Sagittarius Sun

Aries Moon

Mars in Gemini

Tom DeLonge, guitarist and vocalist for Blink 182, Boxcar Racer, and most recently Angels and Airwaves is born under a fiery combination of Sagittarius Sun and Aries Moon. Sagittarius is a sign of culture, travel, and ever changing experience, so it's very fitting that Angels and Airwaves first single was "The Adventure". That's exactly what a Sagittarius with Aries Moon has a thirst for. Becoming stagnant or stuck is not an option for a Sagittarius/Aries star-person. Possibly this explains Tom's departure from Blink 182 to form his own band and pursue his musical vision. The fire signs tend to move on readily when inspired by something new.

Mars, the rock star planet, is in Gemini in Tom's chart, significant since a Mars Gemini is mentally active and restless and often has many plans and projects in the works at once. A Mars Gemini multi tasks and would love to bring all his ideas to fruition. Mars, planet of energy and drive grants intelligence and a way with words, which Tom expresses as a songwriter. His songs reflect Mars images, heated, active and red, from "the little red bridge with a view of the sun" in Call to Arms to "The Sun it set in the night time sky, The stars they cast a glow upon my eyes, The Earth itself a burning ball of light…" in Love like Rockets. Titles like Siren, Jumping Rooftops, War and The Adventure and referrals to battle and war, recurrent in both albums are tied to both high voltage Mars in Gemini and Moon in Aries, sign of the warrior.

Individuals, like Tom, with Mars in Gemini, live to be busy and expressive and wither when bored. As a Mars/Gemini, ruled by the hands and wrists, Tom needs to channel energy through the fingers, and in his case guitar is the instrument of choice.

Astrologically, Tom's career in various bands appears to be true to his birth chart. Born near the first Jupiter/Pluto conjunction in thirteen years on December 11, 2007, in his sign, Sagittarius, Tom DeLonge is due for both success and transformative events in the year ahead.
