Capricorn Sun · Scorpio Moon
Kate Moss’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
16 January 1974 was a Wednesday: the day Kate Moss was born in Addiscombe, England. That makes Kate a Capricorn, with the Moon in Scorpio. Kate turns 52 in 2026. No verified birth time is on file for Kate; the chart is cast for midday, without houses.
Of the nine planets whose sign does not depend on the birth time, five are in air signs, two in earth, one in fire and one in water. Fixed signs hold four, cardinal signs three and mutable signs two. The tightest aspect is Venus trine Pluto, about 1.0° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Venus, Saturn and Pluto were retrograde. Over the course of the day the Moon went from last quarter to waning crescent.
StarMap's dataset holds 15 other people born on 16 January, among them Susan Sontag, Jennie and Aaliyah. Wikidata links Kate with one person in the dataset: Johnny Depp (listed as partners, 1994 to 1998).

Kate Moss’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Capricorn
about 25° Capricorn at midday
A Capricorn Sun endures. Ambition, patience and a dry sense of humour are what tend to carry Kate Moss up long slopes other people give up on. The placement learns, eventually, that rest is part of the climb.
Moon sign
Scorpio
in this sign all day; the degree depends on the birth time
The Moon in Scorpio feels everything and shows little. For Kate that suggests trust that is slow, private and absolute; betrayal, once it happens, is not forgotten. This Moon is restored by intimacy without performance and by time alone to let things move.
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 Addiscombe, England, at each hour of the day.
Kate Moss’s rising sign, by birth time
StarMap has not verified a birth time for Kate 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 16 January 1974, computed for Addiscombe, England.

Kate Moss’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Kate Moss’s private life.
With the Sun in Capricorn, Kate Moss is likely to find purpose in building a reputation and a structure that will outlast them, with a vitality that is steady rather than showy. The trap can be measuring their worth by output alone. They may well work through tiredness instead of naming it, until someone else has to point it out.
For Kate, the Moon in Scorpio means emotional needs that run deep and private, and a preference for managing a hard feeling alone over explaining it while it is still raw. Trust builds slowly and is rarely given back once broken. Even among the people closest to them, this Moon is likely to need real privacy.
Mercury in Capricorn or Aquarius
Capricorn until about 03:55, then Aquarius
mind and voice
Born before about 03:55: Mercury in Capricorn
Mercury in Capricorn thinks methodically, and Kate tends to communicate in a measured, practical way that people trust. The focus on a useful conclusion can be so strong that ideas which have not yet proven their worth are dismissed. Kate will often get straight to the point in a conversation other people expected to be casual.
Born after about 03:55: Mercury in Aquarius
In Kate's chart, Mercury in Aquarius describes thinking that is original and a step removed from convention, and communication that works best through ideas rather than small talk. The stubborn streak is holding a position out of principle after the evidence has moved on. In a group, this is the person who asks the question nobody else thought to ask.
Venus in Aquarius loves as a friend first, and values independence, shared ideas and a partner who allows plenty of room. Kate 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.
Mars in Taurus acts deliberately and sticks with a course once chosen, and its anger builds slowly but takes a long time to cool once it arrives. At times Kate may dig in out of stubbornness rather than conviction. It takes real provocation to make this Mars snap, and the rattled feeling tends to last a while afterwards.
Jupiter in Aquarius
17° Aquarius 53' at midday
growth and excess
Jupiter in Aquarius grows through community, ideas and causes bigger than one life. Kate 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.
Saturn in Gemini builds discipline around clear expression, and it often begins with doubt about whether an idea is good enough to say out loud. For Kate that would mean overpreparing before speaking or writing anything. Once the self-consciousness eases, the result can be someone unusually precise and credible with words.
Uranus in Libra
27° Libra 39' at midday
freedom, generational
Kate 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
8° Sagittarius 48' at midday
imagination, generational
Neptune in Sagittarius is the dream of a generation: grand systems of belief and utopian journeys. What belongs to Kate in it may be a hopeful conviction that the right philosophy will resolve a practical problem.
Pluto in Libra
6° Libra 48' at midday ℞
power, generational
Pluto in Libra is the signature of the generation Kate 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 Kate Moss’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.
Venus trine Pluto
about 1.0° at midday
With Venus trine Pluto, affection and the capacity for change tend to strengthen each other in Kate Moss's chart, the kind of pairing that gives relationships staying power through hard times. Depth can arrive here without constant upheaval, and that is rarer, and more durable, than the intensity some people mistake for closeness.
Venus square Mars
about 1.0° at midday
Desire and the need for harmony can clash where Venus squares Mars, and Kate may be caught between wanting something and wanting to keep the peace. What the aspect asks for is a want voiced directly, before it leaks out sideways.
Venus sextile Neptune
about 1.0° at midday
Romance and creative warmth tend to be within easy reach for Kate, thanks to a gentle working link between affection and imagination. The tenderness is soft and pleasant, not an intense longing, and it is the sort that makes ordinary moments with someone feel a little more meaningful.
Sun square Uranus
about 1.7° at midday
When the Sun is square Uranus, Kate's identity keeps bumping against a need to break from convention, which can look like sudden changes of direction that surprise the people nearby. The skill is choosing those disruptions rather than letting restlessness choose them.
Saturn trine Uranus
about 1.7° at midday
This trine lets Kate build lasting structures that still leave room for change, because discipline and independence are allies here. Consistency and originality coexist with ease, and neither of them has to be given up to make room for the other.
Mercury square Uranus
about 2.9° at midday
With Mercury square Uranus, the mind can jump so quickly that other people struggle to follow, or Kate may dismiss a slower approach that had merit. A good idea, paced, gives other people the chance to use it.
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.

How this page is made
Planet positions are computed with the astronomy-engine ephemeris and checked against Swiss Ephemeris. Birth dates and places come from Wikidata; birth times, where StarMap has one, come from Astro-Databank and are shown with their Rodden rating. The readings describe what a placement is traditionally taken to mean. They are written by StarMap for reflection and entertainment, not as statements about the person’s private life. New to charts?
