The following analysis by celebrity astrologers Tali & Ophi Edut, aka The AstroTwins, highlights the most interesting astrological features of Ariana Grande’s birth chart for all level astrology readers to understand. Ariana Grande was born on June 26, 1993. That means that she’s a softie Cancer Sun, charming Libra Moon, and - if we are to believe her reported birth time as it’s listed online - she is also a Capricorn Ascendant.
Here's what astrology reveals about Ariana Grande's birth chart.
Astrology of an Icon: Ariana Grande’s Birth Chart - Deep Dive Part 1
Her birthday and time reveal that she has a Cancer Sun zodiac sign. Her Moon sign is in Libra.
The Big Three: Sun, Moon, and Ascendant
Ariana Grande’s astrological sign is Cancer. Cancer is the sign linked to emotion and memory. Cancers are the ultimate homebodies of the zodiac, don’t be fooled if they happen to be the most popular person in the room however!
Cancer Suns are most notably people who are deeply empathic, fiercely protective and come with a shell that’s hard to crack, initially. They possess the softest of hearts, but, if you cross them, you will get chopped in half by their claws! Cancers are so often talked about in the sweetest of ways - hey, I love them, so I will continue to give them good press - but they have a sassy side, too. Their emotions run deep-for better or for worse.

Grande’s Libra Moon is what makes her so popular and charming, ever-more so the better you know her - and it really comes through in her music. That often makes someone deeply romantic, always dreaming about meeting the “one,” and this can lead them to jump into relationships because, rather than be alone, they’d rather be alone with a boo together (so romantic). Libra Moons can intellectualize their feelings, which is what helps her wake up when she is feeling down and be like: “Snap out of it, bitch!
Last but certainly not least, if we are to believe her birth time is accurate, that makes her an icy Capricorn Ascendant. The thing I find so fascinating about that, though - and the reason I actually believe this could be an authentic birth time - is because Uranus, the planet of rebellion, and Neptune, the planet of fantasy, are directly placed upon her Ascendant. That means those energies - of drama, passion, illusion and delusion - are blended with her boss babe vibes. Talk about a lot going on. No wonder she’s so captivating!

•Your rising sign, or ascendant, is the first impression you make. Capricorn risings can also be rather strategic and business-oriented. Ariana Grande’s earned revenue not only from her music and acting roles but also through her beauty ventures including perfume and music. Capricorn is also traditionally thought of as the traditional parent of the zodiac. As a Cancer Sun, the idea of family is incredibly important.
Other Planetary Positions
The moon rules emotions and our guilty pleasures. Ariana also happens to have Jupiter, the planet of abundance and opportunity right on top of her moon in her natal chart. The moon also naturally rules Cancer, which happens to be Ariana’s Sun sign. She’s happiest when in a relationship and could find it challenging to be by herself for long periods.

With Ariana’s Sun in Cancer, she likely is very protective and caring towards her loved ones. However, Sun in Cancer people can be a bit reserved when it comes to expressing their deepest thoughts to people around them. They tend to hide their sensitive side but learn to show it more as they get older. They can sometimes dwell on the past and they can be pretty emotional. They dislike change and seek comfort and stability in their life. They listen to their gut feelings when they meet new people, travel to new locations, or are in new situations. They love connecting with others and they are very loving, but they need time alone to recharge their energy.
Cancer zodiac signs can be delicate and often get scared or run away when people are too harsh or rude to them. They aren’t confrontational but can be manipulative and sneaky when trying to make things go their way. However, they are known for their compassion, loyalty, and kindness.
With Ariana’s Moon in Libra, she likely values connecting to others and building strong relationships. Moon in Libra people especially want a partner by their side who they can share their hopes and dreams with. In fact, they have a tendency to get married or get into a serious relationship when they are pretty young. They feel very comfortable and secure in relationships. If they aren’t in a relationship, they usually have a good friend that is always by their side. They simply have fun socializing and bonding with other people. Moon in Libra people are also very delightful and lovely so they can lure others in with their soft and kind demeanor. They aren’t too combative or hostile but they don’t like problems and if they notice an issue they will fix it. However, they are very stubborn and if they are having a disagreement with someone they won’t back down until they win.
With Ariana’s Mercury in Cancer, she likely speaks to others with emotion, sensitivity, and thoughtfulness. Mercury in Cancer people take their time to respond because they are deep thinkers. However, they make judgments and choices much faster than it seems. They are wonderful listeners and they have a wonderful memory so they will retain what is being said to them. They are also very emotionally intelligent and can read other people's emotions very well.
