Clarisse's analysis
Biggie is the smoothest flow in rap history, two classic albums and a legend that never went out. His birth time comes from a direct testimony, and his chart is as brilliant as it is tragic.
Sun and Saturn in Gemini in the 4th house: the Brooklyn storyteller
His Sun is in Gemini, with Saturn, in the 4th house of roots, home and mother. Gemini is a genius for words and storytelling. Biggie told Brooklyn like nobody else, with an incredible eye for detail. Saturn here is a childhood marked by responsibility and lack, and a very strong bond with his mother, Voletta, who raised him alone.
Pisces rising: softness under the giant
Pisces rising is sensitivity, tender humor, a kind of vulnerability. Behind his imposing image, Biggie was known for his gentleness and disarming charisma. Pisces is also fluidity: his flow seemed to pour out effortlessly.
Moon and Pluto in Virgo in the 7th house: intense love
His Moon is in Virgo, with Pluto, in the 7th house of relationships. Intense, passionate, complicated relationships with a lot of jealousy. His love life, between his wife Faith Evans and Lil' Kim, was the talk of the era.
Venus and Mars in Cancer in the 5th house: the romantic
Venus and Mars in Cancer, in the 5th house of seduction, creativity and children. A true romantic and a father attached to his kids. It's also what made his seduction lyrics so warm.
Jupiter and North Node in Capricorn in the 11th house: the crew and the ambition
Jupiter and his North Node are in Capricorn, in the 11th house of friends and networks. His life mission ran through the collective: Bad Boy Records, Junior M.A.F.I.A., his Brooklyn crew. He wanted to make it with his people.
Neptune in Sagittarius in the 10th house: the legend
Neptune in the house of reputation is a public image that becomes a myth. Biggie was killed in 1997, at 24, and the crime was never solved. Since then, his legend has only grown. Neptune turns men into icons.
The bottom line
A Gemini wordsmith, a tender Pisces soul, and a Neptune legend still shining long after he's gone.
