We ran Barbossa 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 pure fire: bold, theatrical and used to winning.

Aries takes what it wants. Barbossa took the Pearl by mutiny and held onto it.

An Aries Moon craves sensation. Under the curse food has no taste and sleep never comes, and it drives him mad.
- Rising

No birth time in canon. First impression: a grin, a monkey and a hat, then moonlight turns him into a skeleton.

Aries Venus loves the prize. The Black Pearl is the one thing he really wants.
- Mars
CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeLibra
Libra Mars switches sides while staying himself, and comes out on top anyway.
What the films do give: a captain who is charming, cunning and cursed, and who comes out on top by changing sides at the right moment. Aries leads with nerve. Libra Mars knows when to deal.
