Madonna is someone with an unusual amount of fame who has been able to reinvent herself for decades. She has always surprised us by pushing boundaries and she seems to be very rebellious. Will we see this in her chart?
Madonna’s Sun is in Leo, which is ruled the Sun. Her identity shines and her Sun is in a harmonious sextile with Neptune (Spirit, music), Jupiter (expansion, benevolence) and North Node (fate) at the end of Libra into Scorpio. There we see the sexy (Scorpio), famous (Sun sextile Jupiter) musician (Neptune in Scorpio) and artist (Jupiter in Libra which is ruled by Venus).
What further highlights that Madonna is a musician and artist can be seen in the square between Venus (beauty, charm, creativity) in Leo (fame, glory) and Neptune/Jupiter/North Node in Libra and Scorpio.
We find aspects between Venus and Neptune over and over in the natal charts of musicians. In Madonna’s, her great fame is shown in that expansive Jupiter is conjunct Neptune (Spirit, Water) and North Node in Libra suggesting that her destiny involves adventure and knowledge (Jupiter) pertaining to creativity, spirituality and relationships (Libra). We all know that Madonna likes to push boundaries when it comes to relations and religion and her chart reflects that here.
A combination of aligned or somewhat aligned “planets” is known as a stellium. This is supposed to show a concentration and turned up amount of energy pertaining to the concepts involved.
We see a massive stellium around Madonna’s glorious Sun in Leo. Most closely aligned with the Sun, we see revolutionary Uranus and creative just goddess Pallas Athena. This shows Madonna’s shocking but ultimately fair tendencies. This is someone who is going to want to fight for what’s right in a creative manner (Pallas Athena). She is also freedom loving and perfectly willing to be disruptive (Uranus).
Also somewhat aligned with the Sun, we find Juno (serious relationships, a just Queen), Pluto (transformation, sex), Mercury (communication), Ceres (nurturing), Moon (emotions) and Pars Fortuna (luck) in Virgo. The previous symbols show Madonna’s willingness to use her usually big and intense fame to serve others. We see this in her charity work.
Madonna is known for being very sexy and hot and we can see this in her Mars in Taurus placement which is in a difficult square with her massive fame stellium. Mars in Taurus also shows that her drive (Mars) involves beauty and creativity (Taurus).
Saturn (discipline, bondage, structures) in Sagittarius (truth, knowledge, the world, ruled by Jupiter) is in a harmonious trine with Madonna’s fame stellium. This may suggest the mogul that we see in her or even perhaps more, Saturn in Sagittarius could add up to a great benevolent leader. Seeing Saturn trine such an unusually intense fame shows that Madonna has the determination (Saturn) and communication dominance (Pluto/Mercury) and glory (Sun in Leo) to push through to see the realization of her benevolent ambitions (Saturn in Sagittarius).
It is worth noting that Chiron (wounds, healing) in Aquarius (philanthropy, the people) is in a difficult opposition with Madonna’s unusual fame stellium. What this could mean is that Madonna feels a lot of the pain visited on the public and that she shares it. This pain may fuel her work and help lead to healing for herself and others.
Madonna is going through fascinating changes and she is certainly someone I’m going to keep watching.
