When he sings, 'You are the Sunshine of My Life,' the audience believes it. Stevie Wonder has a gift for entertaining his fans. What started as a love for music and a passion for rhythm has blossomed into a career spanning more than four decades.

Where does all this spirit come from? The Stars know.

Birth details:

May 13, 1950

Saginaw, Michigan

A Taurus Sun shone down on Stevie Wonder's birth. This comes as no surprise to those who have followed his career. With the dogged determination of the Bull, Wonder has turned what could have been insurmountable obstacles into favorable opportunities. Blind since birth and unable to spend much time outdoors, Wonder focused his energy at an early age on mastering

Musical instruments. With a Taurean down-to-earth outlook, he survived a near-fatal car crash and used it to bolster his zest for life.

His Mercury, the Planet of Communication, also lies in Taurus. This man won't listen if you say he's wrong-he'll just keep going until he proves he's right. He'll always be prepared, too. When he split from Motown Records early in his career because he didn't like how they portrayed his talent, he wasted no time in starting his own label and turning his career into a success on his terms.

With Venus in fiery Aries, Wonder may barrel into love without bothering to find out if he's falling in love with the person-or just with the idea of love itself. When the initial excitement wears off, he may find that his new amour isn't as fantastic as he first thought. Still, he's likely to shower that special someone with elaborate gifts and expects to be given the same treatment in return.

Passionate Mars is in staid Virgo in Wonder's chart, which means he's a man who thinks big and acts bigger. Virgos aren't likely to take a break from their important work, and Wonder is no exception. When he's not recording albums or writing new pieces, his work for causes and charities takes him all over the globe.

With four Cardinal, three Fixed and three Mutable Planets, Stevie's chart is well-balanced. Not only does he demonstrate that he knows how to start a project, he also has the follow-through that's necessary for succeeding in the long haul. With enough Earth Signs to keep him grounded, this star can let himself soar without fear of flying too high.
