Cancer Sun · Virgo Moon · Cancer rising
Elon Musk’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
Elon Musk was born on Monday, 28 June 1971, in Pretoria, South Africa. That makes Elon a Cancer, with the Moon in Virgo and Cancer rising. Elon turns 55 in 2026. The birth time, 07:30, comes from Astro-Databank with a Rodden rating of B, which means it was taken from a biography or autobiography.
Air carries the most weight: four of the ten planets, against water three, earth two and fire one. Across cardinal, fixed and mutable signs the split is three, two and five. No two planets sit closer to an exact angle than Saturn and Neptune: an opposition, 0.3° from exact. Two planets were retrograde: Jupiter and Neptune. The Moon was a waxing crescent.
StarMap's dataset holds 12 other people born on 28 June, among them Muhammad Yunus, Kevin De Bruyne and Kathy Bates. Fabien Barthez was born on the very same day. Wikidata links Elon with two people in the dataset: Amber Heard (listed as partners, 2016 to 2017) and Grimes (listed as partners, 2018 to 2021).
Elon Musk’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Cancer
5° Cancer 53'
A Cancer Sun protects. For Elon Musk, home, memory and the people they have decided are theirs tend to sit at the centre of things, and they probably read a room before anyone speaks. Care is the strength of this Sun, and their task is to include themselves in it.
Moon sign
Virgo
8° Virgo 14'
A Virgo Moon feels by fixing. When something is wrong, Elon is likely to look for the practical cause and to calm down by tidying, planning or being useful. The lesson of this Moon is to accept help without a to-do list attached.
Rising sign
Cancer
13° Cancer 30'
With Cancer rising, Elon tends to come across as approachable and a little guarded. People often confide in a Cancer rising early and find that they are noticed in return; the shell opens on its own schedule.

Elon Musk’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign and house: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Elon Musk’s private life.
Sun in Cancer
5° Cancer 53' · twelfth house
purpose and vitality
With the Sun in Cancer, Elon Musk is likely to feel most alive when caring for people and places that matter to them, and purpose is tied to belonging somewhere. Feeling unneeded is the sore spot for this placement, and it can be taken personally. The whole day may go better after checking in on someone they love.
With the Sun in the twelfth house, Elon's identity may be quieter and more private than it looks from the outside, and solitude is probably where they recharge the parts of themselves that rarely get seen. The Sun here treats rest as the fuel the rest of life runs on, not as wasted time.
Moon in Virgo
8° Virgo 14' · second house
needs and habits
The Moon in Virgo runs towards order, and a messy space or an unfinished list can unsettle Elon's mood more than most people would guess. Small, useful tasks are calming. The trouble can start when Elon's own needs become another chore to get right instead of something to enjoy.
Security, with the Moon in the second house, comes from familiar things and clearly held values, and for Elon sudden change or big leaps hold little appeal. When their sense of what matters is shaken, their whole mood follows it.
Mercury in Cancer
14° Cancer 03' · first house
mind and voice
Mercury in Cancer thinks in terms of memory and feeling as much as logic, and Elon probably communicates best when there is emotional trust in the room. Mood can colour how a fact gets delivered or received. Years after the details have faded, this is a mind that remembers exactly how a conversation felt.
Mercury in the first house belongs to someone who thinks out loud, and Elon's thoughts often arrive first in almost any conversation. A thought is usually spoken nearly as soon as it forms, sometimes before they have fully decided what they think.
Venus in Gemini
19° Gemini 23' · eleventh house
love and values
Venus in Gemini loves through conversation, wit and mental connection, and tends to find a dull partner harder to stay with than a challenging one. Elon probably values variety and being kept interested. Attention may wander with this Venus, and that can be treated as more serious than it is. Banter is the natural way to flirt here, more than anything more direct.
Friendship matters enormously with Venus in the eleventh house, a placement that tends to gather a warm, easygoing circle around Elon without any effort to draw it. With Venus here, the instinct is to keep the peace in a group, often smoothing over tension before anyone else has noticed it.
Mars in Aquarius
20° Aquarius 54' · eighth house
drive and anger
Mars in Aquarius acts on principle, and its anger surfaces most over unfairness or hypocrisy rather than personal slights. Elon can detach from a conflict so thoroughly that the other person feels shut out. The issue tends to get argued with heat while the relationship itself is treated with strange calm.
