Elon Musk is a business magnate, investor and engineer. His projects include SpaceX, Tesla, Neuralink and PayPal. Recent social media rants and emails have negatively affected the share price of his companies and lead to much criticism. This interpretation of the Elon Musk horoscope explains this erratic and aggressive behavior.
The controversy began in July 2018 during the Tham Luang cave rescue. Elon Musk attempted to help save the stranded boys by ordering his employees to build a small rescue pod. On 15 July, cave diver Vernon Unsworth described Musk’s attempt with a “kid-size submarine” as a PR stunt, saying the rescue pod “had absolutely no chance of working”, and he could “stick his submarine where it hurts”. [1] Later that day Musk referred to Unsworth as that “pedo guy” on Twitter but deleted it soon afterwards due to the backlash. On 16 July, Unsworth said he was considering taking legal action against Musk.
On 28 August 2018, Musk doubled down on his earlier comment by tweeting “You don’t think it’s strange he hasn’t sued me?” Finally, on 5 September, Buzzfeed News published an email written by Musk on August 30 saying “I suggest that you call people you know in Thailand, find out what’s actually going on and stop defending child rapists, you fucking asshole. As for this alleged threat of a lawsuit, which magically appeared when I raised the issue … I fucking hope he sues me.” Musk confirmed that he had sent the email. [2]
Elon Musk Astrology
Elon Musk was born on 28 June 1971 in Pretoria, South Africa. With no known time of birth, the Aries chart below is cast for noon. Even without such personal points as the Moon or Ascendant and their aspects, the Elon Musk horoscope does explain his erratic behavior. The greatest possible orb for the following aspects and fixed stars are in brackets.
Sun conjunct fixed star Tejat Posterior (1°38′) gives public appeal but also the potential to capitalize on his popularity and to use it for unscrupulous ends. [3]
Sun square Uranus (3°53′) means Elon has to do things his own way. He is complex person, extremely intelligent and independent. However, an impulsive need to express his distinctive ego through his personality and career can often cause conflict with others. He comes across as abrupt, rebellious or just weird.
Even when he does not consciously intend to do so, people think he is provoking or challenging them. This leads to a lot of pressure from others, ranging from nagging to accusations of mutiny or being a witch.
Elon Musk Horoscope
Mercury conjunct fixed star Canopus (1°06′) makes Elon Musk rash, headstrong and stubborn, yet also kind-hearted. He attracts criticism for speaking and writing on unpopular subjects. Trouble and loss through domestic matters, partners and law. [4]
Mercury conjunct fixed star Sirius (1°48′) brings great business success and help through influential people. But it makes him worry unnecessarily and may cause a physical defect through an accident. [4] Sirius marks immense creative talents in any field but perhaps more inner power than he can safely manage. Harshly aspected it can show a psychotic person, truly a menace to himself and the community. [3]
Mercury square Uranus (4°35′) gives Elon an unconventional way of thinking and communicating. Despite a brilliant mind, his provocative ideas, rash statements and eccentric behavior cause upset to others and lead to relationship difficulties. Trouble listening and being easily distracted can lead to him saying the wrong things in response to others.
An abrupt way of communication and a tendency to joke around can offend and insult people. Seeing the other side of things is a good thing in general, but is sometimes seen as arrogance or shit stirring by others. People often think he is just out for attention by shocking them or being deliberately argumentative. This is the widest aspect used in this Elon Musk horoscope but it could be less than only 4° if he was born early in the morning.
His tendency toward controversy is a sign of his great intellect and creativity. Unorthodox and inventive thinking is excellent for his career in computers and the internet, science, design, engineering and inventing. However, it makes it difficult for him to keep up long-term relationships. It also brings many shocks and surprises, and makes it difficult for him to stick to his plans.
