Howard Wolowitz: zodiac sign and birth chart
Howard Wolowitz has no canon birthday. The show never states one, so his chart is NEBO's take, read from personality. He's an Aries: the guy who tries a pickup line on Penny within minutes of meeting her and has no fear of rejection. Pisces Venus is why he turns out to be a hopeless romantic.

NEBO's take
No birthday in canon. His personality says Aries.
We ran Howard 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: loud, quick off the mark and always one line too far.

Aries goes first and thinks later. He tries to hit on Penny within minutes of meeting her, while she's wrapped in a towel.

Sagittarius Moon wants the far horizon. Howard hears he's going to the International Space Station, and he's ecstatic.
- Rising

No birth time in canon. First impression, Sagittarius rising: big promises. He invites a woman he just met to drive the Mars rover.
- Mercury
CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeAries
Aries Mercury has quick hands and a quick mouth. He shows a card trick so smooth that Sheldon goes crazy trying to crack it.
- Venus
CanonNot in canonNEBO's takePisces
Pisces Venus is the romantic under the swagger. After three dates he proposes to Bernadette, she says it's too soon, and he wins her back with a cheesy love song.
- Mars
CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeGemini
Gemini Mars improvises. His plan to impress a date at JPL ends with the rover stuck in a ditch, so he destroys the security tapes.
What canon does give: an engineer with a master's degree, a turtleneck and a mother who yells from the next room. Aries answers it with confidence first and consequences later.
How he shows up
Why he's like this
Aries is the sign of the first move: bold, impatient and fun to watch. Howard hits every one of them, in scenes fans know by heart.

Penny walks in wrapped in a towel to meet the guys, and Howard tries to hit on her on the spot. Raj, next to him, can't say a word.

Season 2, "The Lizard-Spock Expansion"
MindMercury in Aries
Quick hands, quick mouth
He does a card trick where the volunteer picks a card, the deck is shuffled, and he names it. Sheldon becomes obsessed. It was a prank all along, with Raj and Penny in on it.
