Whitney Houston
Born on 9 August 1963 in Newark. Without a public birth time, no rising sign: here is what the date and place can calculate.
You and Whitney Houston
What you are trying to become
You do things large or not at all. You need it to be seen, and lukewarm stings more than a flat no.
The Sun rules this sign: the only body in the chart that makes its own light. The brightest star of the constellation is Regulus, “the little king”.
You give in front of everyone. What you want back is to be truly looked at.
Why?
What you are trying to become, and what you need to be recognised for. In Leo, it is done large or not at all. You need it to be seen, and lukewarm stings more than a flat no. At home. What it governs runs without resistance — the ground where you do not have to force anything.
What settles you
Your mood goes up like a match. An annoyance, and it is already said. Ten minutes later it is over for you, and you are surprised it lasts for others.
The zodiac starts here, at the March equinox. Mars rules this sign, and the Sun is exalted in it.
What settles you is acting: walking, doing, sorting it out right now.
Why?
What settles you and what puts you on alert, before any conscious decision. In Aries, it starts before it is ready. You decide fast, correct on the move, and waiting costs you more than being wrong.
What draws you
What draws you has style. You like to give, to stage things, to make an occasion out of a Tuesday.
You give a lot, and you want to see it in the other person’s eyes.
Why?
What draws you in and what you offer — in love as in taste. In Leo, it is done large or not at all. You need it to be seen, and lukewarm stings more than a flat no.
What gets you moving
You hesitate to strike first. You weigh, you consult, you look for the way out that upsets nobody. But faced with an injustice, you stand up.
Libra is the only sign of the zodiac that isn’t a living thing: it is an instrument. It weighs, and it stops only when both pans are level.
Mars is in detriment in this sign. You fight your battles better for other people.
Why?
What you go after, and how you fight when you meet resistance. In Libra, it is measured against the other person. You adjust to whoever is across from you, until your own position blurs. Opposite its home: adverse ground. What it governs takes deliberate effort — and is worth working for exactly that reason.
How you think
You think by sorting. You see the typo in the text, the error in the sum, the extra word in the sentence.
Mercury rules this sign and is exalted in it, a case unique in the zodiac. The brightest star is Spica, the ear of wheat.
Mercury rules this sign and is also in exaltation here. Your mind does not rest while one detail is still wrong.
Why?
How you think and speak — the pace, the level of detail, what you keep to yourself. In Virgo, it gets settled in the details. You spot what is off before looking for it, and you say so. At home. What it governs runs without resistance — the ground where you do not have to force anything.
