Grammy-winning folk singer Joni Mitchell is best known for the songs “Both Sides, Now” and “Big Yellow Taxi.” She recorded her first album in 1968 before finding commercial and critical success with Ladies of the Canyon, Blue, and Court and Spark, three albums from the early 1970s. Mitchell’s songs have been covered by the likes of Judy Collins and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, with her emotionally vulnerable lyrics influencing scores of musicians. Her impact on music has earned her induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, Songwriters Hall of Fame, and she was bestowed the Gershwin Prize.

Joni Mitchell, born November 7, is the King of Clubs/4 of Diamonds; her father, William Anderson, born August 24, was the 2 of Clubs/King of Clubs; and Joni’s mother, Myrtle McKee, born May 24, was the 8 of Clubs/6 of Diamonds. Daughter and dad had identical cards — the King of Clubs — Joni’s birth card, and her dad’s astrological ruling card. Father, mother and child all had matching suits (Clubs) for their birth cards.

Singer-songwriter Joni Mitchell was born Roberta Joan Anderson on November 7, 1943, in Fort Macleod, Canada. Her famous last name mirrors that of her first husband, Chuck Mitchell. At age 9, Joni contracted polio, and it was during her recovery in the hospital that she began performing and singing to patients. After teaching herself how to play the guitar, she went off to art college and quickly emerged as one of the leading folk performers of the late 1960s and ’70s.

Joni Mitchell's artistic talents were appreciated by the band Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, which featured her artwork for the cover of their "So Far" 1974 album.

Ella Marija Lani Yelich-O'Connor, aka Lorde

Lorde's debut studio album Pure Heroine containing the single "Royals" was released in September 2013 to critical acclaim; it appeared on several year-end best album lists. The album received considerable attention for its portrayal of suburban teenage disillusionment and critiques of mainstream culture. In the United States, the album sold over 1 million copies in February 2014, becoming the first debut album by a female artist since Adele’s 2008 album “19” to achieve the feat. Lorde, born in suburban Auckland, New Zealand, to a civil engineer father and poet mother, wrote Royals at age 16 as a love letter to her boring life in the ‘burbs. Royals would find its audience in the United States — with African-American radio championing the track, it vaulted to the top of the Billboard Hot 100 (and went to number one in Ireland and across Europe). Three months shy of her 17th birthday, Yelich-O’Connor (aka Lorde) was a star.

Ella Marija Lani Yelich-O'Connor (known professionally as Lorde), born November 7, is the King of Clubs/4 of Diamonds; her father Vic O'Connor, born March 29, is the 7 of Clubs/Jack of Clubs; and her mother Sonya Yelich, born February 26, is the Queen of Clubs/5 of Spades. Ella’s parents are suited and connected — Vic O’Connor’s Jack of Clubs astrological ruling card to wife Sonya Yelich’s Queen of Clubs birth card; and “Lorde” is ‘suited and connected’ to her mother, Lorde’s King of Clubs birth card to mom Sonya’s Queen of Clubs.

The above Crownline timing chart is the 7-year cycle for Lorde between the ages of 14 and 20. At age 16, her Kin6g of Clubs birth card is going to move and ‘sit’ in the Crownline, where the Jack of Spades card is positioned at that point in time. During this period, Lorde released her first studio album, Pure Heroine, which won critical acclaim and many year-end awards. As of 2021, Pure Heroine has sold over 6 million copies.

Linda Ronstadt is one of the top-selling female rock artists of all time, and a trailblazer in successfully testing the boundaries of popular music across Rock, Pop, Latin, Folk, Country, Jazz, and Broadway. One of the world’s best-selling artists, she has sung on over 120 albums, with at least 31 gold and platinum records, and sold more than 100 million records worldwide.

Linda Ronstadt, born July 15, is the King of Clubs/6 of Spades; her father Gilbert Ronstadt, born June 14, was the 3 of Diamonds/Ace of Spaces; and her mother Ruth May Rondstadt, born June 7, was the 10 of Diamonds/8 of Spades. Parents and child were all same suits for their astrological ruling cards (Spades).

Venus Williams captured the singles title at Wimbledon five times (2000–01, 2005, and 2007–08), and she twice won the U.S. Open (2000–01). Along with her younger sister, Serena, Venus Williams was coached by her parents Oracene Price and Richard Williams. Turning professional in 1994, she reached her first major final at the 1997 U.S. Open. In 2000 and 2001, Williams claimed the Wimbledon and U.S. Open titles, as well as Olympic singles gold at the 2000 Sydney Olympics. She first reached the singles world No. 1 ranking on February 25, 2002, becoming the first African American woman to do so in the Open era, and the second of all time after Althea Gibson.

Venus Williams, born June 17, is the King of Clubs/Jack of Diamonds. Her father Richard Williams, born February 14, is the Jack of Diamonds/6 of Spades and her mother, Oracene Price, born April 3, is the 5 of Spades/9 of Spades. Venus and her father Richard each had the Jack of Diamonds — Venus’s astrological ruling card and Richard’s birth card. Richard Williams’s birth card and Oracene Price’s astrological ruling card were suited and connected — the parent-coaches card dynamics providing a boost to Venus, although the couple would eventually divorce in 2002.
