Taylor Swift birth chart explained
WHETHER she’s singing country ballads, pop anthems, or alternative tunes, Taylor Swift is best known for the rawness she brings into many of her songs.
Now, we’ve dissected her natal star chart to get a better glimpse into who Taylor Swift is and how the influence of the planets shaped who she is today.
Sun in Sagittarius
Taylor Swift’s Sun sign is Sagittarius, meaning that she was born to leave her mark on the world with her big plans and determination to see them through no matter what.
Sagittarius Suns are known for their optimism – even amidst the pain – proving that Taylor’s breakups may have been the fuel behind her heartbreak anthems.
Still, her spirit created the song’s genius.
Further, a Sagittarius Sun is always down for a fun time or a new adventure, and they’re known for seeking new horizons and always looking to learn new things.
This is especially true for Taylor, who couldn’t mark her coming-of-age years by studying for the SATs or going off to college like so many of her friends and listeners, but whose literary references and vocabulary have proven that she’s ever the bookworm.
Your sun sign represents your attitude towards life, life’s events, and your potential in this lifetime.
It symbolizes your generalized personality and the traits that stick out most to others.
It can also represent your ego and pride, which are key themes that Taylor has wrestled with.

This is undoubtedly true for Taylor, who has written several songs about her mom and is often willing to go to battle for her fans.
While your Sun sign represents who you have the potential to be, your Moon sign is about who you already are on a cellular, emotional and intuitive level.
It’s a catch-all for your emotions, feelings, and how you mentally or physically react to them.
It also represents your subconscious or the thoughts in your peripheral.

She’s organized and methodical when planning her release dates and sets out clues for each of them long before fans know of the project she’s working on.
It’s not odd that Taylor’s secret love language to her fans is encoded in Capricorn; it’s how she communicates with the outside world (in addition to her music).
Your Mercury sign represents everything about how you handle information.
It’s about exchanging ideas with those around you and communicating the information you have to others.
