Beystrology In the Stars

You’ve listened to “Virgo’s Groove” (among many others.) You know the queen knows a thing or two about astrology. What secrets does Beyoncé’s birth chart have to tell us? It turns out the stars align for Beyoncé in all sorts of ways. The real question is, can you keep up?

Let’s start with the obvious: yes, she’s a Virgo! In fact, she’s the Virgo. Born on September 4th, Beyoncé is a practically perfect representative of her sign. Virgo, an earth sign, is the workaholic of the zodiac. These are the people who want to do things right, down to the tiniest detail. It makes sense, after all. Bey’s famous for paying careful attention to every aspect of her art from her vocals to the dancing, whether delivering on to the visuals or the costumes, she has a vision and is diligent in bringing it into being.

But astrology says that Virgos typically prefer working behind the scenes—so why does Beyoncé thrive in the spotlight?

The answer lies in the rest of her birth chart. While the sun was in Virgo when Beyoncé was born, her birth chart shows us the position of all the other planets, too. They might be talked about less, but they have a lot to tell us!

Beyoncé’s birth chart is absolutely filled with planets in Libra: when she was born, Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, and Pluto were all in the sign of beauty, tact, and charm. This is a big deal! When three or more planets are in the same sign, astrologers call that a stellium—and Beyoncé has five planets in Libra. This means that even though her sun sign is hard-working Virgo, charismatic Libra plays an outsized role in her personality (and life!). Talk about star power. This is superstar power.

It’s a bit of an outdated stereotype that people with lots of Libra in their chart have especially beautiful, symmetrical faces—but when you look at Beyoncé, it’s not hard to think that there might be some truth to it! If you’ve ever wondered how her aesthetics, from photo shoots to videos to concerts, are always so on point—well, that’s the Libra influence at play.

Beyond this extravaganza of planets in elegant Libra, Mars—the planet of drive and ambition—is in Leo. Leo, the regal lion of the zodiac, loves to shine bright and perform. Of all twelve signs, this is the one that’s happiest at the center of attention. They have a reputation for loving drama and the spotlight. When a birth chart has planets in Leo, it’s a good indicator that the person possesses a special kind of star quality. If there’s one placement in Queen Bey’s chart that’s truly fit for a queen, it’s her Mars in Leo!

Her Leo Mars is also perfectly aligned with her North Node, a lesser-known but incredible cosmically important point in the birth chart that indicates your destiny in this lifetime. When two planets fall this close together in a chart, it means that they’re closely linked up with each other. In this case, it means that Beyoncé’s star power, her talent, her ability to put on an amazing show are deeply connected with her destiny.

The universe’s verdict is in: Beyoncé was literally born to be a star!
