Rapper, singer, songwriter, and founding member of the Black Eyed Peas.
will.i.am's natal chart is anchored by a Pisces Sun — a compassionate, intuitive soul... someone who absorbs the emotions of the world around them and finds identity through imagination and empathy.
Beneath the surface, an Aries Moon speaks to what will.i.am needs emotionally... action and independence when emotions run high. This is the private self, the part that exists when the spotlight fades.
Their energy is channeled through innovation and collective causes... they fight for ideas, not just personal gain. With 4 retrograde planets in their natal chart, much of will.i.am's energy is directed inward... a rich inner world that fuels their outer expression. A concentration of planets in Aries gives will.i.am's chart a strong Aries emphasis... amplifying the themes of that sign throughout their life.

Chart Interpretations
Sun in PiscesHouse 10 (est.)
Pisces is a Mutable Water sign, and the Sun is in its fall here ... the solar impulse toward a distinct self in tension with Pisces' natural longing to dissolve boundaries and merge with something larger. Water makes your identity fluid and empathically permeable; Mutable modality keeps your sense of self shifting, responsive to the emotional atmosphere around you. You feel most alive through creative, spiritual, or compassionate expression. The essential challenge is developing enough of a distinct self to offer your considerable gifts from ... sensitivity without a clear center can mean absorbing others' realities rather than living your own.
Moon in AriesHouse 11 (est.)
Aries is a Cardinal Fire sign, and the Moon here processes emotion quickly, directly, and with an urgency that demands expression. Fire makes feelings eruptive and short-lived rather than brooding; Cardinal modality means your instinct is to act on what you feel rather than sit with it. You feel emotionally safe when you are in motion ... asserting yourself, protecting what matters, pursuing what you want. A concrete tendency is a short emotional fuse that recovers quickly: you flare, say what you feel, and genuinely move on, which can confuse those whose emotional pace is slower than yours.
Mercury in AquariusHouse 9 (est.)
Aquarius is a Fixed Air sign, and Mercury here thinks in systems, paradigms, and possibilities that often arrive ahead of their time. Air gives your mind a conceptual, forward-looking orientation; Fixed modality means your intellectual convictions are strong and not easily moved by social pressure or conventional consensus. You have a genuine talent for original thinking and for identifying the assumptions that everyone else accepts without examination. A concrete tendency is the intellectual position held too long: the same conviction that fuels your brilliance can harden into an unwillingness to revise ... and for a mind genuinely oriented toward truth, that is the most important form of intellectual courage to practice.
Venus in AriesHouse 11 (est.)
Aries is a Cardinal Fire sign, and Venus is in its detriment here ... the planet of harmony and gentle connection in the sign of bold, independent self-assertion. Fire makes attraction immediate and intensely physical; Cardinal modality means you pursue what you want directly and without extended deliberation. You fall quickly, pursue wholeheartedly, and bring a refreshing honesty to love that many people find magnetic. A concrete tendency is the difficulty sustaining interest once the thrill of the initial pursuit has passed ... your love nature thrives on spark, and learning to find the adventure within intimacy, rather than only in the approach, is the central relational work of this placement.
Mars in AquariusHouse 8 (est.)
Aquarius is a Fixed Air sign, and Mars here fights for ideas, for principles, and for the freedom of the collective rather than for narrow personal gain. Air channels your drive into intellectual and social domains; Fixed modality gives you the staying power to pursue a cause long after others have moved on. You are most energized by work that matters beyond yourself and by problems that require original thinking. A concrete tendency is the conviction held so firmly it becomes inflexible: this placement's idealism is genuine and its commitment admirable, but the Fixed Air quality can make your vision of how things should be as difficult to revise as the systems you are trying to change.
Jupiter in PiscesHouse 10 (est.)
Pisces is a Mutable Water sign, and Jupiter is in its traditional domicile here ... the planet of abundance in the sign of boundless compassion and spiritual depth. Water expands your capacity for empathy, intuition, and the experience of grace; Mutable modality keeps your growth fluid and responsive to the deeper currents of life. Your fortune flows most readily when you act from compassion rather than strategy. A concrete tendency is the dissolution of discernment: Jupiter amplifies Pisces' permeability, and the essential practice is maintaining enough clarity about where your energy flows to ensure that the generosity and openness of this placement nourishes rather than depletes.
Saturn in CancerHouse 1 (est.)
