What Taylor Swift’s Birth Chart Says About Her, According to an Astrologer (2024)

Everyone knows Taylor Swift was born in 1989 (thanks to her successful album of the same name), but what does her actual birthday say about her astrologically?

Born on Wednesday, Dec. 13, 1989, the “Fortnight” singer's sun sign is Sagittarius (also known as the Archer — yes, like the song on Lover) and a Cancer moon.

Though her rising sign can't be definitively named without knowing her birth time, her known zodiac signs say a lot about her as a person, romantic partner and career-driven woman.

PEOPLE recently spoke with astrologer and bestselling author Lisa Stardust, who analyzed Swift’s birth chart in full detail.

According to Stardust, Swift is a “force to be reckoned with” when it comes to her music career thanks to her conjunction of Mars and Pluto. “[She] is someone who is highly motivated to succeed in all that she does,” Stardust adds.

And that’s just the beginning. Fittingly for someone who named her upcoming album The Tortured Poets Department, Swift has a poetic way with words in part because of her Mercury sign being in Capricorn.

For a more in-depth look at Swift’s birth chart, read Stardust’s analysis ahead.

What does Taylor Swift’s big three in her birth chart say about her?

As previously mentioned, Swift is a Sagittarius sun sign and a Cancer moon sign. When it comes to her sun sign, being a Sagittarius indicates she has an “adventurous spirit,” while her moon sign in Cancer “suggests emotional intelligence and intuition,” Stardust says.

While Swift’s rising sign is unclear since we don’t know the exact time of her birth, Stardust notes that popular theories have ranged between Scorpio and Capricorn. “Based on facial features and life events, some predict that it is Scorpio, but there is no definite answer,” Stardust says.

What does Taylor Swift's birth chart say about her love life?

When it comes to her romantic relationships, Stardust notes that Swift’s Venus conjuncts to her North Node in Aquarius, meaning she is “charming and able to bring in romantic partners.” She sees astrological parallels with iconic heartthrob Elvis Presley, who had "a similar aspect in his chart, which made him very popular” with the opposite sex.

Stardust adds that Swift “also has a Mars and Pluto conjunction in Scorpio, which loosely squares her Venus in Aquarius.” According to Stardust, this means she can be hot and cold when it comes to relationships and is “someone who is looking for an all-encompassing, passionate love.”

As for her actual love matches, Stardust notes that Capricorn or Aquarius signs would be great partners because “they would allow her to thrive and pursue her interests without being too demanding.”

“[A] Capricorn would understand her need to work hard and wouldn't put too much pressure on her,” Stardust explains. “Similarly, Aquarius would also give her the space she needs to grow." And with Swift’s Venus sign is Aquarius, “there would be a strong connection between them, and they could have a friendship-based relationship with ample space for each other.”

Additionally, Stardust points out that a Libra (which just so happens to be her boyfriend Travis Kelce’s sign) could also make a good love match for Swift “because [Libras] can maintain balance in the relationship and put in the effort to make it work.”

Stardust points out that Swift’s “Mercury sign, a sign of communication, aligns with her Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, all of which are also in Capricorn.” This shows that Swift is “direct and concise with her words,” though at times, the “Tortured Poets Department” singer, who is typically "sincere and upfront ... does choose a lofty approach to expressing herself and often is poetic, as we can see in her verses and lyrics.”

What does Taylor Swift's birth chart say about her friendships?

Swift has surrounded herself with a tight group of friends in recent years, which is attributed to her Venus in Aquarius, which Stardust says helps her form “deep and genuine friendships based on shared interests.” As a friend, she “remains true to her crew and never judges them. Her honesty and kindness make her a loyal and caring friend to her close circle,” Stardust notes.

What does Taylor Swift’s birth chart say about her family relationships?

When it comes to Swift’s family dynamics, Stardust notes that her moon sign says a lot about her character. “In this case, with the moon in Cancer, it's clear that she has a very strong bond with her family members,” Stardust says. “Being close to her relatives and family members is important to her, and being around them makes her feel fulfilled. She values the unconditional love that her family offers her, and she enjoys feeling comforted in their presence.”
