Ryan Howard: zodiac sign and birth chart
Ryan Howard has no canon birthday. The Office never gives him one. Read from his personality, he's an Aries: Sun, rising, Venus and Mars all in the same sign. The temp who moves up faster than anyone expects, always looks sharp and rarely finishes what he starts. A Pisces Mercury dreams up the plans, and a Libra Moon keeps the image polished.

NEBO's take
No birthday in canon. His personality says Aries.
We ran Ryan 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: ambitious, impatient and always chasing the next big thing.

CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeAries
Aries goes first. Ryan goes from the temp's desk to a corporate title before anyone has learned his last name.
- Moon
CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeLibra
A Libra Moon cares how things look. Ryan always looks like a million bucks and treats the polish as the work.
- Rising
CanonNo birth timeNEBO's takeAries
No birth time in canon. First impression: the quiet new temp Michael introduces in the first episode.
- Mercury
CanonNot in canonNEBO's takePisces
Pisces Mercury dreams big and loses the plan. WUPHF.com is a pitch that sounds clever for about ten seconds.
- Venus
CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeAries
Aries Venus is hot and cold. He and Kelly break up and get back together so often it turns into a running gag.
- Mars
CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeAries
Aries Mars has no patience for rituals. At the farm he takes one look at Dwight's initiation and walks away.
What canon does give: a temp who becomes the boss's boss and then loses it all by shortcuts. An Aries answer is to go first, fast, and not look back.
How he shows up
Why he's like this
Aries is the sign of going first, ambition and no patience for waiting. Ryan hits it in scenes fans know by heart.
First impressionAries rising
The new temp
The first time we see him, Michael introduces him as the new temp.
Season 1, "Pilot"
CoreAries Sun
Climbs fast
The temp is a corporate vice president by the start of Season 4, and Michael now reports to him.
Season 4, "Dunder Mifflin Infinity"
In a fightMars in Aries
No patience for rituals
Dwight takes him to the beet farm as his sales initiation and tells him to wrestle Mose. Ryan gets angry and walks away.
Season 3, "Initiation"
MindMercury in Pisces
Big idea, thin plan
He pitches WUPHF.com, a service that sends the same message to every device a person owns at once. It sounds like a joke and Andy still invests.
Season 7, "WUPHF.com"
LoveVenus in Aries
Hot and cold
He and Kelly get together, break up and get back together so often that the office stops keeping score.
