Taylor Swift Astrology
In this post, I will talk about Taylor Swift from an Astrological perspective. We will attempt to dissect the astrological factors behind her beauty, talent and fame. As a Vedic Astrologer, my analysis will be based on the sidereal system rather than Tropical. Readers who follow Western Astrology may see some glaring differences. However, a good astrologer following their system well can still derive the same results to a great extent.
What is Taylor Swift Zodiac?
Based on the birth details, Taylor Swift’s Sun Sign of Taylor Swift (a.k.a Zodiac Sign) is Scorpio and her Moon Sign (a.k.a Rashi) is Gemini. Her birth chart is given below.
Taylor Swift Rising Sign
As we can infer from the above chart, Taylor Swift’s rising sign or Ascendant is the same as her Moon Sign, i.e Gemini. As the Moon Sign and Rising Sign are the same, it shows that Taylor Swift is a very focused and determined person as her mind and body are aligned.
General Astrological Profile for Taylor Swift
If we consider the birth chart above, we can infer some general points about Taylor Swift.
1st and 7th house – Gemini and Sagittarius
The Ascendant (a.k.a Lagna) or the 1st house has Moon and retrograde Jupiter, opposed by Mercury, Uranus, Neptune and Saturn in Sagittarius. This is a very powerful combination that not just gives beauty but character and talent as well, especially in the performing arts.
These planets are harmoniously placed with each other. Therefore, we can assume that these planets all contribute together to give Taylor talent, beauty and character. However, a caveat is that Jupiter is retrograde so Taylor may sometimes demonstrate strong passions which may cause troubles for her.
Pluto as a source of wealth
Pluto in Libra makes Taylor unconventional and gives great business sense. This can be confirmed from her wealth which has crossed 1.1 Billion USD despite her relatively young age. In comparison, many actors and singers who are much older than Taylor Swift are far behind her in terms of wealth.
Ketu in the 2nd house
Ketu in Cancer shows that she will leave her birth place and relocate to some other location in early years of her life. At a young age, her parents recognized her interest in music and relocated to Tennessee to promote her musical career.
Formidable 6th house – Scorpio
Mars, Mandi, Gulika and Sun together in Scorpio makes Taylor a person of great passion and ambition. It also shows that she will eventually overpower her enemies. However, this may sometimes lead to her going against popular opinion or even challenging powerful personalities, including politicians. However, this is mitigated to some extent as Mars is in it’s own sign.
Her 3rd Lord Sun is placed in the 6th house. The 3rd house deals with singing whereas the 6th house also deals with occupation. So, we can further confirm how she became a singer and stage performer.
8th house Business Boost
Rahu and Venus in Capricorn give Taylor a strong fan following across the globe, along with towering aspirations and financial luck. As a caveat, this combination does not show very good marriage prospects for her.
Interesting facts on Taylor Swift and their astrological reasons
Moon in the Ardra Nakshatra (constellation) gives her a strong passion towards pets. This can be confirmed as she has 3 pet cats and each of them has also got a lot of fame. An interesting effect about Taylor Swift being a Gemini is that she likes to draw attention to her beautiful arms by generally wearing sleeveless dresses.
Her Arudha Lagna (how people perceive her) is in the 10th house – Pisces. Her career is the main focus and many people even overlook her wealth and prefer to only pay attention to her career related achievements.
A controversial gossip about Taylor Swift is that she has got some cosmetic surgeries done. The 8th aspect of Mars on her Ascendant sign of Gemini, does confirm surgeries. Of course, this is her personal choice and we must respect it.
These points also help to validate that her birth details available with me are quite accurate.
Some important events and their reasons
Let’s discuss some important events in life and the prevailing astrological conditions at the time. This will help to determine the astrological causes as well as repercussions in Taylor Swift’s life.
Start of Songwriting at the age of 12
In 2001, Taylor Swift start writing songs at the age of 12 years. From 2001 to 2002, Taylor was under the Major period of Jupiter and Minor period of Mercury. As I explained above, these planets are very auspicious for Taylor and their effects have led to Taylor’s excellent in music.
In her chart, Jupiter is retrograde in Gemini with Moon whereas Mercury is in Sagittarius with Mercury, Uranus, Neptune and Saturn.
