Analysis of Katy Perry's astrological chart

Straightforward. This is how Katy Perry's profile may be summarised in a single word. Indeed, we seldom come across natal charts highlighting so brightly a given sign, in this case, Scorpio. Its weighting, compared to that of the other planets, amounts to 73%, which is huge.

To begin with, let us note that the chart displays a Sun-Pluto conjunction, very powerful because this planet is in its own sign. Moreover, it is the ruler of the chart, since the Ascendant is found in the 8th sign. Based on these features, we can say, without oversimplifying, that Katy Perry is extremely representative of Scorpio.

Born in a very observant family of Santa Barbara, she followed her parents' orders and attended the church assiduously. This is how she discovered gospel, attracted by what constitutes the song of music rebellion against racist America since the end of the 19th century. Already very Scorpio. Then, the portrait of the family becomes marked by some degree of marginality. Her parents were real hippies who came back from that period with a precarious financial situation. The Hudsons – this is their name, although Perry will drop the name later on – must regularly resort to social welfare. Scorpio is often forced to undergo financial issues, whether positively or negatively. This is an additional typical trait.

Katy Perry was exposed to failures. Her first attempt to become the pop star she believes that she is received a lukewarm welcome. She played the guitar, trying to find her personal style with more perseverance than other people. One day, an inspiring title enabled her to break through: everyone remembers I kissed a girl in 2008, a song coming as a bombshell exploding worldwide. The single was on top of the box office almost everywhere and sold over 12 million copies, the year record, all singers taken together. It is probably the blend of provocative lyrics – though not too much, because completely in the spirit of the times – and freshness, which worked.

The young singer walked the tightrope, banking on the sexy card, which matches Scorpio style, but also on frivolity, evolving in a comics-like acidulous world. This facet is influenced by Mercury in Scorpio, all the more powerful that he is rising. The quintessence of such planetary features can be felt in a song telling the story of a girl who kisses another girl although she is already in a committed relationship. The heroine declares that she is not in love, but that she did it to have fun. Scorpio is so fond of ambiguity! If I kissed a girl got a warm response from the gay community, of which Kate Perry became a major supporter, it was shocking for her parents, who sought comfort in prayers whenever they heard it on the radio. They were probably the only ones, since Kate Perry roamed TV studios and later will be kissed by... Miley Cyrus, another provocation queen! The fact remains that Kate Perry put her personal feelings in her lyrics. She was bold also in real life, and she got noticed through her pop star affairs. We all remember that she had a crush on Russell Brand in the summer of 2010, which ended up in a divorce 14 months later only. Extreme, isn't it?

To provide a full description of the young singer, it is necessary to underline the fact that she has a huge ego, since the Sun is part of her dominants. The planet gives her a definite taste for power and honours, even though it expresses itself in the Scorpio mode and therefore remains rather contained or hidden.

The planetary pattern of the chart must be considered as a whole. With all the planets posited between 2° Scorpio and 15° Capricorn, the natal chart displays a pattern known as "cluster". This causes a big concentration of energy, and suggests that one is an expert in some field, very skilled in some life areas, but quite handicapped when one is out of one's comfort zone. In which case, one may feel marginalised or victimised. This is what Perry sometimes experienced. Fortunately, her huge success helped her find some degree of balance. Actually, alongside Scorpio, Sagittarius is quite strong. This sign of enthusiasm shelters Venus, Neptune and Uranus, which soothes anxieties by increasing the desire to enjoy life.

In February 2015, Kate Perry excited the public at the opening of the Super Bowl when she appeared on a huge metal lion singing Roar. 110 million TV viewers watched her performance, the biggest audience figure ever recorded for a live broadcast on American TV.

The transit of Saturn on her planets in Scorpio may concern the follow-up of her first successes, bringing about intense moments but maybe the necessity to make sacrifices too. Saturn has recently entered Sagittarius for good on 18 September and will stay there until mid-December 2017. This transit will force Perry to concentrate on artistic and love matters. In the medium term, prospects are much more encouraging, because next year, Neptune will start sending a trine to the Ascendant. By the end of 2017, the news will be even better, since Jupiter will arrive in Scorpio. The planet of affluence heralds new summits for Miss Perry!
