Elvis Costello’s birth chart

Elvis Costello's full reading

Each planet by sign. First-draft readings in the StarMap voice, reviewed by our consulting astrologer before launch.

1. ☉Sun in Virgo

   ♍ 1° Virgo 42'

   purpose and vitality

   They find purpose in being useful and doing a job properly, and their energy is steady as long as there is a task worth doing well. The tension is feeling like they have not earned rest until everything is fixed. It shows up in the way they keep tweaking something long after everyone else would call it finished.

2. ☽Moon in Cancer

   ♋ 25° Cancer 55'

   needs and habits

   Their needs are tied to home, routine and the people they check in on daily. Elvis is steadied by small rituals like a particular meal or a particular chair. The tension is reading other people's moods so closely that they absorb them as their own without noticing.

3. ☿Mercury in Virgo

   ♍ 5° Virgo 18'

   mind and voice

   Their thinking is precise and detail oriented, and they communicate clearly because they have usually checked their facts first. The tension is fixating on a small error and losing sight of the larger point. It shows up as editing a message three times before sending something everyone else would have sent in one go.

4. ♀Venus in Libra

   ♎ 17° Libra 29'

   love and values

   They love with an instinct for balance and partnership, and they value harmony, fairness and someone who makes an effort to look good together. The tension is staying in a relationship for the sake of the pairing itself. It shows up as compromising on their own preference before anyone has even asked they to.

5. ♂Mars in Capricorn

   ♑ 0° Capricorn 17'

   drive and anger

   They act with discipline and patience, playing a longer game than most people around they, and their anger is controlled, arriving as coldness rather than heat. The tension is going quiet and distant instead of saying what is actually wrong. It shows up as outworking a frustration rather than voicing it.

6. ♃Jupiter in Cancer

   ♋ 20° Cancer 25'

   growth and excess

   They grow through nurturing others and building a home that people want to return to. The overreach is overprotecting the people they love past the point they need it. It shows up as generosity that shows up as home-cooked meals, open doors and an instinct to take in anyone who needs somewhere to land.

7. ♄Saturn in Scorpio

   ♏ 4° Scorpio 35'

   discipline and doubt

   They build discipline around trust and control, often shaped by an early loss of something they could not get back. The doubt shows up as bracing for betrayal even in relationships that have given they no real reason to. It shows up as an eventual, hard-earned comfort with vulnerability that most people around they never see they struggle for.

8. ♅Uranus in Cancer

   ♋ 25° Cancer 40'

   freedom, generational

   Shared by everyone born in this span of years, this placement marks a generation that redefines home and family, departing from the structures their own parents grew up inside. Personally, it can show up as a pull to build family life differently.

9. ♆Neptune in Libra

   ♎ 23° Libra 57'

   imagination, generational

   Shared by everyone born in this span, this placement marks a generation that idealises romantic partnership, often shaped by media images of love that outpace real relationships. Personally, it can show up as a dreamy standard for what a relationship should feel like.

10. ♇Pluto in Leo

    ♌ 24° Leo 54'

    power, generational

    Shared by everyone born in this span of years, this placement marks a generation that transforms ideas of individual power, leadership and fame. Personally, it can show up as a charged relationship with authority and who gets to hold the spotlight.

Aspects

How the planets in Elvis Costello's chart talk to each other, tightest first.

1. Moon conjunction Uranus

   0.2° separating

   Their emotional life is unpredictable and independent, and feelings tend to arrive suddenly rather than build gradually. This gives they real emotional freedom, and the edge is letting people close enough to see the pattern behind the surprises.

2. Mercury sextile Saturn

   0.7° separating

   Their thinking and their sense of structure cooperate, making it easier to turn a loose idea into something solid. This is quiet, practical clarity that shows up most clearly when a plan actually has to work.

3. Neptune sextile Pluto

   1.0° separating

   Shared by this generation, the placement marks collective imagination and transformation cooperating gently, with relatively little friction. Personally, it can show up as cultural belief shifting alongside deeper change with real ease.

4. Sun trine Mars

   1.4° separating

   Their confidence and their drive move in the same direction, so they tend to act on their goals with very little internal resistance. This is genuine, uncomplicated energy that other people notice and often want to be near.
