Analysis of Drake's astrological chart

A Precocious Scorpio

It is logical that a person born with the Sun in Scorpio, and whose personality is typical of this sign, has chosen to title his album "Scorpion", thus delighting all astrologers. We are of course talking about Drake, born Aubrey Drake Graham in Toronto. A true Canadian of muscular build who draws large crowds when he is on tour. The rapper was the most listened to artist on Apple Music in 2018, a great feat which does not astonish specialists at all.

The first quality of Scorpio which comes to mind is determination. Drake belongs to a family of musicians. His father, Dennis Graham, was a drummer in a group, and his uncle, Larry Graham, was a bassist. From an early age, the little Aubrey became more passionate about music than about school. Television offered him his first opportunity to make a breakthrough. He started in 2001 as he landed the lead role in the TV series Degrassi: The New Generation, in which he was Jimmy Brooks, a famous basket player, until the producers removed this character in 2010.

However, as we repeatedly mentioned, Scorpios never give up. Drake can rely on the assets of a chart loaded with magnetism. Indeed, his natal Sun, at 0° Scorpio, conjuncts Pluto, which reinforces his dark though fascinating aura. Further down, a Venus-Mercury conjunction encourages the plain expression of his artistic skills and of his animality.

A Dominant Water Element

At this point of our analysis, we also notice that the Water element is well-represented in the natal chart. It is even more so that the Moon, another fast-moving and therefore personal planet, is posited in Cancer - the sign of family par excellence - in domicile.

According to Drake's declarations, we know that as a child, he was affected by the divorce of his parents. Very close to his mother who was probably over-protective, he felt that it was his turn to show her his affection. The Moon in Cancer is both powerful and beneficial, because she forms a Grand Trine with Jupiter in Pisces and with Venus in Scorpio. Therefore, the planets of femininity (Moon and Venus) team up to bring about success and a huge, even limitless (Jupiter), popularity.

Besides, it is interesting to underline the fact that the Water element endows with the empathy which enables to be in sync with crowds. In addition, all the planets in Water signs encourage this exercise. This is mainly why people understand the meaning of Drake's songs and appreciate them even though the singer has prepared no marketing plan.

A Mellowed Venus in Scorpio

While Scorpio may be tough and inflexible when it is in relation with other planets, in this case, it tends to produce a strange and mellowed charm, because Venus is supported by the Moon and by Jupiter in exaltation, both in Water signs, despite a vulnerable Mars, as explained further down.

After having experienced several real or alleged affairs with such stars as Rihanna, Drake is now the doting father of a little Adonis (in Greek mythology, Aphrodite's handsome lover). As if Drake wanted to pass on his personal appeal to his son.

The Dramatic Facet of the Ascendant in Leo

The Ascendant in Leo points to the need to be in the spotlight. This solar sign increases Scorpio's theatrical (but often secret) tendencies, though on a different mode, more direct, more flamboyant, almost naive and always proud.

Owing to the Ascendant in Leo, Drake flaunts his dream life on Instagram, exhibiting his new tattoos and the muscles of his torso for instance. In any case, according to experts, Drake cannot be reduced to a perfect image.

Mars in Aquarius, Innovative but with a Dark Side

The rapper is a truly talented and uncompromising singer. He started off by putting a mixtape on his MySpace account in 2006. His initiative was well-received, and he repeated it twice. One of them enabled him to release his first album in 2009.

In this regard, it is necessary to examine the contradictions of the natal chart. The Water Grand Trine, the Moon in Cancer, and the Ascendant in Leo depict a portrait which would have been very typical if Mars had not been in Aquarius and had not contrasted with this configuration. In this innovative sign, the planet of manliness urges Drake to experiment new technologies and to be bold.

However, it also forms a square with the Sun-Pluto conjunction, showing that this personality trait is not always perfectly integrated (Mars mainly squares Pluto; the aspect is a bit wide with the Sun, but it is difficult not to take the whole pattern into account).

One might add that these planets have a highly explosive effect, and that Drake is sometimes unable to display the detachment of Aquarius that he likes to assume in some occasions. Drake's actions reveal that he is independent, altruistic, and broad-minded. However, he is also vindictive and jealous when his ego is hurt. It is well known that he has a knack for creating numerous controversies with other rappers or other provocative personalities.

Given the tight Mars-Pluto square, angry energy may run wild if the tolerance level is reached, for instance in case of heavy transits, when simultaneously, in Drake's case, the Water trine cannot any more play its soothing role.

Moreover, this contrasted chart explains that Drake has very eclectic centres of interest. Indeed, he created a whisky brand bearing his name, and, being a true Canadian, he skates very well. Mars in Aquarius is definitely never found where he is expected.

Rather Auspicious Transits in 2019

These last months, Drake could rely on Neptune transiting natal Jupiter, an aspect which activates the Water Grand Trine. A nice advantage for him, knowing that Neptune will set off these natal positions again during a large part of 2019. As a result, it is most likely that Drake's artistic, financial, and romantic initiatives will be successful.

However, Uranus was hostile towards the natal Sun when he first entered Taurus in 2018, an opposition which will occur again in mid-March 2019. More than ever, Drake will probably rebel against the norms and will communicate in an aggressive way (the axis of the 3rd and 9th Houses).

He will be protected by two slow-moving planets in Capricorn, Pluto and Saturn, who will support the natal planets in Scorpio during the forthcoming years.

Owing to the T-Square that Uranus will send to natal Mars and natal Pluto, it must be borne in mind that Drake will have to overcome a period of tensions between May 2020 and the end of 2020, then again in the spring of 2021.
