Elon Musk’s Birth Chart

Elon Musk was born in Pretoria (South Africa) on June 28, 1971,
but his time of birth is undisclosed. On that day, the Moon
remained in the sign of Virgo (Tropical zodiac) throughout, without
changing signs. As a result, we can confidently analyze Musk's
birth chart primarily based on the position of the Moon at 12 PM.

When analyzing the birth chart of an individual, it is important to

first determine which zodiac system, Tropical or Sidereal, provides
a better description of their personality and life experience.

The zodiac is a way of dividing the sky into sections to track the
movement of the Sun, Moon, and planets. There are two main
systems of dividing the zodiac: the Tropical zodiac and the
Sidereal zodiac. The Tropical zodiac is based on the changing
seasons of the Earth, and it divides the zodiac into twelve equal
parts, each 30 degrees wide. The first point of Aries in the Tropical
zodiac begins at the vernal equinox, which is the moment when
the Sun crosses the celestial equator and moves into the northern
hemisphere, marking the beginning of spring in the northern
hemisphere.

On the other hand, the Sidereal zodiac is based on the actual

positions of the stars in the sky. It also divides the zodiac into
twelve parts, but these parts are not equal in size because the
stars are not evenly spaced. In the Sidereal zodiac, the first point
of Aries begins at the intersection of the ecliptic (the apparent
path of the Sun in the sky) and the celestial equator (an imaginary
line extending from the Earth's equator into space).

So, in simple terms, the Tropical zodiac is based on the changing

seasons of the Earth, while the Sidereal zodiac is based on the
actual positions of the stars in the sky. They both divide the zodiac
into twelve parts, but the starting points and sizes of the parts are
different.

Astrological Symbols

Upon examining Elon Musk's birth chart using the Tropical zodiac,
there are no particular planetary placements that stand out as the

6
sole reason for his success. Under the Tropical zodiac, there are
no planets that have a particularly high level of dignity or strength:
Sun and Mercury are in Cancer - Peregrine
Saturn and Venus in Gemini - Peregrine
Moon in Virgo - Peregrine
Jupiter in Scorpio - Peregrine
Mars in Aquarius - Peregrine

In the context of astrology, the term "peregrine" describes a

planet's weak influence resulting from its placement in a particular
zodiac sign. A planet with peregrine dignity is believed to exert
less impact on an individual's life.

Elon Musk not only managed to become the richest person in the
world in 2021, with a net worth of over $300 billion, but he has
also received numerous public recognition awards, such as Fortune
Businessperson of the Year, Time Magazine's 100 Most Influential
Person, National Space Society's Robert A. Heinlein Memorial
Award, Royal Aeronautical Society's Gold Medal, Edison
Achievement Award, International Astronautical Federation's World

By switching to the Sidereal/Lahiri zodiac, the planetary conditions

in Elon Musk's birth chart undergo a significant change, which we
will discuss in detail later in the book.

Why does the Tropical zodiac accurately describe the life

experience of some people, while the Sidereal zodiac is more
appropriate for others? We don't know yet. This is one of the great
unresolved mysteries. When assessing the life of an individual, the
only thing we can do is find out which zodiac, house system, or
reference point (Ascendant or Moon) works better.

Assessing Elon Musk’s Planetary Strength

Astrology defines planetary strength as the degree of power and

influence each planet holds in a natal chart or horoscope. In
traditional astrology, interpreting a birth chart involves assessing
the planetary strength, which is determined by evaluating various
factors following a specific procedure.

Step A) The first step in assessing planetary strength is to

evaluate the relationship between planets in the birth chart.

There are two approaches to evaluating aspects between plants.

The initial method involves examining the birth chart wheel, like
the one drawn by [Link]. Within the wheel, you can observe
the principal connections between planets, and the accompanying
table indicates the degree of proximity of each aspect.

