What his chart says about him
Who he is
Sun in Sagittarius, the Explorer
Restless in the best way. Wants to see more, learn more and say exactly what is on his mind. His purpose and his feelings are on the same side: the life he chooses and the comfort he needs go together.
The Sun sextile the Moon (almost exact at 0.9°)
What he needs
Moon in Libra, the Peacemaker
Feels most at peace when the people around him are at peace. Needs beauty, balance and someone to share things with. Restless feelings: he feels most at home where things are new.
The Moon conjunction Uranus (wide at 3.5°)
How he loves
Venus in Sagittarius or Scorpio, the Adventurer
Loves openly and with good humour. Needs freedom, honesty and someone to explore the world with. Romance without limits: he falls for ideals as much as people, and his taste runs to the dreamy and the beautiful.
Venus conjunction Neptune (close at 1.2°) · For a birth before 9:41 a.m., his Venus was in Scorpio.
How he thinks
Mercury in Sagittarius, the Philosopher
A wide-ranging mind. Learns by asking, travelling and following a question as far as it goes. A quick, direct mind: he makes decisions fast and says what he means.
Mercury sextile Mars (almost exact at 0.6°)
What drives him
Mars in Aquarius, the Rebel
Driven by ideas and fairness. Fights for change and does things differently. Big drive and big confidence: he goes after large goals, and his enthusiasm carries others along.
Mars trine Jupiter (wide at 6.0°)
The shape of his chart
In his chart, his feelings, his optimism and his independence (the Moon, Jupiter and Uranus) gather in Libra, and that part of life draws his attention first. Most of his planets are in air signs: ideas and people.
The sky the day he was born
The Moon
Jay-Z was born five days before a new Moon. At noon that day the Moon was 26% lit, in Libra. Tonight’s Moon
The day
