Bjork, the Icelandic singer, songwriter, composer, record producer, and actress, noted for her distinct voice, three-octave vocal range, and avant-garde style has a sound installation at the Centre Pompidou in Paris called “Nature Manifesto,” as part of a forum on biodiversity. She has been campaigning against industrial salmon farming, talks about being a guardian of Iceland’s wilderness and how young people will make real change.
“after plagues and pandemics
there will be new modes of existence
of weaving our bodies into relations with our surroundings
of decomposing our old ways of life.”
She was born 21 November 1965 7.50 am Reykavik, started singing professionally when she was 11 and has always been an activist with a talent for protest not only in music but also in environmental issues.
Unsurprisingly she has the revolutionary, rebellious, status-quo-upending Uranus Pluto conjunct in Virgo exactly conjunct her Midheaven square Mercury in communicative Sagittarius. Her determined Scorpio Sun in her 1st house is conjunct an idealistic and musical Neptune. A passionately enthusiastic Venus Mars in Capricorn in her 3rd house and her Jupiter in her 9th all point to a need to get her message across.
It’ll be interesting to see what happens when her pushing-back-boundaries Uranus Pluto moves by Solar Arc to conjunct her Neptune in late 2025/26 – since it brings together her need for transformation together with her compassion. It may be confusing and unnerving in other ways but could see her spearhead change.
Her creative 5th harmonic is strong; as is her leaving-a-legacy-for-history and her global-influencer 22H.
Here’s a re-posting of Bjork’s chart with STAGE pattern as the first post
wouldn’t open.

Thank you Marjorie for this. I think a lot of us born in the sixties with that Uranus Pluto conjunct in Virgo and Neptune in Scorpio are feeling the need to create change/transformation, alongside a general awakening to our interconnectedness with everything. It all feels so chaotic at present, yet for any major change to happen that’s precisely what’s needed. The article above with Bjork and Robin Wall Kimmerer is wonderful – thank you Natomiso for posting. We need to inspire more to connect with nature for their own wellbeing and to realise our intimate connection. This would do far more good than the endless climate change talks which often fall on deaf ears.
Another Scorpio Moon! Thank you Marjorie.
Isn’t she married to artist Matthew Barney?
Bjork’s chart features a STAGE rectangle, with corners Venus, and Neptune,
ruling singing and music. Another corner has Uranus, ruling groups, band.
Her STAGE empties into the 7th of public projection, audience.
With theatrical connotions, the STAGE is a base from which she can
perform, and is the platform from which she can learn, understand and
connect with other people.

Thank you Marjorie.
She is one of a kind.
Highly recommend listening to or reading the transcript of her conversation with Robin Was Kimmerer. Kindred Spirits.
