Jonathan Kent: zodiac sign and birth chart

Jonathan Kent has no canon birthday. No version of Superman gives him one. Read from his personality, he's a Taurus: Sun, Moon, rising, Mercury and Mars all in the same sign, the Kansas farmer who doesn't say much and doesn't need to. He shows love in practical ways: advice, work and a kitchen table.

NEBO's take

No birthday in canon. His personality says Taurus.

We ran Jonathan 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: steady, stubborn and loyal to the bone.

NEBO's take

Taurus SunRead from his personality
  • Sun CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeTaurus

    Taurus is steady and slow to panic. In Man of Steel, when Clark asks if he should have let the bus kids die, Jonathan answers with one calm word: maybe.

  • Moon CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeTaurus

    Taurus Moon needs calm. The 1978 Kents take in a boy who lifts a truck, and don't make a drama of it.

  • Rising CanonNo birth timeNEBO's takeTaurus

    No birth time in canon. First impression: dirt on his hands, a slow smile and no hurry in his voice.

  • Mercury CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeTaurus

    Taurus Mercury says little and means all of it. In 1978 he tells Clark he's here for a reason, and that it isn't to score touchdowns.

  • Venus CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeNo clear pick

  • Mars CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeTaurus

    Taurus Mars digs in and doesn't move. In Man of Steel, when it matters most, he holds the line for what he believes.

What canon does give: a farmer who raised an alien boy and taught him right from wrong. A Taurus answer is to teach it by showing up every day, not by giving speeches.
