M.I.A. is a British recording artist, producer and visual artist known for her genre-defying albums Arular and Kala and the international hit single "Paper Planes." Her work—spanning music, film and visual art and chronicled in the documentary Matangi/Maya/M.I.A.—has earned critical acclaim and significant influence for its political themes and innovative fusion of electronic, hip-hop and world music.

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

Sun in Cancer
Degree: 25°
M.I.A. has a borderline psychic intuition and a natural ability to make others feel at home. Deeply loyal to family and close friends, she possesses a quiet charm that draws people in, but when her mood shifts, she can retreat inward and become hard to reach. She's tough to manipulate and has a nose for dishonesty, which serves her well when she channels it alongside her creative instincts.
Moon in Scorpio*
Degree: 28°
M.I.A. 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.

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.

Sun Trine North Node

Sun Square Jupiter
Orb: 1.7°
M.I.A. thinks big — sometimes too big. There's a restless desire to grow and expand that can lead to overextending herself or making promises she can't keep, but this same energy is what drives her to live a life that feels meaningful and larger than ordinary.
Sun Square Uranus
Orb: 3.2°
M.I.A. craves freedom and individuality, but it can feel like the world keeps asking her to conform. There's a rebellious streak in her that periodically upends her own life — but these disruptions are actually pushing her toward a more authentic version of herself.
Mercury Square Pluto
Orb: 3.4°
M.I.A.'s thinking has an obsessive, probing quality — once she latches onto something, she won't rest until she's uncovered every layer. This intensity can sometimes make conversations feel like interrogations, but when she channels it constructively, her ability to uncover truth and speak with transformative power is unmatched.
Venus Square Neptune
Orb: 3.4°
M.I.A. has a deeply romantic heart, but sometimes her idealism can cloud her judgment in love. She may be drawn to people who need saving or situations that look better in her imagination than in reality. Channeling this sensitivity into art or spiritual practice can be incredibly fulfilling.
