Shanks: zodiac sign and birth chart
Shanks is a Pisces, born on March 9. Canon never gives a year, so only his Sun is official and the rest of his chart is NEBO's take. Pisces fits the pirate who laughs off an insult, hands a kid his hat as a promise and turns scary only when his friends are touched.

NEBO's take
Canon says Pisces. Our model says Cancer.
We ran Shanks 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 Cancer first, with Cancer Rising and Mars and a Libra Moon.

CanonPiscesNEBO's takeCancer
Canon's Pisces laughs off an insult. Cancer is the protective one who looks after a kid who isn't ready yet, and waits.
- Moon
CanonNo birth yearNEBO's takeLibra
Canon gives no year, so the Moon is our take. Libra wants peace at the table, and Shanks would rather end a fight with a drink than a blade.
- Rising
CanonNo birth timeNEBO's takeCancer
No birth time in canon. First impression, Cancer style: a red-haired captain who walks into a village bar and makes everyone feel at home.
- Mercury CanonNo birth yearNEBO's takeNo clear pick
- Venus
CanonNo birth yearNEBO's takeGemini
Gemini Venus makes friends with everyone. Shanks throws feasts, and he gives his hat to a kid because it's worth something to him.
- Mars
CanonNo birth yearNEBO's takeCancer
Cancer Mars guards what's his. In Foosha Village he gives up an arm to a Sea King for a child.
Where we agree: both charts are generous and unflappable. Pisces gives without counting, Cancer looks after whoever sits at his table, and Shanks does both with a drink in his hand.
How he shows up
Why he's like this
Pisces is the sign of generosity, calm and a heart bigger than the ego. Shanks hits every one of them, in scenes fans know by heart, and NEBO's Cancer adds the protective streak.
