Today we’ll be looking at the chart of Elon Musk using the ancient timing technique of Hellensitic Astrology. This technique does not look at natal chart astrology but looks at the premise of fate and fortune using Arabic Lots.
The Lot of Fortune - health and body matters or things that might occur through no fault of your own and the Lot of Spirit - career, overall life direction and mental energy.
Hellenistic astrology is broken down in 5 stages - L1, L2, L3, L4 and LBs. Think of these stages as a book. L1 is the main chapter, L2 are the paragraphs, L3 are the sentences, L4 are the words and LBs are the “loosening of the bonds” which represent a pivot point /change in direction to the life trajectory. The techique uses the 7 traditonal rulers: Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Venus, Saturn and Juptier.
Methodology:
Whole sign houses.
Chart Sect: Day (While the time, 7:30am is a day chart and would normally mean Sun above the horizon. You can clearly see that the Sun is below the below the horizon and just 8° superior to his AS, but also Mars is well above the horizon. This chart is what is known as ‘contrary to sect’).
Moon Ruled Chart (Cancer Rising)
Benefics: Moon (most positive), Venus (moderately positive)
Malefics: Saturn (most challenging), Mars (moderately challenging)
Musk is a Cancer Sun/Cancer Rising. His first house contains Sun, AS and Mercury.
Moon is ruler of the 1st house but is found in the 3rd house. This means there a mutual reception. There is also a sextile of Sun-Moon, amplifying Moon in third and Sun in the first. The ruler of the AS (Moon/Cancer) is in the 3rd which is naturally ruled by Mercury, so topics like siblings, transportation are highlighted. He has the company Tesla, which builds electric cars; with Mercury in Cancer can mean using technology with our bodies. We know that science and engineering are some of the things related to Mercury and the 3rd house, but so is misinformation, misdirection, cleverness and cunning.
Some background: Musk started a company called Zip2 (video, 1998) with his brother Kimbal and a friend Greg Kouri in 1995. Together, they created a company (with Musk coding the website) that made it possible for computer users to find local businesses - like a searchable business directory that was somewhat like an internet “yellow pages” which included telephone numbers and Maps. The company partnered with the NYT and Chicago Tribune to provide online content and paved the way for modern services like Google Maps. Musk sold Zip2 to computer company Compaq in 1999 for $307M cash, with Musk receiving $22M for his 7% share. All before he was 30 years old.
NOTE: In the above linked video, pay attention to why Musk chose that particular office to work out of - he specifically mentions “drilling a whole through the floor and connecting to the internet”. This becomes an important feature in latter businesses.
With the proceeds from Zip2, he founded X.com in 1999, which was an online financial services company. This company merged with Confinity, owned by Peter Thiel, and went on to become payments giant, PayPal in 2000. Musk served briefly as CEO of Payal but when Musk was on his honeymoon, Thiel and the board of PayPal outsed him. Replacing Musk with Thiel as CEO. In 2002, eBay bought PayPal for $1.5B with Musk receiving an estimated $165 - $180M for his stake in the company. This gave Musk the funds to start Tesla and SpaceX.
Just looking at his chart - there really no indication of great wealth - the South Node is in his 2nd house (which can mean resources being sucked-up like a vaccum cleaner - the feeling of having been there, done that) and his 2nd house ruler is the Sun (Leo) in the 1st. What we can take from this aspect is that his identity is very much connected to his identity.
So where does a significator of wealth show his chart? Look to the 8th house. The eight house is all about shared resources, other people’s money, monies belonging to others. Mars in this house is pretty aggressive - meaning that there could be takeovers, or the using of other people’s resources to make money and get ahead. Thing of note - his Mars was about to station retrograde in Aquarius in 1973. That it is conjunct his North Node gives it more power. What does in mean being domiciled in Aquarius - think the use of “other people’s resouces” such as humanitarian ideals, visionary ideals, independent nature and/or power to get ahead or make money. Think about AI training models on Twitter.
However, something weird happened with Elon around 2016, when then 45, was president. He went from being a techie-nerdie persona interested in electric cars and producing “safe” energy for the environment via nuclear power plants. Suddenly, he was “red-pilled”. This is the period that interest me the most - I mean what happened?
He was coming off a Level 1, 17 year cool down period (1999, Cancer) and in 2016 this cycle ended with an Level 2, LB in Capricorn. All of his peak periods occur across mutable signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces) and his cool down periods happen across the cardinal signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn). Level 1s are big deals, followed by Level 2s. Level 3 - 4s are changes that happen at lower point in life - like months and weeks.
Musk then also acquired Solar City (a solar panel company) in 2016, from his two cousins, rebranding it Tesla Solar however, Tesla Solar is not doing well as a business.
