Famous Musicians astro notes

So, I have seen a lot of discussion about what placements do musicians have and I decided to do my own research and I dived into many charts on Astrotheme. Some of the celebrities charts are more or less verified while others have an unknown birth time. I tried my best to discuss elements that few other posts have to keep it interesting. I hope you enjoyed these astro notes and as always please check out my masterlist and show support by liking or reblogging!

Pisces influence: Many musicians tend to have either a Pisces Moon or a pisces degree moon. I am a pianist and while my moon is in Capricorn it is in the 12th degree (Pisces Degrees are 12, 24) and in the 12th house traditionally ruled by Pisces.Lang Lang is another pianist that has a Pisces moon. I have been praised for my musicality and Lang Lang is one of the more expressive pianists out there.Whitney Houston also had a Pisces Rising at 8 degrees.

Libra influence: Libra is not often brought up in placements musicians have but it makes sense because Libra is ruled by Venus the goddess of beauty. So is Taurus, but that is discussed ad nauseum here.I noticed this in the charts for Van Cliburn, Yo Yo Ma and Vladimir Horowitz, three famous classical musicians of the last century. Van Cliburn had his ascendant in Libra, Yo Yo Ma and Horowitz have their suns in Libra. I go into greater detail for Van Cliburn down below if you are interested. Britney Spears also has a Libra Rising and she was known for appearance at the beginning of her career. She became the It girl of her generation because of her ‘aesthetics’ and ‘vibes’. She also has Saturn and Pluto in Libra in the first house which represents her father. Her father was overbearing and controlled her career and her free will. She kept silent for many years since Libra wants to be fair and balanced and they can find it hard to speak out. I am so happy that she finally freed!

Leo influence: Leo rules the sun, and Apollo was the god of the sun so it would make sense that leos are also naturally good at music, poetry, healing just like Apollo. Leos also have a natural flair for the dramatics and they are natural performers which really helps in music. I have a Leo sun and Mercury, Yo Yo Ma has his Jupiter in Leo, Van Cliburn has his Moon at 0 degrees Leo. Lana Del Ray has her moon in Leo conjunct her MC in Leo in the 10th house.

Cancer influence: The moon rules Cancer and emotions making Cancer placements common amongst musicians. Taylor Swift for example has her Vertex, Moon and Jupiter all in Cancer. It is interesting that her mercury is opposite these planets in Capricorn. Capricorn Mercuries are straightforward and steady, wise beyond their years. Taylor Swift is known for her masterful lyrics writing lyrics far above her years in her teens. She is also a master at understanding and utilizing emotions in her writing and music. One of the best examples of this is the All Too Well 10 minute version because it combines hard hitting lyrics with a depth of emotions. She makes you feel a 10 minute story about a relationship that happened a decade ago. Lana Del Ray also has Sun, Mars and Mercury in Cancer in the 8th house. This explains why she writes moody music. She would be unafraid of discussing taboo topics in her music. Britney Spears has her MC and North Node in Cancer but her chart is predominantly in the 1st-4th houses making her relatively introverted in real life. It is almost like she puts on a public facade but privately she is something completely different.

Fame Aspects

We all know that there are many great musicians who do not go on to become famous. So there are some “fame” indicators to be found in famous musician’s charts. No surprise that there are usually planets,angles or asteroids at 5, 17 and 29 degrees (Leo Degrees). Taylor Swift for example has her North Node at 17 degrees Aquarius. Lana Del Ray also has her North Node at 17°. Another degree for longevity in fame is the 28 degrees (Cancer Degree). Miley Cyrus has her Gemini Rising at 28 degrees (I explained more below). Interestingly enough, Whitney Houston has her MC at 18 degrees which is a Virgo degree and she has only become more legendary after her untimely death. Whitney also had her Moon at 17 degrees. Several famous musicians like Britney Spears, Whitney Houston, Miley Cyrus, Chester Bennington and Frank Ocean had their Jupiter trine Midheaven. Jupiter trine Midheaven natives have luck in their career, they can make lemonade out of lemons. In general, most famous musicians either have a prominent MC/tenth house or prominent Rising and North Node. All of this makes sense since MC/Tenth house rules public persona and career while the Rising is another indictator of how we appear to the world. The North Node is all about our destiny, or what we came to this earth to do.

Misc Notes:

My favorite classical composer is Sergei Rachmaninoff (seriously, listen to Rach 2 or Rach 3, they are the soundtrack of my life). He had a rough life and wrote one of his best concertos (Rach 2) after being hypnotized. He had Sun and Mercury in Aries which makes sense because he forged ahead and revolutionized piano music. He also had Saturn exactly opposite his Uranus which also makes sense because he faced many abrupt changes in his career and life. He had to pivot his career many many times and he spent most of it depressed (hence the need for the hypnosim).

Van Cliburn, who is known for his miraculous win at the Tchaikovsky International Piano Competition in the middle of a cold war is someone who had an ASC conjunct jupiter in the first house. This conjunction especially in Libra gave him endless fortune and good luck in developing his talents. Even in the height of the Cold War, in a competition set up for young soviet pianists, Van Cliburn a pianist from Texas wowed the judges. Libra is a sign about balance and bringing peace which Van Cliburn did through his music. Watch him play the amazing Tchaikovsky Piano Concerto #1 here. His Part of Fortune is also conjunct his Jupiter. He is also an air dominant with a secondary water dominant which makes sense as he was expressive in his musicality. He was also someone who played at a high technical level. He has the least earth which makes sense for a musician since they tend to live in their feels. He also has a strong dominance in his chart in the angular houses (1,4,7,10) which can indicate an unusual life which he certainly led! He also has a cardinal dominance which also makes sense because he was constantly forging ahead in his career.

Ariana Grande Pluto opposite Venus - she’s known for who she dated and who she got engaged to. In fact, one of her most famous/popular songs is Thank U Next, a song that talks about all her exes. People are intrigued by her relationships and that helps fuel her music career.

Miley Cyrus

MC in Aquarius: Again, Miley is someone who values being unique. She not only played 2 different people in her most famous role on TV her every era has been unique. Since leaving Disney, she has not given a d**** about how she looks. She’s rocking a mullet right now, she once sang on a literal wrecking ball for a video. Truly all of her provocative performances are unique and talked about in the media for months. Miley could care less if she’s unique and does things other artists wouldn’t.

Gemini Rising at 28°: 28 degrees is the degree for longevity in fame. She first rose into prominence playing Hannah Montana at the age of 13. She has stayed just as famous for the last ten years both in her personal life and in her professional life. There have been many other child disney stars who have fallen off the map but Miley has always stayed in the spotlight. Gemini Risings are also known as the twins and Miley’s most famous role Hannah Montana had her portraying two different personas. She also came out with an album Hannah Montana 2: Meet Miley Cyrus which was a double album. There is a duality to her public persona, her career and even her appearance.

Well that’s it for these Astro notes! Let me know if this was helpful.If you are a musician let me know if you have any of these placements.