When communicating, they come off as very tender, kind, instinctual, and affectionate. However, they can be sensitive and sometimes can take things personally. They are very supportive in conversations and love to lend an ear. They can also see things from other people’s perspectives so they also give great advice. When they are upset, they won’t be very obvious about it because they hate confrontation or fighting with others. However, when they are annoyed with someone they will subtly push their buttons and try to get a rise out of them but then they retreat when that person starts trying to pick a fight back.

Mercury in Cancer people need to be on their own when making a decision because they need to examine the situation from every angle and ruminate on it. They don’t like when others try to interrupt their thinking process or push their ideas onto them.
With Ariana’s Venus in Taurus, it is likely that she craves a partner that is dependable and unsurprising. They enjoy being comfortable in their relationships and want someone they can truly rely on. They will also give that same level of commitment back to their partner and always be there for them. However, a person with Venus in Taurus can be slightly possessive and controlling in their relationships. They want to know what their partner is feeling and doing. Although, they will be very loyal in their relationships as well.
They also tend to be very sensual and their love language is usually physical touch. Although, they want a partner who will show them that they are trustworthy but they may take their time when it comes to opening up to their partner. You must be patient if you are in a relationship with a Venus in Taurus because they want to understand you before they let down their walls.
With Ariana’s Mars in Virgo, she likely tends to keep busy and is always working on her goals. Although they have lofty goals, they are very practical and approach tackling their goals in a very methodological way. People with Mars in Virgo are excellent multi-taskers because they do not enjoy being bored. However, they sometimes have too much on their plate. Although, they are very organized and tend to have a specific way they like doing things. They like having a schedule and to-do lists that help them work towards their goals.
It may take them a while to finish a project though because they like to bounce around from task to task. They always have to be busy and don’t give themselves too much downtime because they despise boredom. They strive to be successful so they are usually perfectionists when it comes to their work. They also tend to be very kind people and care about others. It actually takes a lot to anger a Mars in Virgo person. However, when they do get mad they tend to throw a small hissy fit and complain but this stage doesn’t last very long. Although, they often get very nervous and anxious if they feel overwhelmed or underwhelmed. They need a nice balance to find peace and calm.
When it comes to their sex life, they are very curious and enjoy trying new things with their partner. They could also be a little shy and reserved at the same time but that is outweighed by their desire to satisfy and please their partner.
With Ariana’s Jupiter in Libra, she likely is at her best when she is treating others with kindness and compassion. Jupiter in Libra people are pretty fair and courteous. They find people and relationships important and want to tackle the world with a partner by their side. They use their allure and elegance to achieve their goals.
With Ariana’s Saturn in Pisces, she likely feels uneasy with dramatic displays of emotion or sensitivity. However, Saturn in Pisces people must let themselves express their sensitive side instead of keeping it bottled up. They also tend to root for the underdog but they themselves never want to be seen as such. They may become embarrassed if someone offers to give them help when they don’t ask for it. Although, they generally enjoy helping others and often take on the role of a caretaker in their personal relationships. When they spend time being the strong and supportive one towards others, they can feel upset that they aren’t getting those things in return. However, they want others to treat them kindly and they seek the approval of others but will never outwardly ask for it. They also don’t like to be in situations that they don’t have control over or don’t know what is going on.
When they aren’t feeling confident about themselves or certain events, they can feel anxious and fearful. It can be difficult for them to open up emotionally but as they get older, they get more in touch with their feelings and get better at expressing them.
With Ariana’s Uranus in Capricorn, she likely values innovation, changes, and breaking barriers. Uranus in Capricorn people are individuals who walk to the beat of their own drum. They want to redefine traditions, rules, and structures. Although they want to make a difference, they can be a bit stubborn and can have a difficult time seeing things from a different perspective. At times, they fight authority figures and rules if they are not beneficial for everyone.
With Ariana’s Neptune in Capricorn, she is part of a generation that generally abides by the rules and respects structure and discipline. They usually have big goals and dreams but their aspirations have to be practical for them to follow through. Neptune in Capricorn people have to genuinely enjoy what they are doing for them to continue doing it. They could be very optimistic people but their optimism isn’t what pushes them forward, instead, their practicality motivates them. If they believe that their goals are worth pursuing then they will pursue it with gusto.
With Ariana’s Pluto in Scorpio, she likely has strong feelings about sexuality, closeness, devotion, and comfort. Pluto in Scorpio people can go to great lengths when it comes to getting close to others or achieving their goals. They seek success and want to be different from others that it can be difficult for them to be at ease or satisfied. They may even push themselves and put a lot of pressure on themselves so they don’t come up short. They are kind as well as pragmatic. They are also incredibly observant and try to see things for what they are.
