SZA birth chart, interpreted by The AstroTwins
The following analysis by celebrity astrologers Tali & Ophi Edut, aka The AstroTwins, highlights the most interesting astrological features of SZA’s birth chart for all level astrology readers to understand.
When is SZA’s birthday?
SZA was born on November 8, 1989.
SZA is a Scorpio Sun
SZA was born Solána Imani Rowe at 12:17 PM on November 8, 1989, in St. Louis, Missouri.
SZA’s astrological sign is Scorpio, but for this famously secretive sign, her success is anything but hidden! With her Sun in the ninth house—the domain of wisdom, travel, and personal truth—SZA’s stardom is about self-discovery.
Her breakout album Ctrl was a peek into her diary, spilling with raw emotion and fearless honesty. Scorpio’s intensity meets the ninth house’s truth-seeking in her voice, making it a vehicle for spiritual questioning, philosophical edge and storytelling that transcends genre.
In true ninth-house style, SZA has carved her path by doing things her own way. Her work with Gemini Kendrick Lamar on All the Stars lit up both the charts and the award circuits, earning Golden Globe and Academy Award nods, and became a cultural moment.
Then came “Kiss Me More” with Libra Doja Cat—a flirty, addictive track that made history as the longest-running all-female duet on U.S. charts and earned SZA her first Grammy.
Scorpio’s signature is transformation, and SZA keeps evolving. Her Super Bowl LIX performance with Kendrick truly launched her into full-blown superstardom. In mid 2025, the two embarked on a world tour together.
Completing SZA’s Big 3: A Pisces moon and Aquarius rising
• The Big 3 in astrology is your Sun, your rising sign, and your moon•
SZA’s moon sign is Pisces, a placement known for deep empathy and spiritual openness. For her, that soulful curiosity isn’t just internal—it’s been woven into her life journey. She’s explored everything from Christianity to Islam to Hinduism, hosted a meditation with Lizzo, and even unplugged for a weeklong silent retreat in India.
With her Pisces Moon in the first house, her emotions are front and center. You feel her lyrics because she feels them first, and fully. There’s a softness to her presence, but it pulses with quiet power.
SZA’s Aquarius rising acts like a cool current beneath all that sensitivity. It’s the part of her that defies convention, that leans into originality without even trying. Aquarius is the sign of the innovator, and SZA’s artistry always seems one step ahead—timeless and futuristic in equal measure.
Altogether, her Big 3 (Scorpio Sun, Pisces moon and Aquarius rising) create an alchemy of water and air. Poet meets prophet. Mystic meets trendsetter. She’s been vocal about facing grief, depression and mental health struggles—including the loss of close friends like Mac Miller—and transformed those experiences into something healing, usually in a lyrics.

SZA has 2 stelliums in her natal chart!
•A stellium is when three or more planets are in the same zodiac sign or house in a birth chart•
Scorpio stellium: Power and purpose
There’s intensity—and then there’s a Scorpio stellium. SZA’s chart features four planets clustered in this passionate, transformative sign: her Sun, Pluto, Mercury and Mars.
SZA feels things deeply and she’s driven to transform them. Since all four planets in her Scorpio stellium fall in her ninth house of freedom, truth and higher consciousness, that passion gets channeled into bold, unapologetic purpose.
In a moment that went viral, SZA stopped a young fan from doing whippets—convincing him to hand over the canister in exchange for a photo. “If I can stop this s–t for even a second, imma try,” she wrote on Instagram, calling out the way drugs are being marketed to kids and urging America to do better. This is the same drive that shows up when she talks openly about grief and mental health, questions mainstream culture (then puts them in her song lyrics!).
Mars gives her fight. Pluto gives her fearlessness. Mercury gives her voice. And her Sun fuels all of it with truth and purpose.
Capricorn stellium: Building a legacy, her way
SZA’s birth chart features a powerful stellium in Capricorn, where Venus, Uranus, Saturn, and Neptune all align. This shows an unconventional and creative approach to both work and love.
While many artists chase viral fame, likes and downloads, SZA let time do its work. Her path began with lo-fi uploads on SoundCloud. She bartended, couch-surfed and built her audience organically. By 2013, she became the first woman signed to Top Dawg Entertainment. But even then, it didn’t seem about celebrity status. Case in point: Her debut album Ctrl was years in the making, and when it dropped, it lingered, charting for more than 400 weeks—and counting, as of this writing.
Her sophomore album, SOS, featuring “Kill Bill”, became a pop cultural phenomenon without a traditional promo machine, garnering six music industry awards including a Grammy. It was named album of the year at the 2023 BET Awards (tying with Virgo Beyonce’s Renaissance). This is signature Capricorn energy: slow burn, big impact.
