Elijah Mikaelson: zodiac sign and birth chart
Elijah Mikaelson has no canon birthday. He was born over a thousand years ago and the series never gives a date, so his chart is read from his personality. He's an Aries: Sun, rising and Venus. The Original in a perfect suit who speaks as if every word is a contract, and keeps every one. A Libra Moon wants peace in the family, and he picks each word with care.

NEBO's take
No birthday in canon. His personality says Aries.
We ran Elijah 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 under a very good suit: calm on the surface, with a hard line on what is right.

Aries acts on principle. Elijah is calm about it, but once he decides something is right, nothing moves him.

No birth time in canon. First impression: perfect suit, steady voice, a polite smile that makes the room pay attention.

Aries Venus loves directly and for real. When he cares, he says so, and acts.
- Mars

Cancer Mars protects family at any cost, even a brother who makes it hard.
What canon does give: the most formal of the Originals, who treats his word as law. Aries answers that with someone who acts on principle and won't be moved once he decides.
