Mary Hopkin is a Welsh singer whose 1968 international hit "Those Were the Days," produced by Paul McCartney and released on Apple Records, launched a successful career. Her debut album Post Card and subsequent folk and pop recordings, plus television appearances, helped define late‑1960s British folk‑pop and influenced later singer-songwriters.

Your Core Signs shape your core self, while the Inner and Outer Planets shape your personal traits and collective influences.

Sun in Taurus
Degree: 12°
Loyal, patient, and grounded, Mary Hopkin has a calming presence that puts everyone at ease. She's naturally resourceful and knows how to manage what she has, but she's also deeply tied to her comforts and possessions — mess with either and the bull comes out. Once she sets her mind on something, she'll see it through to the end.
Moon in Sagittarius*
Degree: 0°
Mary Hopkin craves freedom and new experiences above all else, and her emotions reflect that: wild, optimistic, and hard to pin down. Her cheerful nature draws people back even after an impulsive outburst, but keeping the same routines or relationships can be a real challenge. Her fondest memories are probably of adventures and spontaneous moments, not quiet nights at home.

Aspects describe the angles between planets in your chart, highlighting where there is harmony or tension in your life. The orb degree determines how strongly an aspect will affect you, with smaller orbs indicating a stronger influence.

Love and emotional comfort come easily to Mary Hopkin. She has an innate sweetness and emotional grace that makes people feel cared for in her presence — her relationships, home, and creative life all benefit from this effortlessly nurturing energy.
Moon Trine North Node

Moon Opposition Mercury
Orb: 2.6°
Mary Hopkin can sometimes feel torn between logic and feeling, with her rational mind pulling her one way and her emotions pulling her another. Others often help her see where she's overthinking or under-feeling, and through these reflections she develops an exceptional ability to balance both.
Moon Square Jupiter
Orb: 2.9°
Mary Hopkin feels everything in a big way, and her emotional responses can sometimes be out of proportion to the situation. She may overindulge or overcommit when she's feeling generous — but this same expansiveness gives her an enormous capacity for joy, faith, and emotional resilience.
Sun Square Pluto
Orb: 3.3°
Power is a central theme in Mary Hopkin's life — learning to claim it, release it, and not let it consume her. She can be intensely willful and may have faced situations that forced deep transformation, but each time she emerges more self-aware and formidable than before.
Uranus Square North Node
Orb: 3.4°
Mary Hopkin's rebellious streak and need for freedom sometimes create chaos on her path. She might resist her own destiny just because it feels like an expectation, or shake things up right when stability would serve her. Learning when to be unconventional and when to stay the course is her growth edge.
Venus Square Uranus
Orb: 4.7°
Mary Hopkin craves both closeness and freedom, and these two needs can pull her in different directions. Relationships that feel too predictable lose their spark for her, but learning to find excitement within commitment — rather than outside of it — is where the real magic happens.
Venus Opposition Mars
Orb: 5.4°
Mary Hopkin is wired to experience the push and pull between wanting love and wanting conquest. Relationships can feel like a dance between tenderness and assertion, and finding a partner who can match her energy without clashing is key to making this dynamic work beautifully.
Mercury Square Jupiter
Orb: 5.5°
Mary Hopkin thinks in such big, expansive ways that it can sometimes be hard to focus on the details. There's a tension between wanting to see the grand picture and needing to stay grounded in practical reality, but working through this makes her someone who can dream big and still deliver.
