Kim Kardashian's zodiac sign and birth chart: a Libra Sun, Venus in Virgo, Mars in Sagittarius

What is Kim Kardashian's zodiac sign?

Kim Kardashian is a Libra. The media personality and businesswoman was born on October 21, 1980, in Los Angeles, California, and the Sun was in Libra throughout that day.

Libra is the air sign ruled by Venus, and its symbol is the scales. Tradition ties it to beauty and proportion, to image, to relationships as the main arena of life, and to the skill of striking a deal both sides can live with. The classic Libra difficulty is choosing: when every option has some merit, deciding takes a while. Astrologers also class it as a cardinal sign, one that starts things, which is why Libra is described as sociable but far from passive.

Moon sign

On the recorded birth time, her Moon is in Pisces. This placement needs the time, because the Moon changed sign at 1:43 pm that day, leaving Pisces for Aries. The recorded birth time is 10:46 am, about three hours before the change, so the Moon is still in Pisces. A chart drawn for an afternoon birth would show an Aries Moon.

The Moon describes the emotional side of a chart. Astrologers read a Pisces Moon as sensitive, intuitive and sympathetic, with a need to withdraw and recharge after soaking up other people's moods. Paired with a Libra Sun, the tradition describes a combination tuned to other people: Libra looks for harmony, Pisces picks up what is left unspoken.

Venus and Mars

Venus is in Virgo and Mars is in Sagittarius. Neither depends on the birth time, since both planets are slow enough to hold one sign for the whole birth day.

Because Venus rules Libra, its sign colours how astrologers read a Libra Sun. Venus in Virgo is read as love shown through practical care and attention to detail, with high standards and a discerning eye for what is well made. Mars in Sagittarius is read as restless, candid and motivated by big goals, a Mars that needs room to move and gets bored with small targets.

Rising sign

Her rising sign is Sagittarius on the recorded birth time. Astro-Databank, the archive astrologers use for birth data, lists 10:46 am with a Rodden rating of AA. That is the top grade on the Rodden scale, used when the time comes from a birth certificate or birth record. A rising sign is only as good as the time behind it, and this is as good as birth times get.

The rising sign, or Ascendant, is the sign that was coming up over the eastern horizon at the moment of birth, and it describes first impressions. Sagittarius rising is read as open, upbeat and frank, and its ruler is Jupiter, the planet astrologers associate with growth and scale. Mars shares the rising sign here, which doubles the Sagittarius note. In short: Sun in Libra, Moon in Pisces, Sagittarius rising.

Is Kim Kardashian into astrology?

She has referred to her sign, which is not the same as following astrology. In 2016, International Business Times UK reported that she had written on her own site about Libra and Gemini compatibility, calling both air signs. Libra is her Sun sign. That report is the one item on record, and it reaches us through a news article, not the original post. The record goes no further than that, so neither does this page.
