She rose to fame with her hit single “All About that Bass” that helped women around the world have a different view of themselves and their bodies. Meghan was born on December 22, 1993 at 10:16am in Nantucket, Massachusetts.
What does her chart show us? Let’s take a look.
Meghan’s first house is in Aquarius. She has Saturn exactly conjunct her ascendant in its own sign. Saturn is at home in Aquarius as it is its moolatrikona sign. This means that in Meghan we will see more of her first house qualities over those of the other house Saturn rules which is her twelfth house of Capricorn. Saturn being in her first house give her a strong sense of responsibility and she was born as an old soul. She has the ability to organize and structure many areas of her life and is very dependable.

What this means is that they are in each other’s sign of rulership. This ultimately makes it as if they are each in their own sign. This is a very strong placement. With the ruler of the ninth in the eleventh this indicates that connections will come through friends and groups she is involved with. She will get plenty of good opportunities especially when transits trigger her natal Jupiter. With the ruler of the eleventh in her ninth house she can spend too much time traveling. She needs to be cautious that she doesn’t become excessively generous to the point of forgetting to take care of herself.
In her tenth house, Scorpio, she has the other node the Moon, Rahu. She has a drive that can bring success quickly but she could be in a more unusual career. She has this deep-seated insecurity to prove herself that gives her her drive and ambition. She is someone who is able to take action and can be aggressive when she needs to be. Mars as ruler of her tenth is in her eleventh house. This indicates that she will know influential people who are able to support her and give her career opportunities.

She can end up with hearing damage from her work with this placement.
In her eleventh house, Sagittarius, she has Mercury, Venus, Sun and Mars. Both her Mercury and Venus are what are called ghandanta, last degree of a water sign, first degree of a fire sign. This can make her feel at times like she is overwhelmed and she may feel like she is drowning in emotion.

What transits triggered her number one hit “All About That Bass”? Her marriage to her husband? Her pregnancy with her first child? Let’s take a look!
On June 30, 2014 Meghan released her first hit single “All About That Bass”. The song reached number one in 58 countries and sold 11 million units worldwide allowing it to be certified diamond by the Recording Industry Association of America. On this day transiting Jupiter was in Cancer sending its energy to her tenth house of career and natal Rahu. This ignited her career to kick off her fame. Transiting Rahu was in Libra conjunct her natal Jupiter, ruler of her eleventh house and lighting up her eleventh house as natal Venus and Jupiter are parivartana. Transiting Rahu was sending its energy to her first house lighting up who she is. Transiting Saturn was conjunct her natal Jupiter in Libra. This became a powerful point of manifestation for her eleventh house and all those planets because of the Jupiter connection. At this time, she was in her Venus Maha Dasha and Rahu Bhukti. What is powerful about this is Venus is in her eleventh house of great gains and Rahu is in her tenth house of career. Rahu disposits to Mars which is also in her eleventh house of great gains. Venus was also activated by the transits in Libra conjunct her natal Jupiter which as mentioned is parivartana (in each other’s sign of rulership) with Venus.
On her 25th birthday, December 22, 2018, she married Daryl Sabara. On this day transiting Saturn was in Sagittarius conjunct the ruler of her seventh house of marriage which brings marriage. It also brings a marriage based on security. Transiting Saturn was also sending its energy to her natal Saturn too. She was in her Venus Maha Dasha and Venus is in the seventh house in her Navamsha which activates this chart known for looking at the spouse. She has her natal Saturn in opposition to her seventh house which can give a long-lasting marriage.
On October 7, 2020 Meghan announced that she and her husband are expecting their first child. Jupiter is the indicator of children so its transits will be important. Transiting Jupiter was in Sagittarius sending its energy to her fifth house of children. This is a positive and can indicate pregnancy. Transiting Jupiter is also conjunct the ruler of her fifth house, Mercury. She is in her Venus Maha Dasha and Venus in her chart is in opposition to her fifth house which is another activation. When I look at the divisional chart for children we see it is activated as she is in her Saturn Bhukti which is in the first house and can activate the chart for children.
Meghan has a lot of potential in her chart and it will be fascinating to continue watching what unfolds.
