Analysis of Lorde's astrological chart

A Scorpio Woman

Sometimes, it happens that UFOs are found in the pop music. It is actually the case with the singer, author and composer Lorde. Hher real name is Marija Lani Yelich-O'Connor : this speaks volumes about her, knowing that she comes from the other side of the world and managed to make a large-scale breakthrough with a first album at 17.

Therefore, it is only half surprising that she was born with the Sun in Scorpio. Indeed, those people are haunted by intense passions, and they follow through with their ideas without making concessions.

They are not eccentric in the style of Aquarius, but in their own manner, they are very often special.

In the case of Lorde, her stage name proves interesting, since it derives from her fascination for the monarchy. She has thus decided to put in the feminine form the word "Lord", which also matches her stance on the status of women. She claims their rights loud and clear.

She really is an anti-girlie, and she did not hesitate to make a few cutting remarks to female singers who simper or use their attractiveness with their audience.

As for her, she prefers to declare that she is not good at dealing with celebrity and that she washes her hair only once every two weeks at most. Having said this, despite her provocative comments, she succeeded in finding her fans.

Although reviewers did not refrain from criticizing her unusual appearance, she has been distinguished by David Bowie himself artistically speaking, and it is obvious that she is far from being repulsively ugly.

The Scorpio-capricorn Tandem in the Driver's Seat

So, in a few words, the astrologer notices that the young woman embodies perfectly well the night principles of Scorpio as well as that of the sign on the Ascendant, Capricorn, which is very strong too in the natal chart.

Moreover, it happens that the Sun is in tight sextile with this angle, on which Jupiter is posited. These three clues put together lead us to think that Lorde lacks no self-assurance, quite the contrary.

Although the Ascendant may be the cause of some distance, or even coldness, Lorde knows very well what she is aiming at. In full control of her image, she uses her personal resources to express her deep energy.

Even though she became famous very young, spotted at a talent contest, she never made the mistake of choosing the easy way out, from a musical viewpoint. Besides, her low-pitched voice rings true, with neither superficial frills nor particular demonstrations.

People sometimes liken her exceptional timbre of her voice to Lana Del Rey's. It must be acknowledged that Lorde is less affected than her predecessor.

To sum up, Lorde paddles her own canoe with an ambition which is the keyword of the two most prominent signs of her natal chart, i.e. Scorpio and Capricorn. The position of Jupiter, the Great Benefic, on the cusp of the 1st House brings in the luck factor. She probably needed it to achieve her objectives when she arrived from New-Zealand.

Moon in Virgo Channelling Emotions

Now, as we focus on the aspects of the natal chart, we note the beautiful trine linking the Moon in Virgo – still in the 9th House but conjunct the Midheaven – to Neptune in the 1st House; this provides the missing keys required to better grasp Lorde's personality.

Owing to this Moon, Lorde is a woman who gives priority to organization and good sense to overcome her doubts. The connection with Neptune indicates that she uses her skills in the artistic area. She is not only inspired, but she is a hard-worker too. It is doubtless that she demands more of herself than of other people.

The Moon in sextile with Mercury enables Lorde to express herself with great ease. Besides, her mother was a poet, and she herself, in her texts, offers a dual interpretation. Each piece has its own ambiance, which results from this approach.

However, we must also underline that the Moon is in opposition with Saturn in the 4th House. We guess in it a risk of loneliness and emotional vulnerability once the curtain of the stage falls. Saturn being the chart ruler, the planet shows that Lorde may also react quite rigidly when she avoids crowds.

Anyway, she must take into account the importance of her affective needs, since her Venus in Libra, therefore in domicile, conjuncts the North Node. The planet heralds a few pitfalls: in opposition with Saturn, and in square with the Ascendant, it describes a personality striving to please people but unable to do so naturally, as if it could not help censoring itself.

Upcoming Strong Transits in Capricorn

At barely 23, the singer still has many opportunities to progress one way or the other, both in the field of music and in her private life.

It will be interesting to watch the impact of the numerous planets gathering in the 1st House, in particular with the transit of Jupiter on the Ascendant. This will occur throughout a large part of the year 2020, beginning with a very exciting month of January.

Indeed, the Saturn-Pluto double conjunction will be on natal Neptune, give or take a few degrees, and will activate the natal trine with the Midheaven and with the Moon.

Despite the stern reputation of these two planets, the fact that this conjunction transits the planet related to art, and above all, that this unfolds in harmony with the other dominants of the natal chart, we may believe that its influence is only starting. In other words, the weather forecast of Lorde's future destiny seems to be set fair.