Another technique employed in Vedic astrology involves identifying

the aspect first, followed by determining whether the planets
involved are friends, enemies, or neutral. In this approach, aspects
are directed at zodiac signs rather than directly at other planets. If
a planet is located in the sign being aspected, it is also regarded
as being aspected.

All the planets, including the North Node (Rahu in Vedic astrology),
aspect the 7th sign from their position in the birth chart
(opposition). For example, if the Sun is in Aries, it will aspect Libra,
and if there is a planet in Libra, it will be influenced, regardless of
the degree position of each planet.

In addition, Mars aspects 4th, and 8th sign from its position.
Jupiter aspects 5th and 9th sign from its position.
Saturn aspects 3rd and 10th sign from its position.
North Node/Rahu aspects 5th and 9th sign from its position (like
Jupiter).
South Node/Ketu influences only the sign where is resident.

Let’s see Elon Musk’s planetary relationships in his birth chart.

Venus 7th
Sagittarius Sun 7th,
Mercury 7th
Capricorn Mars, North
Node/Rahu
Aquarius Saturn 10th Moon 7th
Pisces Jupiter 5th

Step B) The second step is to evaluate the quality of the

relationship between planets.

In astrology, the relationship between planets is classified into

three categories: friendly, inimical, and neutral. The friendly
planets are those that share a good relationship with each other.
They enhance each other's positive qualities and work together to
bring about positive results.

The inimical planets, on the other hand, have a negative

relationship with each other. They tend to work against each other,
and their interaction can lead to conflicts and obstacles.

12
Lastly, the neutral planets have no specific relationship with each
other. They are neither friendly nor inimical and do not affect each
other's results.

The relationship between planets is an essential consideration in

astrology when analyzing a person's birth chart. Here is the table
of relationship between planets.

Planet Friends Enemies Neutral

Moon, Mars,
Sun Saturn, Venus Mercury

All except Sun
Moon Sun, Mercury None

Venus Mercury, Saturn Sun, Moon Mars, Jupiter
Mars Sun, Moon, Jupiter Mercury Venus, Saturn
Jupiter Sun, Moon, Mars Mercury, Venus Saturn
Sun, Moon,
Saturn Mercury, Venus Jupiter
Mars

Sun and Saturn are considered enemies because they are opposite
in nature. The Sun represents power, authority, and self-
expression, while Saturn represents discipline, limitation, and
restriction.

Sun and Venus are considered to be natural enemies because the

Sun represents the Self, the ego and the soul, and Venus
represents the materialistic aspects of life. They are both
important for living a balanced life, but their energies can be in
conflict with each other.

Sun and the Moon are considered friends because the Sun
represents the conscious self, the ego, and the soul, while the
Moon represents the emotional self, the subconscious, and the
mind. They both represent the two different aspects of the same
self. The Sun represents the light of consciousness, and the Moon
represents the reflection of that light.

13
Sun and Mars are considered friends because Sun represents
power, authority, self-expression, and the soul, while Mars
represents energy, action, and courage. Both the Sun and Mars
are considered masculine and assertive planets and they both
represent ambition, leadership and drive.

Sun and Jupiter are considered friends because they both

represent positive qualities and have similar effects on human life.
The Sun represents power, authority, and self-confidence, while
Jupiter represents knowledge, wisdom, and spiritual growth.
Additionally, the Sun and Jupiter are both associated with the
element fire, which is said to represent energy, enthusiasm, and
creativity.

The Moon is not considered to have any enemies because it is

generally considered to be a benefic or auspicious planet. The
Moon represents emotions, intuition, and the subconscious mind,
and is considered to have a positive influence on human life.

The Moon considers Mercury as friend, but Mercury sees the Moon
as an enemy because Mercury represents intelligence,
communication, and adaptability, while the Moon represents
emotions, intuition, and the subconscious mind. Mercury is
associated with the intellect and the rational mind, while the Moon
is associated with emotions and intuition. When Mercury receives
the influence of the Moon in a birth chart, it can indicate a person
who may have trouble in balancing their rational thinking with
their emotional needs. Additionally, Mercury is associated with the
element earth, which is said to represent practicality, stability, and
material success, while the Moon is associated with the element
water, which is said to represent emotions, intuition, and creativity.
These different elements can also contribute to the challenging
relationship between Mercury and Moon.

