The Rebel

From an early age, Sinéad O’Connor made clear to everyone that she would not compromise on her creative freedom. She radiated a strong and genuine feminist energy, manifested in her looks, lyrics, music, and political activism.

Her need for creative freedom comes from a strong Artist and Performer Talent, represented by the Element of Water. Dragon and Rat form a potent Water combination, and at the top of her BaZi Chart, she has Yang Water. In combination with Yin Metal, Yang Fire produces additional Water, giving her considerable sensuality and charisma.

COMBATIVE NATURE

She is very combative, though, and this comes from her troubling relationships with authorities (Element of Fire). Her Rat (Yin Water, creative expression) directly clashes with Horse (Yin Fire, authority). This Rat has a lot of power; it’s supported by Dragon, Ox, and Yang Water Element, so she has the upper hand when it comes to authority.

At her young age, this issue with authorities manifested through her troubling relationship with the church, which she perceived as highly abusive, for valid reasons. Hence, she developed considerable antagonism toward that establishment in her early years.

She married four times, which clearly indicates an issue in that area. The conflict between Fire and Water Element is problematic; she naturally puts a lot of pressure on her husbands/boyfriends, and therefore her relationships don’t last.

She is also diagnosed with bipolar disorder, which is often triggered by the Competitor Talent, in her case, Yang Metal, sitting right next to her Yin Metal. This may lead to an identity crisis due to the oscillation between Yin and Yang personality traits. This also explains her tendency toward bisexuality at a young age.

At one point in her career, during the Monkey Dynamic Luck and excessive Water structure, her rebellious nature intensified, resulting in a public revolt, a prolonged career break, and a pivot towards spirituality, in a quest for freedom. After many decades of struggle and fighting with authorities, she is slowly finding her peace.