Mars in the eighth house suggests close bonds with some heat in them, and Elon may find the harder conversations about trust, power and vulnerability less daunting than most. With Mars here, a difficult truth is apt to be faced head-on, not stepped around.
Jupiter in Scorpio
27° Scorpio 38' ℞ · fifth house
growth and excess
Jupiter in Scorpio grows by facing what is difficult rather than avoiding it, even when that is the harder road at the time. The overreach, for Elon, may be an intensity that turns a manageable situation into an all-consuming one. The resilience tends to be noticed only after the hard part is over.
Jupiter in the fifth house brings a sense of plenty to Elon's creativity, romance and play, and the placement enjoys these parts of life fully, without holding back. Elon is likely to be at their most generous and most confident around the things they love doing.
Saturn in Gemini
1° Gemini 07' · eleventh house
discipline and doubt
Saturn in Gemini builds discipline around clear expression, and it often begins with doubt about whether an idea is good enough to say out loud. For Elon that would mean overpreparing before speaking or writing anything. Once the self-consciousness eases, the result can be someone unusually precise and credible with words.
With Saturn in the eleventh house, Elon may keep a smaller circle of friends, but holds on to those friends with loyalty over many years and without much fuss. Belonging to a group is likely to take longer to feel secure, and to be valued all the more for that.
Uranus in Libra
9° Libra 28' · third house
freedom, generational
Elon holds Uranus in Libra in common with many people born in the same stretch of years. Together that generation reshapes ideas of partnership, fairness and how relationships are arranged. Its personal side is a readiness to question traditional roles more openly than earlier generations felt able to.
Uranus in the third house works in sudden leaps rather than tidy steps, and Elon often says the thing nobody expected, in exactly the way nobody expected. New ideas excite them far more than familiar ones, and hearing the same thought twice bores them fast.
Neptune in Sagittarius
0° Sagittarius 48' ℞ · fifth house
imagination, generational
Neptune in Sagittarius is the dream of a generation: grand systems of belief and utopian journeys. What belongs to Elon in it may be a hopeful conviction that the right philosophy will resolve a practical problem.
For Elon, romance and creativity may carry a dreamlike, sometimes idealised quality, and Neptune in the fifth house can fall for a fantasy as easily as for an actual person. Artistic expression, in whatever form, probably gives Elon's imagination somewhere solid to go.
Pluto in Virgo
27° Virgo 05' · third house
power, generational
Pluto in Virgo is shared by Elon and many people born in the same span of years. That generation lives through deep change in work, in how services are organised, and in daily life itself. In one person that can be intensity around control, order and how much any one system can carry.
With Pluto in the third house, Elon's mind is drawn to what lies underneath a conversation, and they rarely settle for the tidy, surface version of an explanation. Words can be a way of exposing what other people would rather leave hidden, even when that makes things briefly uncomfortable.
Aspects in Elon Musk’s chart
How the planets stand to each other, tightest first.
Saturn opposition Neptune
0.3° separating
Grounded, practical planning sits opposite a tendency towards doubt, or disillusionment about whether the effort is worth it, and Elon Musk is likely to know both. Checking in with the original inspiration, and not only with the workload, tends to restore the balance.
Jupiter sextile Pluto
0.6° applying
Meaningful growth without constant upheaval is what Jupiter sextile Pluto describes, with Elon's sense of possibility and depth working in concert. The opportunities that matter tend to come at a manageable pace, not all at once in a way that would be hard to absorb.
Venus trine Mars
1.5° applying
Elon is likely to have a warm, confident way of going after what, and who, they want, since affection and drive back each other up. Romance and creative work tend to come without strain under this trine, in a manner other people find refreshingly straightforward.
Sun sextile Moon
2.4° separating
Goals and instincts get along under a Sun-Moon sextile, offering Elon a gentle opening to build confidence whenever they choose to use it. A little deliberate effort turns this ease into lasting self-assurance, the kind that holds up even when a day goes sideways.
Jupiter conjunction Neptune
3.2° separating
For Elon, growth is likely to be idealistic and compassionate, a matter of causes, beliefs or visions bigger than daily concerns. Jupiter conjunct Neptune supplies the inspiration and leaves them the job of checking a beautiful idea against what can be achieved.
Jupiter opposition Saturn
3.5° separating
Elon is likely to feel two instincts at once: to expand into new opportunities, and to consolidate what is already in hand. Neither is wrong, and with Jupiter opposite Saturn a deliberate alternation between them tends to work better than treating it as a permanent choice.
