Ariana Grande birth chart without a birth time

Birth data

Ariana Grande was born on June 26, 1993, in Boca Raton, Florida. Her birth time exists in several versions, none of which can be checked, so the chart is cast for noon. Its most striking feature is Venus in Taurus in a near-exact trine to the Uranus-Neptune conjunction in Capricorn.

What is known and what is not

The date and city are confirmed: Wikidata gives June 26, 1993, Boca Raton, and the Sun Sentinel called her Boca Raton-born in 2012. No reliable source names a hospital (a fan post mentions St Judes Hospital), so the coordinates are those of the city centre.

On June 25, 2015, a follower on Twitter asked her father, the graphic designer Edward Butera: "exactly what time was she born?". According to Astro-Databank, he replied "9:16pm". The collector Sy Scholfield recorded it, and Astro-Databank and Astrotheme rate it A. But the father's tweets have been deleted, and neither the Wayback Machine nor archive.today holds a copy. The question survives, and so does a follower's reply, "this says 9:10pm tho", with a photo of a baby welcome card reading "Born 6/26/93, Time 9:10 PM". Her father did not respond.

There are at least three versions of the time:

• 21:16: her father's words on Twitter as reported by Astro-Databank; we have not seen the tweet;
• 21:10: the card from a follower's reply, which Astro-Databank traces to the fan site arianatoday.net; it is unverified;
• 12:34: a Facebook fan page post cited by Roman Craft; Astro-Databank used this time before.

Astro-Databank also mentions fan claims of 9:16 a.m. and 12:34 a.m., without sources. The two evening versions both give a Capricorn Ascendant, about 1.5° apart, but the midday one gives a different chart, and none is backed by a document or a quote we have seen. Houses built on any of them would present an unverified time as fact. The Rodden rating is therefore DD, conflicting data, and we take no version as the main time.

The chart is cast for 12:00 noon Eastern Daylight Time (UTC−4), which Florida kept in June 1993. It has no houses, Ascendant or MC (how we handle an unknown time). During that day the Moon moved from Virgo into Libra, so its sign is uncertain and the Moon is left out of this reading.

Venus trine Uranus and Neptune

Venus at 20°04′ Taurus is in trine to Neptune at 20°10′ Capricorn with an orb of 0°05′, and in trine to Uranus at 20°50′ Capricorn with an orb of 0°45′. Uranus and Neptune are in conjunction with each other, orb 0°39′. Everyone born that year shares this conjunction; Venus, touching both almost exactly, makes it personal.

Venus in Taurus is in its own sign, where tradition considers it strong: sensuality, taste, a love of beauty and harmony. In the modern reading the trine to Neptune adds imagination and a feel for music, and the trine to Uranus a taste for experiment.

A fixed cross: Venus, Pluto and Chiron

Venus is in opposition to Pluto at 23°05′ Scorpio, orb 3°00′. Both square Chiron at 21°16′ Leo: Venus with an orb of 1°12′, Pluto with an orb of 1°48′. If Chiron is counted, this makes a T-square in fixed signs with Chiron at the apex. Not every astrologer counts Chiron in configurations, so the profile does not list this figure.

Tradition reads the Venus-Pluto opposition as attachments without half measures; Chiron at the apex adds, in the modern reading, a theme of vulnerability. Pluto also sextiles Uranus (orb 2°14′) and Neptune (orb 2°54′).

The Cancer Sun between Jupiter and Saturn

The Sun at 5°02′ Cancer squares Jupiter at 5°42′ Libra with an orb of 0°39′. Both signs are cardinal, and tradition links this angle with big gestures and a habit of taking on more than can be held. The Sun's semisquare to Venus has an orb of 0°01′, the tightest in the chart.

Another opposition runs across the start of two signs: Mars at 1°56′ Virgo and retrograde Saturn at 0°06′ Pisces, orb 1°49′. The Sun connects both ends with soft aspects, a sextile to Mars (orb 3°06′) and a trine to Saturn (orb 4°56′). Astrologers read this opposition as discipline holding back impulse.
