Elvis Presley’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Capricorn
17° Capricorn 13'
A Capricorn Sun endures. Ambition, patience and a dry sense of humour are what tend to carry Elvis Presley up long slopes other people give up on. The placement learns, eventually, that rest is part of the climb.
Moon sign
Pisces
2° Pisces 01'
With the Moon in Pisces, Elvis may well pick up the mood of a whole room. Music, water, sleep and imagination tend to restore them, and it matters whose moods they carry home. The empathy of this Moon is a gift that needs a door.
Rising sign
Sagittarius
12° Sagittarius 21'
With Sagittarius rising, Elvis probably comes across as open, frank and optimistic. Around a Sagittarius rising, people feel that anything might happen, and this is often the one who says the thing everyone was thinking.

Elvis Presley’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign and house: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Elvis Presley’s private life.
Sun in Capricorn
17° Capricorn 13' · second house
purpose and vitality
With the Sun in Capricorn, Elvis Presley is likely to find purpose in building a reputation and a structure that will outlast them, with a vitality that is steady rather than showy. The trap can be measuring their worth by output alone. They may well work through tiredness instead of naming it, until someone else has to point it out.
The Sun in the second house rests Elvis's sense of worth on what is built and looked after over time, not on one good season. They feel most confident when the things they own and make reflect their own taste, their own standards and their own pace.
Moon in Pisces
2° Pisces 01' · third house
needs and habits
The Moon in Pisces makes for a porous daily mood, one that picks up the emotional temperature of a room without choosing to. Quiet, music or time near water probably restores Elvis more than talking things out. It can be easy for them to miss how much of what they feel belongs to someone else.
The Moon in the third house suggests someone who talks or writes a feeling through until it makes sense, and Elvis may find silence around an unspoken worry deeply unsettling. A conversation with the right person at the right moment is often how Elvis finds their footing again.
Mercury in Capricorn
22° Capricorn 18' · second house
mind and voice
Mercury in Capricorn thinks methodically, and Elvis tends to communicate in a measured, practical way that people trust. The focus on a useful conclusion can be so strong that ideas which have not yet proven their worth are dismissed. Elvis will often get straight to the point in a conversation other people expected to be casual.
With Mercury in the second house, Elvis weighs up what things are worth with care and holds clear, well-reasoned opinions about value that they can explain in detail. Talking a choice or a plan through out loud helps them settle on the right one.
Venus in Capricorn
29° Capricorn 21' · second house
love and values
For Elvis, Venus in Capricorn means loving in a measured, committed way and valuing stability, ambition and someone to build a life with. The trap is treating a relationship like a project to manage rather than let unfold. With this Venus, love comes out more easily as providing and planning than as words said out loud.
With Venus in the second house, Elvis has an eye for quality and comfort, and being surrounded by beautiful things probably matters more to them than an outsider would guess. Elvis's taste leans towards pleasure, ease and things made well, over things that are merely practical.
Mars in Libra
12° Libra 49' · tenth house
drive and anger
In Elvis's chart, Mars in Libra acts diplomatically and prefers negotiation to confrontation, and its anger tends to stay buried until it is too big to ignore. Avoided consistently, conflict leaves resentment building underneath the calm surface. The pattern is saying yes to something that rankled, then feeling it later.
Mars in the tenth house makes ambition the driving force, and Elvis is apt to push hard towards a public goal once their sights are set on it. Competition at work sharpens their focus where it might intimidate someone else, and a proper challenge can bring out Elvis's best effort.
Jupiter in Scorpio
18° Scorpio 04' · eleventh 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 Elvis, 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.
With Jupiter in the eleventh house, Elvis brings enthusiasm to the causes and community projects that catch their interest, and keeps a wide and varied circle of friends. In a group working towards a shared goal, that enthusiasm spreads.
Saturn in Aquarius
25° Aquarius 44' · third house
discipline and doubt
With Saturn in Aquarius, Elvis's discipline probably gathers around belonging to a group on their own terms; it is the placement of the one-time outsider. The doubt means holding back the stranger ideas until there is no risk of mockery. The outsider often ends up as a trusted voice in exactly the kind of community that once seemed unlikely to accept them.
In Elvis's chart, Saturn sits in the third house, a placement associated with caution in speech: a sense of being unheard or over-careful with words, and a freedom to speak up that comes with deliberate practice. What they say often carries weight, because they choose their words with care.
Uranus in Aries
27° Aries 30' · fifth house
freedom, generational
Uranus spends about seven years in each sign, so Elvis shares Uranus in Aries with many people of a similar age. It marks a generation that pushes for change through direct, individual action rather than waiting for permission. In one life it can appear as impatience with the slow-moving institutions older generations built.
Uranus in the fifth house gives creativity and romance a spark of the unexpected, and a predictable routine in either is apt to leave Elvis restless. The people and projects that appeal with this placement tend to be the ones that surprise, not the ones that confirm what is already known.
Neptune in Virgo
14° Virgo 27' ℞ · ninth house
imagination, generational
Neptune moves slowly, so Elvis shares its place in Virgo with people born years either side. The imagination of this generation turns towards service, craft and idealised routines of self-improvement. In one life it can mean chasing an impossibly perfect daily practice.
With Neptune in the ninth house, Elvis may be drawn to big questions about meaning, and travel can feel like a search for something beyond the practical reason for the trip. The placement is associated with ideals that are felt more than argued, and held quietly and steadily.
Pluto in Cancer
25° Cancer 08' ℞ · eighth house
power, generational
Pluto in Cancer dates Elvis to an era rather than describing one person. Those born in it live through deep transformation of family, home and nationhood. What an individual may carry is intensity around belonging and who counts as family.
The eighth house is Pluto's natural home, and for Elvis questions of trust, power and what is truly shared between people can matter enormously. Pluto here wants to understand what most people are too afraid to look at directly, even about themselves.
Aspects in Elvis Presley’s chart
How the planets stand to each other, tightest first.
Sun sextile Jupiter
0.8° applying
Optimism is part of who Elvis Presley is, and it tends to show them open doors, provided they are willing to walk through. With some deliberate effort behind it, the outlook of a Sun-Jupiter sextile becomes momentum that carries past the first burst of enthusiasm.
Saturn sextile Uranus
1.8° applying
Discipline and independence combine in this sextile to give Elvis a workable way of keeping a routine while leaving room to change it. The flexibility is quiet and sustainable, and it keeps a good habit from calcifying into an unquestioned rule.
Venus square Uranus
1.9° separating
In Elvis's chart the desire for closeness and the need for freedom can work against each other, and this square is known for sudden shifts in an otherwise good relationship. The remedy is to build enough independence into the relationship that none has to be created by pulling away.
Sun trine Neptune
2.8° separating
Elvis's identity and imagination flow together easily, giving them an intuitive, artistic quality that feels natural rather than performed. With the Sun trine Neptune, compassion comes without much effort, and other people often sense it before a word has been said.
Mercury opposition Pluto
2.8° applying
With Mercury opposite Pluto, other people's attempts to control the story can collide with Elvis's own conclusions and turn a disagreement into a deeper power struggle. Staying with the argument itself, rather than the fight for control, resolves more.
Jupiter sextile Neptune
3.6° separating
Inspired ideas are within Elvis's reach without any loss of footing, since possibility and imagination are gently linked by this sextile. The optimism is soft and workable, useful for keeping a project hopeful without letting it drift far from what is real.