Venus conjunct fixed star Bellatrix (1°32′) brings much suffering through love affairs owing to unrestrained feelings. [4] Bellatrix gives quick decision-making, courage and fighting spirit, strategic talents and the ability to organize. But it also gives the reckless aggressiveness of a belligerent daredevil. Envy and hatred go with advancement and success. [5]
Venus trine Mars (1°30′) gives a passion for life and social popularity. It gives more balance to the Elon Musk horoscope and thus to his personality. He can entertain people because of his playful and youthful nature. This aspect gives incredible creative talents which have manifested in many areas of his life, from his animated nature to his many personal and professional interests. Unfortunately, both Venus and Mars join fixed stars which cause aggression and recklessness. So the trine aspect makes it so easy for him to express hatred and hostility when he becomes agitated.
Mars conjunct fixed star Nashira (0°32′) affects his health. It causes damage to the bone structure of his right leg. The real problem is the hot, flashing pain he can experience when walking. This pain is sporadic and directly related to his anxieties. Impatience and anxiety are keywords here. He can become quite impatient and irrational because of the pain he experiences. Temper tantrums and irrational behavior often result, along with shouting and hostility towards others. [6]
Fixed star Toliman conjunct Jupiter (1°37′) and Neptune (1°42′). Alpha Centauri is the third brightest star in the night sky and the closest star to our solar system. It gives beneficence, friends, refinement and a position of honor. [4] Relationships with women often seem spoiled, or an existing happy relationship is stricken by exceptional circumstances. [5] It gives great enthusiasm for whatever cause he embraces and he is likely quite self-sacrificing about it.
Jupiter conjunct Toliman gives honor and preferment, ritualistic tendencies, success in foreign countries, and is favorable for gain. [4]
Neptune conjunct Toliman gives psychic ability or mediumship, occult interests, deceit and dishonesty. There are many journeys and voyages often to the east of his birthplace, and he rarely stays long in one place. Favorable for gain and domestic matters but heavy business losses at end of life. [4]
Jupiter conjunct Neptune (3°09′) makes him devoted, moralistic, ethical and spiritual. He is enthusiastic and optimistic about doing his best for humanity. He grasps abstract theories and incorporates them into his wide and comprehensive knowledge. This aspect gives an incredible imagination and readiness to believe just about anything. He may have transcendent, mystical experiences and believe he has a special destiny.
However, this aspect also makes him very controversial and connected to scandals, gossip and intrigue. It could make Elon addicted to extravagance and perhaps give a linking for mind altering substances. It also makes him somewhat irrational at times and prone to error. He is able to use abstract ideas to make other people do just about anything he wishes.
Jupiter sextile Pluto (0°33′) gives power and influence to bring positive change to the world. It gives Elon a wide knowledge and determination to make a significant contribution to society. There is likely a spiritual reason behind his need to reform outdated or broken systems, beliefs or organizations. His leadership qualities and self-assured aura make him popular and admired.
He can inspire or motivate people to work together for the common good, and should enjoy success and happiness in life and be remembered for making a difference. Investing in emerging markets and progressive companies brings handsome profits. The accumulation of wealth is reward for his positive contributions and funds his philanthropic interests.
Jupiter opposite Saturn (3°28′) creates an inner tension that makes Elon very charismatic. However, many ups and downs in life can leave him feeling secretly insecure. The cause of these good and bad effects is the internal conflict between his enthusiasm and his more cautious nature.
Sometimes he experiences growth spurts with good luck, frantic activity and success. At other times, severe tests and challenges with misfortune that leaves him idle and depressed. Alternating between go and stop, or fast and slow, can result in intermittent progress. Because of Jupiter conjunct Neptune, he is mostly enthusiastic and happy but can lack self-discipline. As a result he may become reckless, waste energy and resources, and fail to reach his goals.
Saturn opposite Neptune (0°18′) causes confusion in his personal relationships and how he relates to the outer world. He has problems determining where his rights stop and the rights of others begin. A tendency to project his fears, anxieties and nervousness on other people can make him look scared.
A suspicious attitude can actually attract the kinds of people and circumstances he is afraid of. Learning to trust is his big lesson. This aspect is the tightest in the Elon Musk horoscope and makes him more vulnerable than most to deception, scandal and negative psychic energy. He can protect himself by being as honest as possible and avoiding mind altering drugs, alcohol, gambling, cults, gurus and conspiracy theories.
