Astro-Databank: Katy PerryWhy your rising sign differs between apps
Katy Perry's entry once relied on an unofficial biography, and a reader flagged that the book might say 6:59 AM. Astro-Databank now quotes her birth certificate (number 84-4156) from the Santa Barbara County Clerk, giving 7:58 AM PDT on October 25, 1984, and rates it AA.
At 7:58 AM the ascendant was at 10°47′ Scorpio. That is roughly an hour inside the sign either way, so even the old 6:59 AM time would have given Scorpio too.
The Sun at 2°23′ Scorpio had just left Libra, two days earlier. The Moon at 17°57′ Scorpio is mid-sign. Sun, Moon and rising all in Scorpio: the rare triple Scorpio.

A triple Scorpio means all three of the big three sit in one sign, and here they all sit in the first house too. The tradition reads Scorpio as depth, loyalty, intensity and a talent for reinvention. Doubling and tripling it in the house of self and image makes the theme impossible to miss.
The Sun conjoins Pluto, three-tenths of a degree from exact. Pluto, the modern ruler of Scorpio, was in Scorpio from 1983 to 1995, so the sign itself is generational; the exact conjunction with the Sun is personal. Astrologers read Sun-Pluto as a person who transforms in public.
The Moon conjoins Saturn, under a degree apart. Saturn adds caution and seriousness to feeling. It is an interesting counterweight to a famously bright, playful pop persona, but that is a reading of a chart, not a statement about her.
The sky behind it
New Moon, 15.6°. Fire 3 · Earth 2 · Air 0 · Water 5; cardinal 2 · fixed 5 · mutable 3.
Mars, chart ruler
Five planets in Scorpio, and Mars in Capricorn
Sun, Moon, Mercury, Saturn and Pluto are all in Scorpio, a five-planet stellium in her first house. Next door, Venus, Uranus and Neptune are in Sagittarius in the second house, which the tradition reads as an expansive, adventurous sense of taste and a love of spectacle.
She was born just after a new moon: the Moon was about sixteen degrees ahead of the Sun. New-moon births are read in the tradition as fresh-start energy, a person who begins things.
The chart ruler, Mars, is in Capricorn, its exaltation, in the third house, joined by Jupiter. Mars in Capricorn is the disciplined, strategic Mars. Her Saturn return came in three passes from November 2013 to August 2014, around the release of Prism.
The sky behind it
Tightest aspects (orb): Sun conjunct Pluto 0.29°; Moon conjunct Saturn 0.87°; Mercury sextile Mars 2.42°; Mars sextile Saturn 2.67°; Neptune sextile Pluto 2.87°. Stelliums (3+ planets in a sign): Scorpio (Sun, Moon, Mercury, Saturn, Pluto); Sagittarius (Venus, Uranus, Neptune).
