Professor X (Charles Xavier): zodiac sign and birth chart
Professor X has no canon birthday. Marvel never gives one, and the comics, the animated series and the Fox films each retell his story their own way. Read from his personality, he's a Cancer: the telepath who turns a mansion into a home, takes strays in and keeps showing up for the friend who walked away. Pisces Mars is why he reaches for words before a fist.

NEBO's take
No birthday in canon. His personality says Cancer.
We ran Professor X 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 water first: a mind that feels other minds, a house full of people to look after and a dream he won't drop.

No birth time in canon. First impression: a calm voice in the study, offering Logan a place at the school and help finding out who he is.
- Mercury
CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeCancer
Cancer Mercury talks from the heart. His telepathy is conversation with the volume off, and Cerebro lets him reach mutants all over the world.
- Venus
CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeCancer
Cancer Venus holds on. Charles keeps visiting Magneto, his old friend, however many times they fall out.
- Mars
CanonNot in canonNEBO's takePisces
Pisces picks a fight last. His war with Magneto is an argument he keeps trying to win with words, even when the other side wears a helmet.
What canon does give: a dream, a school and a best friend who disagrees with him. A Cancer Sun turns the dream into a home, with the door open for students and for the friend who left.
How he shows up
Why he's like this
Cancer is the sign of home, care and loyalty to your own people. Professor X builds a school that works like a house, takes strays in and stays loyal to an old friend, in scenes fans know.
