Corey Taylor’s birth chart
Born 8 December 1973, in Des Moines, Iowa. StarMap has no verified birth time yet.
Sagittarius Sun · Moon in Taurus or Gemini
Corey Taylor’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
8 December 1973 was a Saturday: the day Corey Taylor was born in Des Moines, Iowa. That makes Corey a Sagittarius. The Moon changed sign at about 15:00, from Taurus to Gemini; which of the two is the Moon sign depends on the hour of birth. Corey turns 53 in 2026. StarMap has no verified birth time for Corey, so the chart is cast for midday and leaves the houses out.
Air carries the most weight: four of the eight planets whose sign does not depend on the birth time, against fire three, water one and earth none. Cardinal signs hold four, fixed signs two and mutable signs two. No two planets sit closer to an exact angle than Mars and Uranus: an opposition, about 0.1° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. One planet was retrograde: Saturn. The Moon was waxing gibbous, between first quarter and full.
StarMap's dataset holds 20 other people born on 8 December, among them Jim Morrison, Nicki Minaj and Kim Basinger.

Corey Taylor’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Sagittarius
about 16° Sagittarius at midday
A Sagittarius Sun seeks. Meaning, distance and the bigger picture are likely to pull Corey Taylor forward, and the honesty of this placement is a kind of generosity. Its lesson is that the journey also needs somewhere to land.
Moon sign
Taurus or Gemini
Taurus until about 15:00, then Gemini (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.
Born before about 15:00: Moon in Taurus
A Taurus Moon feels through the body and its surroundings. On this reading, good food, familiar places and slow evenings are what restore Corey, and sudden change lands hard. Once they feel safe, they can be the steadiest person in the room.
Born after about 15:00: Moon in Gemini
The Moon in Gemini processes feeling by naming it. For Corey, talking, writing and switching perspective are likely ways to settle, and silence can make small worries loud. They probably need people who let them think out loud.
Rising sign
The rising sign changes about every two hours, so it cannot be known without a birth time. The table below shows which sign was rising over Des Moines, Iowa, at each hour of the day.
Corey Taylor’s rising sign, by birth time
StarMap has not verified a birth time for Corey yet. It shows a birth time only when Astro-Databank rates it AA, A or B on the Rodden scale (AA from a birth certificate or record, A from the person, someone close to them or a news report, B from a biography). Until then, this is the rising sign for every possible time of birth on 8 December 1973, computed for Des Moines, Iowa.

Corey Taylor’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Corey Taylor’s private life.
Growth, travel and ideas bigger than daily life are where Corey Taylor's Sagittarius Sun finds purpose, and their energy tends to lift the moment there is somewhere new to go. Familiarity is what wears on this placement. A few months into any routine, however good it is, restlessness usually sets in.
Moon in Taurus or Gemini
Taurus until about 15:00, then Gemini
needs and habits
Born before about 15:00: Moon in Taurus
A Taurus Moon needs routine, familiar food and physical comfort to feel steady from day to day. A sudden change of schedule probably unsettles Corey more than they let on. A good bed, a favourite mug or the same coffee order can turn an unsteady morning around.
Born after about 15:00: Moon in Gemini
The Moon in Gemini runs its daily habits on conversation and mental stimulation, and Corey is likely to settle by talking a worry through rather than sitting with it quietly. A day with no one to talk to can leave them restless. The habit is to message a friend the moment something comes to mind, before deciding what to think about it.
Mercury in Scorpio or Sagittarius
Scorpio until about 15:30, then Sagittarius
mind and voice
Born before about 15:30: Mercury in Scorpio
With Mercury in Scorpio, Corey tends to think in layers, looking for what is not being said as much as what is spoken aloud. Once they have decided to speak they can be very direct, and until then, silent. The tension is suspecting a hidden motive where there is only an ordinary one.
Born after about 15:30: Mercury in Sagittarius
Corey's Mercury in Sagittarius thinks in big, connective leaps and communicates with enthusiasm and a wide frame of reference drawn from everywhere they have been. The weak point is generalising past what the details support. A specific question may get a sweeping theory nobody quite asked for.
Venus in Aquarius loves as a friend first, and values independence, shared ideas and a partner who allows plenty of room. Corey may keep just enough distance that closeness feels slightly out of reach, even to them. This Venus can prize a partner's individuality more than the intimacy between them.
For Corey, Mars in Aries points to acting immediately and decisively, with anger that tends to flare fast, hot and honest before it clears. The downside is acting before a situation has been thought all the way through. The argument or the project tends to start the second the impulse arrives, with little patience for waiting.
Jupiter in Aquarius
9° Aquarius 40' at midday
growth and excess
Jupiter in Aquarius grows through community, ideas and causes bigger than one life. Corey may put so much trust in a theory or a group that its practical flaws are overlooked. Optimism about the future can make them a natural organiser of other people's efforts.
Emotional security is where Corey's Saturn in Cancer builds discipline; it is a placement often associated with learning early to be the steady one. Asking for care tends to be difficult with this Saturn, even when care is clearly needed. Over time, people with this placement often become the dependable anchor for others, including some who never quite return the favour.
Uranus in Libra
26° Libra 27' at midday
freedom, generational
Corey holds Uranus in Libra in common with many people born in the same stretch of years. Together that generation reshapes ideas of partnership, fairness and how relationships are arranged. Its personal side is a readiness to question traditional roles more openly than earlier generations felt able to.
Neptune in Sagittarius
7° Sagittarius 30' at midday
imagination, generational
Neptune in Sagittarius is the dream of a generation: grand systems of belief and utopian journeys. What belongs to Corey in it may be a hopeful conviction that the right philosophy will resolve a practical problem.
Pluto in Libra
6° Libra 32' at midday
power, generational
Pluto in Libra is the signature of the generation Corey belongs to, because Pluto moves so slowly. That generation transforms ideas of partnership, fairness and what people owe one another. Personally it can be an intense need for relationships to be fundamentally fair.
Aspects in Corey Taylor’s chart
How the planets stand to each other, tightest first. Without a birth time the orbs are those at midday, and aspects to the Moon are left out because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day.
Mars opposition Uranus
about 0.1° at midday
When Corey Taylor acts on their own terms, it can bring them up against people or systems that expect the usual process to be followed; this opposition lives in that clash. Rebellion chosen deliberately, moment by moment, tends to serve them better than a reaction to every restriction.
Mercury sextile Venus
about 0.8° at midday
Thinking and affection are easy companions in Corey's chart, which gives them a natural charm in how they communicate. With Mercury sextile Venus, expressing appreciation and finding the right words go together, especially in moments when they want someone to feel noticed.
Jupiter sextile Neptune
about 2.2° at midday
Inspired ideas are within Corey's reach without any loss of footing, since possibility and imagination are gently linked by this sextile. The optimism is soft and workable, useful for keeping a project hopeful without letting it drift far from what is real.
Jupiter trine Pluto
about 3.1° at midday
In this trine, Corey's optimism and capacity for transformation feed each other, and the combination can give them the power to turn a big vision into lasting change. The growth it brings tends to be deep as well as broad, which is why the bigger changes usually stick.
Saturn square Pluto
about 4.1° at midday
Saturn square Pluto sets the need for control against the instinct for transformation, and Corey may grip a structure most tightly at the very moment it needs to change. Each old form that is let go leaves a strength behind that is more real than the grip was.
Venus square Uranus
about 4.2° at midday
In Corey's chart the desire for closeness and the need for freedom can work against each other, and this square is known for sudden shifts in an otherwise good relationship. The remedy is to build enough independence into the relationship that none has to be created by pulling away.
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.
