Howard Stern's radio show combines method and madness. He's an original who knows how to keep shocking his audience. The self-proclaimed "King of All Media" has the biggest contract in radio history and will work hard for every penny of it.
Howard Stern may not like to be called a "shock jock," but for almost three decades his unique brand of raunch radio has sent ripples through the broadcast industry. He's been fined by the FCC, and he cleared out of Clear Channel to sign a record 100 million dollar deal with Sirius Satellite Radio. Born January 12, 1954, Howard is a Capricorn, usually considered one of the most conservative signs of the zodiac. And while Richard Nixon was an excellent example of the sign's uptight side, Capricorns often show up on the sexy side of the street too. Elvis' pelvis thrust him into the worldwide spotlight. David Bowie is a Capricorn whose gender-bending style shook the 70s. Now in his fifties, Howard Stern is still cashing in on the type of low-brow adolescent humor that most guys leave behind in college.

Uranus is the planet of shock, so it's no surprise that it plays an important role in Howard Stern's birth chart. It was directly opposite his Sun, Mercury, and Venus -- all in Capricorn -- at his birth, which makes for an unconventional individual. Uranus' connection with the Sun often signifies a rebel or outsider, a person who is here to shake society out of its stupor. High-frequency Uranus' connection to Howard's Mercury -- planet of mind and communication -- makes him a fast talker and all-around smart aleck.
With Uranus opposite Venus -- planet of love, beauty, and pleasure -- Howard isn't what you'd call a tender-hearted romantic. This connection is more commonly associated with the kind of wham-bam-thank-you-m'am sexuality Stern celebrates daily. It's kegger consciousness for guys and gals who aren't looking to settle down, but want fun with a no-strings approach to relationships.

If Howard Stern was simply a crude funny guy, though, he would have worn out his welcome years ago. In spite of the outrageous behavior on his show, he has a dash of innocence that makes him endearing. His Moon is in either Aries or Taurus -- the exact time of his birth is necessary to know which. These are the first two signs of the zodiac, and represent a relatively simple emotional nature. Aries and Taurus are uncomplicated, often exuding a childlike quality. Howard may be an ambitious Capricorn, but he still feels like a kid.
That kid, though, is a hard worker, as are most Goats. There's an extra push in his chart that comes from assertive Mars conjunct -- or next to -- serious and disciplined Saturn, the planet that rules Capricorn. Howard Stern's act may seem as disorganized as a frat party, but the madness is well-planned. The shocks continue to work because Howard is dead-serious about his seemingly chaotic art.
