Halsey's Birth Chart: The Big Three

In astrology, your Sun, Moon, and rising sign make up what astrologers call the big three. Together these signs create the core of your personality. Depending on your zodiac sign in each placement, you'll take on different traits and qualities. Finding your big three is easy; you just need your birth date, time, and place to create your birth chart. Halsey has confirmed her birth time information and rising sign, which means we can take a closer look at the stars to find the source of her star power.

Libra Sun

Your Sun sign holds a special place in your astrology. The Sun represents vitality, ego, motivation, and desire. It's the brightest spot in your birth chart, and it represents yourself most clearly. Halsey was born on September 29, 1994, at 9:26 a.m. in Edison, New Jersey, which means that she was born under the sign of Libra.

Libra is ruled by Venus, the planet of aesthetics, beauty, and romance–meaning these people have a sharp sense of style and love of the arts. It's not uncommon for people with their Sun in Libra to feel drawn to creative ventures like fashion, photography, music, or architecture. The act of self-expression through creation is very important to Libras: and helps them feel balanced amongst the chaos of everyday life.

Halsey has been celebrated throughout their career for the daring and evocative way they portray themselves in their music. And though she first found success as a singer, Halsey prides herself on being more than just a stage performer. "It's always been important for me to have as many creative outlets as possible: singing, writing, painting, playing guitar, and about a million other things, but I'll always be a storyteller," Halsey told Insider.

Halsey also has her Sun sextile her Midheaven, meaning she brings a sense of pride and pragmatism to her work. This aspect gives Halsey the ability to see how their art influences the world around them and shows they take their responsibility as an artist and role models seriously.

Cancer Moon

If your Sun sign is an outward expression of your personality, your Moon sign shows the hidden side of your personality. Together, the Sun and Moon compromise your understanding of yourself and how you express your emotions, dreams, and hidden desires. Halsey has their Moon in Cancer–meaning it's in rulership.

Having your Moon sign in its rulership means the energy of that placement is expressed more directly. People born with this placement have a special connection to their softer side. They are kind-hearted, compassionate, and empathetic individuals who always see the best in other people. It also explains why Halsey's aura energy is more complex and mysterious than her Libra Sun might suggest.

People with their Moon in Cancer feel everything around them very intensely: and sometimes they can even sense the energy, thoughts, ideas, and feelings of others around them. They absorb the energy of whatever environment they find themselves in, and it greatly affects their own feelings and moods.

This can be incredibly helpful in dealing with communication and relationships. However, it can be draining as well, which is why people with this placement need to have an outlet for expressing themselves. "One of the ways that I gain awareness and control over a situation in my life is that I write about it. Once you've put someone down on paper, they no longer have the power that they do in real life," Halsey told Vogue in 2020 while discussing her debut poetry collection.

Scorpio Rising

Your rising sign, also known as the ascendant, is your energetic signature in life. It shows the energy you subconsciously project to the world. And it can show how others see you, how you interact with the world around you, as well as the first impression you make on people. Halsey was born with a Scorpio rising and several personal placements in Scorpio.

People with Scorpio on their ascendant are known for their cautious nature, magnetic allure, and effortless charisma. They have an air of confidence in themselves and attract attention from others without much effort. Scorpio's energy is captivating and intimidating to some–and with this energy on her ascendant, Halsey can seem tougher on the outside than she is. Scorpio also makes her Mars and Pluto placements the rulers of her chart.

Ruled by Pluto, the planet of transformation and regeneration, Scorpios are born with a deep-seated desire to discover the hidden truths of the world and dive into the darker parts of their psyche. They are not afraid to confront their fears and embrace metamorphosis. Scorpio Rising wants to be seen for who they truly are and understood by the general public and those around them.

In Halsey's case, her Scorpio rising could be the reason each of her albums has a distinct era and aesthetic to it–and explains the creation of her stage persona at the start of her career. "[Changing my name] gave me the opportunity to create a new persona that wasn't bound by the expectations I had for myself or the limitations that others placed on me. I created a person, and she could do everything," said Halsey told Cosmopolitan.

