SZA, born Solána Imani Rowe in St. Louis, is an American singer-songwriter. She signed with Top Dawg Entertainment in 2013 and released the EP Z in 2014. Her debut album Ctrl came out in 2017, and in 2018 "All the Stars", recorded with Kendrick Lamar, earned an Oscar nomination for Best Original Song. "Kiss Me More", with Doja Cat, won her first Grammy at the 2022 ceremony. SOS followed in December 2022 and Lana in December 2024.
Three tweets and a posted chart
The Astro-Databank collector Mary G. found that an astrologer on Twitter posted SZA's chart at her request, after Kehlani introduced them. It gives 12:17 p.m. on November 8, 1989. A 1990 birth, Mary G. notes, would put the Moon in Cancer or Leo, not Pisces.
Sy Scholfield adds her own tweets: "Scorpio sun widda Pisces moon" and "scorpio w a mercury in scorpio. Communications def wonky". A third puts Mars and Sun in Scorpio as well. They confirm 1989 and the signs, not the hour, which rests on the posted chart.

Rising sign, midheaven and Moon calculated by us, St. Louis, Missouri, Central Standard Time (UTC-6).
Mercury on top of Pluto, with the Sun beside them
Mercury at 15°06′ and Pluto at 15°10′ of Scorpio are 0°04′ from exact, and the Sun at 16°20′ lies within about a degree of both: 1°14′ from Mercury, 1°10′ from Pluto. The Sun entered the sign at 4:36 a.m. on October 23. Mercury with Pluto suggests a probing, concentrated way of thinking and speaking.
Mars is early in the sign, at 3°02′, and it sextiles Venus, 0°20′ off, and Uranus, 0°15′ off. Placidus puts the four Scorpio bodies in the 9th house, the house of travel, publishing and the far horizon. Whole Sign moves them to the 10th, which belongs to career and public standing.

A Pisces Moon trining Scorpio and Cancer
The Moon at 13°52′ of Pisces entered the sign at 12:25 p.m. on November 7 and leaves it at 3:08 p.m. on November 9. It trines Mercury, 1°14′ off, and Pluto, 1°17′ off. The trines to the Sun, 2°27′ wide, and to Jupiter in Cancer, 3°11′ wide, are looser. All four bodies are in water signs, so the Moon links to nearly the whole chart.
Pisces suggests a porous, imaginative nature tuned to atmosphere. The Moon sits in the 1st house by Placidus, beside the ascendant, and in the 2nd by Whole Sign. Among her ten planets, six are in water signs and four in earth signs, with none in fire or air.

Aquarius on the horizon, Scorpio overhead
Aquarius came over the St. Louis horizon at 12:07 p.m., and she was born 10 minutes into it. Pisces follows at 1:35 p.m. The ascendant, 3°17′ Aquarius, is how a person first meets others, and Aquarius there suggests someone detached, original and a little apart.
The midheaven is 24°20′ Scorpio, held from 10:42 a.m. until Sagittarius arrives at 12:41 p.m. Aquarius and Scorpio are both fixed signs, so the two most visible points of the chart share a steady, stubborn mode.

Four Capricorn bodies behind the ascendant
Venus at 3°23′, Uranus at 2°47′, Saturn at 9°57′ and Neptune at 10°14′ all fall in Capricorn. Saturn and Neptune are 0°17′ from exact, Venus and Uranus 0°36′. Jupiter in Cancer opposes both Neptune, 0°27′ off, and Saturn, 0°44′ off.
By Whole Sign all four are in the 12th house, the one before the ascendant, linked with what stays out of sight. Placidus lifts Venus and Uranus into the 11th, the house of friends and followers. Saturn, the old ruler of Aquarius, rules her rising sign.
