Shang Tsung: zodiac sign and birth chart
Shang Tsung has no canon birthday. The Mortal Kombat games never give one. Read from his personality, he's an Aquarius: the sorcerer who hosts the tournament and wears other people's faces. Sun in Aquarius, with a Sagittarius Moon and rising and a Leo Mars. Charming, calculating and never in anyone's debt.

NEBO's take
No birthday in canon. His personality says Aquarius.
We ran Shang Tsung 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 air over fire: clever, slippery and always working an angle, with a showman's streak.

Aquarius answers to nobody. He serves Shao Kahn, but his plans are always for power of his own.
- Moon

A Sagittarius Moon is restless and wants more. In the new era he starts as a small-time con man and keeps reaching until he's the main villain.

CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeLeo
Leo Mars fights with flair. Morph: he takes his opponent's form and fights with their own moves.
What the games do give: a sorcerer who serves Shao Kahn and dreams of power of his own. An Aquarius answer is to answer to nobody for long and keep the real plan to himself.
