When Is Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ Birthday?
Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ birthday is November 4.
Diddy’s Sun Sign Is in “Bad Boy Records” Scorpio
•The Sun represents the essence of your personality, your main character energy•
Sean “Diddy” Combs’ was born Sean John Combs on November 4, 1969, in Harlem, New York. He has gone by several other names over the years, like Puff Daddy and P. Diddy.
Diddy’s astrological sign is Scorpio, a water sign known for its penetrative insight and desire for power, control, and transformation.
As a Scorpio Sun, Diddy is intense, passionate and magnetic—the makings of “big mogul energy.” Despite his powerful persona, it’s hard to know the real Sean Combs, given the Scorpionic tendency to hold their cards close to their chest. Scorpio people are very private (they love a good NDA) and tend to run in a tight inner circle, regardless of how big their entourage might seem to outsiders. Scorpio is a sign that isn’t afraid to touch upon “taboo” matters (which include sex and sexuality) and dive deep into the underworld.
Diddy’s Sun isn’t the only planet in Scorpio—he also has Mercury, the planet of communication, names and children in the fixed sign (especially disturbing in the wake of recent headlines), further emphasizing his Scorpio energy. At a high vibration, Scorpio is resilient, ambitious, and empowered. On the other hand, Scorpio can be ruthless, cruel, and power-hungry.

Saturn In Diddy’s Chart Creates Some Opposing Forces
•Saturn’s placement in your birthchart can reveal some of life’s toughest lessons•
Saturn is the planet of structure, discipline and responsibility. Diddy has Saturn in Taurus—a zodiac sign associated with fashion, food and business (shades of its ruler, Venus). It’s no surprise Diddy launched his wildly successful clothing line Sean John (even winning the CFDA Menswear’s Designer of the Year award in 2004) and served as a prolific brand ambassador for Cîroc vodka.
Saturn in Taurus suggests a strong work ethic and a desire for achievement. This influence may have pushed Diddy to take on significant responsibilities stemming from a need to prove self to self. Saturn can indicate barriers and lessons often learned through hardship—Diddy may have faced challenges that shaped his determination and success.
Tauruses also make excellent hosts, emblematic of Diddy’s “White Party“—previously an A-List staple (a Taurus core theme) and the subject of much scrutiny and scandal, as of this writing.
Diddy’s Saturn in Taurus forms a tense opposition to his Scorpio Sun (self) and Mercury (movement)—the idea of his reputation as a savvy and successful businessman (Saturn in Taurus) being at odds with his true Scorpionic in that shadows can be reflected by the opposition. Another interpretation could read that Diddy has control issues (Scorpio) around appropriate boundaries (Saturn) as it relates to matters of the flesh (Taurus).
Mars and Venus Take On New Meaning in Diddy’s Chart
•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, the planet of drive and aggression, and Venus, the planet of love and beauty, form a tense dynamic known as a square in Diddy’s chart. Diddy has Mars in institutional Capricorn and Venus in high society Libra. With these planets influencing his relationships and creativity, let’s just say that his experiences with love and passion are charged with friction.
Depending on how he uses the energy, Diddy could find himself magnetized to profound connections that could result in tumultuous relationships as he navigates his desires (and libido). Mars in Capricorn types are attracted to power and those in charge, working with Libra’s desire for social connection. Diddy’s Mars is empowered in Capricorn, offering him cosmic support as he climbs his mountain—very little can stand in his way.
Venus, on the other hand, feels right at home in Libra as one of the rulers of the people-loving sign (Venus also rules Diddy’s Saturn in Taurus). While ordinarily a sweet and convivial placement, Venus in Libra can deploy manipulation and sweet talk that masks serious societal injustices—Libra is the sign of the scales and the law. Not only that, Diddy’s Venus is emphasized by expansive Jupiter, the planet of abundance, opportunity and wealth. Jupiter magnifies anything it touches—the good, the bad and the ugly.
Jupiter and Venus coming together evoke low vibrational Great Gatsby vibes—good times for all, yet someone could end up dead in the swimming pool and no one would bat an eye—especially with both squaring off with antagonistic Mars.
Diddy’s South Node Is In Controlling Virgo
•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).
Diddy has his South Node (past-life karma) in Virgo and his North Node (destiny) in Pisces. This can pull him down into his complicated relationship with internalized shame, neuroticism, and control.
With a North Node in Pisces, Diddy’s spirituality and creativity are key to his healing and a developed sense of empathy and compassion. And yet, Pisces is also the sign of illusions, glamour, fame and innocence—everything he seemingly embodied until his karma began to harvest (Virgo).

Diddy’s Cosmic Weather: Pluto’s Dance and Eclipse ‘Hot Zones’
While Diddy’s natal chart holds energetic potential, the cosmic weather activating his energies over the last couple of years has been a little stormy, to put it mildly.
Firstly, Pluto, the planet of transformation and excavation, has been dancing between Capricorn and Aquarius since March 2023, lighting up Diddy’s Mars (action and behavior) and Venus (legality and social matters) square.
Pluto tends to dredge up dark matter hiding in the shadows when it comes to town—in the sign of Capricorn, the toppling of old patriarchal systems in society at large. This will be the last time Pluto travels through Capricorn in our lifetimes, remaining in the earth sign through November 19. Buckle up for more revelations among some prominent leadership as Pluto exits Capricorn.
Keep your eyes peeled for eclipses moving forward as “hot zones” around Diddy’s legal narrative, too. The last set of eclipses in spring 2024 resulted in his home raid with the fall 2024 eclipse season kickstarted a brand new eclipse series in Virgo-Pisces that culminated with his arrest and ensuing investigation. Diddy is going through his nodal return, a karmic period of major course correction.
