Beyoncé’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief

Beyoncé was born in Houston, Texas, on 4 September 1981, a Friday. That makes Beyoncé a Virgo, with the Moon in Scorpio and Aries rising. Beyoncé turns 45 in 2026. The birth time, 21:47, comes from Astro-Databank with a Rodden rating of AA, which means it was taken from a birth certificate or birth record.

Air carries the most weight: five of the ten planets, against fire two, water two and earth one. By modality the count is five cardinal, three fixed and two mutable. Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto all fall in Libra. Closest of the aspects is the conjunction between Moon and Uranus, 0.3° from exact. No planet was retrograde. The Moon was a waxing crescent.

Beyoncé’s Sun, Moon and rising sign

Sun sign

Virgo

12° Virgo 27'

A Virgo Sun refines. Beyoncé is likely to notice what could be better and quietly make it so, keeping the highest standards for themselves. The art of this placement is knowing when good enough is the wiser choice.

All Virgo Suns

Moon sign

Scorpio

26° Scorpio 44'

The Moon in Scorpio feels everything and shows little. For Beyoncé that suggests trust that is slow, private and absolute; betrayal, once it happens, is not forgotten. This Moon is restored by intimacy without performance and by time alone to let things move.

Rising sign

Aries

28° Aries 59'

With Aries rising, Beyoncé is likely to come across as direct, quick and ready. People tend to sense energy before they know what Beyoncé thinks, and the usual entrance is that of someone about to start something.

Beyoncé’s planets, sign by sign

Each planet by sign and house: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Beyoncé’s private life.

  1. Sun in Virgo

    12° Virgo 27' · fifth house

    purpose and vitality

    A Virgo Sun finds purpose in being useful and doing a job properly, and Beyoncé's energy tends to stay steady as long as there is a task worth doing well. Rest is the hard part, because it can feel undeserved until everything is fixed. Typically a piece of work is still being adjusted long after everyone else would call it finished.

    With the Sun in the fifth house, self-expression, romance and creative play are probably where Beyoncé feels most alive, and holding that side back tends to leave them flat. The placement asks for a stage of some kind, even a small and informal one, or that natural warmth has nowhere to go.

  2. Moon in Scorpio

    26° Scorpio 44' · seventh house

    needs and habits

    For Beyoncé, the Moon in Scorpio means emotional needs that run deep and private, and a preference for managing a hard feeling alone over explaining it while it is still raw. Trust builds slowly and is rarely given back once broken. Even among the people closest to them, this Moon is likely to need real privacy.

    With the Moon in the seventh house, Beyoncé is likely to feel most themselves inside a close partnership, reading the emotional temperature of a relationship constantly and by instinct. Too long alone can leave them unmoored, even when nothing is wrong.

  3. Mercury in Libra

    3° Libra 16' · sixth house

    mind and voice

    Mercury in Libra thinks by weighing both sides, and Beyoncé tends to communicate diplomatically, often finding the version of an idea that will land well with whoever is listening. Settling on an opinion can take so long that the moment for it passes. They may change their mind in the middle of a conversation because the other point had merit.

    Beyoncé thinks in systems and checklists, and in how to make an everyday process work a little better than it did before. With Mercury in the sixth house, analysing the small details of a routine is satisfying in itself, not a chore they merely put up with.

  4. Venus in Libra

    20° Libra 48' · sixth house

    love and values

    Venus in Libra loves with an instinct for balance and partnership, and Beyoncé probably values harmony, fairness and someone who makes an effort to look good together. The risk with this Venus is staying in a relationship for the sake of the pairing itself. Beyoncé may give up a personal preference before anyone has even asked.

    In Beyoncé's chart, Venus in the sixth house lends grace to the working day, and ordinary tasks often become more pleasant for the people alongside them. A harmonious workplace probably matters more than an impressive one, and tension there can wear on Beyoncé faster than the workload does.

  5. Mars in Leo

    1° Leo 55' · fourth house

    drive and anger

    Mars in Leo acts with confidence and wants the effort to be visible, and for Beyoncé its anger is likely to flare when pride or loyalty is challenged. The tension is turning a disagreement into a matter of ego. Criticism of the work can feel personal to a Leo Mars, even when it was not meant that way.

    Mars in the fourth house puts a lot of energy into home and family, and in Beyoncé's chart it points to a protective instinct towards the people close to them. The placement is also linked with an urge to build, repair and rearrange, so that home is rarely a place that stands still.

