Uchiha Madara's birth chart : Headcanon

The Good, the Bad, and The Ugly

illustration by @sableraven with kind permission and such a great talent I invite you to follow !

I'm so excited for this post ! It was actually the reason number one why I started this tumblr. What if we had Madara birth chart ? I know that many of you are not familiar with astrology vocabulary so I'm trying to do it as simple as possible. If you have more questions please ask them in comments and I encourage you to do your own researches as well.

So what is a birth chart in astrology? First let's agree that sun's radiation impact your skins tone, your mood, your sleep's cycle. Moon's cycles rise oceans, tremendous mass of water, and it's a bit naive to thing it does not affect little mammal like humans made up of 70% of water and other fluids. The same goes on with all planets of our solar system.

However people are not determinate solely by nature. It's like a DNA, two twins got the same hand of cards at birth but since they are two different souls, they play in two different way. But still people with the same cards tend to have similar strategy in life.

In daily life, when people refer to their signs they actually talking about their Sun sign. While to have a more accurate understanding of a person you need to know where are place the 10 planets, plus moon and sun, asteroids, and other mathematical points ( liliths, north node ect). Then, a birth chart is a simplified photography of the sky at the time of your birth. So sometimes you will heard someone saying : I'm not at all a Virgo, but when you analyse their whole chart, you realize that they have all their planets in Aries for example, putting more dynamic energy into the modest earth sign.

This being said I invent Madara's chart out of fun, based on how I interpret his whole behaviour in Naruto. And I will be more than happy to read your own version of him👀, don't be shy. The only canon fact is his birth chart 24th of December.

In this part I will talk about the personal planets : Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturne and Ascendant.

I may do a second part later if really you are interested on generational planets Uranus, Neptune, Pluto : but it will be more about talk about the Founders era than just Madara. I don't know...let me know in comments what you want.

Disclaimers closed. Let's have a close look at our Devilish Mass Murder King👹

⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️

I was supposed to do it in Photoshop... but gosh nothing more quicker than old school paper and protractor 🥲

☉ Sun : Ego – Branding to the world

♑ Capricorn

Capricorn is the classic OP villain. Just read the description : rigorous, cold, unbothered, disciplined, strategic. Without much effort, everybody recognize him on surface level. I won't go too deep since I have already dig into details in my ask : Madara as an Archetype of Capricorn

Ascendant/Rising Sign : Social personality – Physical Body

♑Capricorn

We talk about the ascendant as the constellation sign who was ascending (or rising) on the eastern horizon at the time of birth.

Now let's go straight into my headcanon. Contrary to sun where you have to put some will, Ascendant or as well called rising sign are something that you mastered already, it's who you are effortlessly. It has an impact to your physical appearance, health and how socially you naturally behave. In this case, I just compare him to other Capricorns present in the manga : Gaara, Hinata, Danzo, Gai (yes surprisingly!) Contrary to them, Madara embodies physically the toughness of Capricorn who have been thought hell to be who he is. You can read in his body, the wildness of his character. He is not the taller or the bigger muscle but you know by his physical posture that man is unstoppable. Even death is not an obstacle.

A nice opposite to what I just said for example is Kabuto (sun Piscse) maybe ascendant gemini ? even if we know that he is a brilliant villain and gave us the best twist plot...well I'm not scared or fascinated by Kabuto chara design. And that's Pisces' force they look inoffensive so nobody saw them coming... but Pisces is story for an other time !

In Madara it's not the case, what he is, is what you get. In his demeanour you can tell he means what he said, if you don't move from his path he will walk over you, manu militari. And the Capricorn is represent by the G.O.A.T. ( Greatest Of All Time) right ? Definitely yes, that's our man.

☾Moon : Emotion – Comfort zone

♋Cancer

Moon by nature is receptive. In astronomy, we know that this satellite of Earth shines by reflecting the sun's light. Moon is about intuition and creativity. A creative acts like a pregnant woman, who receives inspiration from outside, keeps it inside to gestate it and then delivered something else brand new to the world. Moon in western astrology is as well strongly attached to the Woman and the Mother. Woman's cycle and the Moon phase are strangely similar : 28 days divided in 4 part : new moon, moon waxing, full moon, moon waning. Cancer's archetype is the Mother. Not saying all mothers are like this but it's an ideal. The caring one, the unconditional love, the protector, the nurturer, the receiver. This being said Moon is at its strongest in Cancer.

In Naruto univers, the moon is more flagrant in the childhood. Children are more in touch with their emotions, when they grow up their ego (sun) takes over place and you need to be in their intimacy to witness their moon.

Madara's moon is both a challenge and a subversive task. Because he is probably one of the character who hide it the most. It's really hard to reach his intimate thought, or emotion self. And majority of naruto fandom think he doesn't have any, which is rigorously impossible. For a long time I hesitated between leo and cancer, both had solid argument but my final choice was cancer.

