Taylor Swift was born to be rich

Highlights from Taylor Swift’s career

Despite a move from country to pop, Swift has managed to keep growing her fan base — and trophy shelf.

Susan Miller is the founder of the Web site Astrology Zone. She prepared this astrology chart for Taylor Swift in anticipation of Swift’s 25th birthday on Dec. 13.

Note from the author: Astrologers need a precise time of birth to set up a natal chart. That information was not available by press time, so I used a solar chart, which is considered correct and valuable in gleaning personality gifts and coming trends. We all have two charts – a custom natal chart and a sun-sign chart, and integrating both is ideal. For Taylor’s birthday I will only have a solar chart to work with, but it has revealed quite a bit.

On Dec. 13, America’s sweetheart, Taylor Swift, will be 25 years old. Clearly, she’s established more in a few years than most people do in a lifetime. Her chart surprised me — her business smarts are simply remarkable. The world already knows that she writes most of her own music and that her talent as a composer, singer and entertainer has catapulted her to the top of the charts. She has earned more awards than she has room to display. Yet behind her beautiful face is a smart, savvy businesswoman with her own opinions and on-target instincts.

When Taylor announced that she would take her music off Spotify, some observers lauded her decision and pronounced it brave. Her reasoning was simple: Artists deserve to be paid for their work. She has presumably surrounded herself with savvy business handlers, so one might assume that they made this brave decision for her. Not so. Her chart shows that the decision was likely Taylor’s, too, and that she will always be very involved in the financial aspects of her career. At a young age, she is gaining priceless business experience that will always get her a seat at the bargaining table.

I expected to see planets in highly artistic signs, such as Pisces or Leo. What I found so surprising is that almost every part of her chart points to her remarkable business savvy. She was born a Sagittarian — not a sign known for a particular interest in money — but she has four natal planets in the big-money sign of Capricorn. This is considered the most ambitious sign, associated with the leadership of behemoth multinational corporations. All four planets, including Uranus (surprise and often genius), Mercury (news and communication), Neptune (imagination, creativity, with special emphasis on music) and Saturn (self-discipline, caution and frugality) are crowded in Capricorn in her second house of earned income. (A horoscope has 12 houses. Imagine a pizza pie cut into 12 slices – those four planets are found in one of those slices, representative of the “house” associated with earned income.)

Across the skies, 180 degrees away from that second house of earned income, is found the eighth house of other people’s money, covering such things as commissions, royalties, venture capital and so forth. In that house she has Jupiter (generosity, good fortune) and the moon (emotions and memories), both in Cancer. Jupiter’s presence alone shows that it is highly unlikely Taylor will ever be poor — she was born under an incredibly lucky star for wealth.

Taylor’s moon appears to be conjunct (or very close to) lucky Jupiter in this financial house. The moon in a natal chart reveals how the public perceives her. The moon is feminine, indicating the the fans who would buy her music would be mainly young girls and women. Jupiter rules happiness, so it appears the public will always have a favorable view of Taylor, who has been careful to keep her image clean and chic, displaying a lovable, honest quality to her character that is found on the opposite end of the spectrum occupied by Miley Cyrus and Kim Kardashian. One’s natal chart does not change, so Taylor’s role as America’s sweetheart will likely continue and endear her to mothers of tweens, at least during Taylor’s young years.

Her moon in Cancer is very tender, sentimental and romantic, the reason she uses her experiences in love for the lyrics of her music. Cancer (and Pisces) have a high degree of emotional intelligence, and are capable of greater sensitivity than most any other signs.

Taylor’s Sagittarius sun sign shows she adores the part of her job that requires international travel. This is the one characteristic of Sagittarius that appears to be universal. She will never tire of that! Sagittarius is called the “bachelor sign,” not given to commitment early in life.

Transiting Uranus, planet of surprise, has been visiting Taylor’s fifth house of love since March 2011 and will stay until March 2019. The place Uranus is found shows where we go for experiences in life. She works so hard, so it’s not surprising she needs fun and a little adventure. With Uranus in her love sector, it seems that Taylor views love as the main source for her most thrilling experiences, but as we have seen, she has often received more than she bargained for in this department.

Uranus acts a bit like a volcano – exciting, yes, but impossible to control, and highly unstable. One minute she may have assumed she had found The One, only to see another side to her sweetheart a few weeks later, one that gives her uncomfortable and disappointing pause. The only way to handle Uranus in the house of love, which Taylor has, is to let a relationship grow very slowly. (This will keep the relationship stable and solid. She should make an effort to meet her sweetheart’s circle of friends and to see him through good times and bad. Take your time, dear Taylor — if love is real, love will wait. She will find true love, but in 2015, it’s just not a top priority.

If you assume that Taylor Swift has reached her prime, think again. She is just cranking up — wait and see! The year ahead will be one of her biggest ever, and because she has those four natal planets in Capricorn in her earned income house, and two in Cancer in her solar house of other people’s money, Jupiter’s 2015 transit in her house of fame will be sending shimmering beams to all six financial planets.

As we can see, extensive travel, money and career success will preoccupy Taylor’s thinking in 2015. Love will not be a major priority for her, and will not be until she gets to the last quarter of 2016 and beyond. It is very hard to keep a relationship going while she tours the world.

Happy birthday, Taylor. You have so much to celebrate, and so much to look forward to doing. The coming year will be a landmark year, one you will never forget!
