Elon Musk

Air holds four of his ten planets and fire just one, with three in water and two in earth. Air takes a thing apart to see how it works, and the element that supplies sheer forward impulse is the one almost missing, which is not what most people would guess. Musk founded SpaceX, runs Tesla, was an early figure at PayPal, and left South Africa for Canada at seventeen.

The Sun sits at six degrees of Cancer with Mercury further along the same sign, and the Moon answers from Virgo. Cancer keeps what it has and takes everything personally; Virgo finds the fault and says so. That is a markedly thin skinned pairing to carry in public, and it describes somebody who treats criticism of the work as criticism of himself rather than as information.

Saturn sits directly opposite Neptune at a third of a degree, which is the planet of what can be built facing the planet of what can be imagined, with nothing in between to mediate. In a chart belonging to somebody whose companies are founded on announcing a thing years before it exists, that single opposition is the most legible aspect here. Nothing in the chart forms a yod or a T-square to hold it.

Jupiter met its own starting point in Scorpio on 28 October 2018, at forty seven, in reverse as it was originally. Scorpio hands the planet of expansion nothing without a price, and the question it puts is depth rather than count. Four circuits precede it, and on a record holding three separate companies, that is the question the chart would press hardest on. Mercury makes a quintile to Pluto at under two thirds of a degree, which is an easy skill in using speech as leverage, and in a chart with one planet in fire it is doing more of the work than the drive is.

Cast your own birth chart

Elon Musk is alive, so there is one chart here rather than two. The death chart is cast for a documented moment of death and there is nothing to cast one for, which is the point: this site does not estimate either end.

Cast for noon, as the birth time is unknown, so the longitudes are approximate.