Saturn is considered the planet of career whereas Mercury deals strongly with academics and education. This period had an impact on her education as well as her career. So, we can see how transformative this 2 year period was for Taylor. In addition, Mercury rules over Gemini and Virgo which are her Ascendant and 4th house respectively.
Jupiter rules over Sagittarius and Pisces which are the 7th and 10th house respectively. In essence, this period has effectively activated 4 important houses of her chart – 1st, 4th, 7th and 10th. This period was absolutely critical for her career.
First songwriting deal at the age of 14
At the young age of 14 years, Taylor Swift signed her first songwriting deal with Sony / ATV. From 2003 to 2006, she was under the Major period of Jupiter but entered the Minor period of Venus. As I explained above, Rahu and Venus together in Capricorn give excellent business acumen, leading to a lucrative deal.
Signed with Big Machine Records in 2005
She signed a lucrative deal with Big Machine Records when she was 16 years old. This is again due to the period of Jupiter-Venus as I elaborated above. Effectively, we can consider 2003 to 2006 as the breakout period for Taylor Swift.
First Album – Taylor Swift released in 2006
To conclude the auspicious Jupiter – Venus period, Taylor Swift released her first, self-titled Album. She achieved significant success in the Country Music genre.
Second Album – Fearless released in 2008
From November 2006 to March 2008, Taylor Swift was under the Major period of Jupiter and Minor period of Moon. Since both these planets are located in her Ascendant, this period was both revolutionary as well as evolutionary for her.
From March 2008 to Feb 2009, she released her second album – Fearless, that brought her mainstream popularity and worldwide acclaim. Mars being part of her 6th house further helped to indicate her choice of singing and songwriting as a career rather than a hobby.
Further Albums
Between 2009 and 2011, she was under the Major period of Jupiter and Minor period of Rahu. She released her third album Speak Now in 2010. In 2011, she entered the Major period of Saturn and Minor period of Saturn until July 2014. During this time, she released her next 2 albums – Red in 2012 and 1989 in 2014. Both of these albums further cemented her success.
From July 2014 to Apr 2017, she was under the Major period of Saturn and Minor period of Gemini. her next album Reputation was released in 2017. From 2016 to 2023, she dated her ex-boyfriend Joe Alwyn.
From May 2018 to July 2021, she was under the Major period of Saturn and Minor period of Venus. Her success and global fame literally exploded and she became a household name worldwide. She released 3 albums in this period – Lover in 2019, Folklore in 2020 and Evermore in 2020.
From July 2021 to Jan 2024, Taylor Swift continued in the Major period of Saturn while passing through Minor periods of Sun up to July 2022 and Moon up to Jan 2024. During this time, she released her next album Midnights in 2022. Time Magazine declared her “Person of the Year” in 2023 and her worldwide fame grew leaps and bounds. Her Eros tour was also a great success and she broke many records worldwide.
High level view – Saturn and Jupiter
If we consider the astrological factors at a very high level, we can see that Taylor Swift has been fortunate to go through periods associated with Jupiter and Saturn. This is highly positive for her career. However, her individual hard work and determination cannot be discounted. Otherwise, she would not be where she is today.
Upcoming Period – 2025 to 2028
2024 was a relatively quiet period for Taylor Swift on the career front as she was busy with other personal areas of her life, aside from her Eras tour. 2025 onwards, I see her career taking a step forward. From March 2025 to Jan 2028, she is under the Major period of Saturn and Minor period of Rahu. We can expect her getting back to the groove with further albums coming up. In fact, I can predict even more success of her upcoming songs and albums, aside from record breaking deals.
On the relationship front, there is a chance that she decides to tie the knot during this time, or at least make a more serious commitment to her relationship. There is also a possibility of someone new coming into her life.
Further ahead – 2028 to 2030
From Jan 2028 to July 2030, Taylor will be under the Major period of Saturn and Minor period of Jupiter. These 2 heavyweights which are on her side are set to further propel her ahead. It is likely she will achieve success that will define her legacy during this time. My advice to her would be to make maximum possible use of this highly auspicious period.
I anticipate that she will undertake at least one blockbuster worldwide tour during this time as it also indicates travel for work.
Conclusion
Overall, we can see that Taylor Swift has a long and successful career filled with fame and money. With strong focus on career and her fans, she can leave behind a great legacy which could remain unchallenged for many years to come. I wish her all the best.
