Taylor Swift’s birth chart
Born 13 December 1989, at Reading Hospital, Pennsylvania. StarMap has no verified birth time yet.
Sagittarius Sun · Moon in Gemini or Cancer
Taylor Swift’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
Taylor Swift was born at Reading Hospital, Pennsylvania, on 13 December 1989, a Wednesday. The Sun was in Sagittarius, so Sagittarius is their zodiac sign. The Moon was in Gemini until about 02:50 and in Cancer afterwards, so the Moon sign turns on the birth time. Taylor turns 37 in 2026. StarMap has no verified birth time for Taylor, so the chart is cast for midday and leaves the houses out.
Earth carries the most weight: four of the nine planets whose sign does not depend on the birth time, against water three, fire one and air one. Cardinal signs hold five, fixed signs three and mutable signs one. Four planets stand together in Capricorn: Mercury, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. Closest of the aspects is the opposition between Mercury and Jupiter, about 1.4° 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: Jupiter. Over the course of the day the Moon went from full to waning gibbous.
StarMap's dataset holds 13 other people born on 13 December, among them Christopher Plummer, Jamie Foxx and Steve Buscemi. Wikidata links Taylor with seven people in the dataset: Taylor Lautner (listed as partners in 2009), Jake Gyllenhaal (listed as partners, 2010 to 2011), Harry Styles (listed as partners, 2012 to 2013), Tom Hiddleston (listed as partners in 2016) and three more.

Taylor Swift’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Sagittarius
about 21° Sagittarius at midday
A Sagittarius Sun seeks. Meaning, distance and the bigger picture are likely to pull Taylor Swift 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
Gemini or Cancer
Gemini until about 02:50, then Cancer (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.
Born before about 02:50: Moon in Gemini
The Moon in Gemini processes feeling by naming it. For Taylor, 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 02:50: Moon in Cancer
The Moon is at home in Cancer. For Taylor 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 Reading Hospital, Pennsylvania, at each hour of the day.
Taylor Swift’s rising sign, by birth time
StarMap has not verified a birth time for Taylor 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 13 December 1989, computed for Reading Hospital, Pennsylvania.

Taylor Swift’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Taylor Swift’s private life.
Growth, travel and ideas bigger than daily life are where Taylor Swift'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 Gemini or Cancer
Gemini until about 02:50, then Cancer
needs and habits
Born before about 02:50: Moon in Gemini
The Moon in Gemini runs its daily habits on conversation and mental stimulation, and Taylor 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 02:50: Moon in Cancer
With the Moon in Cancer, Taylor'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.
Mercury in Capricorn thinks methodically, and Taylor 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. Taylor will often get straight to the point in a conversation other people expected to be casual.
Venus in Aquarius loves as a friend first, and values independence, shared ideas and a partner who allows plenty of room. Taylor 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.
In Taylor's chart, Mars in Scorpio acts with focus and intensity, and its anger, when it surfaces, tends to be controlled, cutting and hard to forget. The risk with this Mars is holding on to a grievance well past its useful life. A calm exterior gives little warning before a sharp response.
Jupiter in Cancer
7° Cancer 39' at midday ℞
growth and excess
For Taylor, Jupiter in Cancer means growing by nurturing others and building a home that people want to return to. The excess can be protecting loved ones past the point they need it. Generosity here takes the form of home-cooked meals, open doors and an instinct to take in anyone who needs somewhere to land.
Saturn is at home in Capricorn, a placement that builds discipline as naturally as breathing and often takes on responsibility earlier than most. The doubt, for Taylor, may be never quite believing that enough has been achieved to relax. Others tend to recognise this kind of authority well before it is claimed.
Uranus in Capricorn
4° Capricorn 39' at midday
freedom, generational
Many people within a few years of Taylor's age share Uranus in Capricorn, the mark of a generation that dismantles and rebuilds old institutions and structures of authority. Personally, that can mean scepticism towards any system that asks for trust without having shown why it deserves it.
Neptune in Capricorn
11° Capricorn 20' at midday
imagination, generational
Neptune in Capricorn is shared by Taylor and about fourteen years of births. The imagination of the generation questions or idealises authority and ambition, often shaped by wide disillusionment with institutions. The personal version may be an uneasy relationship with conventional success.
Pluto in Scorpio
16° Scorpio 30' at midday
power, generational
Pluto is at home in Scorpio, and the generation born with it lives through profound upheavals in power, secrecy and shared taboos. Taylor's own share may be an unusually deep comfort with intensity that others would find overwhelming.
Aspects in Taylor Swift’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.
Mercury opposition Jupiter
about 1.4° at midday
With Mercury opposite Jupiter, Taylor Swift's own considered opinion has to compete with other people's big claims and grand theories, and it is easy to get swept into someone else's certainty. For Taylor, trusting their own careful thinking usually works better than borrowing that confidence.
Saturn conjunction Neptune
about 2.1° at midday
Taylor tends to give a vague dream a workable shape, because Saturn conjunct Neptune ties discipline closely to imagination. It makes them unusually able to turn inspiration into something lasting, provided doubt is not allowed to talk them out of an idea before it has been tested.
Mercury conjunction Neptune
about 2.3° at midday
With Mercury conjunct Neptune, Taylor'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.
Jupiter opposition Uranus
about 3.0° at midday
One side of this opposition wants Taylor to expand along a familiar path; the other wants them to leave it entirely for something untested. Neither impulse needs to win outright, and trying the new direction on a smaller scale first tends to serve them well.
Saturn sextile Pluto
about 3.0° at midday
No crisis is needed to bring out Taylor's resilience, because discipline and depth are on working terms in this sextile. Long, steady effort tends to be rewarded in ways that build quietly over time, not all at once.
Jupiter opposition Neptune
about 3.7° at midday
The choice, as this opposition frames it for Taylor, is between pursuing a real opportunity and getting lost chasing an idealised version that does not quite exist. Testing an exciting idea against the plain facts protects the optimism; it does not undermine 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.
