Probable Sign & Blood Type:

Along with Trowa's age, other mysterious topics that have popped up are his astrological sign and blood type. Legit sources to where this information came from often is never addressed. At best, rumors usually point to a mysterious person part of the production of Gundam Wing reporting such precious info in magazines or radio shows.

Some fans believe for fact that Trowa's astrological sign to be Aries due to an unofficial Japanese art book that is never identified. A few other places noted predictions of him being a Capricorn, again with no source provided. Lastly, the website NationMaster.com lists his birth date to be July 22, AC 178 which would be the cusp between a Cancer and a Leo. There are no references to where this information was obtained.

His blood type meanwhile has remained unanimous. He is said to be bloodtype AB on some fan pages. Usually there is note that he is a "perfect" fit for the AB blood typology. Perhaps it is his blood type, I mean if anything his blood type, if brought up and checked through tests will undeniably be A, B, AB or O. Nevertheless, the websites claiming this never were able to provide a source.

Fascinatingly enough, I finally found the elusive source. It is found in Rappport Deluxe's Gundam W Character Collection book. It was published on November 25, 1995. On page 65 there is an article titled "Gundam Fictional Love Horoscope & Blood Type Fortune-Telling. The following is what is provided for Trowa:

Capricorn
Blood Type AB
Trowa Barton

Quiet, cool, and sharp. The image of someone who works alone and independently is exactly that of a Capricorn with blood type AB. They rarely reveal their true feelings. Even when they need help, they can't be honest and may stubbornly refuse it. However, they are weak to sincere feelings and may occasionally open up.

As interesting as this finding is, it is not official. The reason? Astrological signs and bloodtypes are addressed nowhere else. In the front of the book you have pages dedicated to the main characters with their usual statistics from name, age, sex, height, weight, eye color and hair color. In all the other books regarding the main Gundam Wing characters there are no mentioning of astrological signs or bloodtypes in the character data.
