Katherine Heigl’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Sagittarius
about 2° Sagittarius at midday
A Sagittarius Sun seeks. Meaning, distance and the bigger picture are likely to pull Katherine Heigl 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
Virgo
in this sign all day; the degree depends on the birth time
A Virgo Moon feels by fixing. When something is wrong, Katherine is likely to look for the practical cause and to calm down by tidying, planning or being useful. The lesson of this Moon is to accept help without a to-do list attached.
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 Columbia Hospital for Women, Washington, D.C., at each hour of the day.

Katherine Heigl’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Katherine Heigl’s private life.
Growth, travel and ideas bigger than daily life are where Katherine Heigl'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.
The Moon in Virgo runs towards order, and a messy space or an unfinished list can unsettle Katherine's mood more than most people would guess. Small, useful tasks are calming. The trouble can start when Katherine's own needs become another chore to get right instead of something to enjoy.
Katherine'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 Scorpio loves intensely and privately, and Katherine is likely to value depth and total honesty over ease. Testing loyalty can create the very distance this placement fears most. There is an all-or-nothing quality to how this Venus commits, with little interest in anything in between.
Mars in Sagittarius acts boldly and wants room to move while doing it, and its anger flares fast over anything that feels like a limit on freedom. Katherine may speak bluntly in the heat of the moment and smooth it over later. Given the choice, this placement walks away from a fight rather than staying to work it out.
Jupiter in Leo
9° Leo 03' at midday
growth and excess
Jupiter in Leo grows through creative confidence and a willingness to take up space. For Katherine the overreach may be overselling their own contribution or expecting more credit than a situation calls for. There is a natural showmanship here that lifts a room, and occasionally a story that grows a little in the retelling.
Competence is what Saturn in Virgo builds discipline around, often driven by a fear of not yet having done enough to deserve rest. Katherine may feel like a fraud even when the track record says otherwise. The usual result is someone quietly excellent at something long before they will admit it out loud.
Uranus in Scorpio
17° Scorpio 39' at midday
freedom, generational
Much of Katherine's age group has Uranus in Scorpio. It changes attitudes to power, secrecy and what is held in common, often while living through upheavals in institutions once considered permanent. In an individual it tends to be a low tolerance for hidden agendas.
Neptune in Sagittarius
17° Sagittarius 26' at midday
imagination, generational
Neptune in Sagittarius is the dream of a generation: grand systems of belief and utopian journeys. What belongs to Katherine in it may be a hopeful conviction that the right philosophy will resolve a practical problem.
Pluto in Libra
18° Libra 15' at midday
power, generational
Pluto in Libra is the signature of the generation Katherine 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 Katherine Heigl’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 conjunction Neptune
about 0.9° at midday
Drive is idealistic and imaginative where Mars meets Neptune, and Katherine Heigl is likely to act most powerfully in the service of something they believe in. The energy is inspired. What it wants is a big vision grounded in a plan specific enough to carry out.
Venus square Jupiter
about 1.4° at midday
Under this square, Katherine's generosity can run past what is sustainable, whether in time, affection or promises made in a warm moment. The warmth is sincere; the work is matching it to a scale that can be kept up over the months that follow the excitement, not only the first one.
Mars sextile Pluto
about 1.8° at midday
This sextile joins drive to depth, so resilience and follow-through are likely to be available to Katherine without constant conflict. Katherine is likely to handle pressure better than most, and at a lower cost than expected, largely because a fight is rarely needed to prove the point.
Mercury sextile Pluto
about 3.3° at midday
Katherine's thinking can reach their depth when it needs to, which gives them insight without unnecessary intensity. With this aspect they are likely to notice what others miss, which makes them a useful person to have in a hard conversation.
Mars square Saturn
about 3.4° at midday
Katherine's drive can meet resistance, from outside obstacles or from private doubt, and frustration builds when progress feels blocked. Under this square, every stretch of steady work done anyway turns that resistance into competence, the kind that is there when it is needed most.
Mercury conjunction Neptune
about 4.1° at midday
With Mercury conjunct Neptune, Katherine's thinking is likely to be imaginative and impressionistic, working through images and instinct as much as straight logic. It is a creative and intuitive strength, at its best when a compelling idea has been held up against the facts before being embraced.
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?
