Molly Hooper: zodiac sign and birth chart
Molly Hooper has no canon birthday. The BBC series Sherlock never gives one, and she does not exist in Conan Doyle. Read from her personality, she is a Cancer. She is a pathologist at St. Bartholomew's Hospital, shy, awkward in conversation and quietly irreplaceable. Cancer Sun, Moon, rising and Mars fit the heart. A Virgo Venus fits the careful hands.

NEBO's take
No birthday in canon. Her personality says Cancer.
We ran Molly 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 and earth: quiet, careful and a lot stronger than she looks.

Cancer shelters the people it cares about. Molly lets Sherlock use the morgue even though it breaks every rule.

A Cancer Moon hides feelings and shows them in actions. She is long and hopelessly in love with Sherlock, who barely notices.
- Rising

No birth time in canon. First impression: shy, a little awkward and gone before you can say thank you.

Virgo Venus loves by helping. She gives a lot and asks for very little.
- Mars

Cancer Mars protects its people. When his friends' lives depend on it, she is the one who steps up.
What the show does give: a woman who does the impossible quietly, without credit. Cancer is the loyalty. Virgo is the competence.
