Jor-El: zodiac sign and birth chart
Jor-El has no canon birthday. No comic, film or series gives one. Read from his personality, he's a Pisces: Sun, Moon and Venus in the same sign, the scientist who knew Krypton was doomed and did the one thing a father can do. A Cancer rising and Mars make him protective, and Aquarius Mercury is the mind that thinks across centuries.

NEBO's take
No birthday in canon. His personality says Pisces.
We ran Jor-El 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: protective, thoughtful and ready to give up everything for his child.

Pisces gives everything away. When the planet is doomed, Jor-El and Lara build a rocket for their baby son.
- Moon

Pisces Moon trusts what others can't see. He knows Krypton's core is unstable long before the council believes it.
- Rising
CanonNo birth timeNEBO's takeCancer
No birth time in canon. First impression: calm, careful and fatherly, even when the world is ending.
- Mercury
CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeAquarius
Aquarius Mercury sends ideas across time. In 1978 his recorded voice teaches his son for years, the father speaking across the decades.
- Venus
CanonNot in canonNEBO's takePisces
Pisces Venus loves without limits. Jor-El and Lara send their only son away from a dying planet, to a world they will never see.
- Mars
CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeCancer
Cancer Mars protects fiercely. In Man of Steel he takes the Codex of Krypton and hides it where only his son can carry it.
What canon does give: Krypton's greatest scientist, who can't convince anyone his planet is dying. A Pisces answer is to stop arguing and save the one person he can.
How he shows up
Why he's like this
