The Weeknd's Birth Moon

R&B artist known for dark, atmospheric music and global hits including Blinding Lights.

16 February 1990

Last Quarter

62.1% illuminated

Singer, songwriter

On 16 February 1990 the moon was 21 days in, with the light beginning to withdraw, showing 62.1% of its face. That month's full moon — traditionally called the Snow Moon — had passed 7 days earlier, on 9 February 1990.

Jupiter was retrograde that day — appearing, from Earth, to move backwards against the stars. It is an effect of the two planets' relative speeds rather than a change in direction, and astrologers read it as a period of review rather than progress.

Moon in Scorpio ♏

The moon was passing through Scorpio on 16 February 1990, while the sun sat in Aquarius — which is why The Weeknd's star sign is Aquarius. The two rarely coincide: the sun takes a month to cross a sign and the moon takes about two and a half days.

Where the sun sign is read as the outward character, the moon sign is read as the emotional register underneath it — the part that feels at high intensity and largely in private, staying guarded until trust is fully established.

Aspects that day

Aspects are the angles bodies form with each other. These were within orb on 16 February 1990:

What a Last Quarter birth moon means

The cycle moves toward completion. What needs to end before something new can begin? Name it, honour it, and release it with grace.

Traits of the Last Quarter

Last Quarter births are philosophical, transformative, and drawn to endings and beginnings. They understand instinctively that letting go is the path forward. The Weeknd has shown this quality repeatedly — the ability to release what is no longer working and reinvent without losing their core.

How to read all this

Every figure on this page is calculated from The Weeknd's date of birth — the phase, the illumination percentage, the positions and the aspects are astronomy, and they would be the same whoever was born that day. The character readings attached to them are symbolic tradition, not measurement, and are best treated as prompts for reflection rather than claims about a person.

Two things are deliberately missing. Without a birth time we cannot give a rising sign or house placements, since both change through the day — the ascendant shifts roughly every two hours. And without a birthplace there are no moonrise or moonset times, which depend on latitude. Anywhere you see those quoted for a public figure without a documented birth certificate time, treat them with caution.
