At this point, Elon Musk's wealth, estimated at USD 316 billion, surpasses that of Warren Buffett and Bill Gates combined. Tesla's stock has risen two-and-a-half times from its low this year. Musk's influence has also extended into government following his support for Donald Trump, who swept the U.S. elections. Calling this a successful year for Musk would be an understatement. I predicted much of this in January 2024 on Twitter. Musk, a genius and an acquired taste, often faces resistance due to his radical ideas. History has shown that revolutionary changes are rarely embraced without opposition. His right-leaning political views have also drawn criticism from the predominantly left-liberal media.
Much like the late Steve Jobs, Elon Musk has profoundly influenced multiple industries with his visionary approach. In Musk’s case, these include electric vehicles, space exploration, internet connectivity, robotics, and even politics. With an extraordinarily powerful horoscope, Musk is on track to becoming a trillionaire by 2030 - and possibly the first in history. Let’s explore Musk’s journey so far and the road ahead from an astrological perspective, using a blend of Vedic and Western astrology.
Musk's ascendant sign, Gemini, ruled by Mercury, profoundly shapes his personality and talents. In his natal chart, Mercury governs the 9th and 12th houses, representing long-distance travel, higher learning, and exploration. Positioned in Gemini, Mercury amplifies Musk's intellectual curiosity, adaptability, and innovative instincts. These traits align with Musk's voracious reading habits and his capacity to absorb and synthesize vast amounts of information.
In SpaceX's early days, when experts were skeptical, Musk’s Mercurial strengths came to light. He frequented the Palo Alto public library to study rocket engineering and reached out to experts to borrow old engine manuals. Immersing himself in technical literature, he rapidly mastered complex rocketry concepts, earning the respect of seasoned engineers. This relentless self-education underscores Mercury's influence in his astrological chart, enabling him to spearhead revolutionary advancements in space exploration.
Space Exploration Technologies (SpaceX) was founded on 14 March 2002, during Musk’s Moon dasha and Mercury bhukti. The concept for SpaceX was conceived during Labor Day Weekend in 2001, also in Mercury bhukti, when Musk discussed the idea with his friend Adeo Ressi. Around this time, Musk became a US citizen, and the sale of his PayPal stake netted him USD 250 million, providing the seed capital for his ambitious ventures.
SpaceX reached its first major milestone in 2008 when Falcon 1 became the first privately funded rocket to achieve orbit. This groundbreaking achievement occurred during Musk's Mars dasha and Mercury bhukti. Meanwhile, Tesla, initially undervalued and met with skepticism, began to gain significant traction during the Mercury bhukti of Musk's Rahu dasha, starting in 2020.
In May 2020, SpaceX launched astronauts to the International Space Station, marking a historic moment as the first privately funded crewed mission. This was followed by an impressive series of eleven successful unmanned satellite launches within just five months. During this transformative period, Tesla's stock experienced a meteoric 14-fold rise, peaking at an all-time high in November 2021. Simultaneously, Musk made his high-profile bid to acquire Twitter, further cementing his influence across diverse industries.
Musk’s fifth house, ruled by Mars, and his tenth house, governed by Venus and Mars, underscore his exceptional career trajectory. Mars, exalted in Capricorn, signifies his remarkable achievements in engineering and innovation, while Venus represents beauty, automobiles, and creativity. These placements align seamlessly with Musk’s leadership at Tesla and SpaceX. Mars in Capricorn, a cardinal and movable sign, reflects Musk’s focus on dynamic and groundbreaking industries like aerospace and electric vehicles, rather than static fields like industrial machinery.
Musk’s creativity, deeply influenced by the fifth house and the combined energy of Mars and Venus, is a defining feature of his endeavours. His innovative approach to product manufacturing, design, strategy, and marketing highlights his exceptional creative instincts. The fifth house’s association with gambling is evident in Musk’s fearless decision-making style, characterized by high-risk, high- reward ventures that few would dare to undertake.
Mars and Venus, both connected to the fifth and seventh houses, also influence Musk’s personal life. Fathering 12 children with three women, he exemplifies the interplay of these planets in relationships and progeny, further reflecting the dynamic and expansive nature of his horoscope.
Musk’s second, seventh and tenth cusps—representing wealth, relationships, and career—are ruled by fiery signs: Leo, Sagittarius, and Aries. Fire signs symbolize flamboyance, passion, and high-profile endeavors, qualities that are prominently reflected in Musk’s immense wealth, dynamic personal life, and relentless work ethic. Aries, a movable sign, also reflects Musk’s extraordinary speed, ambition, and drive to accomplish what others often consider impossible. Known for his maniacal urgency, Musk pushes his teams to achieve goals that even they initially thought unattainable. As Walter Isaacson notes in his biography, Musk believes that life cannot simply be about solving problems—it must also be about pursuing grand dreams.
Currently, in his Rahu dasha (2012–2030) and Venus bhukti, Elon Musk is undergoing a transformative phase that aligns perfectly with his groundbreaking endeavours. During the Rahu bhukti, Tesla introduced the Model S, the first electric car to top monthly new car sales in any country, establishing Tesla as a leader in sustainable transportation. SpaceX is now preparing to launch a tender offer by December, valuing the company at $250 billion. This initiative is expected to proceed smoothly.
The year 2025 will begin on a strong note, with significant developments likely. By January’s end, Musk may acquire a major asset, launch a new venture, or expand an existing one, leaving people awestruck. February could introduce a new revenue stream, further bolstering his financial prospects. Between February and March, Musk may take on additional responsibilities in his career, potentially linked to his companies and his involvement in government.
April 2025 stands out as a pivotal month, with major investment plans and expansions coming to fruition, driving substantial revenues from business operations and asset sales. This momentum is expected to continue through August, marked by further expansions, increased valuations of Musk's holdings, and significant breakthroughs. While August may present global challenges, it could also serve as a turning point for Musk, solidifying his influence and success. As he continues his ascent, the world will witness the ongoing rise of this maverick entrepreneur.