Personal Planets

Each planet in astrology has a specific meaning, and the personal planets in astrology can show you a deeper layer of your personality. Similar to your big three, the personal planets highlight qualities that show how you express your love for others, how you communicate, and how your passions manifest in life. The personal planets include Mercury, Venus, and Mars. Personal planets can show us more about Halsey's songwriting, personal style, dreams, ambitions, and passions.

Scorpio Mercury

Mercury represents how we express our thoughts, experiences, dreams, desires, and ideas. Halsey has her Mercury in Scorpio, which allows her to capture the feeling of everyday experiences and emotions in her lyrics. This is why so many of her listeners can see themselves in her music and story. A well-positioned Mercury in a songwriter's birth chart can enhance the flow of creativity.

In Halsey's case, her Mercury is conjunct with her ascendant, which amplifies the expression of both placements. This is a very common placement found in successful writers of all genres and styles. Not only does Halsey write all of her lyrics, but she's also an accomplished poet and writer as well.

People with their Mercury in Scorpio value honesty and truth above all else. They may not be as extroverted as other Mercury placements, but nothing and no one will stop a Scorpio Mercury from saying what's on their mind. They can come off as harsh or blunt due to how direct their communication style can be. However, you can always trust that these people are being straightforward with what they say.

This is easy to see in Halsey's lyricism, as well as their personal life and political activism. They've long used their platform to speak out about what they believe is right, regardless of the potential consequences. "I have to go out and live the words that I say – whether it's on stage or through interviews – what kind of life would it be to go out there and lie or censor myself? It would be so exhausting," Halsey said in an interview with NME.

Scorpio Venus

In astrology, Venus is the planet that rules romance, attraction, and partnerships. Your Venus sign shows how you feel and express your love for others. And it can show you deeper insights into your romantic attractions, how flirtatious you are, and your preferences in the bedroom. Halsey has her Venus in Scorpio, adding even more energy to her Scorpio Rising and Scorpio Mercury.

People with their Venus in Scorpio are fiercely loyal and protective of the people around them. They aren't satisfied with superficial relationships or false niceties–and seek out romantic connections that transcend everything else. Their love is marked by a sense of intensity, devotion, and intimacy. As a parent, Scorpio Venus placements would do just about anything to protect, nurture, and encourage their children in life.

In addition to informing romantic and personal relationships, Venus has a strong hand in the artistic process and finances. Venus shows how we manifest our greatest desires into reality. Halsey has long spoken about her unconventional rise to fame and how music helped her through some of the toughest times in her life. And her birth chart suggests that the stars had a lot to do with how she heals through her art.

Halsey has her Venus conjunct Jupiter, the planet of luck and karma, as well as her north Node of Destiny. This means that her true desires and passions in life are cosmically aligned with the person she was destined to become. This is a very positive aspect that attracts good things. And it shows that Halsey's skills will continue to improve as she moves forward in her career. "It's really nice to be able to look at time as an ally, where for me, time has been the best thing that's ever happened to me," Halsey told Billboard. "It's allowed me to grow and allowed me to heal and allowed me to develop."

Cancer Mars

Mars is the planet of energy, ambition, and desire. This placement shows how you channel your passion into action and how you fight for what you want. Halsey has her Mars in Cancer–which is in its 'fall' in this sign. Those with Cancer Mars tend to express their emotions freely, and many of them are deemed overly sensitive or even dramatic at times because of it. This is because being a Mars ruled by the Moon, the planet of emotions, amplifies everything they express and feel.

Halsey has her Mars trine Pluto–which gives her the willpower and determination to succeed. These people work best when the odds are stacked against them. And this aspect shows how Halsey is able to take the transformative energy of her Cancer Mars to push herself toward greater success and personal enlightenment. "Sometimes [the self-reinventions] work out and become little attachments that latch onto the more foundational part of my personality and identity," Halsey told Coveteur.

Halsey recently announced that she'll be moving from Capital Records to Columbia Records with plans to release her fifth studio album soon. And fans will be eagerly anticipating what Halsey's new album and next musical era will bring.
