Neil Young’s birth chart

Neil Young's full reading

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

1. ☉Sun in Scorpio

   ♏ 19° Scorpio 57'

   purpose and vitality

   They find purpose in going past the surface of things, and their vitality is fuelled by intensity rather than ease. The tension is needing a crisis or a deep dive to feel truly engaged. It shows up as boredom with small talk and total absorption once a subject actually interests they.

2. ☽Moon in Aquarius

   ♒ 16° Aquarius 38'

   needs and habits

   They proces daily feelings by stepping back and thinking them through rather than sitting inside them, and they need a degree of independence built into any close relationship. The tension is intellectualising a feeling instead of simply having it. It shows up as needing time alone to recover even after a good day with people.

3. ☿Mercury in Sagittarius

   ♐ 11° Sagittarius 35'

   mind and voice

   They think in big, connective leaps and communicate with enthusiasm and a wide frame of reference drawn from everywhere they have been. The tension is generalising past what the details actually support. It shows up as answering a specific question with a sweeping theory nobody quite asked for.

4. ♀Venus in Scorpio

   ♏ 0° Scorpio 31'

   love and values

   They love intensely and privately, and they value depth and total honesty over ease. The tension is testing loyalty in ways that can create the very distance Neil is afraid of. It shows up as an all-or-nothing quality to how they commit, with little interest in anything in between.

5. ♂Mars in Leo

   ♌ 0° Leo 12'

   drive and anger

   They act with confidence and want their effort to be visible, and their anger flares when their pride or their loyalty is challenged. The tension is turning a disagreement into a matter of ego. It shows up as taking criticism of their work personally, even when it was not meant that way.

6. ♃Jupiter in Libra

   ♎ 16° Libra 44'

   growth and excess

   They grow through partnership and a genuine gift for bringing people together. The overreach is people-pleasing so broadly that they end up overcommitted to everyone's expectations at once. It shows up as being the connector whose introductions and events other people benefit from more than they realise.

7. ♄Saturn in Cancer

   ♋ 24° Cancer 51' ℞

   discipline and doubt

   They build discipline around emotional security, often shaped by an early home life that asked they to be steadier than a child should have to be. The doubt shows up as difficulty asking for care even when they clearly need it. It shows up as becoming, over time, the dependable emotional anchor for people who never quite return the favour.

8. ♅Uranus in Gemini

   ♊ 16° Gemini 26' ℞

   freedom, generational

   Shared by an entire generational span, this placement marks people who come of age alongside a communication revolution, fluent in tools older generations learned later in life. Personally, it can show up as a restless need for new information.

9. ♆Neptune in Libra

   ♎ 7° Libra 41'

   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

    ♌ 11° Leo 48'

    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 Neil Young's chart talk to each other, tightest first.

1. Moon trine Jupiter

   0.1° separating

   Their feelings and their optimism reinforce each other, giving they a naturally buoyant emotional life that recovers well from setbacks. People find real comfort in their presence, even on days when they have not said very much at all.

2. Moon trine Uranus

   0.2° separating

   Their feelings and their independence cooperate easily, letting they stay emotionally open without feeling trapped by it. Closeness and freedom coexist for they with unusual ease, more than most people manage even after years of deliberate practice.

3. Mercury trine Pluto

   0.2° applying

   Their thinking and their depth support each other, giving they a natural ability to work through complex or hidden material without getting overwhelmed. Research and difficult conversations both come easily to they, more so than people who have not seen what they have already worked through.

4. Venus square Mars

   0.3° separating

   Their desires and their need for harmony can clash, showing up as tension between wanting something and wanting to keep the peace. The lesson is voicing a want directly instead of letting it leak out sideways.