Venus and Mercury are considered friends because they have

similar effects on human life. Venus represents love, beauty, and
relationships, while Mercury represents intelligence,
communication, and adaptability. Both planets have a positive
influence on a person's ability to connect with others, and are
associated with social skills, artistic talents and harmony.
Additionally, Venus and Mercury are both associated with the

14
element earth, which is said to represent practicality, stability, and
material success. A relationship between Venus and Mercury in a
horoscope can indicate a person who is able to connect with
others in a harmonious and intelligent way, and who may be
successful in creative or artistic pursuits.

Venus and Saturn are considered friends despite their apparent

contradictory nature. Venus represents love, beauty, and
relationships, while Saturn represents discipline, responsibility, and
hard work. But, both planets have a positive influence on a
person's ability to achieve long-term stability and success in
relationships and material pursuits. Venus is associated with love,
beauty, luxury and material comforts, while Saturn is associated
with discipline, hard work, and long-term planning. These two
planets, when in relationship in a horoscope, can indicate a person
who can balance the material comforts and luxuries with discipline
and hard work to achieve long-term stability and success.
Additionally, both Venus and Saturn are associated with the
element earth, which is said to represent practicality, stability, and
material success, this can also be a reason for their friendship.

Venus is considered to see the Moon as an enemy because of their

conflicting nature. Venus represents love, beauty, and
relationships, while the Moon represents emotions, intuition, and
the subconscious mind. Venus is associated with love, beauty,
luxury and material comforts, while the Moon is associated with
emotions, intuition and motherly love. These two planets, when in
relationship in a horoscope, can indicate a person who may have
difficulty in balancing their emotional needs with their material
desires or may struggle with insecurity and attachment issues in
their relationships. Additionally, Venus is associated with the
element earth, which is said to represent practicality, stability, and
material success, while the Moon is associated with the element
water, which is said to represent emotions, intuition, and creativity.
These different elements can also contribute to the challenging
relationship between Venus and Moon.

Mars and the Moon are considered friends because they have a
complementary relationship in a person's horoscope. Mars
represents courage, energy, and assertiveness, while the Moon
represents emotions, intuition, and the subconscious mind. Mars is

15
associated with action, courage, and the ability to take initiative,
while the Moon is associated with emotions and the ability to
nurture. This friendship can indicate a person who is able to
balance their assertiveness with emotional intelligence and
empathy, allowing them to take effective and decisive action while
still being considerate of others' feelings.

Mars and Jupiter are considered friends because they have a

complementary relationship in a person's horoscope. Mars
represents courage, energy, and assertiveness, while Jupiter
represents wisdom, growth, and expansion. Mars is associated
with action, courage, and the ability to take initiative, while Jupiter
is associated with wisdom, knowledge and the ability to guide
others. This friendship can indicate a person who is able to
balance their assertiveness and action with wisdom, guidance and
knowledge, allowing them to use their energy and initiative in a
constructive and beneficial way, resulting in progress and success.

Mars is considered to see Mercury as an enemy because of their

conflicting nature. Mars represents courage, energy, and
assertiveness, while Mercury represents intelligence,
communication, and adaptability. Mars is associated with action,
courage, and the ability to take initiative, while Mercury is
associated with intellect, reasoning, and communication. When
these two planets are in relationship in a horoscope, it can indicate
a person who may struggle with impulsiveness and may have
difficulty in thinking things through before taking action.

Jupiter sees Mercury as enemy because they have a conflicting

relationship in a person's horoscope. Jupiter represents wisdom,
growth, and expansion, while Mercury represents practicality and
communication. When these two planets are in relationship in a
horoscope, it can indicate a person who may struggle with being
too focused on gaining knowledge and wisdom at the expense of
practicality, or may have difficulty in effectively communicating
and implementing their knowledge and wisdom in the real world.

