| astrologizing.net SIGN of the Times: ELTON JOHN |
EltonJohn is one of my favorite performers. He writes beautiful songs; songs that make me
laugh and songs that make me cry. The chart above is just one of the few times given for
his birth time. One of the other times is 2:00 am which gives Sagittarius rising. I would say
that Leo rising is much more apropos for EltonJohn. He has a fixed Sign build and a Leo
showmanship. Just take a look at the wonderful picture on WIKIPEDIA .

EltonJohn was born with the fixed star, Arcturus, rising. Arcturus is called "the King," and
the "heart of the Lion!" Could anything fit him better?
All I really know about EltonJohn is what I read in Wikipedia and what I see and hear when
he's on stage. What a guy! He's exciting, romantic, fun, outrageous, super talented, and
always entertaining. So, without knowing a lot, I'd still like to present my take on his birth
chart. It sure is a complicated one, just like the man, himself!
The Sun in Aries rules his chart. With two Fire Signs, including his Leo rising, we would
expect him to be the consummate extrovert, no? Note the House of the Sun; 8th is
Scorpio's. EltonJohn is more introverted and introspective than he appears. He feels and
cares deeply about issues concerning life and death, the hidden mysteries of life, sexual
matters, and partner's/intimate's financial conditions. He is extremely generous towards
those he loves. However, he does not forget those who've hurt him through betrayal or
dishonesty.
Moon in Taurus bestows a gentle and kind soul. With the Moon squaring Pluto, though, he
can change from a pussycat to a bulldog in a New York minute! One of his parents could
have shared that trait.
EltonJohn has the "finger of God" Yod in his chart. One of the more interesting patterns,
the Yod gives him a sense of mission in his life. He was born in the generation of Neptune
sextile Pluto which gives him a strong connection with his generation. This sextile includes
quincunxes to Mercury in the 7th House which forms the Yod. The 7th House is not only
concerned with partners and intimates, but the Public. To him, his mission probably
includes both. Mercury is co-ruler of his 10th house of career and ruler of his 2nd House of
"what he has in his pocket." He has talent, financial resources, personal values, and
Neptune in his "pocket." Neptune, besides giving him loads of musical talent, has
presented him with a choice of escape mechanisms; escape in the form of sleep, drugs,
disappearing, and death. His Sun is nearly opposite Neptune from the 8th house.
One of the reasons that I like this chart is that it rectifies out to when he first discovered his
musical talent; at three to four years of age. Note that the Midheaven progressed to an
"action" square to Venus, ruler of the Midheaven, at that time.
May many blessings be bestowed on EltonJohn and may he find love, joy, and peace while
here with us.
