Paula Abdul is no stranger to the spotlight. An accomplished dancer, choreographer, singer and TV star, her diverse talents makes her the poster girl for her Gemini Sun sign.
Paula Abdul is a Gemini, born June 19, 1962 in Los Angeles at 2:32 pm. She got her start as a Los Angeles Lakers Girl, and today she cheers for contestants on the wildly popular 'American Idol.' Gemini is adaptable, friendly, easygoing and also one of the perkiest signs of the zodiac. Its versatility has enabled Paula to transform herself from dancer to choreographer to pop singer to television star. Clearly, though, ambition underlies her bubbly personality. Her Moon -- which represents moods and habits -- is in serious Capricorn, the most disciplined and hardworking sign of the zodiac. While Paula's chatty Gemini personality gives the impression that she's a lightweight, the density of that Capricorn Moon paints a very different picture, one that's motivated, complex and much more serious than the bubble-gum image that's made her famous.
Paula's appeal comes from her combination of competence and vulnerability. She understands how important it is to encourage talent, probably as a result of her own insecurities. No matter how high Capricorn Moons climb, they're aware of how much it took to get there and how easy it is to fall from the ladder of success. Paula's long absence from the public eye prior to 'American Idol' is a reminder of the uncertainties of show business. She praises others lavishly, probably because she needs as much praise in return. Venus -- the planet of appreciation -- was in Leo when she was born, indicating a higher-than-average requirement for approval. Demanding Saturn opposing her Venus has taught her how hard it can be to get and keep love, making it an even more precious commodity.

Some accuse her of lacking discrimination since she finds something positive to say about every 'Idol' performance, even the amateurish ones. The same could be said for how she gushes over attractive young men half her age. Venus-Saturn people are generally not so demonstrative, but Neptune -- the planet of romance and fantasy -- forms a tense right-angle square to Paula's Venus and Saturn that wears down the boundaries of restraint with a desire to embrace everyone
except Simon Cowell, of course. Imaginative Neptune's opposition to Paula's Mars, the planet of action in physical Taurus, is perfect for a dancer who uses her body to express her feelings. This combination can also account for her often bizarre behavior and carelessness behind the wheel.
Paula was born with charming Libra rising in her chart, projecting her personality through a window of apparent kindness and openness to others. This rising sign can also represent a delicate balance in her life between Saturn's sense of control and Neptune's tendency to float. Fortunately, her Gemini Sun duality allows her to glide from total pro to insecure amateur and back again with a dancer's grace.