Jupiter sees Venus as enemy because Jupiter represents wisdom,

growth, and expansion, while Venus represents love, beauty, and
pleasure. Jupiter is associated with wisdom, knowledge, and the
ability to guide others, while Venus is associated with love,

16
relationships, and material comforts. When these two planets are
in relationship in a horoscope, it can indicate a person who may
struggle with balancing their desire for material comforts with their
desire for spiritual growth and expansion.

Saturn sees the Moon as enemy because Saturn represents

discipline, responsibility, and hard work, while Moon represents
emotions, sensitivity and imagination. Saturn is associated with
structure, boundaries, and the ability to delay gratification, while
Moon is associated with changeability, adaptability, and emotional
expression. When these two planets are in relationship in a
horoscope, it can indicate a person who may struggle with
balancing their emotional needs with their responsibilities and
duties, leading to difficulty in making decisions and taking actions.

Step C) The third step is to assess the strength of planets in the

sign where they are placed in.

C.1) A planet is strong if it’s placed in the sign it rules. Here is a

list of the zodiac signs and their traditional rulers:

Aries: ruled by Mars. Mars is the planet of action, energy, and

drive, and is associated with qualities such as determination,

persistence and determination. They also tend to be practical and
organized, which are qualities that are often associated with
Saturn.

Aquarius: ruled by Saturn. Aquarians are known for their forward-

thinking and unconventional ideas, but they also tend to be
rational and logical. Saturn's influence on Aquarius is believed to
provide a grounding effect to the sign, helping them to balance
their revolutionary ideas with practicality and discipline.

Pisces: ruled by Jupiter. Pisces is a water sign that is known for its
emotional depth, sensitivity, and intuition. Pisces is also associated
with spirituality and the imagination. Jupiter's influence on Pisces
is believed to enhance these qualities, as well as bring a sense of
optimism, generosity, and compassion to the sign.

Both traditional Western Astrology and Vedic Astrology use this list
of zodiac signs and their ruling planets.

C.2) A planet is considered strong when placed in the sign of a

friend or neutral planet, and is considered weak when placed in
the sign of an enemy planet. However, there are exceptions to this
general rule.

Considering C.1 and C.2, let’s see which placements make a planet
strong or weak.

Planet Strong Weak Neutral

Leo (own), Aries Libra
(exaltation), (debilitation),
Sun Other signs
Cancer, Sagittarius, Capricorn,
Scorpio, Pisces Aquarius

The Sun is considered exalted in Aries because it is said to be in its

most powerful and beneficial position in this sign. This is because
Aries is the sign of the Ram, which is a symbol of strength,

19
courage, and leadership. The Sun is also the ruler of Leo, which is
a sign of fire and passion. When the Sun is in Aries, it is able to
express itself fully and freely. This can lead to increased energy,
confidence, and motivation. It can also make people more
assertive and outgoing.

 A renewed sense of purpose and direction
 A more optimistic and positive outlook on life

to be out of its element in Libra. When the Sun is in Libra, it can
be difficult for people to express themselves fully and to assert
themselves. It can also make people more indecisive and passive.

In addition, the Sun is said to be the source of all life and energy.
When it is in Libra, it can be difficult for people to tap into their
own inner strength and power. This can lead to feelings of
weakness, insecurity, and low self-esteem.

If you have Sun in Libra (make sure to check which zodiac applies
to you), you may face the following challenges:
 Difficulty expressing yourself fully and asserting yourself
 Indecisiveness and passivity
 Feelings of weakness, insecurity, and low self-esteem

home. When the Moon is in Scorpio, it can create a sense of

Venus is the planet of luxury, love, and beauty, and is associated

with the material and sensory world. When Venus is in Virgo, it is
said to be operating in a weakened state and may struggle to
express its best qualities. This is because Virgo is a practical,
analytical, and somewhat critical sign that is not conducive to
Venus' qualities of beauty, luxury, and sensual enjoyment. The
placement of Venus in Virgo is believed to bring challenges in
relationships, financial matters, and personal values, and may lead
to difficulties in finding balance between material and spiritual
pursuits.

