Idris Elba’s birth chart shows why he appeals to both older and newer generations
Idris Elba was born on September 6, 1972. This makes him a hardworking Virgo Sun with a creative Leo Moon. His birth time has not been confirmed anywhere online (get at me!), so until that happens, we’ll instead focus on what we do, in fact, know. When looking at his elemental energy, he is very equally balanced between Earth, Fire and Air. This shows that he can move mountains with his passion and persistence and his communication abilities are quite potent.
When analyzing astrological aspects built into his birth chart, there are a few different themes that pop up. Let’s start with the first: Elba is a go-getter and that is infused into his core. Not only does he possess raw strength and vitality to manifest his plans, but he has some unique placements that further empower his ambition and long-term power. In regards to his innate personality, his Sun, ruling his life force, is exactly—literally perfectly—united with Mars, the planet of passion and drive. This brings him an extremely outgoing personality that is self-confident, daring and combative in his approach to life. Yet, this also infuses his physical stamina with so much energy, allowing him to be athletic with nearly endless levels of fuel. He makes things happen because his personality and body were born to be in constant activity. To add further emphasis on this, his Sun and Mars both link to mighty Saturn, the planet of longevity. On one hand, this can make someone face challenges to get where they wish to be, but it actually empowers him with the infinite strength of will to make his mark on the world and achieve magnificent recognition. This desire has always been crucial to him, funneling everything he’s had into his goals because he knew, deep down, he was worthy. His Jupiter, the planet of luck, dances with Pluto, the planet of power, further enhancing his positive and determined nature. Last, his Saturn, the planet of tradition, dances sweetly with Uranus, the planet of the future, which grants him both a practical understanding of life but also a future-oriented perspective in perfect balance. He isn’t a conformer and has the ability to stand as an authority before society at large because he appeals to the older generations as well as the newer ones.
Of course the next two key themes that we’d find are that he is a gifted visionary, empowered with the blessings of art and creativity, but he is also a master communicator. The symbiosis between these two key themes is what also makes him so lucky and likeable from everyone that he meets. And yes, of course, this reveals wealth and fortune would come to him the more that he utilized and developed these inherent skills.
