Jim Hopper: zodiac sign and birth chart
Jim Hopper has no canon birthday. The show never gives one. Read from his personality, he's a Taurus: stubborn, loyal, devoted to his coffee and very slow to change his mind. Capricorn Moon, rising and Mars supply the badge, the dry humor and a rule that a bedroom door stays open exactly three inches.

NEBO's take
No birthday in canon. His personality says Taurus.
We ran Hopper 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 earth first: solid, stubborn and softer than he lets on.

CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeTaurus
Taurus digs in. Hopper has his coffee, his chair and his routine, and nothing moves him until a missing kid forces it.
- Moon
CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeCapricorn
A Capricorn Moon locks pain away and gets on with the job. The loss of his daughter Sara explains the beer and the shrug.
- Rising
CanonNo birth timeNEBO's takeCapricorn
No birth time in canon. First impression: a rumpled chief in a trailer, half asleep, with zero urgency about the day.
- Mercury

Taurus Mercury speaks slowly and plainly. His house rule for Mike is exact: the bedroom door stays open three inches.
- Venus CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeNo clear pick
- Mars
CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeCapricorn
Capricorn Mars works the job. He breaks into Hawkins Lab for Will with nobody's permission.
What canon does give: a cop who hides grief behind coffee and sarcasm, and a dad who learns on the job. A Taurus answer is to dig in and keep the people who matter close.
How he shows up
Why he's like this
Taurus is the sign of stubbornness, loyalty and comfort. Hopper hits every one of them, in scenes fans know by heart.
CoreTaurus Sun
Not two inches, not four
He tells Mike the bedroom door stays open three inches whenever El is in there. Not two, not four. He means exactly three.
Season 3
First impressionCapricorn rising
Rumpled, unhurried
The first time we see him, Hopper is half asleep in his trailer with a hangover. Then he goes to work as if nothing is wrong, and it's Will's case.
Season 1, episode 1
FeelingsCapricorn Moon
Grief under routine
He drinks coffee, ignores the calls and shrugs everything off. Then it comes out that he lost his little daughter Sara, and the whole man makes sense.
Season 1
In a fightMars in Capricorn
Goes in alone
The town won't look for Will, so Hopper breaks into Hawkins Lab himself, one man against a government facility.
Season 1
MindMercury in Taurus
Few words, all of them true
Hopper writes a short, plain letter to Eleven. Eleven finds it and reads it, and nobody who hears it stays dry.
