Quick to redefine herself whenever necessary, Cher proved irresistible to a skinny fellow named Sonny Bono who had lofty ambitions. Crooning pop tunes such as 'I Got You, Babe' and 'The Beat Goes On' helped launch the duo's singing and television career, but their reign (and marriage) were short-lived despite Cher's sexy TV garb. No matter: This diva re-launched her career as a sultry songstress and followed that stint with some respectable acting. From Mermaids to Silkwood to Moonstruck, Cher proved her range and showed the world that she was someone of substance, even picking up an Oscar along the way. To top it all off, she recently reinvented herself as 'Comeback Queen' with her disco-meets-techno single 'Believe,' which reached the top of the charts worldwide. What keeps this diva rocking the entertainment world? The Stars have an idea!

Birth Details:

May 20, 1946

El Centro, California

Cher is persistent, determined and materialistic, earthy and sensuous, as well as a stable, dependable and loyal friend and lover. Taureans are patient and thorough, which helps to explain why Cher has succeeded time and again despite significant odds; she simply refuses to give up! Cher, like most Taureans, can be a bit self-indulgent at times- and more than a little bit possessive. Being born so close to the Gemini Sun helps explain her smarts: She's an intellectual whose primary urge is communication, and through communication, connection.

With her Moon in Capricorn, Cher is most comfortable as a responsible and cautious individual. This woman's successes have not been a trifling matter to her at all. With Capricorn's influence shining down on her, she's had the benefit of a hardworking, economical sensibility to help her along the way.

She may have appeared to be something of a happy-go-lucky airhead next to Sonny's wicked wit, but you can bet that Cher played along with the full knowledge that this was her ticket to success. She also likely entered her relationship with Sonny partly on the basis of knowing he could help her get both seen and heard. With both her Sun and Moon in Earth Signs, Cher is indeed a grounded woman, one who has a practical approach to love as well as money. Her emotions are also likely to be rather well-controlled, a key ingredient in her quest for success.

As her Venus is in Gemini, Cher needs to be matched intellectually where affairs of the heart are concerned, lest she get bored. She's a real thinker who gets most turned on by someone who challenges her ideas and encourages her to clarify her own thinking. While Sonny knew how to pull her strings, Cher may have wanted more from their relationship than he was able to provide. He did help launch her career, however, which may have been the bargain she sought.

Cher's Mercury, the Planet of Communication, also lies in Taurus, meaning that she'll exhibit common sense and prudent judgment along with the ability to concentrate when needed. Her Mars in Leo may be the force behind her raw star power, however; she can be a drama queen at times, which helps explain her plethora of shockingly sheer outfits! As Mars rules our passions, sexual and otherwise, Cher will often find herself leading the charge, exhibiting a willpower and determination that can be quite seductive.
