Ariana Grande's birth chart, timed by her dad
Her father tweeted 9:16 PM when a fan asked. That gives a Cancer Sun, a Libra Moon and Capricorn rising, plus a chart with no fire at all.

The time came from the person who cut the cord
Asked for the exact time, her father wrote back: 9:16 PM. Long labour, two Godfather films.

Astro-Databank: Ariana GrandeWhy your rising sign differs between apps
Most celebrity birth times come from a document. This one came from a proud parent on Twitter. A fan asked her father, Edward Butera, "exactly what time was she born?" and he answered 9:16 PM. He added that the labour was long and that they watched The Godfather parts one and two while they waited.
Astro-Databank rates a time remembered by a parent as A, "from memory," one step below a birth certificate. It is the grade the archive gives when the source was there and has no reason to guess. A father who remembers which films were on is not a bad witness.
At 9:16 PM in Boca Raton on June 26, 1993, the eastern horizon sat at 20°57′ Capricorn. There is room for error here: the rising sign stays Capricorn for about 87 minutes earlier and 35 minutes later, so a slightly rounded memory would not change it.

The Cancer Sun sits in the seventh house, the house of partners and the people across the table from you. Cancer is the sign of home, protection and very long emotional memory, and Mercury is there with it, so the way she talks and thinks is coloured the same way.
The Libra Moon is in the tenth house, the most public spot in the chart, joined by Jupiter. In the tradition a Libra Moon wants things to feel fair and lovely; it reads the room and tunes itself to it. Put it at the top of the chart and astrologers would say that public harmony is close to emotional need.
Capricorn rising is the twist people do not expect. Capricorn is the serious, structured sign, the one that plays the long game. It sits under all that softness like a steel frame. Uranus and Neptune are in Capricorn too, in the first house: shared with everyone born in 1993, but placed right on her ascendant.
The sky behind it
First Quarter, 91.4°. Fire 0 · Earth 4 · Air 2 · Water 4; cardinal 6 · fixed 2 · mutable 2.
Saturn, chart ruler
Zero planets in fire, and a Venus that hums
Count the elements and something jumps out: no planets in fire signs. Four in earth, four in water, two in air, none in Aries, Leo or Sagittarius. Astrologers read missing elements as things a person goes looking for rather than things they start with. Stage lights might count.
The other standout is Venus in Taurus, in its own sign and in the fifth house of creativity, romance and play. It forms a near-exact trine to both Neptune and Uranus, each within a third of a degree. The tradition would call that a voice and an aesthetic with a dreamy, slightly electric edge. Sun square Jupiter, also within a third of a degree, is the classic "more is more" aspect.
Her chart ruler is Saturn, in Pisces in the third house of voice and communication. Her Saturn return was exact on March 8, 2023, in one pass.
The sky behind it
Tightest aspects (orb): Venus trine Neptune 0.32°; Sun square Jupiter 0.33°; Venus trine Uranus 0.34°; Uranus conjunct Neptune 0.66°; Moon conjunct Jupiter 1.08°.
