It’s touchdowns, proposals, and presumably a celebratory round of caviar bumps for Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce.
The footballer and the pop star revealed their engagement via Instagram this week. “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married 🧨,” they captioned several photos from the backyard proposal.
The carousel included a close-up look at Swift’s Artifex Fine ring, which her fiancé helped design.
The ring is rumored to be worth seven figures. Dios mio.
The pair were first linked in the hearts and minds of fans in the summer of 2023 when Kelce admitted he tried — and failed — to give Swift his phone number via a homemade friendship bracelet (cute) after a Kansas City “Eras Tour” show.
Leveling up on the cusp of cuffing season and likely putting a batch of monogrammed T&T (dynamite) towels on their registry, the pair reportedly got engaged a few weeks ago, but TayTay wanted to leverage the power of numerology to deliver the glad tidings on August 26th.
The announcement comes two weeks after the singer sat down for her first-ever podcast interview on Kelce’s “New Heights” show, where she also announced her 12th album, “The Life of a Showgirl,” dropping Oct. 3.
With much to celebrate, we’re taking a look at the stars that bind and grind between these two lovers.
Taylor Swift birth chart
Can’t you just smell the snickerdoodles baking and the lowercase lyrics being written, folks?
Born unto us on Dec. 13, 1989, Swift is an optimist against all odds Sagittarius sun with a “you can run but I will find you” Cancer moon, a weirder the better Aquarius Venus, and a built to love and capitalize on loss, watch your back, vengeance as cardio Scorpio Mars.
Conversely, Kelce, born Oct. 5, 1989, is a charm-your-pants-off Libra sun with a “let the good times roll” Sagittarius moon, a sex with/in the shadows Scorpio Venus, and a pause before progress Libra Mars.
In terms of sun sign compatibility, Libra and Sagittarius are ruled by Venus and Jupiter, and love and luck are into some serious heavy petting in this pairing. There is effortless, expansive energy at play with an emphasis on play itself.
Sag wants to have a good time all the time, and Libra was born for leisure. Both are vested in learning, sex-ploration, levity, noncommittal relationships, and immersive experiences.

These two will likely never run out of wine to drink, museums to visit, s–t to talk, caviar to lick, or hotel rooms in which to luxuriate.
Elementally speaking, air feeds fire — and Kelce is a natural hype man for Swift’s power pyre.
Kelce’s birth time is not listed online, but we can posit that, to a varying degree, his moon forms a conjunction with Swift’s sun in Sagittarius.
This aspect bodes well for the couple, as it suggests a complementary yin/yang energy. The sun and moon are natural partners to one another — and that bond is reflected in this conjunction.

Here, day meets night, the unconscious tangos with the conscious, the inner child plays hopscotch with the aspirational adult, etc. The sun person (Swift) will feel emotionally supported by the moon person (Kelce), and the moon will be awed/inspired by the actualized light of the sun.
There is an innate comfort here and a feeling of coming home to and within the other person.
Can’t you smell the snickerdoodles baking and the lowercase, lavender vows being written, folks? We love to see it.
Problems arise in this dynamic if/when the moon person begins to feel stifled by or resentful of their role as a supporting character in the movie of the sun person’s life. This is heightened by the people-pleasing qualities of Kelce’s Libra sun.
TBH, folks, there are crueler fates than being the Mr. and hot dude muse to Miss Americana. However, Libras like Kelce are here to learn the finer points of partnership and establish boundaries and balance within it, meaning he is poised to experience a significant amount of personal growth through this relationship, win or lose.
On the upswing, this conjunction/hold-my-purse/watch-me-work dynamic is a real boon to Swift, whose Cancer moon can easily creep into caretaking/martyr/self-sacrifice on the altar of love territory.
Kelce’s sun, representing the self, in Libra squares Swift’s Neptune, planet of dreams and creation, in Capricorn. This aspect suggests a real soul-melding, high-vibe, nearly telepathic connection that encourages these two to build an idyllic, confectionery nest together high above and spirited away from the rest of the maddening world.
Think unicorn role-play, binge-watching surrealist films, and black-out curtains followed by a hard-hitting hangover when they are eventually forced to resume their lives away from one another amid the cold, hard ground of reality.
Indeed, this is a partnership vested in fantasy rather than practicality — but who can fault these millennial moonbeams for wanting to fly high, get hitched, and shoot their shot at happily ever after?
Not me, folks.
Mars and Venus in cahoots = sex and power, orgasms and material gains
Kelce’s Venus (the planet of love) is conjunct Swift’s Mars (the planet of getting it on and getting it done) in Scorpio.
When love and lust are linked, the attraction is immediate — and the benefit is mutual.
Drive and desire are braided here with pleasure and power being amplified, and a greater emphasis on enjoying life. The Mars person (Swift) is likely the pursuer of the Venus person (Kelce) with lots of potential for secret hookups and masked sex. We love to see it folks.

Will it last?
When it comes to discerning zodiac compatibility, I don’t bet against love or doom any hopefuls to romantic ruin. The wisdom of Shel Silverstein’s “The Mustn’ts,” in this and all other situations, proves apt here:
“Listen to Mustn’ts, child, listen to the Don’ts.
Listen to the Shouldn’ts, the Impossibles, the Won’ts.
Listen to the Never Haves, then listen close to me.
Anything can happen, child, Anything can be.”
Indeed, anything can happen and anything can be.
Here’s hoping the ride is sweet — and everyone scores.
