Leonard Hofstadter: zodiac sign and birth chart
Leonard Hofstadter has no canon birthday. The show never states one, so his chart is NEBO's take, read from personality. He's a Virgo: Sun, Mercury, Venus and Mars all in the sign of the guy who quietly fixes things for everyone. A Pisces Moon is the soft part he hides behind the cello.

NEBO's take
No birthday in canon. His personality says Virgo.
We ran Leonard 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: helpful, careful and always doing a bit more than his share.
Canon

Virgo SunRead from his personality- Sun
CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeVirgo
Virgo helps in practical ways. Leonard drives Sheldon to the university every day, and when he's had enough, he quietly stretches an experiment instead of saying no.
- Moon
CanonNot in canonNEBO's takePisces
Pisces Moon feels everything and hides it. He storms over to yell at Penny, realizes he's wrong, and ends up comforting her instead.
- Rising
CanonNo birth timeNEBO's takeTaurus
No birth time in canon. First impression, Taurus style: warm, steady and keen to feed you. His first move on meeting Penny is to invite her over for Indian food.
- Mercury
CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeVirgo
Virgo Mercury gets the details right and speaks up when it counts. He pulls a conference invitation out of the trash and presents the research, whatever Sheldon says.
- Venus
CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeVirgo
Virgo shows love through effort. He walks into her ex's place to get Penny's TV back, and comes home without the TV or his pants.
- Mars
CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeVirgo
Virgo Mars plans the logistics. When Penny thinks his dinner invitation is a group outing, he works out excuses for why each of the guys can't come.
What canon does give: the guy who drives Sheldon to work, translates Sheldon for everyone else and keeps the peace. Virgo answers it with service, and the Pisces Moon is why it stings when nobody says thanks.

Everyone's driver
He drives Sheldon to the university every day. When his night experiment ends early, he hides it for a week so he doesn't have to keep driving.
