Sam Winchester: zodiac sign and birth chart

Sam Winchester is a Taurus, born on May 2, 1983. That tracks for the brother who walked away from hunting for law school and kept digging through lore anyway. Sun, Mercury and Mars all sit in Taurus: patient, stubborn and almost impossible to move once he has decided.

NEBO's take

Canon says Taurus. Our model says Virgo.

We ran Sam 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 Virgo first: careful, detail-obsessed and always checking one more source before he acts.

NEBO's take

Virgo SunRead from his personality
  • Sun CanonTaurusNEBO's takeVirgo

    Canon's Taurus leaves for Stanford against his father's wishes and doesn't flinch. Virgo is the one with the library card, who reads up on the monster before anyone else moves.

  • Moon CanonCapricornNEBO's takeCancer

    Canon's Capricorn does the duty even when he hates it. Our Cancer misses home and keeps trying to build a normal life.

  • Rising CanonNo birth timeNEBO's takeLibra

    No birth time in canon. First impression: tall, polite and quiet, the guy who would rather be in a library.

  • Mercury CanonTaurusNEBO's takeVirgo

    Taurus Mercury is patient research: Sam with a laptop or a stack of books until the answer shows up. Our Virgo checks every detail twice.

  • Venus CanonGeminiNEBO's takeVirgo

    Canon's Gemini talks, listens and wants to see the person behind the monster. Our Virgo cares by trying to fix it: he looks for a way to save Madison instead of putting her down.

  • Mars CanonTaurusNEBO's takeCancer

    Taurus Mars doesn't move until it has to, then it doesn't stop. Cancer Mars fights hardest for family: it's Dean turning up about their missing father that pulls him back onto the road.

Where we agree: both signs are earth and both want facts before force. Canon's Taurus digs in and reads the book, our Virgo checks every detail twice.
