what do you think are the vampire chronicles characters’s horoscope signs?

I’m sorry to say that I’m not knowledgeable re: horoscope signs… I can link you to a post where @luthiluthi sorted a lot of them, so check that out…

Canonically, we have Word of God from the author re: birthdays for 3 of them:

  • Lestat’s birthday is November 7, the birthday of Anne Rice’s late husband Stan (whom she partially modeled Lestat after).
  • Louis’ birthday is October 4, which is Anne’s birthday.
  • Claudia mentions her birthday in her diary (in QOTD) as being September 21, but she’s not sure if that’s really her birthday and her dads won’t explain it further (it’s probably the day she was turned, given the context of the diary entry). That’s Michele Rice’s birthday, Anne’s late daughter.

So that means (according to astrology-zodiac-signs.com, idk if it’s authoritative):

  • Lestat’s a Scorpio – the most lusty/sexual sign, brave, passionate, stubborn, violent, jealous, secretive, resentful, manipulative ✓YEP
  • Louis is a Libra – the scales, justice, contemplative, Cooperative,diplomatic, gracious, fair-minded, social, Indecisive, avoids confrontations, will carry a grudge, self-pity ✓YEP
  • Claudia is a Virgo – a virgin, strong, practical, detail-oriented ✓YEP

There’s fanon that Armand’s birthday is Nov. 11 (@auburnandamberangel posted about it last yr, but I think it’s a fanon thing as well), and I like that it would be that close to Lestat’s on the calendar, another source of contention between them, that they’d share the same zodiac sign >;}

Armand WOULD HATE following Lestat on the calendar, like, c’mon, Lestat would throw a HUGE BALL for himself (you KNOW he would), and then like 4 days later, Armand wants to have a big party… and everyone is like… ~Meh we just HAD one~… (They all went home already)(poor Armsy ;A;) 

So Louis suggests to Lestat that he share! And have a bday party for both of them in between, on like 11/9. And Lestat is all pouty like “WHY SHOULD I SHARE WHEN MINES FIRST?? 11/9 WILL BE TOO LATE FOR MINE”

^it’s a source of contention.

Anyone is welcome to add their thoughts, tho!

Birthday Armand for resident cool kid @theraphaellus!!
Their request was too cute to pass up… Armand in a Moomins shirt ❤

I don’t remember Armand’s birthday ever being mentioned in the books. Did Anne Rice ever mention it, or did you choose it? If so, was there a reason you chose November 11?

[I read the books when I was 15/16, meaning that it’s been almost 4 years. I’m rereading Vampire Armand again for rping purposes and past the middle it hasn’t been mentioned yet. However, this is the date I got from more than one wiki page and since I didn’t have a specific date in mind I decided to stick with it. Anne Rice might have mentioned it in an interview, perhaps? I’m afraid I won’t be able to assure you that.

//The really weird thing is that I have Armand’s birthday as November 11th too, and I HAVE NO IDEA WHY. I guess it was from the same online page you looked at, but I really can’t remember what it was or when it was… or anything.

//I wonder if comes from the official calendar? Which was released god only remembers when but it listed a lot of their birthdays (I don’t think Daniel was included). A lot people were like “UGH NO DISAGREE” but it exists somewhere, so maybe this is where people are getting that date? 

//there’s a calendar?! Also wow I’ve headcanoned that he was born in November for like ages but only because I thought he should be Scorpio >>. Nov 11th headcanon accepted. 😀

I like that it’s a few days after Lestat’s. Just ONE MORE WAY Lestat steals the spotlight from Armand… just by existing.

whens armands bday?

Who knows? Does Armand himself know? Had Marius came up with some date as well as with the name? 
Fandom (at least part of it), as it seems, picked 11th November and celebrates it in RP. 

//I believe, as with Lestat’s bday and Louis’, it’s a thing AR stated somewhere.
Anyway, those are interesting questions. Armand probably would not know, specially because kids bdays were pretty much not a thing, so it’s unlikely the date was important in any way. On the other hand, with how much people liked astrology in Venice it’s possible they had picked a day for him? (Maybe Bianca did it xD) Maybe Marius would have liked to celebrate the boys bdays somehow? Interesting to consider.

…and it would also aggravate Armand to no end that everyone tends to make such a big deal for Lestat’s birthday 4 nights before his bc otherwise the Brat Prince throws a royal tantrum. The one-upmanship never ends.
