Tina Turner has the Sun in Sagittarius, the Moon in Gemini and Leo rising: the Queen of Rock 'n' Roll, with a chart full of fire and movement, and a story of starting again that very few careers can match.

She was born Anna Mae Bullock at 10:10 in the evening on 26 November 1939 in Brownsville, Tennessee. Astro-Databank rates the time AA, from a birth record in hand. She became famous in the 1960s in the duo Ike & Tina Turner, left the marriage in 1976, and in 1984, in her mid-forties, released Private Dancer, which made her a solo star around the world. She later moved to Switzerland, became a Swiss citizen in 2013, and died at her home on Lake Zurich in 2023.

Sun and Mercury in Sagittarius, in the 4th house

Her Sun is at 4 degrees of Sagittarius with Mercury beside it, both in the 4th house of home and roots. Sagittarius is the sign of faith, travel and the long road, and her life took her a long way from a small town in Tennessee. The 4th house is also about finding a home of your own, and she found hers late, on the shore of Lake Zurich with her husband, Erwin Bach. Raised in the Baptist church, she later became a Buddhist and sometimes called herself a "Buddhist–Baptist".

Moon in Gemini, at the top of the chart

Her Moon is in Gemini in the 10th house, the house of career and public life, and it sits exactly opposite Mercury. A Gemini Moon needs movement and expression, and in the 10th house it lives its feelings in public. The Sun squares Mars in Pisces in her 7th house of partnership, a hard aspect in the area of marriage. She wrote openly about the abuse she suffered in her first marriage, in her autobiography I, Tina (1986), and her story became a film, a musical and a documentary.

Leo rising, with a Taurus Midheaven

Leo rising is the performer's Ascendant: warm, commanding and made for the stage. Hers fits a singer famous for her energy on stage as much as for her voice, who in 1988 drew one of the largest paying audiences ever for a solo artist, in Rio de Janeiro. Her Midheaven, the public role, is in Taurus, the sign of the voice and of staying power: she was still touring in her late sixties. Venus in Sagittarius in her 5th house of performance makes a close trine to Saturn, a sign of love and joy that grows stronger with age.
