Genji: zodiac sign and birth chart
Genji is a Scorpio, born on October 28. Blizzard's hero page lists no year, so the rest of his chart is NEBO's take. Scorpio fits the cyborg ninja who rebuilt himself from the inside: Genji Shimada, the carefree son who ended up at peace with a body he once rejected.

NEBO's take
Canon says Scorpio. Our model says Sagittarius.
We ran Genji 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 Sagittarius first: Moon, rising, Mercury and Venus, with Aries Mars. Restless, honest and always heading for the next horizon.

CanonScorpioNEBO's takeSagittarius
Canon's Scorpio is the intensity: a fight with his brother nearly killed him, and he spent years working out who he was after. Sagittarius is the easy grin he wears now.
- Moon
CanonNo birth yearNEBO's takeSagittarius
No birth year in canon, so the Moon is our take. A Sagittarius Moon wants freedom: Genji wanders for years until the omnic monk Zenyatta becomes his mentor.
- Rising
CanonNo birth timeNEBO's takeSagittarius
No birth time in canon. First impression, Sagittarius style: relaxed, playful, the guy who shows up with a joke and a sword.
- Mercury
CanonNo birth yearNEBO's takeSagittarius
Sagittarius Mercury says the honest thing. At Shimada Castle he shows Hanzo he is alive, forgives him and tells him to forgive himself.
- Venus
CanonNo birth yearNEBO's takeSagittarius
Sagittarius loves loosely and loyally. He and Kiriko have been close since childhood.
- Mars
CanonNo birth yearNEBO's takeAries
Aries Mars is first through the door. In the Reign of Talon story he lets himself be captured so his family can get away.
Where we agree: both signs go all in. Scorpio goes deep and never forgets, Sagittarius moves on and looks for the meaning.
