His tune Changes could certainly provide an apt description of David Bowie himself. The 'Chameleon of Pop' has a multiple-decade-spanning career in which he has served to change with and define music and fashion trends.

While growing up in challenging circumstances in London, Bowie developed an interest in music, which led him to learn to play the guitar and the saxophone. After high school, he temporarily teamed up with a band before breaking off into his own solo endeavors. In 1969, Bowie earned his first U.K. hit with the single Space Oddity, which also tore up the charts upon release in the U.S. Glam rock and gender-bending costuming colored Bowie's stint as Ziggy Stardust in the early '70s. Many other personas and several more hits followed, including successful collaborations with the likes of Queen, Tina Turner and Mick Jagger. Bowie also turned his talents toward the silver screen, appearing in a variety of films. Always hip to the latest emerging trends, Bowie launched his own Website/Internet service provider and continues to know what's up in the music world. He is a survivor of drug addiction and husband to gorgeous, exotic supermodel Iman (and father of her child). How does he do that? The Stars may have a hunch ...

Birth details:

January 8, 1947

Brixton, London, England

A Capricorn Sun sheds some light on Bowie's business savvy and ambition.

This is, after all, the man who sold himself on Wall Street in a $55 million bond deal. The Goat makes for a person who cautiously plans things out every step of the way, constantly working toward their goal-which of course is the top! Hardworking and conscientious, Bowie seeks security and stability; gaining some fame along the way wouldn't be too shabby, either. His Sun makes a Square to Neptune, indicative of a creative and intuitive person.

The man of many personas and talents has a vivid imagination and a wild fantasy life.

With his Moon in Leo, the artist once known as Ziggy Stardust has creativity and imagination galore. The loud and proud Lion ensures that everything he does will be bigger and better. A natural performer, he has a flair for the dramatic and fairly sparkles with charisma.

The Planet of Communication, Mercury, finds itself in Capricorn

alongside

Bowie's Sun. Realistic and practical to the core, Bowie is

self-disciplined

and detailed when going after his goals. He has a flypaper memory for facts and figures, as these might come in handy sometime further down the road.

When it comes to matters of the heart, Bowie has Venus cozying up to Sagittarius, making him someone who likes to have his freedom.  Adventure and excitement color his relationships, leading him to have a taste for the new, different and exotic. Iman had better be able to keep up with this adventurer! Venus Trine Saturn, the Planet of Responsibility and Discipline, in Bowie's chart has a slowing effect on the fiery influence of the Archer, and signals that long-term relationships could be better suited to Bowie (who has been with Iman for almost a decade).

Bowie's Mars, the Planet of Passion, is in Capricorn (yes, the Goat again!).

Bowie's energy goes toward fulfilling all his ambitious; he's determined to fulfill his long-term plan. His Mars Conjunct the Sun makes him even more of a go-getter and adds quite a bit more oomph to the Goat's natural ambition.
