Nick Fury: zodiac sign and birth chart

Nick Fury is a Cancer, born on July 4, 1950, the date on his S.H.I.E.L.D. ID card in Captain Marvel. That fits the man who builds a family out of misfits: Sun and Mercury both in Cancer, a director who remembers every detail and ends up keeping a cat.

NEBO's take

Canon says Cancer. His personality says Scorpio.

We ran Fury 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 a keeper of secrets: the man with a plan he hasn't told you about.

NEBO's take

Scorpio SunRead from his personality
  • Sun CanonCancerNEBO's takeScorpio

    Canon's Cancer gathers people under one roof, starting with an unannounced visit to Tony Stark. Scorpio is the part that never tells anyone the whole plan.

  • Moon CanonPiscesNEBO's takeCancer

    Canon's Pisces Moon feels for the lost: he helps Vers escape when his orders say otherwise. Our Cancer Moon takes in strays too, and he ends up with a cat.

  • Rising CanonNo birth timeNEBO's takeAries

    No birth time in canon. First impression in Captain Marvel: a desk agent in 1995 who admits he never expected the threat to come from above. Aries rising: restless, eager to be in the field.

  • Mercury CanonCancerNEBO's takeScorpio

    Canon's Cancer remembers the personal stuff: first pet, Mr. Snoofers. Our Scorpio Mercury drops one line and walks: "Mr. Stark, you've become part of a bigger universe."

  • Venus CanonGeminiNEBO's takeScorpio

    Canon's Gemini trades banter: he answers Carol's Skrull test with Mr. Snoofers and a strong opinion about toast. Our Scorpio Venus trusts slowly: in The Winter Soldier he says the last time he trusted someone, he lost an eye.

  • Mars CanonLibraNEBO's takeLibra

    Same sign on both sides. Libra Mars weighs the board before it moves: in The Winter Soldier he has Pierce delay Project Insight and arranges a ship hijack to buy himself cover.

Where we agree: Mars in Libra on both sides. Fury fights by arranging the board, and lets other people throw the punches.

How he shows up

Why he's like this

Cancer is the sign of home, memory and looking after your own. Fury hits every one, in scenes fans quote.

  • CoreCancer Sun

    Builds the family

    Fury is waiting in Tony Stark's home. "Mr. Stark, you've become part of a bigger universe. You just don't know it yet." He introduces himself as director of S.H.I.E.L.D. and brings up the Avenger Initiative. The team starts with one visit.

    Trusts nobody, except a cat

    Goose, the cat Carol and Fury pull out of Project Pegasus, ends up with Fury. The spy who trusts nobody goes home with a cat.

  • MindMercury in Cancer

    Remembers it all

    Carol has to check he isn't a shapeshifting Skrull, so she asks about his past. Fury answers without blinking: his first pet was called Mr. Snoofers, and he can't eat toast cut diagonally.

  • LoveVenus in Gemini

    Banter as armor

    He coos at Goose like she's an ordinary cat. The cat that isn't a cat scratches his eye, and the man who trusts nobody ends up with a famous eyepatch.

    Captain Marvel (2019)

  • In a fightMars in Libra

    Plays the whole board

    He hires the mercenary Batroc to hijack a S.H.I.E.L.D. ship so Natasha has cover to pull the Insight data, and when he can't read it he gets Pierce to delay the launch.

    Captain America: The Winter Soldier

  • FeelingsPisces Moon

    Backs the stranger

    His orders are to watch Carol. When he realizes his boss is the Skrull Talos in disguise, he helps her escape Project Pegasus in a prototype jet, with Goose along for the ride.
