When it comes to living legends, there is no one who stands as high and shoots to the forefront of our hearts and minds as Elton John.
The iconic singer has been bringing brilliant talent and artistry to the world for decades and continues to do so with his farewell tour and new music. The rocket man has had a whirlwind life, ruling his domain of the world like an emperor.
With a past full of celebrity friends and feuds, wild rock and roll parties, health problems and finally settling for sobriety and family life, John, 75, has had a very full and fascinating journey.
He has even managed to bring fellow pop stars like Britney Spears back to the music world with their latest release “Hold Me Closer”.
So what makes him such a powerhouse? Was he supposed to become one of the greatest musicians of all time? What awaits him for his legacy? Join me as we dive into its stars because I’m a pop culture astrologer and I can see everything.
Elton John’s Birth Chart Shows He Was Always Meant to Be a Prolific Muse
Elton John was born on March 25, 1947. This makes him a fiery Aries sun with a grounded Taurus moon. His birth time has not been confirmed anywhere online, so until I have the honor of crossing paths with him one day (I can only hope, join me!), we’ll instead focus on what we’re doing, basically knowing . When it comes to elemental energy, John is strongly composed of fire and air. This should come as no surprise as he is immensely passionate and charismatic as well as a profound communicator. These traits usually appear when a person has many of these elemental energies.
When it comes to astrological aspects running through his chart, there are a few different themes. First and foremost, John is a revolutionary. Various planetary interactions emphasize this repeatedly. First, its Mars, the planet of propulsion, connects with Uranus, the planet of the future. This makes him original, eccentric and a strong maverick. He is visionary and energetic, not afraid to be rebellious and go against the status quo in pursuing his goals.
He is a brave, pioneering free spirit whose mission in life is to bring about new ideas. His Neptune, the planet of the imagination, is united with his Midheaven, bringing him enormous success in a musical and artistic career. Uranus also dances with his Midheaven, which makes him a uniquely gifted person, with both ambition and unconventional attitudes that have always had the power to change society as a whole. His Mercury, the planet of communication, is also united with Mars, giving him an agile and aggressive mind, with an infinite will to speak, connect and succeed.
The next main theme is that John is practically a divine channel of the muses. In a sense, this is because his birth chart places a strong emphasis on his creative expression. I can also understand his permissive and hedonistic past, because of the way this overlaps his map as well. He is extravagant and magnificent and is a creature of passion and pleasure. His sun, which rules his life force, opposes Neptune, greatly amplifying his visionary magic. His sun also orbits Jupiter, the planet of fortune and expansion, giving him divine happiness, wealth and a larger-than-life personality.
Wherever he went, happiness would always follow. His Venus, the planet of art, rears up with Jupiter, bringing him a royal and graceful energy and a brilliant creativity. Venus is also connected to Uranus and its Midheaven, giving it even more groundbreaking abilities to shock the world. Finally, as should come as no surprise, John was built for groundbreaking success.
Many planetary attunements speak of him as a leader. His Jupiter orbits Saturn, making him an excellent manager with the ambition and natural strength to be honored and respected. He was meant to work in society as a whole. His sun is connected to Pluto, giving him a strong desire to be recognized and admired, and with his sun also smiling at Saturn, he has always had the concentration, focus and determination to put absolutely everything he has into his goals and stabbing performance.
What are predictions for Elton John?
So what’s in store for Mr Elton John? Let’s take a look! First and foremost, he is in an extremely important period of his life where wealth will become a major theme – and accumulate even more so. This is because Pluto and Saturn have the emphasis here. I wouldn’t be surprised if in the next decade he also uses his wealth to really invest in social causes he really believes in. He also collects a lot of inspiration in 2022 and will start again with the summer of 2023 – that until May 2024.
This is because Jupiter will sparkle and spin, casting hymns and love songs from his heart and mind. While I think retirement is something that’s on the line, especially because of the eclipses starting to show up in 2023 and 2024, I still think in a sense he will always “create.” It’s more of a lifestyle for him than just trying to capitalize on his sense of wealth – it’s actually more about the joy of doing so and the legacy of inspiration he leaves behind. But towards the end of the decade, when Saturn comes over its sun in Aries, it will feel a weakening.
This will start in 2026 until the end of the 2020s. This period will put him to the test, but also give him an opportunity to reflect on the beauty he has built. I really hope that one day I can sit with him over a meal and listen to his visionary view of the world. You heard it here first.
