What does Rihanna’s astrology birth chart say about the artist? All about the Rihanna Super Bowl 2023 performance at the halftime show on February 12 (astrologically speaking!)
Rihanna performed the Halftime Show at the Super Bowl on February 12, 2023, her first performance since 2019!
On January 13, 2023, a short trailer dropped teasing the Super Bowl LVII Halftime Show featuring Rihanna! In the short video, the pop star draws a finger to lip to motion for silence just before her song, “Needed Me,” blasts. Check out the video trailer (below) on YouTube, “Rihanna Is Back,” produced by the Halftime Show’s sponsor, Apple Music.
You can also see the video on her Instagram account:
In September 2022 when the NFL first made its 2023 Super Bowl Halftime Show performance announcement, Rihanna’s fans got excited because she hasn’t performed in concert since February 2019!
Until the Superbowl announcement, Rihanna had stepped back from performing. In that time she became a mom and further built her phenomenally successful businesses, Fenty Beauty, Fenty Skin and Savage x Fenty, landing her on the Forbes’ list of billionaires in 2021.
Not too long ago (in 2019), the Pisces pop icon actually turned down the NFL’s invitation to perform! At the time, Rihanna said she declined because of the NFL’s treatment of Colin Kaepernick, the quarterback-slash-activist who famously took a knee during the national anthem at games to draw awareness to police brutality and racial inequality in the U.S. Rihanna hasn’t addressed her change of mind but several years have passed since the controversy.
After the announcement to perform at the Superbowl, Rihanna told Entertainment Tonight, the Halftime show felt like a “now or never” opportunity. The Hollywood Reporter quoted her saying “nothing would have gotten me out of the house if it wasn’t a challenge like that…You could get real comfortable being at home as a mom, [so this is] challenging myself to do something that I’ve never done before in my career. I have to live up to that challenge…”
As for the show, she told the publication: “I want to incorporate different aspects of entertainment and things that I just enjoy and bring it to the stage…I want to celebrate the music that I’ve made.”
In October 2022, Rihanna released “Lift Me Up,” for the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever soundtrack. It was her first single since 2016! Perhaps it’s a taste of what’s to come at the Halftime show and beyond!

Rihanna’s birth chart astrology
What does astrology say about Rihanna’s career and music?
Let’s start with her Sun sign and go through some key parts of Rihanna’s birth, or natal, chart.
Rihanna is a Pisces Sun
Pisces, the fantasy-fueled last sign of the zodiac, is the sign of imagination and art, so it’s no wonder that she has had so many chart-topping songs. And as one of the four eclectic mutable signs (along with Gemini, Virgo and Sagittarius) she has a knack for mixing genres. Spanning pop, dance, R&B, and other styles, her music is dripping with the creativity of her Pisces energy!
And as Pisces energy is deeply empathetic, she’s known for being involved in many humanitarian causes. She was named “Humanitarian of the Year” in 2017 by the Harvard Foundation for her work in advocating for education, health care and girls’ rights. This trait also aligns with her decision to not perform at the Super Bowl a few years ago.
Jupiter fuels Rihanna’s business acumen
Jupiter toured Pisces for a few chunks of 2022. A gift of that transit was expansion for Rihanna, including her new role as a mother to a Taurus son born on May 13, with Libra A$AP Rocky. Jupiter actually dipped into Aries when her son was born and sets up shop there again for the Super Bowl date (the full Jupiter in Aries transit dates are December 20, 2022 to May 16, 2023).
Jupiter in Aries highlights Rihanna’s second house of income, daily work and self-esteem. The “boss b*#@#” planet” visits each sign every 12-13 years. Rihanna, who already has a sizable empire thanks to her Fenty beauty brand, could really level up her bank accounts under this transit. She made Forbes’ billionaires list in 2021, recognized as “the richest female musician on the planet” and noted for building her empire on more than just music. Her further ascent as a mogul will know no bounds when Jupiter is in Aries at Super Bowl time.
The fire of Aries in Rihanna’s chart
Aries rising signs are the firecrackers of the zodiac, and Rihanna is no exception!
As an Aries rising, Rihanna’s chart ruler is Mars, the planet that governs passion and sex drive. Mars has a fierce nature. It’s not hard to see how that combination dominates not only Rihanna’s music, but provides the fuel for all her creative projects and endeavors.
