Scorpio Highlight: Björk, a triple Scorpio

In a 1995 interview with Björk published in Interview Magazine, Jon Savage tells Björk, “Scorpio is all about life, death, and sex,” to which she responds, “That makes perfect sense. Those are three of my obsessions.”

. . .

In that same interview, Björk says, “I have to recreate the universe every morning when I wake up. And kill it in the evening, which is a bit outrageous, but there you go.”

In 1997, she writes the song Pluto.

“Excuse me.

But I have to explode this body

Off me

I’ll be brand new

Brand new tomorrow

A little bit tired

But brand new.”

Scorpio is about destruction and recreation — and all aspects of life we often avoid looking too closely. What is taboo often gives us the strength to transform in the end.

Having her “big three” all in Scorpio and her Mercury in Sagittarius, Björk is about all but simplicity, with intense and extreme emotions and a mind designed for deep thinking over quick, superficial answers (often associated with Mercury in Gemini.) It’s hard finding any interviews of her that are about the daily plainness of life, yet they are broader, philosophical, and complex, where her abstract thinking Mercury in Sagittarius shines.

With the harmonious aspect between her Scorpio Moon in the twelfth house and Jupiter, she finds the emotional catharsis to confront her innermost and darkest emotions courageously. Björk owns it all, and she is not afraid to go all the way in. (Mars sextile the Scorpio moon). “Don’t remove my pain. It is my chance to heal.” she says in Notget.

Björk’s music, while often involving Scorpionic (dark and spooky) lyrics, is also innovative and experimental. It is undeniably eccentric and “Björk-like. The tight conjunction of Uranus with her Midheaven, influencing her professional path, social standing, and public persona, is credited with providing her the creative freedom to be experimental in everything she does.

“I live by the ocean

And during the night

I dive into it

Down to the bottom

Underneath all currents

And drop my anchor

As this is where I’m staying

This is my home.”

Neptune, the planet most astrologers associate with the ocean, is in her first house of identity. Neptune is infinity but also fluidity and dreaminess. Art is not only what she does but also what she is. Neptune explains the way Björk embodies art.

In a 1988 interview in which she explains how television operates, she says, “It’s about time.” and opens inside the TV. She points at the wires, “This looks like a city,” and says, “And all the houses, which are here, and streets. This may be an elevator.”

She says once, an Icelandic poet told her that TVs were made of “millions and millions of little screens.” and that our brains were too busy putting all the pictures together, and we stopped judging what was right or wrong. This made her scared and gave her headaches.

After reading a Danish book on TVs, she learned the scientific truth and was not scared of the TVs anymore.

She ends the video,

“You shouldn’t let poets lie to you.”

Björk, a Scorpio stellium, glows in the dark and incarnates art.
