Celebrity zodiac signs and birth charts, checked against the record

How we check a celebrity chart

Most celebrity chart pages repeat each other. A birth time appears on one site, gets copied to ten more, and within a year it reads as fact. We work the other way round and start from what can be checked.

The Sun sign needs only a birthday. Birth dates come from Encyclopaedia Britannica and Wikipedia. The one catch is the day the Sun changes sign: people born a few hours apart on that day have different signs, so we compute where the Sun was hour by hour and say so when it matters. That is why Selena Gomez, born on the day the Sun moved from Cancer into Leo, is listed with both.

The Moon changes sign every two and a half days. On most birthdays it stays in one sign from midnight to midnight, and then the Moon sign is certain whatever the birth time. When it changes sign during the day, the answer depends on the hour. Zendaya is the textbook case: the Moon left Aries at about 5:20 in the morning on her birthday, and her recorded birth time is in the evening, so her Moon is in Taurus even though older charts say Aries.

The rising sign needs a reliable birth time. We take birth times from Astro-Databank, the archive astrologers use, and we show its Rodden rating next to every time. AA means a birth certificate or birth record. A means the person or their family gave the time from memory. B comes from a biography. C and DD mean the source is unknown or the reports conflict. We state a rising sign for AA and A, and explain the situation for everything else.

Planet positions are computed, not copied. Sun, Moon, Venus and Mars signs come from NASA's JPL Horizons ephemeris for the birth date and place, and we cross-check the result against Astro-Databank's own chart.

What "into astrology" means here

It means the person has said so, in an interview or a post of their own, and we link the source. A zodiac lyric, a tattoo of a sign or a product named after a birthday month is filed separately as "mentions the sign". If we found nothing, the page says we found nothing. Nobody on these pages is affiliated with AstraLink or endorses it.

Your chart has the same parts

The reason celebrity charts are fun is that they make the parts of a chart easy to see: the Sun for identity, the Moon for feeling, the rising sign for first impressions, Venus for how someone loves. Yours has the same parts, and you have something most of these pages lack, which is your own birth time.
