A singer-songwriter from the North Carolina hills, Leo Tori Amos may well get her knack for storytelling and her sense of tenderness and lost love from her down-home roots. It has certainly served her well, since this young musician's songs have won her a cadre of loyal fans. A piano prodigy early on, Amos refused to conform to music academy rules; instead, she struck out on her own, moving to L.A. and joining an alternative band. Striking out on her own was clearly a wise move, since it gave Amos the opportunity to showcase her considerable talents. Yes, the gal voted 'Most Likely to Succeed' in high school has surely done that, along with performing many good works, such as advocacy on behalf of battered women and victims of rape.

Birth details:

August 22, 1963

Newton, NC

Born under a Leo Sun, Amos is a creative and idealistic woman who Makes others look up to her with her dramatic, individualist ways. With her Sun Conjunct Uranus, it's easy to see that Amos marches to the beat of a different drummer (or is that pianist?). Amos's Sun is also Opposite

stern Saturn here, which points to having issues with authority. Finally, her Sun is also Conjunct Venus; this indicates she's charming and attractive, making her very palatable as a musician and as a hero. Thanks to a Libra Moon, Amos is diplomatic and as harmonious as a C-chord.

Amos also enjoys being in a relationship and loves to communicate with others, making her a natural at songwriting. She wants to use her artistic sensibility to keep things peaceful and loving; why, then, does she write so many intensely sad or angry songs? Perhaps something else in her chart will reveal the answer.

With her Mercury in Virgo, Amos's thought processes and communication style are efficient, well thought out and practical. It may take awhile to get to know this woman, however; Virgo's influence leads her to hang back a bit, analyzing a situation or opportunity before throwing herself into it.

Her Venus, Planet of Love, in Leo tells us that Amos loves romance and will go after what (and whom) she wants. She's proud, dramatic and demonstrative as a lover and expects plenty of adoring appreciation for all the little gifts and indulgences she lavishes on her sweetheart. Since the Planet of Love is Opposite Saturn, however, Amos will stay in love long-term, but only with someone who is in tune with her harmonious Libra Moon.
