19~The Planet Mars~
Gabe Ginsberg//Getty Images“I got Mars because I met a guy on tour that I became really good friends with, and his birthday is on my half birthday and I’m a Libra,” Halsey told iHeart. “So my ruling planet is Venus and his ruling planet is Mars, which are also opposites. So it’s, like, opposite birthdays, opposite signs, technically opposite personalities in astrology but complete opposites, and we were really good friends. So I got Mars and he got Venus. We got each other’s planet.”
