Astro-Databank: Kendrick LamarWhy your rising sign differs between apps
There are no rival times in Kendrick Lamar's entry. Astro-Databank lists 3:04 PM PDT on June 17, 1987, in Compton, California, from a birth certificate in hand, and rates it AA.
At that minute the ascendant was at 23°53′ Libra. It holds Libra for roughly half an hour either side, so this is a stable rising sign. The Sun sits at 26°11′ Gemini, and the Moon at 19°20′ Pisces, both comfortably inside their signs.
With a time this solid, the house placements below are as dependable as public chart data gets. We use whole-sign houses, the oldest system, and say so.

- Gemini season birthday? Compare your Sun and Venus with his below.
The Gemini Sun at 26°11′ is in the ninth house, alongside Venus. Gemini is the sign of language, wit and many voices; the ninth is the house of philosophy, belief and the big questions. Astrologers do not have to strain to connect that with an artist whose albums are built around characters and perspectives.
The Pisces Moon is in the sixth house of work and daily discipline. Pisces is compassionate, imaginative and sensitive to the suffering of others in the tradition. It trines Mars in Cancer within about a degree and a third, which is read as feeling turned into action.
Libra rising is the balanced, considered front door. Its ruler, Venus, sits with the Sun in Gemini, in the same ninth house. When the chart ruler joins the Sun, astrologers say the whole chart speaks with one voice.
The sky behind it
Last Quarter, 263.2°. Fire 3 · Earth 1 · Air 2 · Water 4; cardinal 4 · fixed 1 · mutable 5.
Venus, chart ruler
Mercury and Mars at the top of the chart
In a whole-sign chart, Mercury and Mars are both in Cancer in the tenth house, the career point. Mercury is the planet of words; Mars of drive and fight. Cancer adds memory, family and where you come from. Astrologers would read that as a public voice rooted in home ground. It is hard not to think of an album titled good kid, m.A.A.d city, but the tradition only gives you the symbol.
The Sun opposes Uranus, within a degree and a half, across the Gemini-Sagittarius axis: the aspect of the disrupter. Jupiter in Aries in the seventh house trines Uranus, within eight-tenths of a degree.
His Saturn return was exact on November 26, 2016, the season between untitled unmastered. and DAMN.
The sky behind it
Tightest aspects (orb): Neptune sextile Pluto 0.48°; Jupiter trine Uranus 0.78°; Moon trine Mars 1.37°; Sun opposite Uranus 1.50°; Mercury conjunct Mars 1.56°.
