IU’s birth chart

Born May 16, 1993 in Songjeong-dong, birth time not public.

Taurus Sun · Pisces Moon · Earth · Fixed

Sun

Taurus

25° Taurus 15'

You build. Comfort, steadiness and things that last matter more to you than novelty, and people trust you because you do not change your mind for show. Your growth edge is letting go before something stops working.

Moon

Pisces

23° Pisces 51'

You feel what everyone in the room is feeling. Music, water, sleep and imagination restore you, and you need to be careful whose moods you carry home. Your empathy is a gift that needs a door.

Cast for noon; the Moon may be up to 6° off without a birth time.

IU's full reading

Each planet by sign. First-draft readings in the StarMap voice, reviewed by our consulting astrologer before launch.

  1. Sun in Taurus

    25° Taurus 15'

    purpose and vitality

    They find purpose in building something that lasts, and their vitality runs slow and steady rather than in bursts. The tension is a reluctance to change course even when the plan is clearly not working. It shows up in how long they stay at one job or one home before they will admit it is time to move.

  2. Moon in Pisces

    23° Pisces 51'

    needs and habits

    Their daily mood is porous, picking up the emotional temperature of a room without they choosing to. IU is restored by quiet, music or time near water more than by talking things out. The tension is not noticing how much of what they feel actually belongs to someone else.

  3. Mercury in Taurus

    25° Taurus 16'

    mind and voice

    They think slowly and thoroughly, and once they have reached a conclusion they rarely revisit it without good reason. Their communication is plain and practical rather than showy. The tension is taking a while to consider a new idea that clashes with what they already believe.

  4. Venus in Aries

    12° Aries 38'

    love and values

    They love with immediacy and pursue what they want without much hesitation, and they value a partner who can keep up. The tension is losing interest once the chase is over. It shows up as falling for someone fast and needing the relationship to keep feeling like a choice, not a routine.

  5. Mars in Leo

    9° Leo 01'

    drive and anger

    They act with confidence and want their effort to be visible, and their anger flares when their pride or their loyalty is challenged. The tension is turning a disagreement into a matter of ego. It shows up as taking criticism of their work personally, even when it was not meant that way.

  6. Jupiter in Libra

    5° Libra 08'

    growth and excess

    They grow through partnership and a genuine gift for bringing people together. The overreach is people-pleasing so broadly that they end up overcommitted to everyone's expectations at once. It shows up as being the connector whose introductions and events other people benefit from more than they realise.

  7. Saturn in Aquarius

    29° Aquarius 48'

    discipline and doubt

    They build discipline around belonging to a group on their own terms, often after early experiences of feeling like an outsider. The doubt shows up as holding back their stranger ideas until IU is sure they will not be mocked. It shows up as becoming, eventually, a trusted voice in exactly the kind of community they once worried would not accept they.

  8. Uranus in Capricorn

    22° Capricorn 01'

    freedom, generational

    Shared by everyone born in this span, this placement marks a generation that dismantles and rebuilds old institutions and authority structures. Personally, it can show up as scepticism toward systems that ask for trust without having earned it.

  9. Neptune in Capricorn

    21° Capricorn 00'

    imagination, generational

    Shared across this generational span, this placement marks people whose collective imagination questions or idealises authority and ambition, often shaped by widescale disillusionment with institutions. Personally, it can show up as an uneasy relationship with conventional success.

  10. Pluto in Scorpio

    24° Scorpio 06'

    power, generational

    Pluto is at home here, and shared across this generational span, this placement marks a generation that lives through profound upheavals in power, secrecy and shared taboos. Personally, it can show up as an unusually deep comfort with intensity that other placements would find overwhelming.

Aspects

How the planets in IU's chart talk to each other, tightest first.

  1. Sun conjunction Mercury

    0.0° separating

    Their sense of self and the way they think are fused, so their opinions feel like statements of who IU is. They speak their mind readily, and separating a passing thought from their identity takes practice worth doing.

  2. Moon trine Pluto

    0.2° applying

    Their feelings and their capacity for transformation support each other, so they proces even difficult emotions in a way that leaves they stronger rather than depleted. This is quiet, genuine resilience, the sort that other people only notice once they see what they have come through.

  3. Uranus conjunction Neptune

    1.0° applying

    Shared by everyone born in this span, this placement marks a generation whose imagination and drive for change move together. Personally, it can show up as restless creativity.

  4. Sun opposition Pluto

    1.2° separating

    They feel a pull between asserting themselves plainly and getting drawn into power struggles with people who seem to threaten their sense of control. Working through it teaches they a quieter, more durable kind of strength.
