Elon Musk
by Leslie Marlar, April ’25
The biography on Musk by Walter Isaason states that Musk was born at 7:30 am on June 28th, 1971 in Pretoria, S. Africa.
His cardinal planets easily define him. His Cancer bodies: Sun at 6, Ascendant at 13.5, Mercury at 14, show him to be intelligent and vital. A planet on the Ascendant brings all that it rules including the signs that it rules. So we are adding influences from Leo, Gemini, and Virgo to his personal nature. In addition to this, we have Sirius, the brightest star in the sky on his Mercury, showing a very bright mind. His Uranus at 9.5 Libra in the wholesign 4th squaring his Cancer bodies shows a brilliant and unpredictable Uranian person. We also note from the biography that the relationship with his mother was good but with the father, involved abuse. Finally his Midheaven at 28 Aries shows him to be a pioneer.
His fixed planets are Mars in Aquarius at 21, the north node at 16.5 Aquarius and Jupiter in Scorpio at 27.5. Watching him taught me that Mars in Aquarius can mean pouring energy into bringing on the future. And Mars with the north node is looking to Mars for the future. This sounds just like him.
Mars is squaring Jupiter. This can show trouble with rules. I don’t think he asks for permission for much. And also, Mars with Jupiter shows his view that good comes from Mars.
His mutable, changeable, mental signs are filled with planets. He has Neptune at 1 Sagittarius, Saturn at 1 Gemini, the Moon at 8 Virgo, Venus at 19.5 Gemini, and Pluto at 27 Virgo. These are in cadent wholesign houses. Neptune and Saturn are opposed. This shows a relationship between imagination and reality. Musk puts ideas into form. These two square the Virgo Moon which is the body representing him and part of his mind. So, he is personally and mentally involved in putting ideas into form.
His Jupiter is with Neptune. Planets conjunct Jupiter increase wealth. His Jupiter opposes Saturn. This shows buying and selling activity and loses and gains, business in general.
His Venus in Gemini traditionally shows multiple relationships. It’s trine to Mars activates the love impulse. He has had 4 major relationships and 14 children with them. This is a Leo like pride. Remember he has the Sun near the Ascendant. Trump has 5 children with only 3 wives. He has Mars on his Leo Ascendant very near Regulus.
Finally, Pluto at 27 Virgo is sextile Jupiter and Neptune and trine Saturn. This is a bit of needed harmony and shows that all of the higher octaves are active. We can’t ignore the fact that the Moon at 8 Virgo is moving toward Pluto at 27 Virgo. This shows a move toward extreme activity in a mental sign and a mental house. His X is moving toward free speech, his Boring company is moving vehicles toward places, his Tesla is moving toward cleaner air and new transportation methods, his Neuralink is moving debilitated people toward more functionality, his Spacex Starlink is moving toward global communication, his AI and robots are moving toward the future, and his Starship is moving toward Mars.
In Sept. ’25 Mars went into Cancer. It is there in Sept, Oct, Jan, Feb., March, and until mid-April. The U.S. chart has Venus, Jupiter, the Sun, and Mercury in Cancer. Trump has Mercury, Venus, and Saturn in Cancer and Musk has the Sun, the Ascendant, and Mercury in Cancer.
Mars stimulating all if this shows the intense activity of the new Administration, and Musk’s involvement with it. And he and Trump have their Mercurys conjunct.
Pluto early in Aquarius moving toward Mars, Neptune just into the Aries 10th, Saturn soon to be in Aries 10th, Uranus soon to be in Gemini interacting with mutable planets, and Jupiter soon to be in Cancer for a year shows ongoing and increased activity for Elon.