In 2018, he came under investigation by the FEC for practicing market manipulation by Tweet:
The Securities and Exchange Commission announced today that Elon Musk, CEO and Chairman of Silicon Valley-based Tesla Inc., has agreed to settle the securities fraud charge brought by the SEC against him last week. The SEC also today charged Tesla with failing to have required disclosure controls and procedures relating to Musk’s tweets, a charge that Tesla has agreed to settle. The settlements, which are subject to court approval, will result in comprehensive corporate governance and other reforms at Tesla—including Musk’s removal as Chairman of the Tesla board—and the payment by Musk and Tesla of financial penalties.
According to the SEC’s complaint against him, Musk tweeted on August 7, 2018 that he could take Tesla private at $420 per share — a substantial premium to its trading price at the time — that funding for the transaction had been secured, and that the only remaining uncertainty was a shareholder vote. The SEC’s complaint alleged that, in truth, Musk knew that the potential transaction was uncertain and subject to numerous contingencies. Musk had not discussed specific deal terms, including price, with any potential financing partners, and his statements about the possible transaction lacked an adequate basis in fact. According to the SEC’s complaint, Musk’s misleading tweets caused Tesla’s stock price to jump by over six percent on August 7, and led to significant market disruption.

He stepped down as Tesla’s chairman for at least 3 years. And he paid no taxes in 2018.
Then in April 2022, he made an unsolicited bid to purchase Twitter for $44B, which was first turned down, then accepted. Musk tried to renege on the deal in July 2022 citing spam bots and other issues. He was then sued by Twitter.
Facing trial over the attempted termination of the deal, he changed his mind and became the new owner and CEO. He then took the company private and the first thing he did was fire half the employees but in particular the “trust and safety” employees who fact checked Tweets and implemented safety checks on dangerous accounts. He then rebranded Twitter as X.
Fast foward to 2023 - he started a prep period (beginning something new) in September 2023 (Leo), all of his prep periods are across fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius).
I think it is safe to assume he that in 2023, he is “preparing” for a new Big Picture happening but, I do not feel that it will go as he thinks it will…and for the reason that Mars is going Rx in Leo all the way back into Cancer - his Sun sign/AC. By February 2025. I feel he will fall out of favor with 47.
Think of the levels of divison as a book:
L1s - decades of a life section and the BIG PICTURE which spans 8-30 years,
L2s - are like the chapters which span 8 months - 2.5 years
L3s - are the paragraphs and span 3 weeks to 2.5 months
L4s - are the sentences which span a handful of days/specific day
Prep periods mean before
Peak periods are during
Cool down periods represent after
Peak periods are not always positive - they can be uncomfortable and challenging.
Transiting retrograde Mars is in his first house self with tranisiting Moon, MC and they all touch his natal Sun, AS and Mercury. Vettius Valens says:
“Mars signifies violence, wars, banishment, exile, loss of friends, anger, verbal abuse, hatred and lawsuits, ect.”
47 is Leo Rising, with Cancer on the 12th house cusp. I feel this makes Musk a hidden enemy - he’s all up in 47s 12th house. I feel there may be harsh words between the two - as if one is trying to “take over or be the boss” and 47 will NOT stand for it. If past is prologue (Paypal episode with Thiel), Elon may be out.
It may happen “behind the scenes” (47’s12th house). But will definitely be harsh words, high emotions and may even involve a power struggle of some sort. Triggered by the Full Moon in Leo, 12 February 2025, expect to hear some kind of news -publicly or leaked -about the dust up. By the New Moon in Pisces, 27 February 2025 - 3 March, 2025 - it will be done. Whatever happened on 1 June, 2024 is foreshadowed by the 3 March 2025, date. I am really wondering if it’s a fallout with 47 or a fight with Tesla board?
Maybe both? We will just have to wait and see how this may occur. It could be any number of things.
Of interest - while researching this article I ran across this short article in The Onion and rumor has it the Musk bought Twitter for a “specific” reason which was - he bought it to counter Trans issues - one of his twin sons - Xavier is now a trans female, Vivian Jenna Wilson.
Personal Note: I am taking my own advice in limiting my news consumption and would like to ask a favor of you. Can I ask you to help me by notifying me of any 47/Musk newstories and notify me in my chat? This will help me to look at transits and give a psychic interpretation on what you may share.
Until next time. Be Good to Yourselves.
Tara, xx
Great article. Will be interesting to see how the bromance with 47 ends. I suspect badly.
Extraordinary observations and analysis Tara, amazing, not least the correlating of timings of ventures, activities and pauses with mutable, fixed and cardinal periods.