If you have Venus in Virgo, you may face the following challenges:
 Difficulty expressing love and affection in a healthy way
 Critical and judgmental nature
 Lack of practicality and efficiency
 Lack of appreciation for art, music, and literature.

23
 Planet Strong Weak Neutral
Aries (own),
Scorpio (own), Cancer
Mars Capricorn (debilitation), Other signs
(exaltation) Leo, Virgo, Gemini
Sagittarius, Pisces

Mars is considered to be exalted in the sign of Capricorn. Capricorn

is an earth sign, and is associated with stability, discipline, and a
strong work ethic. Mars, being the planet of energy and action,
finds an ideal environment in Capricorn, where it is able to put its
qualities to practical use. Capricorn also values ambition,
determination and organization, all of which are qualities that are
embodied by Mars.

When Mars is placed in Capricorn, it is believed to bring a strong

drive to achieve one's goals and to work tirelessly in pursuit of
success. This placement is considered to bring determination,
focus and a strong sense of purpose. Mars in Capricorn is also
associated with leadership, the ability to take initiative and the
courage to face challenges head on.

Here are some additional benefits of having Mars in Capricorn:

 Increased ambition, determination, and hard work
 Greater discipline, organization, and goal-orientedness
 Increased strength, stamina, and endurance
 A more structured and organized life.

Cancer is a water sign, which is known for its emotional and

sensitive nature. Mars, being a fiery planet, may feel restricted or
uncomfortable in this sign, as it finds it difficult to assert itself in
the emotional realm. This can result in conflicts between the need
for action and the need for emotional security, which can lead to
frustration and indecision.

Jupiter is considered to be exalted in the sign of Cancer. Cancer is

a water sign, and is associated with emotions, family, and the
home. Jupiter is the planet of wisdom, knowledge, and growth,
and finds a comfortable environment in Cancer, where it is able to
express its positive qualities. Cancer values security, nurturing,
and the protection of loved ones, all of which align with Jupiter's
qualities of compassion, understanding and benevolence.

When Jupiter is placed in Cancer, it is believed to bring a strong

sense of emotional stability, a caring and nurturing nature, and a
deep connection to one's family and home. This placement is also
considered to bring growth and expansion in areas related to the
home and family, such as real estate or property. Jupiter in Cancer
is associated with good fortune, abundance and a strong intuition.

Here are some additional benefits of having Jupiter in Cancer:

 Greater compassion, understanding, and forgiveness
 A greater appreciation for home, family, and communit
 A more spiritual and intuitive nature.

Jupiter is considered to be debilitated in the sign of Capricorn.

Capricorn is an earth sign, and is associated with discipline,
stability, and a strong work ethic. Jupiter, the planet of growth and
expansion, may find it difficult to express its qualities in the
practical, grounded environment of Capricorn. Capricorn values
discipline and structure, which can clash with Jupiter's desire for
growth and expansion.

When Jupiter is placed in Capricorn, it may struggle to find a

balance between its natural tendency towards growth and

25
expansion and the restrictive environment of Capricorn. This
placement may lead to difficulties in finding meaning and purpose,
as well as a lack of enthusiasm and optimism. Jupiter in Capricorn
is also associated with a tendency towards excess, as it may try to
overcompensate for its weakened state by overindulging in
material or worldly pleasures.

Here are some additional challenges of having Jupiter in Capricorn:

 Difficulty experiencing the positive aspects of Jupiter, such as
luck, expansion, and abundance
 More serious, ambitious, and materialistic nature
 A greater interest in practical matters and a more cautious
approach to life.

