Monkey D. Luffy: zodiac sign and birth chart

Monkey D. Luffy is a Taurus, born on May 5. Canon never gives a year, so only his Sun is official and the rest of his chart is NEBO's take. Taurus fits the captain who can't be talked out of anything, guards a straw hat like a vow and raids the kitchen however many locks Sanji puts on it.

NEBO's take

Canon says Taurus. Our model says Sagittarius.

We ran Luffy 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: Sagittarius Sun and Mars, with an Aries Moon and Aries Rising.

NEBO's take

Sagittarius SunRead from his personality
  • Sun CanonTaurusNEBO's takeSagittarius

    Canon's Taurus is the stubborn appetite: Sanji locks the kitchen, Luffy empties it anyway. Sagittarius is the dream he shouts at every stranger, to be King of the Pirates.

  • Moon CanonNo birth yearNEBO's takeAries

    Canon gives no year, so the Moon is our take. Aries reacts before it thinks: in Sabaody a friend gets shot, and Luffy punches a Celestial Dragon in the face.

  • Rising CanonNo birth timeNEBO's takeAries

    No birth time in canon. First impression, Aries style: he finds Zoro tied up in a Marine yard, hears he's a feared pirate hunter, and asks him to join the crew.

  • Mercury CanonNo birth yearNEBO's takeSagittarius

    Sagittarius says it to your face. Luffy tells everyone his dream before anyone asks, and doesn't care who laughs.

  • Venus CanonNo birth yearNEBO's takeSagittarius

    Sagittarius loves freedom above all. For Luffy the crown of the Pirate King isn't money or power, it's being the freest person on the sea.

  • Mars CanonNo birth yearNEBO's takeSagittarius

    Sagittarius charges at anything. Against Enel, a self-declared god who throws lightning, Luffy shrugs: he's made of rubber.

Where we agree: both charts refuse to bend. Taurus digs in and won't be moved, Sagittarius runs at the horizon and won't be fenced. Either way, nobody tells Luffy what he's allowed to want.

How he shows up

Why he's like this

Taurus is the sign of stubbornness, appetite and holding on to what's yours. Luffy hits every one of them, in scenes fans know by heart, and NEBO's Sagittarius and Aries fill in the rest of his chart.

    A promise he never drops

    Shanks leaves his straw hat with young Luffy as a promise: bring it back when you're a great pirate. Luffy wears it through every fight and every storm since, and nothing gets him to take it off.

    Recruits first, asks questions later

    In Shells Town he finds Zoro tied to a post in the Marine yard. Coby warns him that Zoro is a feared pirate hunter, and Luffy's answer is to ask him to join the crew.

    Hits first when a friend is hurt

    On Sabaody a Celestial Dragon shoots his friend Hatchan. Nobody in that world touches a Celestial Dragon, and Luffy punches him in the face before anyone can talk him out of it.

    Charges at a god

    Enel rules Skypiea like a god and throws lightning. Luffy is rubber, so the lightning does nothing, and he keeps charging until he finds the one thing that hurts Enel: gold.

    Fights like a cartoon

    Against Kaido on Onigashima, Luffy's Devil Fruit awakens. He laughs, his body bends like a cartoon, and the fight turns into a joke only he gets.