With her moon in Aries as well, Rihanna’s inner emotions and desires line up with the outer impression of her rising sign. This alignment allows her to easily channel her emotional experience into her music.
In addition to her moon and rising signs, Rihanna also has Venus and Jupiter in Aries.
Venus is the planet of love, beauty and harmony, and it tells us who you will fall for…and how. This can be challenging because Aries is opposite the sign, Libra, that the love planet rules. (In astrospeak, Venus is “in detriment” in Aries, a harder placement for the planet of amour.) People with Venus in attention-loving Aries tend to fall head over heels in love fast, and their romantic journey can be dominated with a lot of twists and turns. To quote Rihanna, a Venus in Aries wants you to make her feel, “like I’m the only girl in the world.”
Meanwhile Jupiter inspires us to grow and take risks. Someone with Jupiter in Aries may be a real self-starter who cares out their own bold path through life. As the second-best-selling female music artist of all-time, Rihanna has certainly done that!
Jupiter takes 12-13 years to complete an orbit, which means it spends about a year in each of the zodiac signs during its trip. During the Super Bowl, Jupiter will be right at home for her as it transits through Aries, ensuring that she will shine bright like a diamond and move the crowds with intense emotion. This could be a particularly stirring performance during Rihanna’s fateful Jupiter return!
The grounding of Capricorn in Rihanna’s chart
Rihanna has three outer planets (Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune) in business-savvy Capricorn.
This zodiac sign’s energy brings the benefits of structure, delayed gratification and setting goals for the long haul. It makes a perfect counterbalance to the fire and water in her chart, supporting her in her long-term ambitions.
This is especially true with her Saturn placement. The many-ringed planet governs time, along with the wisdom and expertise that come from steady growth. Saturn rules Capricorn, so it is right at home in Rihanna’s chart. Born with Saturn in Capricorn, Rihanna is able to persevere through challenges and keep going as she rises to greater and greater success!
Uranus rules our higher minds and showcases our weirdness and youthful inclinations. Rihanna’s Uranus in Capricorn placement indicates an ability to channel her unique style and perspective into success as she rises up the ranks in the entertainment world.
The power of Neptune
The planet of creativity, Neptune rules the invisible realm. While other artists may struggle to stay focused and channel their creativity into long-term success, Neptune in Capricorn supports Rihanna having a breathtaking body of creative work under her umbrella (ella…ella), and in being a fierce business woman as well.
In 2012, Rihanna opened the doors to her global charity, the Clara Lionel Foundation. The foundation is named after her grandparents—a nod to the Capricorn-ruled respect and admiration for elders. The foundation’s philanthropic efforts include providing health care (Neptune is the healer) and education (which falls under the ninth house) for impoverished countries around the globe. In 2021, her home country declared her a National Hero of Barbados (and an ambassador long before that), due in part to her work in bringing relief funding after the island was ravaged by hurricanes.
But S.O.S.! With Neptune in her thrill-seeking ninth house, Rihanna has done her share of playing with fire, even alluding to a love of danger with songs like S&M. In 2009, illusions were shattered when ex-boyfriend Chris Brown violently attacked her on the way to the Grammy Awards, exposing the truth about their abusive relationship.
In a 2012 interview, a teary Rihanna revealed to Oprah that she felt a sense of protectiveness for Brown. “He made that mistake because he needed help. Who’s going to help him?”
With Neptune in Capricorn, it makes sense that Rihanna would have compassion for the wounded (and toxic) masculine.
This is an example of the complicated emotions Neptune can churn up—from unparalleled empathy to an ability to sacrifice one’s own needs to be there for another. Is it denial? Delusion? Enlightenment? When it comes to Neptune, it might just be all of the above.
The influence of Rihanna’s lunar nodes
The moon’s North and South Nodes are mathematical points on the chart that fall in two opposite zodiac signs.
The North Node can tell you where your destiny lies, while the South Node indicates who you were in past lives.
Rihanna’s Pisces North Node speaks to a destiny filled with creative freedom and excellence. Other famous Pisces North Nodes include Jay-Z, Jennifer Lopez, Gwen Stefani, Sting, and Adele, so you can see its influence throughout the world of music!
Her Virgo South Node could indicate a tendency toward perfectionism. Many Virgo South Nodes struggle with anxiety and tend to be overly hard on themselves. While that can be a difficult thing to move through, it can also lead to tremendous creative output with the right support systems.
