Adele’s birth chart
Born 5 May 1988, in Tottenham, England, at 08:19 (Rodden B).
Taurus Sun · Sagittarius Moon · Cancer rising
Adele’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
Adele was born in Tottenham, England, on 5 May 1988, a Thursday. The Sun was in Taurus, so Taurus is their zodiac sign, with the Moon in Sagittarius and Cancer rising. Adele turns 38 in 2026. The birth time, 08:19, comes from Astro-Databank with a Rodden rating of B, which means it was taken from a biography or autobiography.
Of the ten planets, five are in earth signs, three in air, one in fire and one in water. By modality the count is four fixed, three cardinal and three mutable. Three planets stand together in Capricorn: Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. They are slow planets, so the grouping is shared with people born around the same time. No two planets sit closer to an exact angle than Moon and Venus: an opposition, 0.9° from exact. Four planets were retrograde: Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. The Moon was waning gibbous, between full and last quarter.
StarMap's dataset holds 15 other people born on 5 May, among them Henry Cavill, Chris Brown and Michael Palin.
Adele’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Taurus
15° Taurus 00'
A Taurus Sun builds. Comfort, steadiness and things that last probably matter more to Adele than novelty, and people tend to trust someone who does not change their mind for show. The growth edge is letting go before something stops working.
Moon sign
Sagittarius
26° Sagittarius 13'
A Sagittarius Moon feels best in motion. Open roads, new ideas and honest laughter probably lift Adele, and being fenced in by other people's moods tends to weigh them down. This Moon needs room, and someone who thinks that is fine.
Rising sign
Cancer
5° Cancer 31'
With Cancer rising, Adele tends to come across as approachable and a little guarded. People often confide in a Cancer rising early and find that they are noticed in return; the shell opens on its own schedule.

Adele’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign and house: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Adele’s private life.
Sun in Taurus
15° Taurus 00' · eleventh house
purpose and vitality
A Taurus Sun finds purpose in building something that lasts, and Adele's vitality probably runs slow and steady rather than in bursts. The drawback is a reluctance to change course even when the plan is clearly not working. People with this Sun can stay in one job or one home long after part of them knows it is time to move.
The Sun in the eleventh house means Adele finds themselves through friendships and the causes they throw their weight behind, more than through solitary achievement. Adele is at their best inside a group with a shared purpose, and being cut off from that kind of company can dim their spark.
Moon in Sagittarius
26° Sagittarius 13' · sixth house
needs and habits
The Moon in Sagittarius needs room to move and a bit of novelty in its routine to feel right. A schedule with no give in it can make Adele edgy faster than most people expect. With this Moon, the next trip tends to be planned before the current one has finished.
The Moon in the sixth house ties the sense that all is well to daily routine, and an unpredictable schedule can leave Adele more rattled than the problem itself warrants. Small, dependable habits, kept even loosely, calm them faster than anything else.
Mercury in Gemini
0° Gemini 53' · twelfth house
mind and voice
Adele's Mercury in Gemini describes a mind that moves fast across many subjects at once and communicates easily in almost any setting. The tension is skimming the surface of a topic and moving on before going deep enough to be sure of it. The result is knowing a little about a great many things.
In Adele's chart, Mercury in the twelfth house suggests a mind that works in the background, turning things over long before any conclusion rises to the surface. Adele may understand something by intuition well before they can explain, even to themselves, how they got there.
Venus in Gemini
25° Gemini 20' · twelfth house
love and values
Venus in Gemini loves through conversation, wit and mental connection, and tends to find a dull partner harder to stay with than a challenging one. Adele probably values variety and being kept interested. Attention may wander with this Venus, and that can be treated as more serious than it is. Banter is the natural way to flirt here, more than anything more direct.
Venus in the twelfth house keeps affections private and sometimes idealised, and Adele may feel more deeply than they show to most people. The placement values quiet acts of devotion, done without an audience, over public displays or grand romantic gestures.
Mars in Aquarius
18° Aquarius 56' · ninth house
drive and anger
Mars in Aquarius acts on principle, and its anger surfaces most over unfairness or hypocrisy rather than personal slights. Adele can detach from a conflict so thoroughly that the other person feels shut out. The issue tends to get argued with heat while the relationship itself is treated with strange calm.
With Mars in the ninth house, Adele is likely to pursue new ideas, travel and beliefs with restless energy, and a good debate about philosophy or politics can fire them up for hours. They would rather go out and find the answer than sit and wait for it to arrive.
