Raiden: zodiac sign and birth chart
Raiden has no canon birthday. The Mortal Kombat games never give one. Read from his personality, he's a Cancer: the god who worries about everyone's survival, then takes every loss personally. Sun, Moon, rising and Mercury all sit in Cancer, with a Pisces Mars. Lightning is the loud part of a mentor.

NEBO's take
No birthday in canon. His personality says Cancer.
We ran Raiden 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 water first: protective, anxious for his people and slow to forgive his own mistakes.
Canon

Cancer guards the people it loves. Raiden gathers the best fighters for the tournament and stands behind them.
- Moon
CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeCancer
A Cancer Moon feels every loss. In Mortal Kombat 9 he sees a vision of the future and tries to change fate, and each move costs something.
- Rising
CanonNo birth timeNEBO's takeCancer
No birth time in canon. First impression: a calm, glowing figure who seems to know more than he says.
- Mercury

Cancer Mercury hints instead of explaining. He notices your potential and keeps dropping clues that none of this is a coincidence.
- Venus CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeNo clear pick
- Mars
CanonNot in canonNEBO's takePisces
Pisces Mars fights from belief, not anger. Teleport is the move: a flash of lightning and he is behind you.
What the games do give: the God of Thunder who gathers the fighters and guards a whole realm. A Cancer answer is carrying everyone's safety on his shoulders.
How he shows up
Why he's like this
Cancer is the sign of protection, memory and worry. Raiden hits all three in the stories fans know.

Guards a whole realm
He is the God of Thunder and protector of Earthrealm, and he gathers its best fighters for the tournament and leads them against Shao Kahn and other threats.

FeelingsCancer Moon
Takes every loss to heart
He gets visions of what is coming and tries to change fate. Every step he takes comes at a bitter price, and he grows harder and stricter afterward.

Vanishes in a flash
Teleport: Raiden disappears in lightning and reappears right behind his opponent. The calm figure is already where you are not looking.
