Sean 'Diddy' Combs's Tarot Reading

Sean John Combs was born in Harlem to model Janice Combs and Melvin Combs. He was raised by his mother in Mount Vernon, New York, after his father's untimely death. In 1987 he graduated from a private Roman Catholic High School, Mount Saint Michael, located just south of Mount Vernon. From there he went to Howard University, a well-known Black college in Washington, D.C., majoring in business. After one year at Howard and a course-required summer internship at Uptown Records where he worked for company founder, Andre Harrell, he left school to work for the record label full time. Years later Howard recognized him as a distinguished alumnus and he donated $250,000 to the university's School of Business. In 2002 he made Fortune Magazine's list of the 40 Richest People Under 40 and took the Number One spot on the list of the top ten wealthiest people in hip-hop.

Over the years, he has been known by a variety of stage names, including Puffy, Puff Daddy and P. Diddy. In 2005, he decided to simply call himself Diddy, stating that his fans were getting confused and were no longer sure what to call him. The change caused a problem in England as there is a musician/DJ there who also calls himself Diddy, so in the UK he is still known as P. Diddy.

Sun in Scorpio indicates that Diddy is self-reliant and resourceful. He is also magnetic, complex and quiet. Intensely private, he is not an easy man to get to know. He is extremely sensitive but reluctant to show it, permitting only a few individuals into his private world. He has an intense need for deep emotional involvement and is protective of his relationships and the people with whom he has emotional connections. When he commits himself, he is completely devoted and expects total loyalty in return. Separations can be very painful for him, even malicious or violent. When wounded, he is not inclined to forgive easily and may well retaliate. He is not quick to forget an injury and often harbors resentments for a long time.

He does everything with zeal and can go to extremes. Emotional detachment and objectivity are not his strong points. He is uncompromising and his determination in pursuing his goals often borders on obsession. He is attracted to the unseen, mysterious side of life, never taking things at face value.

Mercury in Scorpio gives him superb intellectual awareness and the ability to become completely immersed in his work. He seems to know things at an instinctive level and likes to learn through experience or apprenticeship rather than academically -- which explains his jump from business school straight into the record industry. He tends to become narrowly focused on his own particular interests and may not pay much attention to anything outside that field. With Mercury opposition Saturn he thoroughly scrutinizes and analyzes a concept before he will accept it. He may seem judgmental and unreceptive to others' ideas, particularly if they are trivial or poorly thought out. Preferring substantial conversations to meaningless banter, he thinks carefully before speaking and probably wishes others would do the same.

Venus in Libra means that he possesses tact, courtesy, thoughtfulness and a strong desire to please and understand his love partner. Because he values harmony, he will compromise a great deal to avoid conflict. He does not like to dwell on divisive or emotionally difficult subjects and often tries to smooth things over instead. In love, he wants an intellectual equal and a friend. He is attracted to people with elegance and subtlety. He appreciates good manners and is not happy with a coarse type of person. He has a son, Justin Combs, born in 1994, from his previous relationship with hip hop stylist, Misa Hylton-Brim. He and girlfriend, actress/model Kim Porter also have a son, Christian Casey Combs, born in 1997. In December of 2006, he and Kim had twin girls, D'Lila Star and Jessie James Combs. Kim also has a son, Quincy, from her previous relationship with Al B. Sure.

Venus conjunct Jupiter reveals that he is big-hearted and generous with his money and his affection and is not happy if he has to budget or restrict himself in any way. Miserliness is foreign to his nature and he feels most comfortable in an elegant, attractive atmosphere. Asceticism is definitely not his thing. Gracious and charitable, he enjoys sponsoring social events or cultural activities. He has an optimistic, friendly attitude towards others and tends to bring out their finer side. He is attracted to someone who is successful, dignified and idealistic. Venus conjunct Mercury/Uranus signifies that his artistic sensitivity and insight give him strong creative potential. He thinks in forms or shapes and tunes into rhythms such as dancing, gymnastics and song. His physical coordination is likely to be excellent.

Mars in Capricorn shows that he is serious about his ambitions and is disciplined, dedicated and steadfast in pursuing them. His drive and energy are directed toward practical material accomplishment and concrete results. He strives to be in a position of power and social influence; he enjoys being in command. He is hard working and capable of sacrificing immediate comfort to achieve his long-range goals. He can easily become a workaholic, as he is very responsible and conscientious about doing a thorough job. Realistic and pragmatic, he is an excellent strategist. He attains success by following through with a workable plan. He depends on his own efforts and perseverance rather than good fortune. He has a natural shrewdness and instinct for business and organizational management.

