John Bon Jovi spent his adolescence in late-seventies New Jersey cutting class to play music with his friend David Rashbaum. Upon moving to New York City, he landed a janitorial job at his cousin's famous Power Station recording studio, where he was able to connect with members of the E Street Band, also from New Jersey, and get their help in recording demo songs. When one of the demos, 'Runaway,' became a sudden radio hit in 1980, Bongiovi changed his name to Jon Bon Jovi (which sounded far more rock 'n' roll than his more ethnic given name) and banded together with Rashbaum and three others to form Bon Jovi, the group that would become the top pop-metal band of the '80s and early '90s. Bon Jovi, the man, was the heart, soul and brains behind Bon Jovi, the band; he penned many of the songs that went into the hit albums that ultimately sold more than 75 million copies by the end of the 1980s alone. Bon Jovi idolized Bruce Springsteen but never got into writing lyrical ballads as the Boss did; instead he stuck to his interest in blue collar rock and wrote simpler songs with an edge that appealed to teenage rockers and housewives alike. His movie star good looks didn't hurt the band's popularity, of course, and also aided in the singer's segue into film. These days he's starred in more than fifteen films and television shows, including 2000's World War II drama U-571 opposite Matthew McConaughey and a 1998 episode of HBO's saucy Sex and the City. The band also reunited in 2000 to release Crush, a very solid, very radio-friendly album. What's in the Stars for the man behind the band?

With his Sun and Venus in Pisces in the Fifth House and a Libra Ascendant, it's no wonder Bon Jovi is such a sweetheart. Pisces is a very sensitive, loving and romantic Sign, and those born under its influence are imaginative, sympathetic and able to connect intuitively with others.

With his Sun Trine Neptune, an aspect that fosters empathy and compassion, Bon Jovi is likely to be especially sensitive, very artistic and an imaginative dreamer. The Fifth House placement of these two Planets heightens Pisces's innate creativity and lends Bon Jovi a good dose of artistic ability. Venus in the Fifth House promotes happy romance in his life, helping to explain his solid, long-term relationship with his wife, Dorothea, who was his high school sweetheart. Bon Jovi's Ascendant (or Rising Sign, which speaks to how he's seen by others) in Libra only further underscores that romanticism; Libra is the Sign of Partnerships and tends to be in love with love.  Also, good looks are common with Libra Rising, and Bon Jovi's Sun Conjuncts Venus, which heightens those good looks and lends him a natural charm and popularity. With Libra Rising and a Pisces Sun and Venus that are Conjunct, he not only seems to be sweet, charming and romantic, he really is.
