From her days with Destiny’s Child to preparing to go on tour for her latest album, “Renaissance,” it’s no secret that Beyoncé is an exemplary artist of our time. As a perfectionistic Virgo sun, transformative Scorpio moon, and eloquent Libra rising, it’s obvious that Beyoncé’s astrological placements prove her “I’m That Girl” energy was written in the stars.
Although Beyoncé has already outdone herself time and time again, don’t be surprised if her best work is yet to come, since Beyoncé’s looking at exceptionally ambitious transits over the next few years, especially when Pluto in Aquarius begins an opposition to her natal Mars from the end of March 2023 to the beginning of June 2023. Her intense creativity will be amplified during this time, so Beyoncé will become a tremendous force of nature as she pushes herself to overcome whatever obstacles that may come with her next major project. Pluto’s raw passion will even amplify the emotional energy of her upcoming tour, so the Beyhive better be ready for an otherworldly experience!
But before we get ahead of ourselves with daydreaming of what Beyoncé will come up with next, let’s dive into her birth chart to see what Beyoncé’s astrological placements say about her style, vision, and drive.
The Big Three
The core components of any birth chart are the big three — the sun sign, the moon sign, and the rising sign. All three placements summarize your personality, emotional reactions, intuition, first impression, and look. Depending on what zodiac sign corresponds with each placement, this adds even more depth about the placement and how it can show up in your life.
Virgo Sun
The sun sign is arguably one of the most important parts of your birth chart since some astrologers argue that the sun sign can dictate anywhere between 80 to 90 percent of your personality. Since the sun sign is significant, it rules over your core ego and how you embody your vitality. Virgo suns are known to be excellent multitaskers since Virgo is a hardworking yet easygoing mutable earth sign. This alone speaks volumes to Beyoncé’s impressive career as she juggles her upcoming Renaissance World Tour and her Adidas x Ivy Park brand, as well as her family.
Virgo is also associated with health, since this zodiac sign rules over the digestive system. It’s not surprising that a Virgo sun, such as Beyoncé, would usually be health conscious, especially with how Beyoncé stuck with such a demanding exercise regime while prepping for Coachella in 2019, which she details in her Netflix documentary, “Homecoming.”
Scorpio Moon
If the sun sign is an outward expression of your personality, then the moon sign is the inward expression, since this is your secret self. The moon sign represents how you express, process, and appraise your emotions on a more introverted level. Scorpio moons are incredibly introspective and sometimes borderline secretive with how they feel. Beyoncé’s highly confidential Scorpio moon prioritizes exceptional privacy in all areas of her life, like how often the public sees photographs of her children and even her private performance at Dubai’s Atlantis The Royal hotel.
Aside from secrecy, Scorpio moons are known for their profound ability to transmute pain into passion and power. Between her visual album, “Lemonade,” and her latest release, “Renaissance,” it’s evident that Beyoncé’s Scorpio moon pours her intense emotions into her music. Since her music is her emotional release, Beyoncé’s Scorpio moon would likely feel incredibly empowered through musical expression. “Creating this album allowed me a place to dream and to find escape during a scary time for the world,” she shared in a June 30 Instagram post, continuing, “My intention was to create a safe place, a place without judgment. A place to be free of perfectionism and overthinking. A place to scream, release, feel freedom. It was a beautiful journey of exploration.”
Libra Rising

While the sun- and moon-sign placements are our truest selves, it might not be immediately noticeable since the rising sign illustrates your first impression and even how you look. Known for their beauty and charisma, Libra risings tend to be highly popular! So it’s no surprise Beyoncé has a Libra rising, considering her fashion-icon status. Only a Libra rising like Beyoncé could rock neon-yellow sequins at the Oscars and break the internet with her dazzling all-black ensemble on the cover of British Vogue. But her beauty isn’t the only benefit to having a Libra rising!
Libra risings are incredibly social and well-liked, since this rising sign has the charm to get along with everyone. Over the years, Beyoncé’s Libra rising has greatly contributed to her success as a popular singer, icon, and celebrity. Being so well-liked even garnered an insane celebrity turnout at Beyoncé’s 41st birthday party! Plus, this beloved R&B queen’s Libra rising is still incredibly relatable, like when she shared a video montage of people dancing to “Break My Soul” on Tik Tok to thank the Beyhive for all of their support and love.
Personal Planets
Similar to the big three, the personal planets signify other key traits in your birth chart and include Mercury, Venus, and Mars. These three placements can refer to your aesthetic, commitments, ambitions, and communication skills. Personal planets would likely manifest in Beyoncé’s love life, fashion sense, musical styling, and goals.
Libra Mercury
When it comes to communication and mental agility, this is Mercury’s domain! Libra Mercury is usually known for its harmonious energy and exceptional charm. Although Beyoncé’s Libra Mercury shines predominantly in her songs, her natal Mercury also came to the rescue when she faced controversy for using an ableist slur in “Heated.” True to her peacekeeping Libra Mercury, Beyoncé handled the situation with grace, her publicist announcing that the song’s lyrics would be changed.
Libra Venus
In astrology, Venus is the planet that rules over love, beauty, and money. Libra Venus is an especially auspicious placement since Venus rules over Libra. Of course, Beyoncé has a well-placed Venus, but we almost didn’t need astrology to tell us that after seeing her sexy crystal bikini and glamorous Tiffany & Co. ads! Beyoncé’s stylish Libra Venus can even be credited for her Adidas x Ivy Park Ivytopia collection. Aside from fashion, Beyoncé’s Libra Venus also influences her powerful marriage with JAY-Z.
Leo Mars
Mars is associated with anger, aggression, sex, and ambition. Typically, Leo Mars is incredibly enthusiastic and creative with every goal, so this martian energy usually does hide from giving something 110 percent. Beyoncé’s Leo Mars confidently radiates when she channels her ambitiousness and sensuality into her music. Not to mention that there’s no stopping Beyoncé’s determined Leo Mars, which explains why she’s the most-awarded artist in Grammys history.
