Joni Mitchell's Big Three
Here is how Astrologer's interpretation library describes each of these placements, for anyone born with them.
Sun in Scorpio: Below the Surface
You live below the surface and you know it. Your sense of self is built from what you have survived and what you refuse to say out loud, and your will is steady, private and impossible to deflect once it has fixed on something. People experience you as intense even when you are quiet, and they either trust you completely or keep a careful distance. You read motives fast and forgive slowly. Half measures bore you, and your vitality comes back strongest after something has ended.
Moon in Pisces: Porous to Everything
You absorb the feeling of a room without meaning to, and by evening you can be carrying moods that started in other people. Comfort is softness, music, water, sleep, anything that blurs the edges. Boundaries do not come naturally, so you give more than you have and need long stretches alone to find your own shape again. Your imagination is vivid enough to be a refuge and, on bad days, a hiding place. People confide in you because you never seem shocked, and they are usually right.

Element and modality balance
Only planets that stayed in one sign throughout the birth day are counted.
Counting ten planets from the Sun to Pluto: Fire 2, Earth 1, Air 4, Water 3. By modality: Cardinal 1, Fixed 4, Mutable 5.
A air emphasis
An air emphasis makes you mental, social, and idea-driven: you live in thought, communication, and connection, weighing things from a distance.
A mutable emphasis
A mutable emphasis makes you adaptable and flexible: you adjust easily, juggle change, and thrive on variety and versatility.

The three tightest, as the library describes them for anyone born with the same contact:
Jupiter sextile Saturn: Vision Meets Scaffolding
Big ideas and the patience to build them sit near each other in you, on speaking terms rather than fused. The optimism offers a direction and the discipline offers a timeline, and they only trade when you actually put both in the same room. In people who use it, this looks like long projects that stay fun; in people who don't, it stays a nice theory about what they could have built.
Mercury sextile Chiron: Words That Heal
There's a wound around your mind: something early taught you that your thinking wasn't sharp enough, your questions were too many, your words came out wrong. Mercury and Chiron at 60 degrees turn that sore spot into unusually precise language for other people's pain. It works in people who talk and write from it, and sits quiet in people who don't.
Sun sextile Chiron: Wound Teaches Play
There is a way you talk about the hard thing that makes other people relax, and it works because your sore spot sits close to your sense of fun rather than opposite it. The Sun side pushes with wanting to be seen and enjoyed; the Chiron side answers by making that visibility useful to whoever is watching. It stays dormant if you never mention the wound out loud.
How this chart was calculated
Every position on this page is calculated with the Swiss Ephemeris for Joni Mitchell's recorded date and place of birth. Without a birth time the rising sign and houses are unknown. Sun and Moon signs are stated only when they held true for the whole day. The interpretations come from the same library Astrologer uses in its own chart readings.
