Forrest Gump: zodiac sign and birth chart
Forrest Gump has no canon birthday. Neither the film nor the book gives one. Read from his personality, he's a Cancer: gentle, loyal and not rattled by anyone who says he can't. Sun, Moon, rising and Mercury all sit in Cancer, so Mama and home are at the center of everything he does.

NEBO's take
No birthday in canon. His personality says Cancer.
We ran Forrest 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: tender, loyal and happiest when he knows where home is, with a Taurus Mars that doesn't quit.

Cancer Moon is Mama and home. After Bubba dies, Forrest keeps their shrimp boat plan alive and looks after Bubba's mama.
- Rising
CanonNo birth timeNEBO's takeCancer
No birth time in canon. First impression on the bench: a polite man in a suit who offers you a chocolate and starts talking.
- Mercury
CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeCancer
Cancer Mercury speaks in the voice of the people who raised it. "Stupid is as stupid does" is Mama's rule, and Forrest hands it on without a trace of irony.
- Venus
CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeLeo
Leo Venus loves with a big, open heart. Whenever Jenny turns up in his life, Forrest is there, and he gives her his home.
- Mars
CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeTaurus
Taurus Mars takes a long time to move, then doesn't stop. In Vietnam he keeps going back under fire for his buddies.
What canon does give: a boy told he's different, and a mama who says he isn't. Cancer answers by holding on to the people who love him and doing the next simple thing.
