Shikamaru Nara: zodiac sign and birth chart
Shikamaru Nara is a Virgo, born on September 22, the last day of the sign. Canon never gives the year, so his Moon and the rest of his chart come from NEBO's take. Virgo fits the kid who calls everything a drag and still has the plan ready before the fight starts.

NEBO's take
Canon says Virgo. His personality says Aquarius.
We ran Shikamaru 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: Aquarius Sun, Moon, rising and Mars, with the loyalty tucked underneath.

CanonVirgoNEBO's takeAquarius
Canon's Virgo is the planner: he beats Kin by sending his shadow along her own wire. Aquarius is the part that would rather be a cloud than take the credit.
- Moon
CanonNo birth yearNEBO's takeAquarius
Aquarius Moon likes distance. In the middle of his match with Temari he is thinking about how lucky the clouds are, free and with nobody expecting anything.
- Rising
CanonNo birth timeNEBO's takeAquarius
No birth time in canon. First impression: a bored genin who is quietly glad when Ino fills in his exam for him.
- Mercury
CanonNo birth yearNEBO's takeAquarius
Aquarius thinks sideways. He lures Temari toward the tunnel Naruto dug in the earlier match and catches her from underground.
- Venus
CanonNo birth yearNEBO's takeCapricorn
Capricorn shows love by doing the work. He marks the trail so Choji can find the team.
- Mars
CanonNo birth yearNEBO's takeAquarius
Aquarius Mars stays cool when things go wrong. He volunteers to ambush the Sound ninja chasing the group while the others run on.
Where we agree: it's all brain and no hurry. Virgo checks every detail, Aquarius steps back far enough to see the whole board.
How he shows up
Why he's like this
Virgo is the sign of planning, detail and thinking it through. Shikamaru does all three, usually lying down. NEBO's Aquarius and Capricorn fill in the rest of his chart.
CoreVirgo Sun
Reads the whole fight
Kin rings bells tied to senbon to distract him. Shikamaru spots the trick, then sends his shadow along the wires she is holding, and she never notices until she's frozen.

Plans three moves ahead
Tayuya thinks she's won. Shikamaru leaves a kunai within her reach, breaks his own finger to snap out of her genjutsu, and tells her the first move in shogi is always a feint.

Calm when it goes wrong
Nine Sound ninja are on the group's trail. Shikamaru volunteers to stay behind and ambush them, buying time for Naruto and Sakura to run on.

First impressionAquarius rising
Too much effort
The written exam is built so that you have to cheat. Ino takes over Shikamaru's body to write out Sakura's answers, and he is glad he doesn't have to do it himself.
