Will Byers: zodiac sign and birth chart
Will Byers is an Aries, born on March 22, 1971. The quietest kid in the Party has a fire sign on top, and the Duffer brothers confirmed the date. Moon and Venus in Aquarius, Mars in Capricorn. That is a boy who vanishes into a drawing and can survive alone in the dark.

NEBO's take
Canon says Aries. Our model says Pisces.
We ran Will 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 sensitive one who feels the dark coming before anyone else does.

CanonAriesNEBO's takePisces
Canon gives him the Aries fire: when the Party moves on, quiet Will is the one who snaps for one more campaign. Pisces is the kid who feels the dark coming.
- Moon
CanonAquariusNEBO's takePisces
Canon's Aquarius Moon sees what others miss, and draws it: the shadow over Hawkins. Our Pisces simply soaks up everyone's mood.
- Rising
CanonNo birth timeNEBO's takeCancer
No birth time in canon. First impression: a soft-spoken boy with a sketchbook, hanging back and watching the room.
- Mercury
CanonAriesNEBO's takeAquarius
Canon's Aries says it straight, even when nobody believes him: the Upside Down never left. Our Aquarius thinks sideways and puts it on paper.
- Venus
CanonAquariusNEBO's takePisces
Aquarius loves its friends in its own odd way. In the campaign he plays Will the Wise, the cleric who heals everybody else.
- Mars
CanonCapricornNEBO's takePisces
Capricorn Mars endures. Alone in the Upside Down, he hides in a twisted copy of his own fort and keeps going.
Where we agree: both charts run on feeling. Canon's Aries acts on it at once, our Pisces just knows it before the others do.
How he shows up
Why he's like this
Aries is the sign of courage, a short fuse and not backing down. Will hits every one of them, in scenes fans know by heart, and the quiet is only the surface.
CoreAries Sun
Quiet, until he isn't
The others have moved on to girls and arcades. Will wants one more campaign in the basement, and when Mike won't play, the gentlest kid in the Party finally loses his temper.
Season 3
FeelingsAquarius Moon
Draws what no one else sees
Will draws the shadow monster over Hawkins again and again, until the drawings turn out to be a map of the tunnels under the town.
Season 2
MindMercury in Aries
Says it, even unbelieved
He tells his friends the Upside Down never really let him go, and that he feels it as a chill on the back of his neck.
Season 2
LoveVenus in Aquarius
The one who heals the group
At the table in Mike's basement he plays Will the Wise, the cleric who heals everyone else. It's how he shows he cares.
Season 1

Survives alone
While Hawkins searches for him, Will hides in the Upside Down's twisted copy of Castle Byers, his fort in the woods, and holds on for days.
