The Weeknd is a singer, songwriter, record producer born in Toronto, CAN (Canada).
Abel Makkonen Tesfaye (Amharic: አቤል መኮንን ተስፋዬ; born February 16, 1990), known professionally as the Weeknd, is a Canadian singer-songwriter, record producer, and actor. His accolades include four Grammy Awards, 20 Billboard Music Awards, 22 Juno Awards, six American Music Awards, three MTV Video Music Awards, a Latin Grammy Award and nominations for an Academy Award and a Primetime Emmy Award. Tesfaye began releasing music anonymously in 2009.

| Birth data reliability | Reference |
Birth details come from a published reference (source: Web) and have not been checked against a birth record, so the Moon sign is usually right but the Ascendant could differ.
Computed with Swiss Ephemeris (Lahiri ayanamsa). Exact birth time is not publicly recorded, so noon local time was used. The Moon changes Nakshatra about once a day, so the Nakshatra and Ascendant shown may differ if the true birth time is different.
Our library holds 126 singers with a computed Vedic chart from reliable birth data. 15 of them (12%) have the Moon in Libra, like The Weeknd, and 12 (10%) share the Swati Nakshatra — the most common Moon Nakshatra among singers.
For scale, an even spread would put about 3.7% in each of the 27 Nakshatras and 8.3% in each Moon sign. These are simple counts from our dataset, not a prediction.
