Born: March 30, 1968, Charlemagne, Quebec, Canada
Known as La Petite Quebecoise as a child, Celine Dion -- the youngest of fourteen children born to musical parents -- started singing at the age of five and was performing professionally by her thirteenth birthday. Manager Rene Angelil saw big talent in the lass from Quebec and promoted her aggressively, which paid off handsomely in their native Canada as well as in France. Dions records have sold in the tens of millions on both sides of the pond, marking her as one of the most successful international singers ever. The songstress learned English in 1989 and turned her focus to the U.S. music market. Movies have been good to Dion, too, but not for her acting -- its soundtracks that are her domain. Scoring her first Grammy for the theme song from Beauty and the Beast, Dion also sang one of the most recognized movie anthems ever, My Heart Will Go On, from the movie Titanic. Dion and Angelil are now married and parents -- and Dions taking Vegas by storm.
Born with her Sun in Aries, Dion is unafraid to blaze a trail and is possessed of a competitive spirit that ensures that shell make her mark. The singer prefers to live in the present and loves to get things going -- lots of things, preferably all at once. Headstrong as well, she can be impatient if things arent moving along as quickly as shed like. Since her Sun is Conjunct Saturn, Dions Aries spunk gets the cold shoulder from the Planet of Discipline. The singer may struggle with her self-image -- and shell find the best tonic for this to be hard work.
With her Mercury in Pisces, Dion is an emoter of the first order. Mercury speaks to communication, while Pisces is all about feelings. Put the two together and you have a woman who communicates her feelings through words or, in this case, music. Many Pisces are musically inclined and also share a heightened emotional awareness. Consequently, its most natural for Dion to put her creative ideas into song.
Since Mercury is Conjunct Venus, the Planet of Love and Beauty, the divas appearance is always pleasing. Dions charm and grace are guaranteed, and shell find it easy to get along with others, including her legion of fans. This lady will also function best when in love, so her marriage to manager Angelil is a great match for many reasons. Mercury also finds itself Opposite Pluto in Dions chart, a signal that this woman knows how to get her message to the masses. Yes, that Titanic song did reach every corner of the globe! Plutos influence here will also put Dion in touch with dissenting opinions and better prepare her to deal with naysayers.
Thanks to Venus in Pisces as well, the musical marvel values love above all -- no wonder she sings those love songs so well. Romantic love is a theme near and dear to Dions heart, and while Pisces may make things a bit hazy at times, the singer wouldnt have it any other way. Since Venus is Opposite both Uranus and Pluto in her chart, Dions forays into love will certainly be interesting. Venus Opposite Uranus pegs the songstress as a lover of exotic types who is uncomfortable when bound by traditional commitments, but Venuss Opposition to Pluto speaks to overwhelming passion in love and marriage.
Its Mars in Taurus that marks the songstress as a determined woman. The Bulls practical yet determined approach reaps plentiful rewards, and thats exactly what these folks are after: money. Looks like the boffo-selling Dion is already there! Those graced by this placement are usually good in business; after dark, theyre sensuous, albeit somewhat jealous. Since her Mars is Trine Jupiter, the Planet of Good Fortune, look for Dion to be an enthusiastic and motivated individual. With Jupiter on the scene, plentiful luck is also part of the plan -- clearly.
