Mariah Carey (Musician)

Shrinking violet' is not a phrase that describes Aries Mariah Carey. The songbird in the short, short dress knows that glamour plus vocal prowess equals mega-success. However, life wasn't always so simple for this diva, who penned tunes in high school in the hopes of being recognized by someone in the music business. Her dream came true when Sony honcho Tommy Mottola saw promise in the young singer and signed her right up. Tommy married Mariah, too, but that deal turned out to be less than successful. Not even a famous film flop or relentless tabloid attention could keep this talent down. With numerous hit albums and Grammy Awards under her belt, Mariah continues to dazzle her fans. What's in the stars that makes this diva so divine?

Birth Details:
March 27, 1970
Huntington, New York

Born under an Aries Sun, Carey is a feisty and independent woman who wants to be the best. She probably has a major competitive streak and is an A student in the school of 'me first!' Much to her credit, Carey has the enthusiasm and initiative to be front-page news. With her Sun conjunct Mercury, Mariah's will to act on all her many ideas is further strengthened. Nervous energy is the order of the day here -- both good and bad. Carey's Sun and Mercury both find themselves opposite Uranus, the planet of rebellion, in her chart. The Sun's opposition to Uranus is anything but subtle, presenting us with a woman who is willful to the point of being dictatorial. Mercury's opposition to Uranus sounds off in the form of inconsistent ideas, radical points of view and myriad controversies. The singer's actions will get her into trouble from time to time, but she'll get a lot done too.

Thanks to her Mercury in Aries, Carey won't always think before she speaks. That may be why she's quick to talk about a very familiar subject -- herself! Yes, Mariah is fast on her feet; she loves to mix it up and is a fighter when it comes to verbal sparring. With her Venus, planet of love, also in Aries, Ms. Carey can be a bit selfish in the game of love. The singer is aggressive and competitive when it comes to relationships, although she is also deliciously sociable and delightfully romantic. This placement further indicates that Carey is likely to spend her money as quickly as she makes it. Lastly, with her Venus unaspected in the heavens (making no aspects to any planets or points), Carey's romantic persona may be somewhat disconnected from the rest of her personality.

Her Mars in Taurus brings Carey back to terra firma. The Bull's meeting with the planet of passion still signals strength and determination, but of a more measured and purposeful variety. This songstress will get the things she wants (like money), albeit in due course. Since Mars is conjunct stern Saturn here, Carey will see to it that she's always got a plan and is working steadily toward it.
