When Is Drake’s Birthday?

Drake’s birthday is October 24.

Drake’s Sun Sign Is In Mysterious Scorpio

The Sun represents the essence of your personality, your main character energy

Aubrey Drake Graham, better known as Drake, was born on October 24, 1986, in Toronto, Canada. His astrological sign is Scorpio.

Scorpio is a water sign associated with transformation, power and self-accountability. As a Scorpio Sun, there should have been little doubt that Drake was able to transform his career from TV child star on Degrassi: The Next Generation to the hip hop superstar we know today. 

Scorpios are obsessive and diligent, fixed signs who are master manifestors longing for control and self-empowerment (at whatever cost). You never know what’s lurking behind the surface with a Scorpio, their innate charm masking deeper, more complex waters. In Drake’s natal chart, intensity and privacy is turned up all the way, especially as Pluto, the modern ruler of Scorpio, is right by his Sun.

Pluto tends to swallow up whatever it aspects in the natal chart. With Pluto aspecting his Scorpio Sun, Drake’s identity is engulfed by Pluto; it would ultimately be difficult to discern who the real Drake is. Plutonian individuals tend to hold their cards close to their chest, naturally enshrouding them in a protective cloud of mystery.

Drake’s Chart Has A Scorpio Stellium

•A stellium is when three or more planets are in the same zodiac sign or house in a birth chart•

Not only is Drake’s Sun and Pluto in Scorpio, he also has Venus (love and relationships), and Mercury (communication/song-writing) all in the sign of the Scorpion. Additionally, his Scorpio Sun happens to be at 0 degrees, reflecting a critical degree that further underscores his Scorpio energy in the chart. 

0 degree placements tend to reflect the unfiltered/concentrated nature of the sign, it’s akin to a baby receiving superpowers for the first time without understanding what to do with their abilities and potential. He’s got a lot of Scorpio energy and a lot of people trying to drain him of his energy (if he’s not careful).

At a high vibration, Scorpio energy can alchemize painful moments into vulnerable honesty, magnetizing abundance and opportunity in the process. As a very Scorpionic individual, Drake can be an incredibly loyal ally, with the endurance to withstand emotional complications in a relationship. Don’t get on his bad side however, the Scorpion stinger can strike quickly when you least expect it. 

With that much Scorpio in his chart, Drake runs the risk of getting swept up in a tidal pool of his intense Scorpio emotions; his innately gifted intuition flooded by fear and paranoia, indicative of innate wounding that has yet to be integrated.

Drake’s Moon Is In Tender Cancer

•Your moon sign governs the “inner you” and influences your emotions•

Drake’s moon is in Cancer, placing emphasis on family matters (chosen or otherwise) in his life; keep the family close he croons on “Views.” Cancer is also the sign associated with the mother—no surprises that Drake’s mom, Sandy Graham, has played an important role in his music and lyrics; their relationship a barometer for Drake’s relationship with success. 

Drake shines his brightest when he’s able to unabashedly express his deepest emotions in a relatable way through his music. However, at a low vibration, Drake could get a little too caught up in his feelings (Kiki do you love him?); he might find it challenging to see someone else’s emotional perspective through his tears.

Drake’s Cancer moon is located in his eleventh house of strategic alliances and fans. It makes sense that his sad boy rap/R&B melodic disposition connected with a broad audience (especially female ones). Drake’s Cancer moon offers a more feminine tone to his music that the traditionally hyper-masculine genre might ordinarily shy away from. 

Drake’s Rising Sign Is In Superstar Leo

•Your rising sign, or ascendant, is the first impression you make. Like a filter, it “tints” your Sun sign•

Drake is a Leo Rising. Just like the Sun, Leo risings have gravitas, an undeniable energetic pull that makes you stand up and take notice when they walk into a room. Like Mufasa leading the pride in The Lion King, Leo risings are natural leaders with innate regality. As a Leo rising, Drake is a gifted performer, energized by public adoration and receptivity. Respect is hugely important for Leo risings, they’re here to be recognized and appreciated for their creative expression.