Cancer is a Cardinal Water sign, and Saturn is in its detriment here ... the planet of structure and emotional restraint in the sign of vulnerability, belonging, and emotional nourishment. This tension often manifests as early experiences in which emotional needs felt unsafe, too costly, or unwelcome. Water means the lessons are felt in the body and the psyche as much as in circumstance; Cardinal modality means they arrive at formative, initiating moments. A concrete tendency is a caregiving that withholds the self: this placement often invites someone who gives nurturing more easily than they receive it ... the essential work is learning that your own emotional needs are as legitimate as the ones you tend in others.
Uranus in ScorpioHouse 5 (est.)
℞Scorpio is a Fixed Water sign, and Uranus here (1975–1981) disrupts through sudden and irreversible transformation in power, sexuality, death, and the hidden structures beneath social life. Water makes Uranus's disruption psychologically penetrating and impossible to ignore once activated; Fixed modality means the changes are thorough and lasting when they finally come. Your generation grew up through the AIDS crisis, the restructuring of sexual norms, and major upheavals in global power. A concrete tendency is a deep familiarity with intensity and transformation as the natural rhythm of existence ... and an unusual ability to navigate crisis without being undone by it.
Neptune in SagittariusHouse 6 (est.)
℞Sagittarius is a Mutable Fire sign, and Neptune here (1970–1984) dissolves the boundaries around religion, philosophy, and the search for meaning across cultures. Fire makes Neptune's idealism expansive and drawn to the universal; Mutable modality keeps the dissolution wide-ranging and restlessly seeking. This generation is drawn to spiritual exploration across traditions and carries a genuine hunger for a truth that transcends any single faith. The shadow is spiritual bypassing ... the dilution of profound traditions into comfortable lifestyle choices, and a restlessness that mistakes perpetual seeking for having arrived at the wisdom it was looking for.
Pluto in LibraHouse 4 (est.)
℞Libra is a Cardinal Air sign, and Pluto here (1971–1984) brought profound transformation to partnership, justice, and the social contracts governing how people relate. Air makes Pluto's transformation relational and conceptual; Cardinal modality means the destruction and rebuilding arrive at points of commitment and formal agreement. This generation came of age witnessing the collapse of conventional marriage, the rise of identity politics, and a wholesale reconsideration of what equality actually requires. The shadow is a power struggle at the heart of love ... the intimate relationship as the primary arena in which questions of domination and freedom are played out rather than resolved.
North Node in SagittariusHouse 6 (est.)
℞Your North Node in Sagittarius calls you toward philosophical expansion, genuine faith in a larger meaning, and the willingness to trust the journey rather than requiring certainty about the destination. Sagittarius is a Mutable Fire sign ... the evolutionary direction here is toward adventure, synthesis, and the courage to commit to a worldview broad enough to live from. The corresponding South Node in Gemini suggests an ingrained ease with data, analysis, and the comfort of knowing many particular things without necessarily being asked to synthesize them into a coherent orientation. A concrete tendency from the South Node is perpetual research as an avoidance of conclusion. The medicine is the moment you stop gathering information and launch ... trusting that the accumulated understanding is enough to navigate from.
Chiron in AriesHouse 11 (est.)
Your Chiron in Aries places your core wound in the realm of identity, self-assertion, and the right to simply exist as yourself without apology. Aries is a Cardinal Fire sign ... the wound here lives at the point of initiation, in the moment of acting on your own behalf, beginning something, or asserting a need. You may carry a deep uncertainty about whether your desires are legitimate or whether it is safe to go first. A concrete tendency is self-suppression at the threshold of action ... the impulse and the hesitation arriving simultaneously, producing a paralysis that looks from the outside like caution but is actually a wound to the right of the self to be asserted. The gift, once tended, is an extraordinary capacity to help others claim their courage.
Ascendant (Rising) in Gemini(est.)
With Gemini rising, you come across as curious, quick-witted, and socially adaptable. People find you easy to talk to because you genuinely find everything interesting. Your energy is light and mentally agile... you read rooms fast and adjust your communication style without thinking about it.
Descendant in Sagittarius(est.)
With your Descendant in Sagittarius, you're drawn to partners who are adventurous, philosophical, and freedom-loving. You seek relationships that expand your worldview and give both people room to grow.
Midheaven in Pisces(est.)
With your Midheaven in Pisces, your career is guided by intuition, compassion, and creative imagination. You're drawn to work that serves a higher purpose or involves artistic expression. Your professional reputation grows through empathy and the ability to connect with people on a deeper level.
Imum Coeli in Virgo(est.)
With your IC in Virgo, your roots are shaped by order, routine, and practical care. Your home needs to function well for you to feel at peace. You recharge through organizing your environment and taking care of the details.