Remember I said in my previous post is Madara our Lord and Saviour ? And as well Today is Winter Solstice , Capricorn is associated with darkest part of the year. In contrary Cancer starts with Summer solstice where light prevailed on darkness, isn't it a nice opposition to have a character with very scary outer appearance, but internally moved by the softest heart ?

Hashirama again and again repeated that Madara is kind, more loving that Itachi to Sasuke. And we all shed generous tears for Itachi so how is that even possible to conceive a love stronger that a brother who sacrifice his clan and his own reputation for it ? Everything about Madara's moon is off screen but isn't moon's nature to hide from others ? and for us readers, it's hard to admit his softer side because we were exposed to him in his most wounded version. In Hashirama's memories we just saw a glimpse of it. A moody child but also attentive to Hashirama's sorrow, a kid that back then he barely knows. Still two things kept my attention : the protective almost motherly love towards Izuna (he gave up his army to the ennemy for him, a mistake for a military leader). And his attachment though time for Hashirama's friendship even if all events wants them to hate each other. Cancer never let it go, it clings desperately to the past. Have you ever tried to loosen crab pincers ? You can't. Unless they want it, it's impossible and they hold to you till death and beyond.

But Crab/Cancer not only hold but they pinch HARD ! We generally have this naive image of cancer, desperately romantic and crybaby which they are to some extend. But cancer in their worst side can be the most terrible manipulator. They will hate you with the same intensity they loved you once unconditionally. They play with your emotional weakness ( Obito). Worst idea to have them as swear enemy. Dark Cancer is the definition of a troll. They hate you so much, but they are more loyal to your page than you own partner, they won't let you go and they are obsessive and irrational in their Vendetta against you. Madara has this ambivalent relationship towards Hashirama, he pretends to hate him but can't stop talking about him every goddamn time.

Wounded Cancers close themselves from the world, and Madara betrayed by all, is known for having spending 50 years in a cave, (allegory of a womb ?), healing his pains, awaiting to reborn again, before coming back stronger than ever. I think it was important in his character's development that he messed up Obito and killed Sasuke. It was really to show how much he renounced his protective nature towards Uchihas, he sacrificed all he was for his dream.

I witnessed real life Cancers who loose their child. It was a long and painful destructive life for themselves and people around them. And it ends up inside three coffins... Cancer's power is not just a concept floating somewhere. Give them a pinch of love they will give you back without moderation, give them a pinch of hate they will unleash Horror and Hell. So please for world's peace, don't break Cancers' heart❤️. By the way, we have a theory with @blessingoflove that Uchiha clan as a whole seems to be a cancer clan. But again story for an other time 😉.

♂ Mars : Action - Desire

♌ Leo

Mars, the red planet, represents, the archetypal Male or Yang energy : Outgoing, confident, dominant, violence, action, desire, bravery, passion, Sexe.

I've always being intrigued by mars' energy, it's all about survivor instinct, life drive, desire for expansion but as well about destruction and death in order to self preservation. This contradiction is a mysterious to me, but that's where resides its attractive appealing.

Since mars is already the planet of war. Naruto's storyline happened during wars. The Shinobi world is a military system. So to simplify, I see mars energy in character's style of fighting. Are their strong defender (earth) ? Tactician(air), intuitive (water), offensive (fire) fighter. And as well since Mars is about war and..hum...sexe...well you know what it's worth under the sheets...

Madara is Mars in Leo, there is no debate in my mind. When he fights he needs to shine, takes all the spotlights to the extend of outshining the main character. Leo is ruled by sun but Mars prospers in the creative sign of Leo. It's the Sun King, the attention-seeker, the love for drama specially if it revolved around himself. Can we have a moment of silence for Obito's plan of world war ? Madara never planned to start the 4th Shinobi war but when he saw this BIG STAGE offered to him he thought : Why not show them how amazing I am, and left them with PTSD memories they will carry to their grandchildren ? Don't invite him to your birthday he will make it about him somehow.

Leo is as well a love for praising, and our sneaky Kabuto (again) feel it immediately with his :

KABUTO : please Madara-sama, show us how big are your legendary b***

MADARA : Say no more.

Sometimes image talks more than words :

- dramatic entrances, from the moment he crushed his coffin, until he interrupted Obito and Naruto. Couldn't he just walk into the fight like everyone else ? Clearly no.

Flexing muscles for absolutely zero reasons related to Tsukuyomi plan because... hum, why not?

don't you see Mars in Leo now?🥲

Lion King vibes😂

♃ Jupiter : Infinite Expansion – House of wisdom

♌ Leo

Known as the biggest planet of solar system, eleven time bigger that earth. Its massive gravitational mass coupled with its intense magnetic field attract other celestial bodies to itself. Jupiter is associated in astrology with magnificence, excess, spiritual teacher, higher knowledges, wisdom, road of honours .

