| Sun and Ascendant: Sagittarius Tina Turner is a true Centaurian thoroughbred. The animal nature of her sign becomes apparent when she gallops on stage, kicks the air, rears her head and tosses her reddish hued mane. Tina has her Sun, Ascendant, Mercury and Venus in Sagittarius; Also Saturn and Pluto are in fire signs. It’s no wonder she’s such a bundle of energy! In addition to her Sagittarius, Jupiter and Neptune are placed in mutable signs. This makes her “wild-fire” even more restless and changeable. Tina clearly demonstrates how these abundant fire and mutable energies affect human expression. As she gyrates on stage, you may notice how the fires burn in a criss-crossing “Mobius” pattern. Any fiery outburst on one side of the body seems to be quickly reversed by a “back draft” which draws the torch to the other side of the body. These “bi-cameral” firings are most noticeable in the rotating movements of the body’s dual extremities— the hands, arms and legs. (They also can be seen in subtler facial |
 Tina shows several other physical traits associated with Sagittarius. Note the high cranial dome, the long neck, the large thighs, the broad frontal teeth and the horsey eyes that slant upward on the outer sides. (You may also notice that these Centaurian eyes constantly twinkle). |

CAPRICORN: NICOLAS CAGE
Jan. 7, 1964 5:30 AM, PST Long Beach, CA
| Sun: Capricorn Nicolas’ hangdog countenance made him one of the 1980’s least likely stars. Who’d expect someone with thinning hair, a wispy voice and such a “sleepy” appearance to succeed in movies? Against the odds, this goat was determined to make it on his own! Cage changed his name from Nicolas Coppola to avoid coasting on his uncle Francis Ford Coppola’s famous name. And in his 1989 film “Vampire’s Kiss”, he even ate a live cockroach on camera! Clearly, he give his all for his art, proving the adage that Capricorns will eat a tin can to prove a point! With Nicolas, we can show how transits and progressions alter an individual’s creative urges, as we see how Saturn and Uranus influenced the progress he made in his career. In 1987, transiting Uranus was on his ascendant and his Sun was progressed into Aquarius. In this “Uranian period”, Cage seemed interested in only pursuing offbeat, eccentric projects. That year, his two performances (as the hapless bandit in “Raising Arizona” and as Cher’s reluctant beau in “Moonstruck”) established him as a distinct, character actor. By 1995, Cage's progressed Sun approached his |
 natal Venus
and Saturn in mid-Aquarius. Saturn's increased influence became
apparent. In that year, Cage got married, remade Capricorn Richard Widmark’s role in “Kiss
of Death”, and reaped Saturn’s rewards with his Oscar winning role as a
suicidal cynic in “Leaving Las Vegas”. By 1998 (when his
progressed
Sun conjuncted Saturn), he was well established as a steely, bulked-up
action hero— thanks to the success of such films as “The Rock” and
“Con-Air”.
After the turn of the century, expect a return to the “absurd-side” as
these Saturn energies wane and his ascendant progresses into
Aquarius. NOTE

energies. Bit by bit,
the expressions become more firm and ever more
serious. Before
our eyes, the free spirited horse transforms into a well-grounded, wily
goat. The energies of expression may change,
but
the physical container is defined (via bone structure) by the
ascendant.
Consequently, Nicolas shows many qualities typical of a Centaur.
He has a long face and jaw, and like a horse, the neck stretches out
far
beyond the shoulders. Also, the lengthy thighs and arms accent a
lanky body. Moon: Libra With Venus on his Sun’s ruling planet Saturn, Nicolas has “substantial” appeal. With a Venus-ruled Moon sextile Saturn, the hardened granite edges are softened and he appears noticeably lighter and talkative— particularly when he becomes emotional. Often, with Saturn’s link-up, the lethargic side of Libra shows— giving his thick lashed eyes a “sleepy” and effeminate quality. Fortunately, these Venusian energies are well integrated and well used; Cage’s work and his art become inseparable. ~~~~~~ Our Prediction was right! No more macho films. |

Sun:
Aquarius
At Oprah’s birth, the heavens
indicated
that there would be a potential for “fixed air” to find new levels of
expression.
Not only was the sun in Aquarius, four planets were in Air signs and
five
planets were in fixed signs. Notably, many people were born with
these astrological opportunities, but it was Oprah who had the will and
determination to use these gifts to become one of the truly original
communicators
of our time. Expressing Aquarius’ humani- tarian ideals, she
revolutionized
talk-show television by making her audience part of a greater social
consciousness.
In Oprah, we see the Aquarius mental process— which works like an “electronic capacitor”. The electricity is stored “on hold”. When it reaches its programmed threshold, it releases its energy. You can see the process in a nano-second freeze-frame of time, when Oprah’s entire body goes on hold. The eyes appear to look more inward than outward, the fingers lock to become rigid “antennas”, and the breath seizes with a deep gasp. (This draws the mouth tightly down, exposes the lower gum and creates a facial expression which reflects awe and surprise). In this moment, Oprah |
 Positively, this anchor has made her practical and prosperous. It also instilled a commanding “sense of duty” which (in earlier years) restricted her personal feelings and relationships. Moon:
Sagittarius
When Oprah reacts to others — the
fires
ignite, the spirit soars, and we get an emotional respond that is
uplifting
and exuberant: “Wow” ...”Amazing” ... “That’s wonderful!” Watch
how
the eyes spark as the gestures become animated and scattered.
When
the archer’s arrows “fly to the moon”, you can feel the emotions
expand,
open up and widen as they become more |
accepting and bigger in scope. Perhaps
this is why Oprah places few judgements on others.
In combination with that eternally hopeful Sun Sign, we get a personality
that is irresistible. It’s no wonder she’s everybody’s
friend! Ascendant:
Virgo???
Oprah’s Virgo ascendant is
sextile
to that previously mentioned Saturn— which adds to her urge to
dutifully
serve others. It also influences her outward appearance and
public
personae. Like most Virgo risings, she is always meticulously
quaffed
and conventionally dressed. This mask makes her more inquisitive
and chatty but it also keeps the Aquarius from becoming too
radical
and revolutionary. Unlike other “trash-talk” shows, Oprah remains
respectful and attempts to keep appearances dignified and proper. (The
recent Monica Lewinsky money demands were beyond her acceptable limits).
Virgo is Oprah’s only connection to earth and it’s substantial presence makes those abstract Aquarian thoughts easier to digest. It also influences the subject and nature of her show. (Many shows examine self-help, diet and health concerns). |

With Sun/Mars square Moon and her Pluto square Uranus/Venus in the 7th house, you expect difficult marriages & provocative associ- ates (like Michael Jackson and Rock Hudson). With a Pisces Sun, you expect transformational changes, but nothing like Liz's miraculous magic, where she resurrects her natural beauty again and again, seemingly at "Each and Every Time She Falls in Love". Oh, the power of love! When Liz's Pisces Sun is expressed, her deep purple eyes widen and her face fostens and rounds. Expressions change fluidly as she emphathizes with the surrounding mix of feelings. |
 Ascendant: Libra |
This Moon placement gives her compassionate and wavering Pisces Sun the determination and strength to battle for her convictions. With Pluto in the tenth, she may be best remember- ed for her valiant fight against AIDS-- and for her lovely gift of revealing that those mysterious rejuventation secrets are possible for all of us.