With Mars sextile Neptune, unlike some who have dreams and fantasies, he is a person who tries to live out those dreams, no matter how unrealistic or far-fetched they may seem. He has a quixotic, idealistic streak and may be more inspired to work for a higher cause than simply for his own personal achievement. For instance, in 1995, he formed Daddy's House Social Programs -- a 'series of educational initiatives for inner-city youth.' He ran the New York City Marathon in 2003, finishing in four hours and eighteen minutes and raising two million dollars for charity. Mars trine Pluto signifies that he has a strong sense of mission and instinctively knows that to achieve anything great, one must eliminate superfluous activities and give oneself wholly to the goal at hand. His zeal, enthusiasm and clarity of purpose enable him to succeed and to achieve whatever he aims for. He has a strong will, but is usually quiet and understated about it.

Mars opposition Venus/Saturn reveals that he tends to be on the defensive and fears rejection in love. There could be a violent streak in him and he is inclined to be jealous. Because of his strong sense of duty he may sacrifice his own happiness for others. Pluto conjunct Moon/Venus dictates that his amorous feelings are likely to be very intense and that he tends to prove his love for someone through exaggerated gestures.

Saturn in Taurus indicates that he may either overvalue or undervalue his possessions and assets. He can go to extremes, being either hedonistic or austere. He may deny himself pleasure and enjoyment of the fruits of his labors. Many times he feels that he does not have enough to make him feel secure, regardless of how much he has. While this trait was prescribed by the planets, a tragedy early in his life may have intensified it. On January 26, 1972, when he was only two years old, his thirty-three year old father was killed by a gunshot.

Jupiter in Libra means that his strength lies in his ability to cooperate and to be diplomatic. He also possesses a strong sense of fairness and the willingness to listen to opposing viewpoints. Jupiter conjunct Mercury/Uranus makes him optimistic and confident. Fortuitous ideas, a quick grasp and clear comprehension of issues allow him to plan ahead and achieve success. In his musical career he has earned a total of nine Grammy nominations and three wins. His record company, Bad Boy Records (distributed by Atlantic as of 2003) is estimated to be worth some 500,000,000 dollars. He also has a restaurant chain called Justin's, named after his son. Making his mark in the fashion industry, Diddy designed the Dallas Mavericks alternate jersey and has his own line of urban fashion called Sean John. When he learned that the factories making clothes for him in Honduras were in violation of Honduran labor law, he took steps immediately to rectify the situation, setting an example for other celebrities to help end abusive labor practices. In 2004 he added acting to his repertoire, starring opposite Audra McDonald and Phylicia Rashad in the Broadway production of A Raisin in the Sun. He also appeared alongside Halle Berry and Billy Bob Thornton in the film Monster's Ball.

Pluto conjunct Moon/Jupiter shows that he feels most comfortable in grandiose surroundings and is likely to seek associations with rich people. A rather grandiose example of this was his exclusive dinner on August 4, 2006, held on a private yacht -- the R.M. Elegant -- for a personally selected group of fifty of the most 'unforgivable people in the world' to celebrate the success of his new fragrance, 'Unforgivable.' Attendees included his girlfiend Kim Porter, Penelope Cruz, Sean Jean Fragrances President John Demsey, Anne Hathaway, Russell Simmons, Paris Hilton, Stavros Niarchos, Sarah Ferguson, Buzz Aldrin, George Hamilton, Ivana and Ivanka Trump and his mother, Janice Combs. Immediately after that came his annual White Party, transported this year from the Hamptons to Nikki Beach in St. Tropez.

He seems to have an extraordinary desire for possessions and wealth and does his utmost to attain dominance or supremacy in some way. A perfect case in point can be found in 'The Saga Continues' from his album, We Invented The Remix:

Oh you got a little name little fame little fortune?
What you have is a portion
Bout the size of the hats in the back of my Porsche and
So you better use caution, knowin I'm the boss and
I'm sittin on pyramids, flossin
I don't really gotta talk son
I can get lost and sit back livin off endorsements
I'm a pro, kid
Why you actin like you don't really know, kid?
Any records I broke it
Through the fame and the stardom, makin my mark on Harlem like Poe did
I said, here's your eviction notice
But you probably already know this ....