  6. Jupiter in Libra

    12° Libra 29' · sixth house

    growth and excess

    In Beyoncé's chart, Jupiter in Libra suggests growth through partnership and a gift for bringing people together. Excess here looks like pleasing people so broadly that every expectation becomes a commitment. Someone with this Jupiter is often the connector whose introductions and events other people benefit from more than they realise.

    Beyoncé finds meaning in routines that others would call dull, and brings optimism to work every day. With Jupiter in the sixth house, growth comes by steady, patient improvement rather than by one dramatic leap.

  7. Saturn in Libra

    9° Libra 06' · sixth house

    discipline and doubt

    For Beyoncé, Saturn in Libra means discipline built around relationships, and fairness and commitment are trusted slowly. The doubt is overthinking whether a partnership is truly equal. With time, people with this Saturn tend to become the ones others rely on to negotiate and to keep things fair.

    With Saturn in the sixth house, Beyoncé takes daily responsibilities seriously, sometimes to the point of being harder on themselves than the job requires. Saturn here keeps up a discipline over years, long after others would have let it slip.

  8. Uranus in Scorpio

    26° Scorpio 28' · seventh house

    freedom, generational

    Much of Beyoncé's age group has Uranus in Scorpio. It changes attitudes to power, secrecy and what is held in common, often while living through upheavals in institutions once considered permanent. In an individual it tends to be a low tolerance for hidden agendas.

    Uranus in the seventh house asks for relationships with more freedom and less convention than the average partnership, and Beyoncé may look for people who respect that independence. A sudden shift in a relationship may rattle Beyoncé less than most.

  9. Neptune in Sagittarius

    22° Sagittarius 05' · eighth house

    imagination, generational

    Neptune in Sagittarius is the dream of a generation: grand systems of belief and utopian journeys. What belongs to Beyoncé in it may be a hopeful conviction that the right philosophy will resolve a practical problem.

    With Neptune in the eighth house, intimacy can feel like dissolving the usual boundaries with another person, for better and sometimes for worse, and Beyoncé can be unusually sensitive to what goes unsaid. Trust may ask them to keep their feet on the ground rather than merge completely and lose their own outline.

  10. Pluto in Libra

    22° Libra 40' · sixth house

    power, generational

    Pluto in Libra is the signature of the generation Beyoncé belongs to, because Pluto moves so slowly. That generation transforms ideas of partnership, fairness and what people owe one another. Personally it can be an intense need for relationships to be fundamentally fair.

    Daily work gets Beyoncé's full intensity, and a role or a routine is often transformed completely once they commit themselves to it. With Pluto in the sixth house, a job is hard to do by halves, so rest may be something Beyoncé has to choose on purpose.

Aspects in Beyoncé’s chart

How the planets stand to each other, tightest first.

  1. Moon conjunction Uranus

    0.3° separating

    The Moon conjunct Uranus suggests an emotional life that is unpredictable and independent, with feelings that arrive suddenly rather than build gradually. There is freedom in that for Beyoncé, and the work is letting people close enough to see the pattern behind the surprises.

  2. Venus sextile Neptune

    1.3° applying

    Romance and creative warmth tend to be within easy reach for Beyoncé, thanks to a gentle working link between affection and imagination. The tenderness is soft and pleasant, not an intense longing, and it is the sort that makes ordinary moments with someone feel a little more meaningful.

  3. Mercury sextile Mars

    1.4° separating

    Speaking up quickly and clearly when it matters comes easily to Beyoncé, since thinking and drive work in step. That plain directness serves them well in fast-moving conversations and quick decisions alike.

  4. Venus conjunction Pluto

    1.9° applying

    Love tends to run deep and complete under Venus conjunct Pluto, and Beyoncé is likely to lean towards intensity over casual affection. Relationships gain depth from it. What takes practice is trusting a connection without needing to test it to prove it is real.

  5. Jupiter conjunction Saturn

    3.4° separating

    Growth and discipline are unusually well matched when Jupiter is conjunct Saturn, so Beyoncé's optimism tends to come with a realistic plan attached. It is an effective combination for building things that last, with vision balanced by the patience to see it through.

  6. Moon trine Mars

    5.2° applying

    Beyoncé is likely to act on emotional instinct with confidence and little hesitation, because feeling and drive back each other up. There is a natural courage in a Moon-Mars trine, the kind that makes other people look to them when a fast decision is needed.

The rest, listed without a reading. Those between Uranus, Neptune and Pluto hold for years at a time, so everyone born while one holds shares it.
