The quick version
Capricorn Sun
Capricorn SunAmbition wearing a plain coat.
Catherine, Princess of Wales's Sun was in Capricorn for the whole of January 9, 1982, so no birth time is needed to settle it. Traditional Capricorn readings associate the sign with ambition, structure and the long game: building slowly toward a position that will hold. Astrologers describe it as the cardinal earth sign, ruled by Saturn, and read it for discipline and reserve. The corresponding tension is severity, described in the tradition as a seriousness that can be turned on the self as hard as on the work.
Metal Rooster
Metal RoosterSharp eye, sharper tongue.
Catherine, Princess of Wales was born on January 9, 1982, which falls in a Metal Rooster year of the Chinese calendar. Traditional Rooster readings emphasise precision, candour and pride in appearance and in work done properly. The Chinese almanacs describe the Rooster as observant and punctual, the sign that notices and says so. The corresponding caution in the tradition is vanity, and a frankness that arrives before anyone asked for it.
Life Path 3
Life Path 3Creative, loud, warm.
Catherine, Princess of Wales's birth date, January 9, 1982, reduces to Life Path 3 under the numerology method AsterNym uses. Traditional Life Path 3 readings associate the number with expression: words, humour, performance and making things. Numerologists describe it as the path of the communicator, sociable and quick. The corresponding tension is dispersal, with the caution that many things begun and few finished is the classical pattern the tradition warns this number about.

Catherine, Princess of Wales’s Chiron, Ceres, Eros, Hygiea and Lilith
Four minor bodies and the mean lunar apogee, placed in the same tropical zodiac as the planets above.

Chiron, Ceres, Eros and Hygiea positions come from JPL Horizons; Black Moon Lilith is the mean apogee, the point most published Lilith tables use. The readings are the modern tradition’s, not AsterNym’s. Without a birth time the degree is the noon value and the day's movement is shown alongside it.

Where this data comes from
Catherine, Princess of Wales’s birth date and birthplace come from Wikidata Q10479, released under CC0, as do the occupations, works, teams and awards in the biography above. No documented birth time is available, so this chart is rated X on the Rodden scale, the astrological convention for how well evidenced a birth time is. Time-dependent results use a clearly labelled reference time and should not be read as their exact birth chart. Entries are matched to Wikidata by entity id rather than by name, kept only at day precision, and dropped where sources disagree on the date.
