In the story "Charmed Strife" from Scooby-Doo! Mystery Comics #21 (October 1973) reveals the gang's birth signs to be Shaggy as a Leo (July 23 - August 22), Fred as a Pisces (February 19 - March 20), Velma as a Virgo (August 23 - September 22), Daphne as a Gemini (May 21 - June 20) and Scooby as an Aries (March 21 - April 19). Scooby also reveals he was born in April later on in the comic. Interestingly, in the episode "Happy Birthday, Scooby-Doo" (an episode centered around Scooby's birthday), Scooby holds up a calendar which mentions his birthday is on Saturday the 7th. Coincidentally in 1984, the year the episode aired, April 7 was on a Saturday, which aligns perfectly with what the comic states his birthday is. Credit for finding all the images as well as noticing this fun fact goes to Samuel Kirkwood.

Wow, that's incredible!!!! So Scooby's actual birthday is on April 7 and not September 13? I guess 9/13 is a franchise birthday and Scooby's birthday as a character is in April. Sweet!!! :D

I read this comic, then decided to investigate on google into Scooby Doo's actual birthdate, but, and I'm astonished as you are by this, the only information I found was that screenshot from the episode Happy Birthday Scooby Doo and then saw when April 7th fell that year, it was eerie.

It is pretty shocking that they haven't revealed any character birth dates considering how long the franchise has run. Daphne's BCSD birth date technically contradicts this comic (as Gemini is May 21-June 20), though Jon Colton Barry (the head writer) has said he hasn't watched or read all that much Scooby content, so I'm sure the contradiction there was unintentional. Well that and I'm sure they just made up a random month or whatever to go with the plot of that particular comic, not intending for it to stick as any of the gang's official birth signs/months.
