Joanna Newsom has a relentless drive to be the best at whatever she does, and she's willing to put in the work to get there. Classy and reserved in public, she doesn't give much away, but for the people who've earned her loyalty, she'll show her heart of gold. Her ambition can tip into tunnel vision, and when she feels unappreciated, her mood can dampen the room.
Moon in Scorpio

Joanna Newsom tries to keep her emotions under wraps, but her intuition is razor-sharp — she sees right through people. She doesn’t scare easily and will pursue the truth even if it stings, though that bluntness can hurt others along the way. Once she truly trusts someone, her loyalty and protectiveness run incredibly deep, and betrayal is the one thing she won’t forgive.
