Written for Teletext: WHAT THE STARS SAY ABOUT - like a
lioness
Leo
Madonna, so often thought of as strong and frightening, was born
on 16 August 1958 at 7.05am in Bay City Michigan.
Leo is the performing,
theatrical sign, and with Mars in Taurus Madonna has had the bull-like
determination to stay in the headlines for the last twenty years.
Her first record, Like a Virgin, reflected her Virgo
rising sign and ascendant, combined with the star quality of her
sparkling Leo Sunsign.
With career planet Mars square unpredictable Uranus, Madonna is
bored unless making breakthroughs in her music, movies, dancing
or whatever.
She has said: "I've never wanted to make the same record or
do the same thing twice."
Madonna has Moon Virgo - showing
her great desire for perfection both in her life and her work.
It is very strongly aspected - conjunct ascendant, Mercury and
Pluto and sextile creative Neptune.
So many aspects from the Moon
indicates an enormous influence from the individual's mother on
their character and life. Madonna's mother died when she was six.
She has said that she has been searching for a reason for her own
life and existence ever since.
Being a confident, determined Leo, with Sun and Venus conjunct
Pluto, planet of transformation, Madonna has endlessly reinvented
herself. Her outrageous dress sense, including her pointy bras,
reflects her creative, often flashy Venus in Leo.
Jupiter in the horoscope
chart shows where we find fulfilment and where we feel great loss
if something that makes us happy is taken away again. Madonna's
Jupiter is in Libra, showing how important love relationships and
creativity are to her. She has been married to film director Guy
Ritchie since 2000.
The
demise of her 1985-9 marriage to Sean Penn devastated her - she
portrayed the connection in typical romantic Libran terms, as an
all-consuming idealistic love bond.
Adept at manipulating her own publicity and business affairs, Madonna
exhibits Leo's strategic expertise.
The mixture of sex and religion
in her albums, including the wittily titled Immaculate Collection,
demonstrates her strong Leo and Virgo influences.
There is a certain Virgoan romantic austerity in Madonna's 2000
wedding venue - a remote Scottish castle.
Her daughter, Lourdes,
was born in 1996, a Libran. Rocco, her son, born 1996, is a Leo
like mother.
In traditional sunsign astrology,
both signs are thought to be compatible with their mother's. As
a Leo Madonna relates well to kids, with an ever-fresh enthusiasm
for life. She will get on well with her children at all times.