With Uranus and Neptune in the mix, her sound shapeshifts—part R&B, part glitter-trap, part stream-of-consciousness soul. She’s talked about her refusal to conform to pop genre boxes, her love of mythology and her early sense of “weirdness” as a badge of honor (how else do you explain appearing as a bug on Hot Ones?!)

Venus in Capricorn gives her love language a certain edge: romantic but self-protective, craving connection with standards. “Rather be in hell than alone,” she sings on “Kill Bill.” Her music explores heartbreak, letting ache hang without needing to resolve it.
And then there’s the work ethic. When “Good Days” hit one billion streams, it wasn’t a one-off—it was her fifth track to do so. And perhaps when she stood on the roof of a Manhattan building filming “Nobody Gets Me,” just inches from the edge she was embodying her whole Capricorn stellium!
SZA’s birth chart has a grand water trine!
•Grand Trine occurs when three planets align in an equilateral triangle, making 120-degree angles (trines) to each other; in this rare aspect, all planets involved share the same element•
If you’ve ever listened to SZA and felt like she was singing straight from the inside of your chest, you’re not imagining it. Her chart features a rare and powerful grand trine in water signs, connecting her Pisces moon, Scorpio Sun (with Mercury and Pluto), and Jupiter in Cancer. In astrology, this sacred geometry forms an intuitive, empathic circuit—an emotional superhighway where energy flows freely, often overwhelming but deeply generative.
Her Pisces moon in the first house makes her emotional presence immediate and palpable. “It was really difficult to be super sensitive and hyper-open,” she once told V Magazine. “But in the world, that was weird…I felt like, this is why I’m hurt.”
Yet that sensitivity has its roots in strength. “My family tells me they love me all day,” she said in the interview. “I’m hyper affectionate, laying it on other people, just because it’s what we do.” That is signature Jupiter in Cancer energy! Her mother’s unapologetic love became a blueprint for softness that the world once judged, but she now honors.
And then there’s her Scorpio stellium—Sun, Mercury, Pluto—all in her ninth house of higher truth and transformation. These placements give her the courage to turn grief into lyrics. They give her the emotional language to translate these feelings into art that resonates and heals, herself and her fans.
Love astrology of SZA: In the lyrics
•Venus and Mars are the love planets in astrology. In your birth chart, Venus represents seduction and romance while Mars represents lust, motivation and erotic instincts.
With Venus in Capricorn and Mars in Scorpio, her romantic astrology speaks volumes, even if she rarely kisses and tells. She has never openly discussed her sexuality (though the Internet sure has) or any of her relationships. Everything we know is either rumored or coded in her lyrics for us to interpret.
Her Venus in Capricorn, nestled in her eleventh house of friendships and long-term vision, makes her romantic energy deliberate and discerning. Partnership with this placement is about trust, timing and whether a connection can withstand the pressure of purpose.
This placement also explains her guardedness around public relationships—and why the world learns the most about her love life through lyrics. From calling out a cheating ex-fiancé on stage in London to subtly hinting at entanglements with Travis Scott, Kehlani and Drake, she always lets her songs do the storytelling. It’s giving classic Capricorn: private in real life, revealing in the studio.
Mars in Scorpio, meanwhile, brings the heat behind the hush. Mars rules lust and desire, and in Scorpio, it’s all or nothing. Her passion runs deep—obsessive, magnetic, transformative—and often tied to intense emotional growth. Her ninth house placement adds a twist: she learns through love, even when it breaks her open (especially then).
This placement reveals the power behind songs like “Nobody Gets Me,” where she sings about the pain of losing a partner who understood her on a soul level. “I felt like I was gonna be doomed to be in hell for the rest of my life,” she once said of her ex-fiancé.
She’s spoken about doing music just to prove a point to him. That’s Venus in Capricorn—love as motivation. Mars in Scorpio—pain as fuel. All wrapped in a candid Instagram caption she once wrote: “Least I’m alive.“
SZA’s lunar nodes reveal her soul’s growth arc
•Astrologers use the nodes of the moon (found opposite each other in your birth chart) to determine where your destiny lies (North node) and what you were in past lifetimes (South node).
With SZA’s South Node in Leo, she was born with the signature of a star. Positioned in her seventh house of partnerships, it’s no surprise that collaborations have been a defining force in her career. From Kendrick Lama and Doja Cat to Travis Scott, her creative chemistry has lit up music charts and carved out cultural moments. And the story’s still unfolding: when Midwest princess and Grammy Best New Artist Chappell Roan told the Call Her Daddy podcast that SZA was her dream collaborator, SZA reposted on Instagram with enthusiastic reciprocity: “DEAD A– SAME.”
SZA’s North Node in Aquarius, located in her first house of identity, reveals where she’s growing: into her own voice, vision, truth. Paired with her Aquarius rising, this placement calls her to walk an unconventional path. Her music reflects herself and it awakens something in her listeners too.
