Maximus: zodiac sign and birth chart
Maximus has no canon birthday. The film never gives one. Read from his personality, he's a Leo: the general who leads from the front, doesn't raise his voice more than he has to and makes a whole arena shout his name. Aries Moon and Mars bring the charge, Capricorn rising brings the discipline.

NEBO's take
No birthday in canon. His personality says Leo.
We ran Maximus 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: proud, loyal and at his best leading something worth fighting for.

Leo leads from the front. Before the battle in Germania, Maximus tells his men to hold until his signal, then give the order.
- Moon

Aries Moon reacts first. In the Colosseum, when a staged battle is going badly, he takes command of the other gladiators on the spot.

No birth time in canon. First impression: a soldier in a muddy cloak standing still in the frost, calm while the battlefield is loud.
- Mercury

Leo Mercury makes a statement. In the arena he takes off his helmet and gives his full name: Maximus Decimus Meridius.
- Venus CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeNo clear pick
- Mars
CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeAries
Aries Mars is the one who charges. Winning a fight in the arena, he turns on the crowd and asks if they're entertained.
What canon does give: a general stripped of everything but his name. Leo answers by making that name the one thing nobody can take.

In the first big fight, the gladiators are meant to lose a reenactment of a famous battle. Maximus pulls them into a shield wall and turns the fight around.
