Kanye West, singer, was born on June 8, 1977 in Atlanta. With the Sun in Gemini, Kanye's chart begins from a Gemini core. Without a recorded birth time, the Moon and angles can't be pinned precisely, but the planetary placements by date still hold.

Astrological profile

With Sun and Jupiter conjunct in Gemini (18° and 15°) the chart radiates a restless mental energy that craves variety, dialogue and rapid idea‑exchange. The Gemini emphasis endows a quick‑silver intellect, a talent for weaving together disparate concepts and a need to be heard. The Moon, placed in sensitive Pisces (16°), tempers this mental agility with a deep‑seated empathy and a vivid inner world; emotional life is filtered through imagination, idealism and a propensity to absorb the moods of the collective. Because the birth time is unknown, the Ascendant and house positions are only approximate, but the concentration of personal planets in solid Taurus—Mercury at 26°, Venus at 2°, Mars at 2°—grounds the chart in sensual, practical expression. Thought (Mercury), affection (Venus) and drive (Mars) all share a stubborn, earthy focus on material stability, aesthetic comfort and steady progress.

Saturn in Leo (13°) adds a disciplined urge toward self‑assertion, seeking structure in creative self‑presentation and a need for acknowledgment that can fuel perseverance. Uranus in Scorpio (retrograde, 8°) injects a transformative, unconventional streak that rebels against surface appearances, urging deep psychological renewal. Neptune’s retrograde placement in Sagittarius (15°) further colors the chart with visionary, philosophically inclined dreaming, while Pluto in Libra (retrograde, 11°) points to profound re‑shaping of relationships and a subtle drive toward balance through intense inner change. Together these outer planets shade the Gemini‑Taurus core with a blend of visionary idealism, disciplined ambition, and a willingness to overhaul personal values in pursuit of authentic expression.
