Cher's success was built on a glamorous image that's a far cry from what she knew as a child. The singer-actress is a Taurus with her Moon in Capricorn, a double dose of earthy reality that tends to keep her humble regardless of how high she flies.
Cheryl Sarkisian LaPiere, better known as Cher, was born May 20, 1946 at 7:25 a.m. in El Centro, California. The world-famous singer and actress has the Sun in Taurus, a grounded earth sign better known for comfort and simplicity than Bob Mackie gowns. Cher is, in fact, an earthy individual with Mercury, the planet of the mind, in Taurus and the emotionally-oriented Moon in Capricorn. Taurus, Capricorn and Virgo make up the earth sign trinity, a trio rooted in reality that's geared more toward production than promises. Cher, for all her success and glamour, never seems pretentious. Behind the fancy outfits and high-priced home is a woman whose tastes may not be simple, but whose feet are solidly on the ground. It is true that Taurus appreciates luxury, as long as it's attained at a reasonable price. A solid sense of values is basic for this sign, but so is a sensual side that loves the feel of fine things and the taste of good food and drink. It's doubtful that Cher has squandered the millions she's earned in show business, though. In spite of her romantic misadventures, we're unlikely to hear about a pending bankruptcy that would force her from her luxurious L.A. life. She knows what it's like to do without and does not take her considerable good fortune lightly.
Cher's Moon in survivalist Capricorn was opposite Saturn when she was born. This challenging 180-degree angle between earth's sensitive satellite and the ringed planet of responsibility shows that she was raised with a clear sense of how hard life can be. Saturn is Capricorn's key or ruling planet, sending a double message of caution that reins in extravagance with a clear sense of the bottom line. There's a no-nonsense side about Cher that has always been part of her charm. She seems very much like a regular person, albeit one with more talent than most, who enjoys her fame with the appreciation of one raised in humble surroundings. The earthy Sun in Taurus and Moon in Capricorn help Cher earn our trust, in spite of the phase she went through in her forties: wearing ridiculously skimpy outfits that revealed most of her well-toned butt. She has an inner dignity -- a gift from her Capricorn Moon -- that has always allowed her to laugh at her showbiz self without seeming foolish.

Cher has Mars -- the action planet -- in bold Leo, conjoined with sultry Pluto, an appropriate match for the showy sexuality that's marked her career. The glamour girl role is a game for her, a bit of theater that's great fun, but primarily part of doing business. Venus -- the planet of style associated with Taurus -- was in dualistic Gemini, which is why Cher can be fashionable or funky with equal ease. She's a strong-willed woman, but when it comes to Venus' worlds of romance and fashion, she's no stubborn Bull. The Gemini influence here is more about quick changes than lifelong commitments, which means we're likely to see a few more versions of Cher in the future.
