The only accurate part of this will be their canon birthdays. Hypothetically, the younger characters were all 19 in 2021, which was when the manga ended. Making them born in 2002, in Nordlingen Germany (the location inpso for AOT). As well as a shared Saturn in Gemini, Jupiter in Cancer, & other outer planets. Spoilers ahead-all seasons
Disclaimer: I am not blending or meshing Vedic and Tropical astrology. I will treat them as completely separate systems.
Tropical: Cancer ↑ Aries ☉ + ☿ Scorpio ☾ Taurus ♂ Aries ♀
8th house in Aquarius brings intense transformation or trauma within big groups. It'd be an understatement to say Eren was transformative to the groups & societies he interacted with. Marley & the world at large. 80% of it to be specific. The Survey Corps was always battling the same old titans, until Eren arrived, where they witnessed their very own soldier turned into a titan.
Aries sun grants a good self-esteem, as Aries exalts the planet. He was abrasive as a child but he wears an understated confidence in the later season. This sun sits in the 10th. Showcasing how he is forced to grow up quickly & become the authority in his life.
Saturn in the 12th shows the loss of a father figure or any distance to the main authority (his mom). Restriction comes unbeknownst to him. His fate was never in his own hands. Always locked up. Kidnapped. Spiritual warfare. Mental health struggles he cannot voice because he thinks no one would understand.
Aries Venus: Detriment venus. He's not doing so great in the love department. Bad with compromise. Likes rebellion, especially in others. Too focused on achieving his goal. A physically fit & active person. His charm does not land softly like the Domicile Taurus. It is fiery & bites if you're too sensitive to handle it. 10th house Venus indicates being with a partner who is respected or at the top. Both Mikasa Ackerman & Armin Arlet, Eren's best friends (soulmates), were the top their class alongside him. Armin would later become the Commander of the Survey Corps, & Mikasa the strongest squad member.
Aries Mercury: Foot in mouth syndrome. Talks a big game & backs it up. Blunt. Fiesty & motivating speech. 10th house as well.
I headcanon a Pisces venus for him, which is an exaltation of the planet, as it would explain why watchers are head-over-heels. Then, I realized his Venus being in the 10th makes sense, as this denotes an individual who is seen in a good-light despite their wrongdoings. Trendy too. After the 4th season aired, his man-bun was copied, even by celebs and influencers.
Scorpio Moon: Moon is in its fall. Scorpio in this planet shows an intense/painful attachment to the mother. Being in the 5th house, shows how he was deprived of childhood's joy, while using his inner-child to fuel his vengeance.
The 10th house indicates an involvement in politics, which exemplifies the themes of Oppression and Power in the series.
Taurus Mars: Robust physique. Fixed. Enduring. Eren displays great stamina & lasts the longest in his titan form. This is a placement of prodigies due to the type of rigorous turning they grow through. In the 11th house. All the squad members cherished one another, but the high stakes made it "survival of the fittest."
Cancer rising: Highly perceptive. Sensitive exterior. A deep love & over-protection for his loved ones. Sometimes, these people are babied & victimized by others. Fans be like, "My sweet boy. He deserved better." Meanwhile Eren:
Vedic: Ardra ↑ Uttara Bhadrapada ☉ + ☿ Swati ☾ Bharani ♂ Ashwini ♀
The nickname, 'Devil of Paradis' is fitting for him as this mirrors how Rahu Nakshatras are often scapegoated for being anti-establishment. Ardra's deity is the Storm-God, Rudra who takes on the form of Lord Shiva, symbolized by a tear drop. Eren is that destroyer & cleanser. He questions systems, bluntly calls out people's bluffs, & is fatally condemned to carry the show's intensity on his back, like the god Atlas shoulders the burden of the Heavens & Earth.
Isayama, the writer & illustrator of the manga, stated that Eren's original eyes are icy-gray blue. Wit Studio just made a choice to change them to a vibrant emerald-green. Nonetheless, his brooding eyes are a defining feature. Much like the glistening diamonds that Ardra natives possess.
Eren is self-destructive. Rahu represents sudden change. When he disappears in Marley to devise a plan for the rumbling in isolation, he goes to extremely violent lengths to alter his appearance. He destroys himself as punishment. Time & time again he displays sudden mood changes (the duality of Gemini) that result in a mess for others to clean up.
He's also got that messy/unkempt hair that only an Ardra could bare. It is accepted by fans that Eren's mental state is illustrated by the lack of hair maintenance. Even though he is the 2nd cleanest character after Levi, that one flaw exposes his interior.
@entryintostratosphere has a great analysis about the nakshatra being found in historical events where human experimentation took place. Eren is both the victim & aggressor in this generational curse of Titan Shifters.
