Elton John Birth Chart

Elton John is one of the best-selling music artists in history. Born Reginald Kenneth Dwight on March 25, 1947, in Pinner, Middlesex, England, he has sold more than 300 million records worldwide, earned five Grammy Awards, an Academy Award, a Tony Award, and was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II in 1998 for his contributions to music and charitable work. His career spans more than five decades, from the era-defining albums of the early 1970s through his record-breaking Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour, which concluded in 2023 as the highest-grossing tour by a solo artist.

His natal chart reveals an Aries Sun paired with a Taurus Moon, a combination that blends cardinal fire’s relentless initiative with fixed earth’s sensory depth and material staying power. Mercury and Mars both occupy Pisces, Venus sits in Aquarius, and Saturn retrograde in Leo forms a tight trine to the Sun. Without a verified birth time, this profile focuses on planetary signs and aspects rather than rising sign or house placements.

Elton John’s Sun at nearly four degrees of Aries places him in the earliest expression of the cardinal fire sign. Early-degree Aries carries a particular quality of urgency and initiative.

The Moon in Taurus reveals an emotional nature rooted in sensory experience, comfort, beauty, and material security.

Mercury in Pisces processes information through intuition, imagery, and emotional resonance rather than linear logic.

Venus in Aquarius approaches love, aesthetics, and values through the lens of intellectual independence and progressive ideals.

Mars in Pisces channels drive, ambition, and assertiveness through water-sign intuition and creative sensitivity.

Jupiter in Scorpio expands through intensity, investigation, and transformative experience.

Saturn in Leo is the placement of earned creative authority.

Uranus in Gemini is a generational placement shared by those born in the mid-to-late 1940s.

Neptune in Libra dissolves boundaries around partnership, aesthetics, and social harmony.

Pluto in Leo defines the generation born in the aftermath of World War II.
