Magneto (Erik Lehnsherr): zodiac sign and birth chart
Magneto has no canon birthday. The films show him as a boy at Auschwitz in 1944 and never give a date of birth. Read from his personality, he's an Aries: Sun, Moon and rising all in the sign of the first strike, with a flair for the stage and a Gemini Mars that always has a trick.

SourceNo canon birthday: no X-Men film gives Magneto one, only the 1944 Auschwitz scene where he is a boy. The chart is NEBO's take, read from his personality, for the character played by both Ian McKellen and Michael Fassbender.

Magneto's chart at a glance
No canon birthday, so this is NEBO's take, read from his character.
NEBO's take
No birthday in canon. His personality says Aries.
We ran Magneto 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 fire first: a man who has decided never to wait for permission again.

Aries moves first. In First Class, Erik goes after Shaw alone and nearly drowns, and Charles has to pull him out.
- Moon
CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeAries
Aries Moon runs on anger. As a boy at Auschwitz, his power breaks out when an officer pushes him to move a coin, and the room around him comes apart.
- Rising
CanonNo birth timeNEBO's takeAries
First impression: a boy at Auschwitz bending a metal gate with his mind while soldiers pull him from his parents. Aries rising: head-on, with no warning.

Gemini Mars wins with a trick. In X2 there's no metal in his prison, so Mystique gets iron into a guard's blood and Magneto walks out on it.
What canon does give: the year that shaped him, 1944. Everything Magneto does later, from a hunt for Shaw to a plan on Liberty Island, starts with the boy at the gate.
How he shows up
Why he's like this
Aries is the sign of the first move, anger and not waiting. Magneto hits every one, and his Gemini Mars adds the stagecraft.

Anger opens the door
At Auschwitz a boy separated from his parents bends a metal gate by will alone. When the officer pushes him to move a coin, his rage finally breaks the room.
