German-born Heidi Klum is a superstar model who has made 'Project Runway' one of the most fashionable shows on television. With five planets in the communication sign of Gemini, it's no surprise that she's found success in more than one medium.
Heidi Klum is a super Gemini. Born on June 1, 1973, the model, actress and 'Project Runway' host has five planets in this multifaceted air sign. Heidi's Sun (symbol of identity) and Moon (planet of emotions) in Gemini reflect a need for movement and change in her life. Heidi has certainly fulfilled that with her diverse career and personal life. Heidi grew up near Cologne, Germany, entered a modeling contest, and eventually came to the U.S. after a successful career in Europe. She's married to the singer Seal with whom she has two children. Seal, born and raised in England, is of Brazilian and Nigerian descent. The family, then, has ties to five countries on four continents -- that's diversity.
Fans of 'Project Runway' know that Heidi speaks English perfectly, with just a faint trace of her native accent. Gemini is the communication sign, and is especially well-suited for languages. Mercury, the sign's ruling planet, is also in Gemini in Heidi's chart. This adds a high degree of mental and verbal dexterity that makes it possible for her to shift languages easily. Gemini is also a bit of a mimic, which may be why her accent is so good. This sign is more concerned with the flow of information than the content itself. It's generally objective and more into making and maintaining connections than making a statement. The easy, breezy qualities of Gemini are perfect for the fast-changing world of today's media.
Heidi Klum, though, didn't become famous for her language skills. Her fame and fortune were built on her face and figure. 'Sports Illustrated' swimsuit models like Heidi don't need to talk; they just need to look good. The intelligence of her Mercury-ruled mental sign is a plus, but Venus, the Goddess of Beauty, comes first in any model's pantheon. Heidi's Venus is, not surprisingly, in Gemini, which shows her versatility. Her striking appearance shines through in magazines, on the runway and in television. Electric Uranus in a harmonious 120-degree trine to her Venus gives her exceptional beauty that stands out from the crowd. And,serious Saturn conjunct Heidi's Venus shows the respect she has for her gifts and the willingness to work hard to nurture them. The management qualities of Saturn are, perhaps, why Heidi is not just a judge and gracious host of 'Project Runway,' but also the show's Executive Producer.