Drake’s rising sign happens to be at 29 degrees, another critical degree emphasized in his natal chart. While his 0 degree Scorpio Sun might feel new, potent and potentially overwhelming, Drake’s Leo rising self is here to navigate a different battle. The final degree of a sign can be interpreted as a point of completion and culmination—the idea of the final exam before graduating to the lessons of the next sign. 

He’s got a lot of enemies coming for the throne, which might explain the seemingly cosmic Taylor-made rap beef/pile-on that Drake is navigating in the Hip-Hop community. 

Drake’s Chart Ruler Is None Other Than His Scorpio Sun!

Your chart ruler is the planet that rules over your rising sign

As a Leo Rising, Drake’s chart is ruled by his Scorpio Sun. A chart ruler acts like your personal avatar in the movie of your life. With Drake’s Scorpio Sun steering his chart, his radiant Leo Rising identity takes on Scorpio’s intensity and insatiability, dialing up the charm on his persona. Drake would name one of his albums Scorpion.

It’s interesting to think about his Scorpio Sun elementally challenging his fiery Leo rising identity. Scorpio is known for its fondness of the dark while Leo the light, the juxtaposition begging for integration within one being. Leo and Scorpio both ultimately want the same thing: self-love, acceptance and self-respect, yet both are capable of putting on a show that masks their true perspective for likes.

With his Scorpio Sun placed in his third house of song-writing and perspective, Drake is able to use music as a vessel to help work through his issues and trauma, masterfully using his Leo rising creativity to bring the performance to life, or highlighting healthy competition, like in “First Person Shooter” featuring J. Cole.

Love Astrology of Drake: Intellectual Stimulation Is a Turn-On

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.

Mars and Venus form a challenging aspect known as a square in Drake’s chart. Just because aspects are challenging, however, does not mean they are bad; aspects are intended to be integrated, with squares posing significant growth opportunities and subsequent rewards.

Drake has Mars in Aquarius elementally squaring Venus in Scorpio, the cool airy disposition of Aquarius challenging the watery depths of Scorpio. Trust issues are most definitely on the tracklist. 

With Mars in Aquarius, Drake is turned on by those that march to the beat of their own drum; he’s not looking for run-of-the-mill, he is turned on by intellectual stimulation and idea-exchange. Mars in Aquarius types place heightened importance on friendship as the foundation for any potential romantic relationship. 

However, his Mars in Aquarius’ lust for friendship and emotionally detached tendencies could interfere with his desire for a deep emotional bond, as suggested by his Venus in Scorpio. The idea of Drake obsessing over a romantic interest and then immediately pulling back and moving on to the next out of subconscious fear of rejection rings true. 

Drake’s Venus in Scorpio longs to merge mind, body, and soul with a committed partner, yet might ultimately find it challenging to maintain his independence and emotional space.

Drake’s Destiny-Driven Nodes Show He’s A Game-Changer

Drake has his South Node (past-life karma) in Libra and his North Node (destiny) in Aries. His South Node is located in his third house (associated with Gemini energy), while his North Node is located in his ninth house (associated with Sagittarius energy).

Drake is here to ultimately move away from shallow, people pleasing tendencies, both in his music as well as his personal relationships. He’s looking to use his music and performance as a vessel to help alchemize his demons. His Libra South Node offers him inherent artistic gifts at his disposal, however, Drake could find himself entrapped by the allure of popular music and catchy beats, a mirror for the more superficial nature of relationships/partnerships he might find himself surrounded by.

With the North Node in Aries, Drake has to be courageous with his truth and needs. He’s here to work through external social projections he’s internalized, consequently affecting his artistry, motivations and relationships. He’s here to be a game-changer, not pander to the audience and his nay-sayers, which reflect his own complicated relationship with self-criticism and fears of being left behind/abandoned.
