Mike Wheeler: zodiac sign and birth chart
Mike Wheeler has no canon birthday. The show never gives one. Read from his personality, he's a Cancer: Sun, Moon, rising and Mercury all in the sign of the one who takes care of everybody. He hides a girl in his basement, then calls her on a walkie-talkie every day for almost a year. He does the loving out loud, too.

NEBO's take
No birthday in canon. His personality says Cancer.
We ran Mike 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 water first: the kid who feels everything and holds the group together.

Cancer protects its own. Mike takes in a girl he found in the woods, feeds her and keeps her secret from his mom.
- Moon

A Cancer Moon holds on. When El disappears, he keeps calling her on the radio every single day, with no answer.
- Rising

No birth time in canon. First impression: the Dungeon Master at the head of the table in his basement, running the campaign for the whole Party.
- Mercury

Cancer Mercury argues from the heart. Lucas wants to treat El as a risk, and Mike answers that she's one of them.
- Venus CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeNo clear pick
- Mars
CanonNot in canonNEBO's takePisces
Pisces Mars fights for other people, not for himself. To keep El hidden, he puts himself in front of every adult who asks questions.
What canon does give: a Dungeon Master who plans for everyone and panics out loud when somebody is missing. A Cancer answer is to build the fort and guard the people inside it.
