Bob Dylan Birth Chart
Born May 24, 1941 · Duluth, Minnesota
"Gemini multiplicity through Taurus roots — he changes the form every decade and the earth under it stays the same."
By Luna Sage · Chief Astrologer, Horoscope Sage
Key Placements in Bob's Chart
The shapeshifter — folk, rock, country, Christian, blues — every era a new Dylan
The voice and the earth — his musical roots are always there beneath the reinvention
The lyrics are the Nobel Prize — language that belongs to literature as much as music
The stubborn devotion to his own musical vision regardless of critical fashion
The discipline of the road — he has toured more consistently than almost any artist alive
Bob's Love Style & Relationships
Taurus Moon's emotional needs were always in tension with the nomadic lifestyle. The marriages and the children — all six — reflect a Taurus longing for home that the Gemini Sun's restlessness made impossible to fully have.
Career Drive & Ambition
The Nobel Prize for Literature in 2016 was Gemini Mercury getting the recognition that the music world had been too narrow to give. He didn't write songs — he wrote literature that happened to need a guitar.
Shadow Side & Growth Edge
Gemini's privacy about the self while making art that seemed maximally confessional created decades of critical misreading. The Never Ending Tour — over 100 shows a year since 1988 — is Taurus Moon's need for the road as home.
"The times they are a-changin'."
