Brat Astrology

Charli XCX was born August 2, 1992, making her a Leo Sun, Leo Rising, and Virgo Moon. Only a Leo would dedicate an entire cultural season to themselves (cue: Brat Summer). Leo placements crave the spotlight and they don’t need to be chasing fame because they are directing it.

Her Mercury and Venus are also in Leo, giving her that signature loud-and-proud creativity. She doesn’t shy away from celebrity, but she’s definitely weaponized it. In astrology, Venus in Leo is the drama queen of love and beauty. Mercury in Leo speaks like they’re onstage even when they’re just tweeting.

But being bratty doesn’t mean skipping the grind. Charli’s Saturn in Aquarius sits in her sixth house (the house of routine, discipline, and work ethic). She co-wrote “I Love It” with Icona Pop at just 20, but it took over a decade to fully step into her “final form.” That’s Saturn in the sixth. No overnight success, but years of refining and rebranding. 

She thrives around women. Her Virgo moon (she’s an overthinker and perfectionist, and probably overanalyzes everything) in her Second House of self-worth and possessions shows that she could be depending on her mother and her girlfriends for validation and confidence. 

Now let’s talk about her wedding. Charli married longtime partner George Daniel on July 19, 2025, right as Mercury stationed retrograde, a choice that made astrologers gasp. But plot twist: Charli was born with Mercury retrograde in Leo, so she's built for this. Mercury retro natives often thrive during retrograde because it feels like home turf. Not only that, the Moon was in Taurus, exalted and stable, transiting her tenth house of public image. Venus (love) made a supportive trine to Saturn (commitment), suggesting that Charli and George have a loving and even karmic partnership between them.

Charli also has Juno (the asteroid of commitment) in her tenth house, the same house that rules legacy and career. Guess where she met George? While they were collaborating on Spinning in 2021. Co-workers! 

Her natal Pluto in Scorpio in her Fourth House of home and privacy suggest that her childhood really shaped her into becoming the it girl we all know and love.

The pop star’s North Node in Sagittarius (worldwide, expansion) sits in her fifth house of creativity and performance. Her life purpose is to make noise and entertain the masses. 

Predictions:

• Fall 2025: With eclipses activating her third and ninth houses, expect a shift in communication and creative direction—possibly a tour documentary, book, or unexpected new medium (fashion? film?).
  
  

• 2026–2027: Saturn moves into Aries and will oppose her Libra placements, testing boundaries in love and collaboration and refining her inner circle. A new era of serious artistic partnerships may emerge. Hit single with another popular artist? (It’s giving Girl, So Confusing Pt. 2)
  
  

• 2030: Uranus will enter Leo and conjunct her Sun and this is going to be huge. Total reinvention. A Madonna-level pivot. She might go full experimental, change genres, or disappear and return with a rebirth.
  
  

Only the brattiest girl of all could have this many Leo placements and pretend not to care. Whether she believes in it or not, her chart is doing exactly what it’s supposed to do.
