A deep dive into Rihanna and A$AP Rocky’s astrological compatibility

After months of rumors swirling about whether Rihanna and A$AP Rocky were officially dating, a simple look at their birth chart could have confirmed what everyone was dying to know. Of course, they are dating: they are an astrological match made in heaven. A$AP Rocky finally shut down the rumors in May 2021 during a QG interview where he called Rihanna “the love of [his] life.” And with the recent announcement they’re expecting, the internet has become abuzz with even more love for the couple.

If you analyze Rihanna and A$AP Rocky’s astrological compatibility through synastry, the process of comparing one person’s birth chart with another person’s chart and finding patterns of ease and challenges, it becomes even clearer why this dynamic duo makes such an epic pairing. (Note: A$AP Rocky’s official birth time is not public, so it is not possible to know his rising sign, which is essential for making astrological predictions. That said, there is still plenty of astro goodness to work with.)

Here’s a closer look at what the planets were doing when Rihanna and A$AP Rocky were born and how they aligned to create such a loving and nurturing match.

Their Sun-Moon Aspects Mean This Is The Real Deal

If you’re invested in celebrity astrology, you might already know that Rihanna has a sensitive and creative Pisces Sun, but she was also born with an Aries Ascendant, a fierce and fiery Moon and Venus. Aries are passionate, courageous and prefer to lead than follow. His entrepreneurial spirit also shines through in some of these Aries internships. Meanwhile, A$AP Rocky is a Libra sun: artistic, intelligent and charming out of the ordinary. In astrology, Aries and Libra are opposite signs (aka sister signs), making them complementary pairs. The conflicting energy of Aries is tempered by the tact of Libra. There is a natural ebb and flow and balance within this pairing.

Since Rihanna is an Aries Ascendant, the part of her marriage-governing chart that is called the Descendant and is always opposite to the Rising sign is occupied by Libra. A$AP Rocky’s sun, identity, life force and life purpose is literally in the sector of Rihanna’s birth chart which represents long term partnership and marriage.

Not only does her sun trail in this part of her birth chart, but it also forms an opposition with Rihanna’s moon (her emotional world) and Venus (her love language). Oppositions fuel attraction and romance and invite you to take action. Rihanna’s needs and desires (her moon and Venus) feel safe and appreciated by the essence and identity of A$AP Rocky (her sun). A$AP Rocky’s sense of self and identity feels supported and uplifted by Rihanna’s moon and Venus. Sun-moon contacts are common in long-term partner charts because the outer world and one person’s sense of self (the sun) is received and understood by the other person’s inner sense of self and this what she needs inside to feel safe, secure and nurtured (the moon). It’s a sweet aspect that creates instant rapport, friendship and undeniable chemistry.

But what about Rihanna’s Pisces emotional sunshine? Well, A$AP Rocky is a Cancer moon, which is also a water sign. And let’s just say Cancer Moons know a thing or two about emotional feeling. These two aren’t shy about expressing their feelings, embracing vulnerability, and using each other as creative inspiration.

Their sexual chemistry is next level

They have the makings of a lasting couple, but you know what else probably doesn’t hurt? This sexual tension. Rihanna’s Mars is in Sagittarius and A$AP Rocky’s Venus is in Leo, both in fire signs. In astrology, Venus represents what you value in partnership and what you desire. Mars represents what attracts you and, quite literally, sex. When Venus on one person and Mars on the other share the same element, there is an effortless dialogue between the two planets. No difficulty getting to know each other’s bodies, just sexual chemistry that can feel like they’re on the next level every time they connect. To make things hotter, A$AP Rocky’s Mars in Aries conjuncts Rihanna’s Venus in Aries. Translation: Their love and sex planets are literally superimposed in the sky and in the same zodiac sign.

Not only do they have similar sexual appetites and find themselves unbearably attractive (I mean, who is not it think these two are hot?), but the stars also suggest they have great communication. After all, if you want to have good sex, you also need to know how to communicate. These two both have their Mercury locations in the air signs, meaning there’s an innate overlap in how their minds process information and share information. There’s less room for misunderstandings and hurt feelings when people have compatible Mercury placements. Rihanna’s Mercury is in eclectic and quirky Aquarius and A$AP Rocky’s Mercury is in social Libra. This duo has a physical connection, an emotional connection, and a mental connection.

Did Rihanna and A$AP Rocky have Any Challenges?

A lot of their charts show strong compatibility, but of course each couple has a few areas where they will have to compromise. Relationships take work, even those that were destined and written in the stars. Rihanna’s Saturn is in Capricorn. In astrology, Saturn represents your discipline, your responsibility, your challenges and even your inner critic. A$AP Rocky’s Mars, the planet of action, drive, and motivation (and yes, as mentioned before, sex), is in Aries. These two form a square with each other, which creates a somewhat difficult dynamic. Mars wants to act impulsively, and Saturn wants to slow down and plan.

Some of the ways A$AP Rocky acts or things he feels called to act on may elicit a reaction within Rihanna. From time to time, Rihanna’s Saturn can be overly insightful or even critical of certain A$AP Rocky actions. They don’t have to be wild and dramatic, it could be something as simple as getting annoyed with the way he chews his food. He may be able to press his buttons and grind his gears from time to time. But what healthy relationship doesn’t have some?

Even their pregnancy was fatal

Now the world knows they’re expecting a baby (congratulations, you two!), and the timing couldn’t be more cosmic: Jupiter, the planet of growth, expansion, and fertility, has entered Pisces. on December 28, 2021, and a few days later it moved onto Rihanna’s sun. Jupiter transits are known for their correlation with pregnancy announcements and conception. A$AP Rocky also has his North Node in Pisces, a point in the sky that represents fate and destiny, again symbolizing that this little one was meant to be.

It’s hard not to be excited about their little cosmic blessing, and I, for one, can’t wait to watch their baby’s birth chart.
