Bella Swan: zodiac sign and birth chart

Bella Swan is a Virgo, born on September 13, 1987. The day is in the books: her 18th birthday party is where New Moon starts. Virgo fits the girl who takes over Charlie's kitchen within days and works out what the Cullens are from small details nobody else bothered to notice.

NEBO's take

Canon says Virgo. Our model says Scorpio.

We ran Bella through the same model that matches people to characters in the app, and looked at which chart gets her most often. It reads her as water first: Scorpio Sun, Venus and Mars, a Cancer Moon and Aries rising. Quiet on the surface, all in underneath.

NEBO's take

Scorpio SunRead from her personality
  • Sun CanonVirgoNEBO's takeScorpio

    Canon's Virgo is the girl who cooks dinner and watches for details. Scorpio is the one who jumps off a cliff at La Push in New Moon because the feeling is worth the risk.

  • Moon CanonGeminiNEBO's takeCancer

    Canon's Gemini keeps two versions of the truth going at once, one for Charlie and one for the Cullens. Our Cancer is the girl who sits at her window for months in New Moon while the seasons change.

  • Rising CanonNo birth timeNEBO's takeAries

    No birth time in canon. First impression, Aries style: the new girl who tells everyone to call her Bella, not Isabella, and rolls up in a truck louder than she is.

  • Mercury CanonLibraNEBO's takePisces

    Libra weighs both sides before deciding, and she spends all of Eclipse doing it. Our Pisces is the dreamer who talks in her sleep and says Edward's name.

  • Venus CanonVirgoNEBO's takeScorpio

    Canon's Virgo shows love through small practical care, like fixing bikes next to Jacob for a whole winter. Scorpio loves with no safety net, and the meadow in Twilight shows it.

  • Mars CanonVirgoNEBO's takeScorpio

    Virgo Mars acts on a plan, even a bad one: the Phoenix airport escape. Scorpio Mars just doesn't quit once she has decided.

Where we agree: both charts do the thinking in private. Canon's Virgo fixes and plans without a fuss. Our Scorpio keeps it all inside, then does the one thing nobody saw coming.

How she shows up

Why she's like this

Virgo is the sign of practical care, sharp eyes and quiet competence. Bella hits every one of them, in scenes fans know by heart.

  • CoreVirgo Sun

    Takes over the kitchen

    Charlie's idea of dinner is fried fish and eggs. Within days of arriving in Forks, Bella is doing the grocery shopping and cooking for both of them.

    Twilight, book

  • CoreVirgo Sun

    Notices what doesn't add up

    The Cullens' eyes change color, nobody ever eats at their lunch table, and Edward's skin is cold and hard. She files every detail, then checks them against the stories Jacob told on the beach.

    Twilight, book

  • FeelingsGemini Moon

    Two versions of the truth

    After Tyler's van skids across the ice, she tells Charlie and the hospital staff a story that leaves out the part where Edward stopped a van with his hands.

    Twilight, book

  • MindMercury in Libra

    Weighs both sides

    Edward on one side, Jacob on the other. She refuses to pick for most of the book, and when she finally says out loud what she feels, she has thought it through for months.

    Eclipse, book

  • LoveVenus in Virgo

    Love as practical care

    In the worst winter of her life she spends her afternoons in Jacob's garage, handing him tools while they rebuild two old motorbikes. Fixing something with her hands is what keeps her going.

    New Moon, book and film

  • In a fightMars in Virgo

    A plan, however reckless

    Told to stay hidden from James, she tells Alice and Jasper she's heading to the restroom at the Phoenix airport. She slips out another exit and takes a taxi to the ballet studio, alone.
