Sally Jackson: zodiac sign and birth chart

Sally Jackson has no canon birthday. The books never give one. Read from her personality, she's a Cancer. Sun, Moon, Mercury and Venus all sit in the same sign: the mom who keeps the biggest secret in the world, works at a candy shop, dreams of being a writer and loves blue food. A Capricorn Mars means she does what has to be done.

NEBO's take

No birthday in canon. Her personality says Cancer.

We ran Sally through the same model that matches people to characters in the app, and looked at which chart gets her most often. It reads her as water first: warm, home-building and fiercely protective.

NEBO's take

Cancer SunRead from her personality

Sun CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeCancer
Cancer protects the people at home at any price. Sally puts up with a terrible husband for years to keep her son safe.
Moon CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeCancer
A Cancer Moon builds a home out of small things. She works at a candy shop, and blue candy is a family tradition.
Rising CanonNo birth timeNEBO's takeVirgo
No birth time in canon. First impression, Virgo style: tidy, kind and tired, with a pile of pages for the novel she is writing.
Mercury CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeCancer
Cancer Mercury says what the other person can handle. She knew Percy's father was a god and told him only what he needed, when it was safe.
Venus CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeCancer
Cancer loves for the long run. She still speaks warmly about Percy's father, years after he had to leave.
Mars CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeCapricorn
Capricorn Mars is patient and does the job. When the moment comes, she uses Medusa's head on Gabe and doesn't hesitate.

What canon does give: a mother who knows more than she says. A Cancer answer is that she kept the secret for years to keep her son safe, and it cost her.

How she shows up

Why she's like this

Cancer is the sign of home, care and fierce protection. Sally hits every one of them, in scenes fans know by heart.
