Rejoice shameless romantics, earnest water signs, those who have the smoke of heartbreaks and sworn swifties; we’re looking at the stars behind the breakup and breakup songs, the Anti-Hero’s own birth chart, ladies and gentlemen, Taylor mothertruckin’ Swift.
Tay Tay if you’re bad.
Standing just under six feet, our lady of the ballad of breakup and candid confession is loved by legions and feared by exes.
In honor of Swift’s 35th birthday and end of her historic tour and worth of dollars Eras, we bring you a look at her birth chart.
Read, immediately, “Red” forever.
Sun in Sagittarius
Born to us on December 13, 1989, Swift’s sun sign falls in the ace and arrows sign of Sagittarius.
Ruled by the planet Jupiter, the fun-loving uncle of the zodiac, Sagittarius energy is expansive, optimistic, adventurous, and a little clueless. Sagittarians are seekers, always seeking new horizons, higher learning, spiritual transcendence, and—in T. Swift’s case—the first flush of new love.
Swift’s resilience after relationship endings is emblematic of her Sagittarius Sun.
These people can’t help but believe that good things are on their way and life will get better. Swift herself acknowledges this arc in the song “Begin Again,” said to be inspired by her relationship with Conor Kennedy. It’s exactly that kind of fiery optimism that keeps her a perennial player in the game of love.
Cue Steve Earle’s “Heart Without Fear.”
Archers entice with their own bon vivant approach to life, promising that a relationship with them will be akin to a historic road trip, complete with quirky stops, fat-free caramel lattes, a diverse soundtrack and a highly enviable vintage car.
Pack your bags, burn your hesitations – right?
Moon in Cancer
Not so fast.
Folks, this cheap and easy high street move is a bait-and-switch. Beneath the surface and on its way back into the shadows lies Swift’s crustacean Cancer Moon.
In astrology, the Moon represents our emotional needs and how we go about fulfilling them; it is related to the education we did or did not receive as children. It’s the soft underbelly, the marshmallow center, the pulpy mess, and the primal heart of the human condition, and in the sign of Cancer, it’s at its most sensitive.
These people want a strong emotional connection and a blood oath that you will never leave. So real is the fear of abandonment that those with the Moon in Cancer tend to adapt to suit the needs and preferences of their partners.
Because the Moon rules Cancer, she is very much at home in this placement. She’s wearing a Snuggie and ready to passive-aggressively manipulate you into staying the night for the rest of your life.
At its highest expression, Cancer energy is creative, nurturing, and deeply romantic. At their most tolerant, Cancer Moon natives tend toward masochistic nostalgia, endlessly idealizing or overanalyzing past love relationships.
Although their relationship lasted only three months and ended over 13 years ago, Taylor is still writing about Jake Gyllenhaal. Further evidence of Swift’s past hurts can be found in the song “Style,” where she rhapsodizes about the aesthetics of her failed relationship with Harry Styles. The remnants of her doomed relationships with actor/collaborator Joe Alwyn and former flame and firemate Matt Healy of The 1975 are scattered across her latest album, The Tortured Poet’s Department.
Cancer mode is to turn and turn again. However, Swift has taken advantage of this somewhat painful placement by channeling it into music that serves not only as balm for her, but as sonic medicine for the masses. No one, and I mean no one, maximizes/monetizes the particle mill of the human experience quite like Swift.
Mars in Scorpio
Mars is the planet of war and within the birth chart, it rules our approach to sex, ambition and conflict.
Tay Tay’s Mars is in the dreaded “revenge as an art form” sign of Scorpio.
Mars in Scorpio sees people as enemies or allies, with the former falling firmly into the latter category. These natives take nothing lightly and go to great lengths to ensure that others feel the weight of the pain they have caused.
Beyond revenge, Scorpio energy seeks transformation, often prompted by trauma and/or loss. The alternate totem for the Scorpio sign is the phoenix, and I can confidently say that Swift lives to light it, to watch it burn, to write it down, and to turn pain into profit.
Taylor has a long and distinguished history of turning the raw material of her relationships into songs. She called out John Mayer and his list of personal failures by name in her 2010 song “Dear John.” Further, in keeping with her Scorpio tendencies, Swift plays the long game. Her ardent fans are still rocking the guy a decade later, greeting his TikTok entry with slings and arrows.
Perhaps the worst punishment in the Mars in Scorpio playbook is deletion.
Fittingly, Swift has a stable of exes, including Tom Hiddleston, Calvin Harris and Eddie Redmayne, who have been weighed, measured and found unworthy of immortality through music. Oh, brother.
Planetary cluster in Capricorn, dad energy rises and reigns
Swift has a stellium of planets in hard hitting, strong love sign Capricorn with her Mercury, Jupiter, Uranus and Neptune all in capricorn territory.
Capricorn is a sign concerned with building and ensuring a legacy that will last. We see this energy expressed in Swift, who is nothing if not in her curse.
Hats are big on ROI, and our girl won’t suffer for nothing, instead, she turns the pain of lived experience into profitable tunes, singing her beautiful self to the proverbial bank and an ever-impressive real estate portfolio.
Those with serious Capricorn dispositions tend to age in reverse; Their early years see them grow up too quickly and take on adult responsibilities before they are emotionally equipped to do so.
If that sounds bad, it is.
The upshot of this is that if they can manage to survive adolescence and early adulthood, they gain their childhood bliss later in life, it’s not easy, but it sure is sweet. We see this timeline reversal in Swift, who was bullied as a teenager and lived through a healthy list of lovers and scary fights before hitting her stride in recent years.
Lucky prediction
A look at Swift’s past reveals why she’s experiencing one of the most fruitful and empowering periods of her life, bursting with joyful news, creative energy and enduring love that will continue to flow freely and in advantageously in the proverbial mug of Tay Tays pimps.
Cheers to you Swift, may all your pains be behind you and may your brighter days be ahead.
