Lorde’s birth chart shows that she’s cosmically brilliant
Lorde was born on November 7, 1996. This makes her a Scorpio Sun with a Virgo Moon and Capricorn Ascendant. When looking at her elemental energy, we can see that she is heavily composed of Earth and Water. This is what brings her the deep, introspective and moody vibe that radiates through her body of work. Her emotional sensitivity is profound, but she also knows how to ground herself and be practical without spinning off into her feelings and never being rooted in reality. Because of this, she is able to channel her emotions and work ethic harmoniously.
When analyzing key themes that run through her birth chart, there are a few that pop up. First off—not that this should be surprising—but she is immensely lucky. In fact, luck is a lifestyle for her. The reason I say this is because Jupiter, the planet of miracles and expansion, is exactly united with her Ascendant—or better known as her body and identity. This quite literally means she was born under the luckiest star. She’s larger than life, expansive, optimistic, generous and philosophical, attracting good fortune to her through all of these means. She’s “go big or go home” in every way, but because of this innate courage and belief in the good in herself—and the world—people naturally respect her.
This is a sign of a natural born leader, as is the fact that her Saturn, the planet of strength, flows perfectly with Pluto, the planet of power. She has always had a deep focus on authority and the natural charisma and magnetism to command. Achievement is important to her.
Then, her Sun, tied to her life force, dances perfectly with her Ascendant and Jupiter, as well. She attracts good fortune forever—it flows through her in and out. She radiates like a light and wishes to share that brilliance and fortune with others. This is all so potently woven through her cosmic make-up.
Last to mention around this theme of lucky ambition is that her Moon, tied to her soul and inner emotional world, is also exactly united with her Midheaven—or highest point of success and public recognition. Her sensitivity—and dramatic side—instantly allow her to influence others on a global scale and give her this enigmatic, mysterious quality. I’d even go as far as to call it hypnotic.
The last theme I want to highlight is that Lorde truly is a savant of communication and artistry. Her Sun is exactly united with Mercury, the planet of the mind, persuasion and speech. She’s quick-witted and independent in her thoughts and vision and thrives on inspiration. She has a wide perspective on life and can’t be limited in a cage or a box—she quite literally must speak and broadcast her ideas.
Then, with her Moon dancing ever so elegantly with Neptune, the planet of imagination, she possesses a majestic and poetic touch that she can weave with depth, meaning and clarity as she sees fit.
