Kirito: zodiac sign and birth chart

Kirito is a Libra, born on October 7, 2008. Sun and Mercury both sit in Libra, the sign that keeps the scales level: the solo player who takes the 'beater' label on himself so the other players don't have to carry it. A Capricorn Moon hides the guilt, and Scorpio Venus and Mars go all in for the few people he picks.

NEBO's take

Canon says Libra. Our model says Scorpio.

We ran Kirito 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 Scorpio first: Sun and Moon, with Gemini Rising, Sagittarius Mercury, Libra Venus and Aries Mars. The loner in the black coat who goes all in for the few people he picks.

NEBO's take

Scorpio SunRead from his personality
  • Sun CanonLibraNEBO's takeScorpio

    Canon's Libra evens out the debt: he takes the 'beater' label so the hate lands on one person. Scorpio is why he spends most of Aincrad solo and keeps only the few people he picks.

  • Moon CanonCapricornNEBO's takeScorpio

    Canon's Capricorn grinds alone and carries the guilt quietly. Our Scorpio Moon is the part that keeps it all underneath and never says it.

  • Rising CanonNo birth timeNEBO's takeGemini

    No birth time in canon. First impression: a solo player in a black coat, a one-liner ready, and nobody quite sure what level he is.

  • Mercury CanonLibraNEBO's takeSagittarius

    Libra weighs both sides, and Sagittarius says the blunt thing once it has the answer. On the 75th floor he is the one who spots what the whole raid missed.

  • Venus CanonScorpioNEBO's takeLibra

    Scorpio loves all or nothing: Asuna is trapped, so he logs into a whole new game to reach her. Our Libra Venus is the partnership in it: he goes in as one half of a pair.

  • Mars CanonScorpioNEBO's takeAries

    Scorpio fights with total focus, and Starburst Stream is sixteen hits in a row. Our Aries Mars is the one who strikes first.

Where we agree: both signs keep distance and guard the few they choose. Libra weighs the room before it acts, Scorpio goes quiet and acts alone.

How he shows up

Why he's like this

Libra is the sign of balance, fairness and the weight of other people's opinions. Kirito hits all of it, in scenes fans know by heart.

  • CoreLibra Sun

    Takes the blame to even things out

    After the first-floor boss falls, the raid turns on the former beta testers. Kirito stands up, says most of them were beginners next to him, and takes the 'beater' label on himself so everyone else can walk away clean.

  • FeelingsCapricorn Moon

    Duty first, feelings later

    Hours into the death game he offers to take Klein along to the next village. Klein stays for his friends, and Kirito leaves alone to grind the beta-tester route, knowing exactly what he is leaving behind.

    All in when it counts

    Against the 74th floor boss he finally draws his second sword in front of everyone and cuts loose with Starburst Stream, sixteen hits in a row.

  • LoveVenus in Scorpio

    Would burn a world down for her

    Asuna is still asleep in the real world, and a screenshot shows her in a cage at the top of the World Tree. So he logs into Alfheim Online and starts fighting his way up with Leafa.

  • MindMercury in Libra

    Weighs it all, then names the truth

    On the 75th floor he works out why the guild leader's health never drops below half, puts the pieces together, and says out loud who the man really is.
