Elon Musk birth chart explained

SOUTH AFRICAN businessman turned Canadian-American tech magnate Elon Musk is an enigma.

However, we didn't let that stop us from trying to understand his personality traits and quirks through his natal birth chart.

Sun in Cancer

Those with Sun in Cancer are known for being protective of their egos and ideas.

They are symbolized by the crab, which has a tough outer exterior but is pretty vulnerable without its shell.

Sun Cancers are also known for being incredibly tech-savvy and imaginative: it sounds like Elon, no?

They are also known for wanting to be involved with everything until they get bored or face backlash.

This could be seen in Elon's takeover of Twitter and his recent decision to step down as CEO.

One's Sun sign determines who they are on a broad level, personality-wise.

It shows itself through general character traits and represents who you are to others.

Moon in Virgo

Those with Moon in Virgo are known for being structured and thriving when they have a solid routine.

They are also likely to be highly analytical and are known for wanting to quell chaos into order.

If the Moon in Virgo feels they have a better way of doing things, they will speak their minds and offer suggestions, even at the risk of sounding blunt.

Elon's Moon in Virgo is evident when one considers his meeting rules.

Elon seemingly attempts to turn his company's time away from pointless meetings and towards more time for productivity, even though some may consider his last bullet point crass.

Your moon sign represents your emotions and your "inner you."

However, from what we know about Elon, approximately 100 hours of his week are spent working, meaning he may not have much space between who he is emotionally and who he is on the outside.

Mercury in Cancer

If you were born with Mercury in Cancer, you were born with your planet of logic underneath the sign of emotions.

This means that your gut reactions to things often control your mind and your mouth.

Mercury rules our routines, thoughts, and communication styles.

With his Mercury in Cancer, it's no wonder that Elon isn't here for the surface-level drama or fluffy conversations.

Instead, he's much more focused on getting his ideas out of his mind and into the world.

Your Mercury sign is about how you communicate your ideas to the world.

It can also represent how you value learning and new information.

Venus in Gemini

If you were born with your Venus under Gemini, you know how to multitask.

Whether juggling relationships or putting your toes into multiple side hustles, you can handle the heat.

Elon is the King regarding the tech hustle and bustle of multitasking.

He once told a journalist that he would instead be flown in his private jet from LA to Houston than drive, as it maximized his working hours.

This comes from the same man working to produce eco-friendly cars en masse; we suppose his C02 footprint will eventually be balanced.

Elon is also super curious and very intelligent, both traits of a Venus in Gemini.

Your Venus sign represents who and what you value.

It represents your passions in life and can be a driving force behind them.

It can also represent how you understand and feel pleasure.

Mars in Aquarius

Those with their Mars in Aquarius are often known for their quirky or off-the-wall ideas, followed by their equally zany ways of achieving them.

They are futuristic thinkers who are driven by humanitarian ideas.

If creating Teslas wasn't a big enough flex for futuristic thinkers, SpaceX probably is.

Your Mars sign represents your energy, ambitions, and drive to reach your goals.

It is also the sign that represents your sexuality.

Jupiter in Scorpio

Jupiter is a giant planet and is considered the bringer of luck and good fortune.

Jupiter tends to expand the possibilities in our lives for good luck and blessings.

Under Scorpio, these blessings are often found in a magnetic profile of a personality.

The Jupiter in Scorpio combination can bring an intensity that may seem borderline obsessive.

Elon's 100-hour work weeks and skipping breakfast to save time may seem like an "Elon" thing to do, but in reality, it could be his Jupiter in Scorpio.

He was so capable of devotion to his work that he bent luck in his favor-- that's the power of Jupiter in Scorpio.

Your Jupiter sign highlights areas in your life that could use a little extra work to make a little magic.

Saturn in Gemini

If you were born with your Saturn in Gemini, you might be acquainted with imposter syndrome.

Your brain is often scattered, thanks to your Gemini placement, and Saturn's influx of over information can cause you to second-guess yourself.

While those with Saturn in Gemini have no problem being sure of themselves in data-driven environments, they may have trouble with things that can't be quantified, like emotions.

Elon knows his way around technology, but when others' emotions come into play, he's not always the savviest.

Maybe this is why he has had ten children with many different women or has been divorced several times.

Saturn can be a player in how one approaches responsibilities, including raising children.

It can also be about your moral obligations and how you act in an authoritative position.

Uranus in Libra

If your Uranus is in Libra, you were likely born between 1968 and 1975.

This means that your generation grooved well with Uranus, often known as the rebellious, eccentric, and non-conventional sign of breakthroughs and new normals.

Those with their Uranus in Libra often have drastically different value systems in their home lives from the traditional marriages of their parents' times.

Uranus was the first planet to be discovered in the modern age, making it symbolic of new ideas, progress, and innovation.

Those with their Uranus in Libra remember the invention of the internet, and many, like Elon, hopped aboard and turned it into fortunes.

Uranus represents extremes and breakthroughs in your life.

It may not always be the most comfortable time (it's got the lowest temperature of any planet), but you will emerge triumphant if you aren't opposed to changes.

Neptune in Sagittarius

If your Neptune falls under Sagittarius, you're likely romantic and passionate about travel.

If this is the placement of your Neptune sign, then the mundane is not for you; you prefer chasing the highs of new paths that have not yet been traveled.

This is very true of Elon in all versions of himself: he designs rocketships aimed at outer space travel, cars that drive themselves and run on electricity.

He runs a mega-million-dollar social media platform.

Any one of these would be a feat to most people, but with his Neptune in Sagittarius, it's likely not the last of his outstanding accomplishments.

Your Neptune sign represents your imagination and your dreams.

It also represents your beliefs and your willingness to share them with others.

Pluto in Virgo

If your Pluto is in Virgo, you are most likely very detail-oriented.

You're hard-working, and you expect those around you to work just as hard as you do.

You can come off as aloof and cold, but that's just because you're extremely practical in your approach to living.

Elon is hard-working, and if you need further proof of his expectations for his employees, you may want to revisit his meeting expectations.

The planet Pluto is symbolic of your deepest secrets.

It is also a planet that represents your taboo interests and your subconscious thoughts.
