Madonna, the wildly provocative, confrontational and always sexual pop phenomenon who crashed onto the scene four decades ago will be 60 next month. She’s never made a comeback since she’s never gone away and is now embarking on her 14th album, as well as directing an MGM film about a ballet dancer and adapting a novel for film.
Although she’s regarded not unfairly as a narcissist with a ‘gigantic, nuclear-strength ego, frying to a cinder all before it’ she’s also credited with being one of the great influencers including opening up gay culture to the mainstream.
Born 16 August 1958 in Bay City, MI (7.05am?) she’s not surprisingly a Sun Leo (the flamboyant entertainer’s sign), with her Sun sextile a lucky Jupiter and in a hard-working trine to Saturn. Her explosive and hard-edged qualities come from a determined Mars in Taurus square her Uranus and her Sun – when she decides to push, not much gets in her way. Her Moon is oddly enough in understated, worry-wart Virgo which is conjunct Mercury which in turn is conjunct Pluto and Pluto is conjunct her Sun – so when push comes to shove she’ll want to be in control.
Her love life has been a constant conveyor belt – with her Venus in Leo square her Neptune, she’ll be eternally hoping for a soul-mate; but her Moon trine Mars and (maybe) a 4th house Saturn, will make finding domestic contentment tricky.
She’s certainly not short of pushy confidence with her Jupiter/Pluto midpoint in aspect to both Mars and Uranus; or anger with her Sun tied into her ruthless Mars/Pluto and her Pluto aspects an unyielding Mars/Saturn. She likes to walk on the wild side.
Her creative and get-it-together, though also can-be-dominating 5th Harmonic is strong. Her 17H, leaving a legacy behind, is even more strongly marked; as is her ‘super-star’ 22nd harmonic.
Her chart shows a few mountains to climb in the next three years, though her confidence and luck won’t slide. With a real high coming in 2021/22 as tr Pluto squares her Jupiter.
