Madonna

Birth Details:
August 16, 1958

Bay City, Michigan

Say what you will about Madonna, but she's a force to be reckoned with. This megawatt star has cut oodles of records, vamped on the big screen, started her own record label and sold out concerts across the world for a couple of decades. Now that's clout. She's also had almost more boyfriends than hairstyles. Her latest incarnation as wife and mother appears to become her -- recent years have seen an even more focused, more spiritual, more centered and, if possible, more confident Madonna. (Her stable and long-term -- well, for her! -- marriage to British filmmaker Guy Ritchie may also have something to do with it.) And who would've guessed the world would ever see Madonna, children's book author? The Material Girl's secret is easy to see: Keep redefining yourself, and the market will never tire of you. Would the stars agree? Let's find out!

Born under a Leo Sun, Madonna also has Venus and Uranus in Leo, making her showy to the max. It's the positioning of Uranus, however, that makes her a unique and even eccentric individual, someone who uses her identity and sexuality to propel herself to the top.

Madonna's Tarot Reading

This bundle of blond ambition has Virgo rising, as well as her Moon (which rules her emotions), Mercury (which points to her style of communication) and Pluto (her planet of power) in Virgo. These three planets form a stellium, which marks her as an excellent businesswoman, someone who is precise and exacting, and who can also be picky and critical. Furthermore, this alignment pegs Madonna as a born big shot, so mess with this seductress at your own risk!

With Mars (the planet of passion) in Taurus, a fixed sign, the Material Girl is as stubborn as they come. She's also very materialistic, making that nickname no accident. It's potent Mars that grants Madonna a keen understanding of her self-worth, especially where her values are concerned. This is further supported by Mars's position in the ninth house, the house of philosophy.

Madonna's values, even if some don't agree with them, are real and important to her. While the sexy songstress can have her pick of men, she's held out for someone who can teach her something and truly enhance her life. Only time and the stars will tell whether Ritchie will fit the bill for the long haul, but they certainly do look happy. And thanks to a North Node conjunct Jupiter in Libra in the second house, Madonna's life challenge is learning how to share equally with someone. In this alignment, Libra, the sign of partnerships, is graced by Jupiter, the planet of abundance. If she's open to it, this pop culture icon could be headed for relationship bliss.