Jupiter on the ascendent reveals how much luck & optimism played a factor in his survival in the earlier season. In season 1-2, he maintained hope for a better future & an inner knowing that his plans would work out. This is what inspired many of his peers to join his fight.
Ardra is called the Star of Tragedy, & the series definitely plays out like a Tragedy. Not just his fate, but the relationship to Mikasa.
The official introductory scene is him waking up in tears:
Swati's diety is Vayu, the God of Wind. There is something very fleeting about Eren. His main philosophy in life is "Freedom". He believes it to be a birth right & will gladly break down anything that stifles that. Libra makes for an individual who seeks equality & justice. And what is more just than the pursuit for autonomy? Eren initially makes it his life's mission to destroy those who stripped his family of it, until he learns a dark truth. A system was already in place to keep everyone bound to titans..bound to something.
Uttara Bhadrapada Sun + Mercury
The Sanskrit name is उत्तरभाद्रपद meaning, latter (उत्तर) & auspicious (भद्र).
This nakshatra is symbolized by the back legs of a funeral cot. In some texts, referred to as the "Warrior Star."
The saturnian burden is apparent in him from the first episode to the finale. As he not only faces death through the events around him, but constantly contemplates the mortality.
The naive arrogance he possessed as child melts away as he ages. Eren becomes distant. Foggier. Immovable. Cold. Not the absence of emotion but the presence of too many. The depths of his psyche drown him as he leaves a puddles of bloodshed in every corner of the Earth during The Rumbling. An unforgivable act he was obligated to by another imprisoned mind.
Eren tells himself that his actions are for the preservation of his loved ones, or the generations to come. But his legend still leaves a poisonous aftertaste in humanity. An aftertaste only the Jaegerists are brazen enough to withstand.
Remember what I mentioned above about his blunt communication? Vedic astrology proves to be more true again as that trait is attributed to his saturnian mercury. In one the episodes he critiques his squad member, Historia quite harshly. Simply putting that her fake, goody too-shoes act was repulsive to him, and he appreciated her newfound authenticity & leadership. She battles a similar Saturnian burden, but more cruelly (we will dig into soon). It was rude, but needed. Saturn takes away what lacks substance so you can learn to cultivate resources & a way of existing that is sturdy in its foundation.
Ashwini Venus & Bharani Mars
Firstly, the significant of horses. Secondly, the locks on that man!! I knew my suspicions towards a horse yoni placement for him was present when I made a headcanon for a Shatabhisha Venus. But the Emo Ketu influenced venus made more sense. Ashwini is the first sign, whose deity is Ashwini Kumaras, horse-headed twin Gods. Eren is meant to represent the birth & end of the titan cycle, ushering in a new beginning for the world. A boundary-breaker who just goes about it in a really messed up way to be frank.
Another cool note to add is the similarity between his Ashwini & Ardra placements in the appearance of his eyes. The prominence of their unique icy color. Image source: Claire Nakti
Bharani's yoni animal is an elephant. How fitting as Eren clearly holds grudges until the end of time...
Kidding. His skewed view on freedom is what lingers. The grudges are past him after he matures by understanding how the true enemies are not titans, nor humans but indoctrination & history repeating itself.
The deity is Yama, the God of Death. Alongside the symbolism of death found in Uttarabhadrapada, which deals more with the afterlife, we see Eren's violence in the Bharani Mars. An Aries Mars right at home, leading itself to victory after every battle.
Aries conjunction between Venus and Mars is the perfect recipe for an intense person/lover. Mikasa is lucky she is Martian women, because she is the only one who can tame him (we'll discuss her Dhanishtha sun in part 2).
There have been fan-castings for Eren's live-action actor. Almost all of them are Bharani, Ashwini, Ardra, & UBP men. From Lorenzo Zurzolo, Miles Mcmillan, to young Hayden Christensen. Recently, a young Vincent Kartheiser.
Eren also bites his hand when he transforms into a titan. This matches his combination of Ardra (gemini) ruling the limbs, & Bharani (the elephant tusks symbolizing the teeth).
➴ I discovered that Isayama has his natal Rahu in Revati (pisces degrees) which is super cool since he wrote such a Pisces-heavy story & character.
➴ That's all from me dears! Can you tell he's my favorite character? I could go on and on and on. Do you see Cancer/Gemini rising? Some people think he's a Scorpio or Aries. I dunno looks like a moody gemini to me. In another life he was in a rock band...
Should I continue with a part 2 or do you have any character requests? I'm thinking of doing Jujutsu Kaisen's Gojo & Geto. - Sunny☀︎