Jupiter expands generously everything it touches. Since Madara is first notoriously known as a God of War. I thought it suits him to put more emphases on his extraordinary Leo's energy.

Jupiter and Mars in Leo empowered the expression of self in battlefield. When two planets are close to each other, it's called a conjunction. the closer the conjunction the stronger both planets mix their energy together.

That's how from the King of attention, Mars conjunct Jupiter makes him the new Sage of 6 Paths an overpowered and megalomaniac Guru. Intense desire to be admired and feared. But as well having a childish fun sparring with powerful shinobis.

☿ Mercure : Intellect – Communication

♑ Capricorn

Retrograde

Mercury is about your way to analyse information, explain it. It's factual and fast processing.

To be honest with you I wanted to put mercury in aquarius. But I respect Kishimoto canon Madara is born 24th of december so in the first degree of capricorn, plus mercury never goes further than 25 degrees away from the sun. My choice was then between Capricorn or Sagittarius.

Wake up to reality? hmm...

Mercury in Capricorn seems the most logical way with the choice I got. Madara is taciturn most of the time, He thinks rationally, organises carefuly his next move. His speech is quite dry, efficient without frills. His thoughts had matured for ages like an old wine, in some brilliant moment, it make any of his talk deep and thoughtful. When he deigns share it, they have a lot of multidimensional undertones, his ascetic life gave him a desperate philosophy of life who is not wrong per say but unbalanced. Life is both shadow and light, but at this moment of his existence, he can only perceive the fatalist side.

I add a mercury retrograde which further the introspective aspect and can be a comic relief in him. Madara is often misunderstood, in his intention, and even in his linguistic skills. He got as well an archaic way of speaking.

♀ Venus : Attraction – Seduction

♒Aquarius

If Moon was the woman in her Motherly side, Venus is the Woman as the Seductress, the idealistic embodiment of Beauty. Goddess of Love. It's as well the lust, a magnetic and carnal desire for pleasure who can be out of control.

It's difficult to grasp what Madara is attracted to since he never showed any romantic attraction to anyone. So I'm going to hold on two things : His desire to achieve his dream and his friendship to Hashirama.

In both, I see in common an attraction to utopia. His crazy desire to reach for the moon and obtain a unified perfect world without darkness, It sounds noble conceptually. In a same manner, what attracts him to befriend Hashirama was the same dream he thought they shared. For him to feel connected to someone else, they need to share a common vision. And in a way that's Venus in Aquarius. More attached to the concept of universal happiness. It's something very abstracted and philosophical. But in in the dark side, Aquarius is also known for his God's complex .

Madara's only hobbies knows from databook is falconry. Does he imagine some kind of freedom in the bird of prey's flight ? Something gliding high above humankind ?

« I want peace, but I also want war » can be his motto. A dream of idealistic Peace for all (Venus in Aquarius) but with the egocentric action of a tyrant (Mars/Jupiter in Leo). And I think that's sum up beautifully Madara's paradox.

when you got a great idea but it backfired😬

♄ Saturne : Restriction – Time - Enlightenment

♐Sagittarius

Last planet that you can observe with a naked eye, associated with old age, last frontier before death. Saturn is also called the Great Maleficent, an energy usually fear but actually who gives healthy limits and teaches you resilience through hardships. When mastered Saturn is about deep mental refinement.

At first, the optimistic sign of Sagittarius and the dry Saturn seems to not being a good mix. Instead of a passionate adventurer, Saturn tone down its explosive side. Not taming it completely, but adding structure in its original wild nature. Here come the Judge, the dogmatic cleric using the fire of faith to dictate the rule. I saw this in Madara specially in his Rikudo phase when he is thrilled by his own immortality. but also in his old age while talking to Obito. He is the strict daddy teacher who doesn't let you having fun and reminds you how life is hard and how time is passing and you gonna die anyway...

Saturn accentuates conservatism in everything it touches. It puts limitations, difficulties and confronts you with your fears. In Madara's life Saturn is his limitation in his search of higher wisdom. He had been told that power can protect your family, it wasn't the case. Hashirama proposed him to collaborate to his vision of Peace, it ends up being a source of disappointment. He studied the old sources talking about shinobi's origin but find « despair » when he realised everything was the same cycle of violence back from Kaguya's time. His belief's system is always challenged. In real life, people with this tendency ends up either strongly atheist or great spiritual master, no in-between.

After feeling reject from Konoha, his own clan, and ultimately betrayed by Hashirama, he died to the material world. Escaping in research of deep introversion is closely connected to Saturn. At its finest, Saturn is the Monk who finds a mystical experience within himself. Madara reached, in a way, a bitter illumination in the depths of earth.

And if you want to read more about my Madara’s analysis @kosmickash went deeper into analysing Madara's houses placement and Izuna's birthchart based on this headcanon. Enjoy
