Analysis of Björk's astrological chart

The Scorpion's Strangeness Fascinates Crowds

Enigmatic, whimsical, and talented, these are the adjectives that well summarize the personality of Björk. A complete artist and globally famous, she has resisted fads and trends to lead a unique career, off the beaten path.

Astrologically, she is a pure Scorpio, with the Sun, the Ascendant, and the Moon in this sign, always seeking to push her boundaries.

The three main indicators of her astrological theme are thus marked by the demand, depth, and magnetism of the eighth sign.

This strong zodiacal emphasis also explains at the same time a very reserved attitude despite public recognition, as Björk has never sought to be particularly loved.

Born in Reykjavik, Björk was a child prodigy passionate about music, learning to play the piano and flute and immersing herself in the history of great composers. Raised in a hippie family, she was greatly influenced by her mother, who separated from her father at her birth and was an environmental activist before it became mainstream.

A recital she gave for her school changed everything for the singer, as her teachers decided to send a recording to the only Icelandic radio station at the time. Her first album catapulted her to success at eleven years old, as it quickly became a gold record in Iceland.

The unique sound of her melodies, her highly personal voice that spans three octaves, and an aura that has never left her, partly explain this early phenomenon. And perhaps the magical and mysterious part of Scorpio?

Sensitive to the currents of her time and very curious about everything, she delved into punk music and new wave. Again, choosing to stand out, she formed the first female punk group in her native country.

These various elements illustrate a marked Neptunian dominance, with the planet falling exactly on the Ascendant, depicting the way she wishes to project herself in existence.

Also in the 1st house, the Sun, bearer of Neptunian energy, underscores the strange and fascinating aspects of a conjunction against a Scorpio backdrop. Björk is thus the embodiment of the pure artist who fears nothing, immersed in her deep and intimate world, perpetually in search of an elsewhere that stimulates her.

Capable of magnetizing crowds, she embodies the feelings, fears, and hopes of her generation. These abilities also shine through in an interesting acting career, with roles crafted to allow her to express the fantasy of her unique universe.

An Eccentric Appearance, So Very Scorpio

As a true icon, Björk takes pleasure in showcasing herself in the most extravagant looks possible. They have even become a defining factor of her artistic expression.

In her early days, however, she wore long skirts with sneakers, which did not yet markedly differ from others.

It was especially from the year 2000 that she refined her taste for futuristic outfits that delight renowned stylists.

At the Oscars in 2001, for example, she donned a white tutu dress with a swan's head around her neck. This dress was later exhibited at the MoMA - the Museum of Modern Art - during the retrospective dedicated to her.

The Torments of a Natal Moon in the Twelfth House

Her natal Moon, located in the 12th house in Scorpio, describes a nature that is rather anxious and reserved.

This luminary also reveals much about her character, which protects itself against suffering.

Despite her precautions, an attempted attack in 1996, orchestrated by an obsessed fan, leaves her with deep emotional scars.

Pluto Close to the Midheaven Imprints Its Mark

Pluto, in conjunction with Uranus, deserves a predominant place in her chart. Conjunct the Midheaven (with a 7-degree orb, still in the 9th house), it grants her immense creative power.

Indeed, the planet is the ruler of the Scorpio stellium, namely her Sun, Moon, and Ascendant, as well as Neptune, which pulls all the strings. Like a god of the underworld, Pluto leads the dance, allowing her to impose her uncompromising aesthetic vision.

This inventive force is tinged with rebellion due to Mercury, ruler of the MC, and in a square aspect to this angle and the Uranus-Pluto duo.

Mars and Venus Conjunct in Capricorn Create an Enchanting and Subtle Seduction

With Venus in Capricorn conjunct Mars (albeit with a wide orb), very harmonious, Björk's charm is made of animalism mixed with a kind of subtle and cold seduction at the same time.

This may be secret but still underlines a desire to cling to concrete experiences.

The trine with Uranus and Pluto strengthens her artistic impact. Björk thus skillfully uses her talent to earn money, notably thanks to these three planets, Mercury, Mars, and Venus, in the 2nd house.

Mercury and Jupiter in Mutual Reception

In her chart, the mutual reception between Mercury in Sagittarius and Jupiter in Gemini enables her to be particularly sensitive to causes that interest her.

Mercury, hampered by its conflicting aspects with Pluto and Uranus as we have seen, can thus rely on a boost of confidence coming from this exchange of energies.

Interesting Short-term Transits

In 2024, Jupiter transiting through Taurus until spring supports her planets in Capricorn, while Uranus, which preceded it in this sign, is in harmony with the Earth and Water elements well represented in her chart.

There is no doubt that Björk will find a way to continue her artistic journey in a rich and fruitful manner in the coming months.
