Beyoncé's "Virgo's Groove" Lyrics Have Very Little To Do With Astrology

A new era of Beyoncé is here, and it’s going to *break my soul*. The Grammy winner’s seventh studio album, Renaissance, has just been released, so — like the rest of humanity — I’ve been diving deep into every track and lyric. Kicking off with “I’m That Girl” and ending with “Summer Renaissance,” the Renaissance tracklist has so much to dissect. But, as an astrologer, I was naturally drawn to Beyoncé’s “Virgo’s Groove,” and I can tell you one thing: Though its title may suggest otherwise, the lyrics to “Virgo’s Groove” have very little to do with astrology.

What Is Beyoncé’s Zodiac Sign?

Before we examine the lyrics to “Virgo’s Groove,” we must first analyze Beyoncé’s birth chart, because astrology clearly inspired the groovy song’s title (plus, it’s a very Virgo trait to be analytical, so she’d probably appreciate it). Born Sept. 4, 1981, Beyoncé is a Virgo sun, so you can assume that the name “Virgo’s Groove” means she’s referring to her own ~groove~.

Of course, one’s sun sign doesn’t give you the full picture; to give you a more accurate portrayal of who Beyoncé is as a person, you must also know her rising and moon signs. In the astro community, everyone agrees that the multi-hyphenate is a Scorpio moon, but there have been plenty of conversations about whether she’s a Libra or Scorpio rising (or ascendant sign).

According to the AstroTwins, who did an in-person birth chart reading with Beyoncé back in 2003, “Libra rising made sense” to them at the time. But in September 2021, after astrologer Patrick Watson questioned that theory due to the singer’s alleged birth time — noting that “11am-11:59am CDT in Houston on 9/4/1981 would put her rising sign between 3-15 Scorpio. She would have to be born before 10:46 am to be a Libra rising” — the AstroTwins said they could be “remembering wrong.”

Given everything we know about Beyoncé’s personality, Scorpio rising makes much more sense — in my expert opinion, at least.

The Significance Of Renaissance’s Release Date In Astrology

The Renaissance album release date is on Friday, July 29, one day after the new moon in Leo. If Beyoncé is a Scorpio rising, this would mean that Renaissance is dropping while the sun and moon are both in her 10th house of career and public image, bringing powerful new beginnings to this part of her chart. It would also mean that this lunation is exactly conjunct her Midheaven (aka the Medium Coeli) at 5 degrees of Leo, the highest point in a birth chart, representing notoriety and public attention.

Beyoncé also has her natal Mars in Leo and her natal North Node in Leo — two incredibly influential placements that are being activated by this new moon. With Mars representing action, assertion, and drive, and the North Node serving as the road map to fulfilling your highest destiny, there’s no better time than now to release this album. Since Leo is a fixed fire sign, this new moon is all about realigning with your confidence, self-expression, and courage — things Renaissance appears to strongly support.

While Libra rising would place the new moon in Leo in Beyoncé’s 11th house of audiences, fans, and community (a house that also makes sense), it appears as though Scorpio rising may ultimately be the correct rising sign, based on the rectification of her chart.

This new moon also squares the Lion King star’s Scorpio moon and rising, clashing with her private, withdrawn nature, and encouraging her to step directly into the limelight. Beyoncé is commonly known as one of the most private celebrities of all time, and doing a full-blown album rollout is currently putting her in the public eye far more than she’s been used to as of late. While this new moon will spotlight her new work and mark the beginning of a new era, it will also mark the beginning of a very visible moment in her career, especially since it *appears* that Act I: Renaissance won’t be a standalone album.

"Virgo's Groove" Lyrics Meaning

Rather than the meaning of Beyoncé’s “Virgo’s Groove” lyrics to be of astrological nature — like those of “Signs” and “Gift From Virgo” from her 2003 album, Dangerously in Love — they’re far more sexual. (Though, for being “the virgins” of the zodiac, Virgos are known for being incredible lovers, so it somewhat tracks.) The only Renaissance lyrics that remotely relate to astrology are “A psychic hit me, told me we got sh*t to do” and — if you really want to push it — “I scream so loud, I curse the stars.” And there’s definitely not a “magic ride” that involves motorboating in the cosmos. The Virgo’s ~groove~ she’s seemingly referring to: all-night long foreplay and then some:

Yeah, so dance

All night long to the throb

But the meaning behind the release date of Act 1 of Renaissance? I wouldn’t be surprised if Beyoncé has an astrologer on her team, because it’s too much of a coincidence that it coincides with the new moon in Leo — and Queen Bey doesn’t do coincidences.
