Born: August 22, 1995, 12:18 AM local time, Westminster, London, England. Source: Astro-Databank, Rodden rating A.
The A rating means the birth time is considered reliable, typically given by the person herself or a close source, so the rising sign, the Midheaven and the houses below can be read with real confidence, just one step short of a birth-certificate-grade AA.

Two planets sit sixteen minutes apart in gLeo. The Sun at 28ยฐ25' and Venus at 28ยฐ41' are conjunct, both in the 4th house, the library's house of home and roots.
She was born in London to Kosovo Albanian parents, moved with her family to Pristina as a child, then came back to London alone at fifteen to chase a music career. A Sun-Venus conjunction in the house of origin and belonging sits right at the center of that story.
Sun conjunct Venus in Leo, in the 4th house
The Sun at 28ยฐ25' and Venus at 28ยฐ41' Leo are conjunct, orb 0ยฐ16', the tightest aspect in the chart with a library reading behind it. Venus never strays more than about 48 degrees from the Sun, so this pairing is the only major aspect the two planets can ever form.
The library reads Sun conjunct Venus as an attractive, creative, sociable presence with a real gift for connection, often carrying artistic talent or a refined eye for beauty. It notes that most people with this aspect feel incomplete without a partner or companion, and that the same magnetism which draws people in can tip into overspending, especially on people they love. The Sun in Leo on its own adds confidence, warmth and a pull toward the spotlight; Venus in Leo wants love to feel dramatic and admired, like a performance on stage.
In the 4th house, the library's Sun describes someone devoted to family and proud of their roots, drawn to tracing genealogy or keeping ancestral memory alive at home, while its Venus in the same house adds a home decorated with real care and a pull toward inheritance or family support. She has spoken often and publicly about her Albanian heritage and her ties to Kosovo, including humanitarian work connected to the region, and about her father Dukagjin Lipa, a musician whose own career shaped her path into the industry.
Moon in Cancer, in the 2nd house
The Moon sits at 10ยฐ23' fCancer, its own sign, in the 2nd house, the house of money and self-worth.
The library's Cancer Moon runs on feeling more than logic, with a deep memory, strong intuition and a devotion that holds on tight, sometimes staying in a situation out of fear of being alone rather than genuine happiness. In the 2nd house, it ties emotional security directly to money and possessions: accumulating resources calms an inner anxiety more than it chases abundance, and spending tends to happen most freely during a low mood rather than a high one.
She moved back to London alone at fifteen and worked ordinary jobs, including waitressing, while trying to break into music before her first record deal. A Cancer Moon tied to financial security in the self-worth house fits a performer whose early years ran on exactly that kind of precariousness.
Mercury in Virgo and Mars in Libra, both in the 5th house
Mercury sits at 19ยฐ51' hVirgo and Mars at 19ยฐ24' Libra, both in the 5th house, the house of creativity and performance.
The library's Virgo Mercury is analytical and detail-driven, gathering information and weighing every angle before deciding, well suited to any work that rewards precision. Libra Mars prefers cooperation to confrontation, invests heavily in relationships, and brings a natural aesthetic sense to whatever it builds. In the 5th house, the library's Mercury favors intellectual connection as the foundation of real attachment and notes a talent some with this placement have for writing or public speaking; its Mars favors a quieter, organizing role in competitive or creative projects over being the face of them.
That mix, precision plus a drive for balance, sitting in the house of creative output, matches a career built on a famously exacting visual and sonic concept: the disco-era rollout of Future Nostalgia in 2020, art-directed from the album cover through every video.
Jupiter in Sagittarius and Pluto in Scorpio, both in the 6th house
Jupiter sits at 6ยฐ06' lSagittarius, its own sign, and Pluto at 27ยฐ52' Scorpio, both in the 6th house, the house of daily work.
The library calls Jupiter in Sagittarius one of its most fortunate placements, bringing opportunity, generosity and a readiness to walk away from a well-paid role that doesn't fit, driven instead by travel, ideas and a wide view of the world. In the 6th house, it adds good luck through colleagues and a tendency to take on more work than planned because the offers keep coming. Pluto in Scorpio, generational for her whole age group, gives an instinct for turning crisis into reinvention; in the 6th house, the library ties that to an intense, largely self-reliant work ethic and a body that regenerates through a real balance of effort and rest.
She signed with Warner Bros Records in 2014 after years of modeling and posting cover songs online, and the workload since has been relentless by her own account, constant touring layered under constant recording.
Uranus and Neptune in Capricorn, both retrograde
Uranus sits at 27ยฐ20' Capricorn, retrograde, in the 9th house. Neptune sits at 23ยฐ16' Capricorn, also retrograde, in the 8th house. The two are themselves conjunct, orb 4ยฐ04'.
Uranus and Neptune in vCapricorn are generational, shared by her whole age group: Uranus for a drive to reshape rigid institutions, Neptune for turning spiritual ideals into disciplined, workable systems. The library reads their conjunction as a powerful but unstable mix of imagination and anxiety, inspiring but at risk of disillusionment unless the dreaming gets made practical. The library makes Uranus personal through the 9th house of higher learning and belief: retrograde, it turns rebellion inward, and it specifically notes that formal education tends to run into interruptions while distance learning or self-teaching fits better. Neptune, retrograde in the 8th house of shared resources, asks for real transparency in contracts and joint finances, since confusion here tends to come from within rather than from anyone else.
Her schooling moved between countries, from London to Pristina at thirteen and back to London alone at fifteen, and she finished her A-Levels there before choosing music over university, teaching herself the industry instead through modeling and posting covers online.
Saturn in Pisces, retrograde, in the 11th house
Saturn sits at 23ยฐ04' cPisces, retrograde, in the 11th house, the house of friendship and community.
The library's Pisces Saturn struggles with purely material success and grows through learning to face reality rather than escape into imagination, with artistic expression as the outlet that turns sensitivity into something tangible. Retrograde in the 11th house, it describes someone who values a few deep, long friendships over a wide circle, who is cautious about joining groups and only commits once the fit feels right, and whose closest ties often carry real weight, mentors or older friends who shape the path rather than passing acquaintances.
She has spoken about keeping a small, trusted circle despite a famously public career, and in 2022 launched Service95, a newsletter and media platform built around a curated community of writers and readers rather than mass reach.
What the chart adds up to
The chart doesn't explain a hit single, and it can't account for stage presence. What it shows is where the weight sits: the Sun and Venus locked together in Leo's house of home and heritage, a Cancer Moon that ties emotional safety to money, and a crowded 5th and 6th house that point straight at creative work and its daily grind. Saturn in the 11th, slow and selective, explains a public figure who still keeps her closest circle small.
