Jay-Z has a dual nature. Two tendencies dwell within his psyche: one is related to his instincts and endows him with supreme strength and intense material desires, and the other flows from a higher psychic authority, the superego or human ideal, and inspires him with a precise awareness of his purpose and dignity as a human being among his fellows. The distinctiveness, if not the opposition, between these two tendencies is likely to trouble his quest for inner harmony at times.

However, the difficulty Jay-Z must overcome is not limited to a conflict between these two natures. Instead, he must choose which direction the energy generated by the contradiction will take. In other words, in more practical terms, if he identifies with the power residing in society and the complex interactions of human beings, he can find one goal, one direction in which the power can lead. The positive side of this nature is the cohesive and all-encompassing understanding he derives from it. In daily life, he could be a resourceful and valuable organizer, designer, leader, or legislator. In fact, he has the native skills necessary for managing and leading a team of co-workers. The coherence of his thought is apt to enable him to budget and organize human energies for maximum profit and minimum loss. Overlooking from the outset trivial details and a tendency to be unable to see the forest for the trees, he can implement global, methodical systems and structures to solve problems.

On another level, Jay-Z has a nature profoundly attached to morality and ethics. He conceives of ethics as a practical system for human relations, not an idealistic and unattainable dream. Indeed, it should be noted that it is inexact to call him an idealist. If he seeks an ideal, it is based on what already exists, by organizing it and putting it into practice, by seeing it operate smoothly and efficiently. His originality comes from the fact that he always strives to go beyond common sense in search of a new perspective, which would enrich the spirit and transform values.

All of these skills and resources predispose Jay-Z to devote himself to society. In the process, however, he is likely to overdo it to such a degree that his own personality is overshadowed. That is, he would identify too heavily with his social mask (his persona) and lose awareness of his individuality.

Jay-Z yearns for a purpose in life, even faraway or abstract.

Jay-Z derives great rewards from every source of pleasure or creation (physical, artistic, or emotional). Jay-Z has a penchant for speculation.

At the time of Jay-Z’s birth, his rising sign was located in Leo (the Lion), while the sun was passing through the sign of Sagittarius (the Archer). Both are ruled by the same element, Fire, which augurs a certain cohesiveness for his character. A summary of the various clues mentioned above provide his personality profile. The following key words capture the essence of his character and indicate certain contradictions which may be sources of tension:

Impetuosity – Determination – Enthusiasm – Pride and self-assurance – Group spirit – Superiority – Impressionability – Brilliance – Analytical mind – Generosity – Worldliness – Positivism – Projection.

Jay-Z’s energetic, generous personality, and contagious optimism make him an engaging and pleasant person to know. Combined with his emotionalism, his dynamism gives him a great deal of originality and style.

He may devote a great deal of his powers to obtaining even more admiration (magnificent promises, authority, etc.). Because of his outspoken, straightforward ways, a tendency to make generalizations, and a taste for flattery, he will do well to avoid making mistakes in judgment or evaluation.

Born in the seven to ten days after the full moon rose, Jay-Z is of the “last quarter” lunar type. As a result, his personality is fairly independent and self-sufficient. His ideas are original and often bold, but, to his dismay, do not often garner a majority of followers.

His sense of humor is his best communications tool, but he often switch to a more severe tone which breaks his charm over his audience, and his methods do not always please the masses.

His lack of flexibility hinders his strategies and projects, and he would gain by developing his sense of diplomacy and tact. Although he is not unduly attached to success, because he is so used to being ahead of his time, his failures take a psychological toll on him. Because each setback wears him down a little more, he should try to avoid further disappointments by conforming to contemporary reality a little more closely.

Jay-Z’s sun is located at 12° SAGITTARIUS. Jay-Z’s drive for psycho-sexual fulfillment would best be aroused by a person whose Moon is at 6/18° SAGITTARIUS or GEMINI.

This relationship could yield a high degree of psychological compatibility and powerful mutual attraction. The physical and psychological reality of Jay-Z’s personality will exert a magnetic pull over the sensitivity, receptivity, tenderness, and other key qualities of his partner.

Jay-Z’s moon is located at 15° LIBRA. Jay-Z’s ideal match is a partner with the sun at 9/21° LIBRA or ARIES.

Jay-Z would be particularly well-matched to someone who mirrors his underlying psychic and unconscious aspirations. The secret ideal he cherishes of the perfect partner would be aroused; it would harmonize beautifully with his ideal imaginary lover. This great psychic compatibility is the result of a harmonious relationship between the Moon of the masculine chart and the sun of the feminine one. It is propitious to a rich flow of energies between the most hidden and secret parts of both people. They are linked by an unconscious emotional bond.

Jay-Z’s Venus is located at 0° SAGITTARIUS. Jay-Z’s ideal match is a partner with Mars at 0/10° SAGITTARIUS or GEMINI.

This type of partner would complement Jay-Z perfectly in emotional and sentimental terms. This person would reflect and fulfill Jay-Z’s ideal of sensuality to the greatest degree. Moreover, Jay-Z’s ideal partner would resonate lastingly with Jay-Z’s own psychic projections of Jay-Z’s ideal. This positive relationship between the unconscious sexual yearnings of both partners would be likely to yield sensual relations of a tantalizingly mysterious and secret nature.

Jay-Z is idealistic in his romantic aspirations. He has high standards. As a result, he will not settle down immediately. However, once he finds the partner of his dreams, he is loyal, frank, and generous with himself. He would be especially likely to choose this type of mate. They are also frank and direct and have strong idealistic aspirations and a marked taste for intellectual speculation and philosophy. Their firm sense of ethics does not rule out pleasure or fun. Fit and athletic, they will also enjoy the social whirl and will have high social ambitions.

Jay-Z’s Planet Mars is located at 22° AQUARIUS. His ideal match is a partner with Venus at 16/28° AQUARIUS or LEO.