Jupiter in Taurus
13° Taurus 14' · eleventh house
growth and excess
In Adele's chart, Jupiter in Taurus grows through patience, and what it builds tends to come together slowly and steadily rather than in one leap. Taken too far, that can become excess: holding on to more comfort or more stuff than serves them. They are probably generous with food, gifts and shared pleasures, and now and then generosity tips into indulgence.
With Jupiter in the eleventh house, Adele brings enthusiasm to the causes and community projects that catch their interest, and keeps a wide and varied circle of friends. In a group working towards a shared goal, that enthusiasm spreads.
Saturn in Capricorn
2° Capricorn 05' ℞ · sixth house
discipline and doubt
Saturn is at home in Capricorn, a placement that builds discipline as naturally as breathing and often takes on responsibility earlier than most. The doubt, for Adele, may be never quite believing that enough has been achieved to relax. Others tend to recognise this kind of authority well before it is claimed.
With Saturn in the sixth house, Adele takes daily responsibilities seriously, sometimes to the point of being harder on themselves than the job requires. Saturn here keeps up a discipline over years, long after others would have let it slip.
Uranus in Capricorn
0° Capricorn 39' ℞ · sixth house
freedom, generational
Many people within a few years of Adele's age share Uranus in Capricorn, the mark of a generation that dismantles and rebuilds old institutions and structures of authority. Personally, that can mean scepticism towards any system that asks for trust without having shown why it deserves it.
With Uranus in the sixth house, Adele is often the inventive one at work, finding shortcuts or better systems that other people miss. A rigid, unchanging routine is apt to wear on Adele faster than on most, however sensible it looks.
Neptune in Capricorn
10° Capricorn 02' ℞ · seventh house
imagination, generational
Neptune in Capricorn is shared by Adele and about fourteen years of births. The imagination of the generation questions or idealises authority and ambition, often shaped by wide disillusionment with institutions. The personal version may be an uneasy relationship with conventional success.
Neptune in the seventh house can lead Adele to idealise a partner, blurring the line between the person who is there and the one who was hoped for. Disappointment can follow when reality does not match the dream, though compassion is apt to stay at the heart of how Adele loves.
Pluto in Scorpio
11° Scorpio 05' ℞ · fifth house
power, generational
Pluto is at home in Scorpio, and the generation born with it lives through profound upheavals in power, secrecy and shared taboos. Adele's own share may be an unusually deep comfort with intensity that others would find overwhelming.
Pluto in the fifth house makes romance and creativity all-or-nothing, and Adele is inclined to love and create with total, visible commitment rather than half measures. Someone with Pluto here holds on to what they make and who they love, once they have decided, completely and for a long time.
Aspects in Adele’s chart
How the planets stand to each other, tightest first.
Moon opposition Venus
0.9° separating
What Adele needs and what keeps a relationship pleasant do not always match, and with the Moon opposite Venus the temptation is to soften a feeling to avoid friction. Naming a need plainly serves a relationship better than protecting it from that need.
Saturn conjunction Uranus
1.4° applying
With discipline and the need for independence fused, Adele tends to build structure their own way instead of inheriting someone else's. Saturn conjunct Uranus makes them an original builder, and the challenge is letting a good structure stay flexible and not harden into another rule.
Sun conjunction Jupiter
1.8° separating
Adele's identity carries a natural optimism and a generous sense of scale, so they tend to think bigger than the room requires. Confidence comes easily with the Sun conjunct Jupiter, and the discipline worth building is matching that optimism with follow-through.
Jupiter opposition Pluto
2.2° separating
In this opposition, the urge to expand outward meets a need to control the process so tightly that it limits the very growth being sought. When Adele loosens their grip on the outcome, the opportunity itself tends to get through.
Jupiter trine Neptune
3.2° separating
Optimism and imagination tend to flow together for Adele, and what comes of it is an inspired, generous vision of what is possible. Hope and creativity tend to serve them well under this trine, especially when both are allowed to guide a project and neither is second-guessed.
Sun opposition Pluto
3.9° separating
The Sun opposite Pluto sets plain self-assertion against the draw of power struggles with people who seem to threaten Adele's sense of control. Working through it leaves Adele with a strength that has no need to prove itself.
The rest, listed without a reading. Those between Uranus, Neptune and Pluto hold for years at a time, so everyone born while one holds shares it.
