Darth Vader: zodiac sign and birth chart
Darth Vader has no canon birthday. Star Wars counts years from the Battle of Yavin, and no film or series gives him a date, not even for the man he was before the armor. Read from his personality, he's a Leo: Sun and Moon in the sign of pride, presence and an entrance nobody forgets. Libra rising adds the poise, and Virgo the cold eye for detail.

NEBO's take
No birthday in canon. His personality says Leo.
We ran Vader 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 fire first: a man who walks into a room and owns it, with a pride that has never healed.

Leo takes the stage. Vader's first scene is a walk through the smoke of a boarding corridor, and every rebel in the room goes quiet.
- Moon
CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeLeo
A Leo Moon needs something to be proud of. In Return of the Jedi it's his son's life that makes him turn on the Emperor.
- Rising
CanonNo birth timeNEBO's takeLibra
No birth time in canon. First impression: slow, mechanical breathing and a voice that never has to rise, questioning a princess as if it were a formality.
- Mercury
CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeVirgo
Virgo Mercury wants it done right. A captain who lost the Falcon comes to apologize, and gets "Apology accepted" in reply.
- Venus
CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeVirgo
Virgo Venus tries to fix what it loves. In The Empire Strikes Back he offers Luke a place beside him, to rule the galaxy as father and son.
- Mars
CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeGemini
Gemini Mars is fast on its feet. In Rogue One he cuts through a corridor of rebels in seconds, lightsaber lit, to get the plans back.
What canon does give: a Sith Lord who answers only to the Emperor and expects perfection from everyone below him. A Leo answer is to rule by presence, and the Virgo streak is why failing him is never forgiven.
How he shows up
Why he's like this
Leo is the sign of pride, command and presence. Vader hits every one of them, in scenes fans know by heart.
CoreLeo Sun
The entrance
He steps onto the rebel ship through the smoke, black armor and mechanical breath filling the corridor, and nobody on either side doubts who runs the room.
A New Hope
First impressionLibra rising
Never raises his voice
Facing the captured princess, he doesn't rant or shout. He tells her not to act so surprised, and the calm does the rest.
A New Hope
MindMercury in Virgo
Failure is not forgiven
Captain Needa loses the Falcon and comes to apologize in person. Vader accepts the apology, and that is the last thing Needa hears.

On Cloud City he tells Luke he is his father, and offers to rule the galaxy beside him. It's the worst version of caring.

Fast and deadly
Rebels pass the Death Star plans along a corridor. Vader cuts through them in seconds, lightsaber lit, and reaches for the plans.
