Naomi Klein’s birth chart
Born 8 May 1970, in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. StarMap has no verified birth time yet.
Taurus Sun · Moon in Gemini or Cancer
Naomi Klein’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
Naomi Klein was born in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, on 8 May 1970, a Friday. The Sun was in Taurus, so Taurus is their zodiac sign. The Moon changed sign at about 22:15, from Gemini to Cancer; which of the two is the Moon sign depends on the hour of birth. Naomi turns 56 in 2026. StarMap has not verified a birth time yet, so the chart is cast for midday on that date and has no houses.
By element the count is four earth, four air, one water and no fire, leaving out the Moon, whose sign depends on the birth time. By modality the count is four fixed, three mutable and two cardinal. Sun, Mercury and Saturn all fall in Taurus. The tightest aspect is Venus conjunction Mars, about 0.4° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Five planets were retrograde: Mercury, Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. The Moon was a waxing crescent.
StarMap's dataset holds 19 other people born on 8 May, among them Enrique Iglesias, David Attenborough and John Michael Talbot. Luis Enrique was born on the very same day.

Naomi Klein’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Taurus
about 17° Taurus at midday
A Taurus Sun builds. Comfort, steadiness and things that last probably matter more to Naomi Klein 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
Gemini or Cancer
Gemini until about 22:15, then Cancer (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.
Born before about 22:15: Moon in Gemini
The Moon in Gemini processes feeling by naming it. For Naomi, 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.
Born after about 22:15: Moon in Cancer
The Moon is at home in Cancer. For Naomi that points to feelings that are tidal, strong and closely tied to the people they love, and to a memory for how everything felt. This Moon is restored by home, by cooking, and by being needed.
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 Montreal, Quebec, Canada, at each hour of the day.
Naomi Klein’s rising sign, by birth time
StarMap has not verified a birth time for Naomi 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 May 1970, computed for Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

Naomi Klein’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Naomi Klein’s private life.
A Taurus Sun finds purpose in building something that lasts, and Naomi Klein'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.
Moon in Gemini or Cancer
Gemini until about 22:15, then Cancer
needs and habits
Born before about 22:15: Moon in Gemini
The Moon in Gemini runs its daily habits on conversation and mental stimulation, and Naomi 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.
Born after about 22:15: Moon in Cancer
With the Moon in Cancer, Naomi's needs tend to be tied to home, routine and the people they check in on daily. Small rituals are steadying: a particular meal, a particular chair. The tension is reading other people's moods so closely that those moods can be taken on without noticing.
With Mercury in Taurus, Naomi is likely to think slowly and thoroughly, and a conclusion once reached is rarely revisited without good reason. The communication style is plain and practical rather than showy. A new idea that clashes with what they already believe may have to wait a while for a hearing.
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. Naomi 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.
With Mars in Gemini, Naomi is likely to act through words, argument and quick manoeuvring rather than force, and anger to come out sharp and verbal. Arguments can be won without the conflict underneath ever being resolved. A disagreement can still be under debate long after the other person just wants it to end.
Jupiter in Libra
28° Libra 59' at midday ℞
growth and excess
In Naomi's chart, Jupiter in Libra suggests growth through partnership and a gift for bringing people together. Excess here looks like pleasing people so broadly that every expectation becomes a commitment. Someone with this Jupiter is often the connector whose introductions and events other people benefit from more than they realise.
Saturn in Taurus gathers its discipline around security and the things a person relies on, and Naomi is likely to take very little for granted. The doubt is a fear that stability could disappear, even when it clearly has not. This placement likes to know what things cost before committing, and tends to stay careful even in steady times.
Uranus in Libra
5° Libra 09' at midday ℞
freedom, generational
Naomi 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 Scorpio
29° Scorpio 51' at midday ℞
imagination, generational
Neptune in Scorpio marks a long season that Naomi shares with many people of a similar age. Its imagination is drawn to the hidden, the taboo and the transformative, with a wider cultural fascination for secrets and endings. In an individual that can be a pull towards mystery for its own sake.
Pluto in Virgo
24° Virgo 52' at midday ℞
power, generational
Pluto in Virgo is shared by Naomi and many people born in the same span of years. That generation lives through deep change in work, in how services are organised, and in daily life itself. In one person that can be intensity around control, order and how much any one system can carry.
Aspects in Naomi Klein’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 conjunction Mars
about 0.4° at midday
With Venus conjunct Mars, affection and drive are closely linked, so, for Naomi Klein, wanting something and going after it are likely to feel like one impulse. The aspect brings plenty of romantic and creative energy; its test is letting the wanting outlast the first chase.
Sun conjunction Mercury
about 1.1° at midday
With the Sun conjunct Mercury, Naomi's sense of self and way of thinking are fused, so an opinion can feel like a statement of who they are. They are likely to speak their mind readily, and telling a passing thought apart from their identity is a practice worth keeping up.
Sun conjunction Saturn
about 4.8° at midday
With the Sun conjunct Saturn, identity is built through discipline and steady effort, often with an early sense that a place has to be worked for rather than assumed. It tends to make Naomi reliable and serious, and the growth comes from believing that they have done enough to rest.
Mercury conjunction Saturn
about 5.9° at midday
With Mercury conjunct Saturn, Naomi's thinking is likely to be careful and structured, and they tend to say only what they are sure of. That makes their word worth taking, and the risk is that caution keeps an idea back until it feels perfectly finished.
Mercury trine Pluto
about 6.2° at midday
Naomi's thinking and depth support each other, which gives them a natural ability to work through complex or hidden material without getting overwhelmed. With Mercury trine Pluto, research and difficult conversations both come easily, and Naomi can stay with a hard subject long after others have looked away.
Sun trine Pluto
about 7.2° at midday
Naomi's sense of self and capacity for change support each other, so they are likely to meet hard periods with resilience and come out of them still themselves. A Sun-Pluto trine is deep strength, and it does not need to be loud.
One more aspect, listed without a reading. It is between two of Uranus, Neptune and Pluto, whose aspects hold for years at a time, so everyone born while it 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?