Saturn is considered exalted in Libra because the astrological

qualities of Saturn and Libra are thought to complement each
other well. Saturn is associated with discipline, structure, and
stability, while Libra is associated with balance, harmony, and
relationship. When Saturn is placed in Libra, it is believed to
express its qualities in a harmonious and balanced manner,
bringing stability and balance to relationships and partnerships.

Here are some additional benefits of having Saturn in Libra:

 Increased discipline, structure, and responsibility
 Fair-minded, diplomatic, and cooperative nature
 A greater focus on career and public image
 A more balanced and harmonious life.

Saturn is considered debilitated in Aries because the astrological

qualities of Saturn and Aries are thought to be incompatible.
Saturn is associated with discipline, structure, and stability, while
Aries is associated with assertiveness, impulsiveness, and
independence. When Saturn is placed in Aries, it may struggle to
express its qualities effectively, as the impulsive and independent

26
nature of Aries may conflict with Saturn's need for structure and
stability.

Here are some additional challenges of having Saturn in Aries:

 Difficulty expressing discipline, structure, and responsibility in a
healthy way
 Impulsive, impatient, and reckless nature
 A more challenging career.

It is believed that when a planet is debilitated, it may not be able

to express its full range of qualities and abilities, and its influence
in the birth chart may be diminished. However, a debilitated
planet's condition can be corrected if the following two conditions
are present in the birth chart:
1) The debilitated planet occupies a angular house (1st, 4th, 7th,
or 10th)
2) The debilitated planet is in conjunction with an exalted planet in
the same sign or the dispositor is exalted. In astrology, a
dispositor is a planet that rules the sign that another planet is
located in. For example, if Venus is in Gemini, then Mercury is the
dispositor of Venus.

...

In traditional astrology, the North Node, South Node, Uranus,

Neptune, and Pluto are not assigned rulership over any particular
sign and do not receive the same assessments as the classical
planets (Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn).
Instead, their strength is determined by the strength of the sign
they are placed in, as well as their aspect relationships with other
planets in the birth chart.

Step D) Once we have gathered all the elements for evaluation,

we can proceed to assess the condition of planets in Elon Musk’s
birth chart according to the Sidereal zodiac.

27
 Elon Musk’s chart: Sidereal Zodiac

Sun
The Sun being in Gemini, which is a friendly sign, and the
dispositor, Mercury, being in its own sign, indicates that the Sun is
strong.

Moon
The Moon is in Leo, which is a friendly sign. The dispositor, the
Sun, is strong and is placed in the 11th angle (11th signs from it),
the angle of gainfulness. Therefore, the Moon is strong.

Mercury

28
As mentioned before, Mercury is strong in its own sign.

Venus
Venus is placed in its own sign, Taurus, and receives the 7th
aspect from Jupiter, which is neutral, and the 5th aspect from the
North Node/Rahu (trine). Venus shares the sign with Saturn and is
trine to Mars, and they are both friendly. Venus is strong too.

Mars
Mars is exalted in Capricorn and conjunct the North Node/Rahu.
Saturn, the dispositor, is placed in the lucky 5th angle. Mars is the
strongest planet in Elon Musk’s birth chart.

Jupiter
Jupiter is retrograde in Scorpio, which is a friendly sign, and the
dispositor, Mars, is strong. Jupiter receives the 7th aspect from
Saturn, which is neutral, and from Venus, which is an enemy.
Jupiter is strong.

Saturn
Saturn is placed in Taurus, which is a friendly sign, and the
dispositor, Venus, is placed in the same sign. Saturn receives the
7th aspect from Jupiter, which is neutral, and the 5th aspect from
the North Node/Rahu (trine). Saturn is strong.

In conclusion, the Sidereal zodiac explains clearly the foundations

of Elon Musk's achievements. This is the typical birth chart which
brings talent and success. He has only strong planets that have
probably been in charge of the houses (from the Ascendant) of
creativity and business ventures (fifth), business administration
and communication (third), career and status (tenth), and material
achievements (eleventh).
