venus

Leo Venus loves splendor. He swaps plain white for a robe that shimmers in many colors.
- Mars
CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeLibra
Libra Mars prefers pressure to force. His staff is the one thing he trusts, and Gandalf breaks it.
What canon does give: the most learned and persuasive wizard, with a voice that bends people. Libra is the sign of charm, and of a deal that sounds fair.