Ariana Grande’s Sun is in the sixth house of her birth chart, which is all about work and health. People with Sun in the sixth house take great pride in their work and are natural leaders who shine in the workplace.
Ariana Grande’s birth chart has her South Node (past-life karma) in Gemini and her North Node (destiny) in Sagittarius. With a South Node in Gemini, Ariana is a gifted storyteller and an excellent flirt (she did tell you to “break up with your girlfriend, she’s bored”). She can easily assume multiple perspectives and voices, sometimes at the expense of her own (read: people-pleasing tendencies). Her South Node is in her fifth house of fun and romance, while her North Node rests in her eleventh house of friends and long-term priorities. She’s here to get serious in this lifetime about relationships and social engagements that truly bring her joy and balance. The fifth house can also be interpreted as the house of creative projects.
Venus and Mars are the love planets in astrology. Ariana Grande has her Venus in Taurus and her Mars in Virgo, forming an “easy” elemental aspect known as a trine. Venus in Taurus craves comfort and stability while Mars in Virgo is more than happy to serve and accommodate. An emotionally mature partner with the ability to keep her grounded through acts of service (in and out of the bedroom and side to side) would be an excellent partner for her.
The placement of Pluto affects the energy of the love planet, imbuing it with a sense of mystery and edge. The presence of Pluto in the chart can also indicate a scandal, which Ariana found herself in the middle of with her most recent divorce and immediate coupling with Wicked co-star Ethan Slater. Her Pluto sits in the tenth house of reputation and legacy, the most public point of her chart.
Ariana Grande’s chart ruler is Saturn, the planet that governs Capricorn, her rising sign. Her natal Saturn is in Pisces, in the second house. With Saturn’s presence in the second house, the harder she works at her artistry, the more she’ll be rewarded for it. You see her continuously evolve as an artist from her Nickelodeon days to the pop diva we know now. Ariana’s Saturn happens to oppose her natal Mars (action and behavior), however, which could indicate workaholic tendencies.
Ariana Grande’s Relationships Are A Hot Mess, but Mostly Hot
When we get to Grande’s love languages and relationships, she’s not afraid of intensity. Her Venus, connected to her romantic side, is in fiercely loyal and stubborn Taurus. This is one of the reasons she can’t get over someone until she lets out allllllll the feels. Her Mars, connected to her sex drive, is in another Earth sign-Virgo. This means that she likes to take it slowly when it starts getting sensual and intimate, but once she likes someone she will let her freak flag fly! Virgo Mars is one of the kinkiest energies, so even if she doesn’t talk about them whips and chains, I’m gonna just toss it out there that other people with Virgo Mars like ‘em and I’ll let you read between the lines.
Her Mercury, connected to her communication style, is in emotional Cancer and falls in her sector of partnerships-showing that she demands complete attention to the nuances of her moods by a lover. Someone that can do this and be receptive to all of that wins her heart every time.
Deeper Insight Into the Masterpiece that is Ariana Grande
If that wasn’t enough insight into Grande’s very spicy birth chart, there are a few final details I want to highlight. Her Sun, tied to her life force, is in a powerful alignment with Jupiter, the planet of luck and expansion, as well as her Moon, tied to her inner life. This brings her tremendous opportunities for success, but with several hiccups on the way to test her. Lucky breaks will happen throughout her life, making her feel #blessed, but it also often creates an inflated ego. This is to overcompensate for insecurity underneath it all. Also, ups and downs are guaranteed throughout her entire lifetime! Buckle up, Grande fans! You know what that means? Hella good music! Sign me up, baby! Make me feel something!
The last thing to mention is that her Venus makes a lot of interactions within her birth chart, too. It links with dreamy Neptune, bringing her magnetic creative genius, as well as Uranus, causing her to connect with unique and eccentric people. This also triggers an innate struggle between wanting complete devotion or total commitment in her relationships. Last, her Venus clashes with Pluto, meaning that she often experiences instant attractions and very intense relationships. However, they often end up in power struggles or filled with jealousy and manipulation. This is something she will be able to navigate more as she grows, but it is certainly something she has witnessed multiple times. Of course this doesn’t spell bad luck in love forever, but it does show that once she utilizes love as a true catalyst for positive change-which she hopefully has done with her husband-she will live a long and peaceful married life.
Ariana Grande does not have a stellium, and her natal chart possesses the splay shape. People born with a splay shape are generous with their resources.
