> Sabrina Carpenter's birth chart for May 11, 1999, Quakertown: she gives 8:52 or 11:52 a.m. herself, rated DD, so a noon chart without houses.

Birth data: 1999-05-11, unknown, Quakertown, Pennsylvania, USA; Rodden rating DD.

Sabrina Carpenter was born on May 11, 1999, in Quakertown, Pennsylvania. The date and place are known, but she gives the time in two versions that produce different Ascendants. The chart is therefore cast for noon, and the reading rests on the planets and the aspects between them. Its most visible features are three planets in Taurus and a fixed cross in which the Sun stands between Uranus and the axis of the lunar nodes.

## What is known and what is not

The date and place are given by Wikidata and Biography.com, and English Wikipedia agrees. No hospital is known, so the coordinates are those of central Quakertown. Astro-Databank and Astrotheme use the broader "Lehigh Valley", with coordinates near Allentown. For a noon chart the difference changes nothing.

The time is known only from her own words. In a WIRED video published on December 10, 2021, she said her mother tells her the time every couple of years and she always forgets: "I think it's 8:52 in the morning, but then some years it's 11:52". The versions are:

- 8:52 a.m.: the first option in that interview. It gives a Cancer Ascendant, and Astro-Databank uses it;
- 11:52 a.m.: the second option in the same interview. It gives a Leo Ascendant;
- Pisces rising: in Nylon in February 2022 she said she believes she is a Pisces rising, "if I'm not mistaken". Neither 8:52 nor 11:52 gives that. Her Moon is in Pisces, and Astro-Databank suggests she confused the Moon with the Ascendant.

Both times come from her, but they are incompatible and neither can be preferred. So the [Rodden rating](/en/methodology#rodden) is DD, and we take neither as the main time.

The chart is cast for 12:00 noon Eastern Daylight Time (UTC-4), which Pennsylvania kept in May 1999. It has no houses, no Ascendant and no MC, and we do not give the Moon's degree (how charts without a time are cast is explained in the [methodology](/en/methodology#unknown-time)). This time the Moon's sign depends on the hour: during May 11 the Moon moved from Pisces into Aries. Both morning times she gives fall while the Moon was in Pisces.

## Three planets in Taurus

The Sun at 20°31′ Taurus, Mercury at 5°03′ Taurus and Saturn at 8°33′ Taurus form a [stellium](/en/aspects/patterns/stellium). Mercury and Saturn are conjunct with an orb of 3°30′. Tradition links Taurus with steadiness, sensuality and a feel for form and sound, and reads Mercury next to Saturn as careful, thorough thinking that takes its time to get a thing right.

The Sun also forms a semisextile to Jupiter at 20°37′ Aries with an orb of 0°05′. It is a minor aspect, but the most exact one in the chart. Mercury sextiles Venus at 3°18′ Cancer, orb 1°44′.

## Mercury square Neptune

The closest major aspect between two planets joins Mercury in Taurus and Neptune at 4°21′ Aquarius: a [square](/en/aspects/square) of Mercury to Neptune with an orb of 0°41′. Saturn squares Neptune as well, more widely, with an orb of 4°11′. Astrologers link a Mercury-Neptune square with imaginative thinking, a liking for double meanings and wordplay, and a mind that follows mood more readily than a plan. Saturn in the same knot traditionally adds the need to press the image into a clear form.

## Uranus, the nodes and the Sun

Uranus at 16°44′ Aquarius and the North Node at 17°20′ Leo are in [opposition](/en/aspects/opposition) with an orb of 0°35′. The Sun in Taurus squares both: the Sun squares the Node with an orb of 3°11′, and the Sun squares Uranus with an orb of 3°46′. Taurus, Leo and Aquarius belong to the fixed cross, so this resembles a [T-square](/en/aspects/patterns/t-square) with the Sun at the apex, although one end is a nodal point rather than a planet.

Tradition links the fixed cross with stubbornness and steady pressure in one direction, and Uranus on the nodal axis with a wish to break out of the expected script. Jupiter in Aries leans on this axis softly: Jupiter trines the Node with an orb of 3°17′ and sextiles Uranus with an orb of 3°52′.
