 Sun and Ascendant: Sagittarius
Tina Turner is a true Centaurian thoroughbred. The animal nature of her sign becomes apparent when she gallops on stage, kicks the air, rears her head and tosses her reddish hued mane.
Tina has her Sun, Ascendant, Mercury and Venus in Sagittarius; Also Saturn and Pluto are in fire signs. It’s no wonder she’s such a bundle of energy! In addition to her Sagittarius, Jupiter and Neptune are placed in mutable signs. This makes her “wild-fire” even more restless and changeable.
Tina clearly demonstrates how these abundant fire and mutable energies affect human expression. As she gyrates on stage, you may notice how the fires burn in a criss-crossing “Mobius” pattern. Any fiery outburst on one side of the body seems to be quickly reversed by a “back draft” which draws the torch to the other side of the body. These “bi-cameral” firings are most noticeable in the rotating movements of the body’s dual extremities— the hands, arms and legs. (They also can be seen in subtler facial expressions). A hand gesture on the right may shimmer and shake, then turn to create a countering left-handed flare up. A high step to the right is followed by a skip to the left. Any forward surge ends up moving to one side or the other, then to the rear. A upturned smile on the left raises the right eyebrow. Unlike the blowtorch of Aries or the concentrated heat of Leo, Tina’s fires divide and spread in all directions. Perhaps that’s why her energy seems inextinguishable.
Tina shows several other physical traits associated with Sagittarius. Note the high cranial dome, the long neck, the large thighs, the broad frontal teeth and the horsey eyes that slant upward on the outer sides. (You may also notice that these Centaurian eyes constantly twinkle).
Moon: Taurus
Like a bull in a china shop, Tina creates quite a commotion. At 29 degrees of earthy Taurus, her Moon creates a sextile to her fiery Sun and Pluto. This arrangement suggests that those “red flags of fire” can easily arouse her bullish emotions; In contrast, it still allows her to slow down, enjoy the moment, relax and “smell the roses”.
But, as we saw in “Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome”, Tina grounds down when she becomes emotionally attached to her valuable possessions. These Venusian objects heighten her senses as well as her sensuality. Watch how the nostrils widen and the eye brows fix. Listen to how the Sagittarius laugh shortens into a contented snort of pleasure— when she responds to those earthly delights.
Alas! Such tranquility is short lived, for this restless horse desires to break free from Fixed Earth’s confining energies. After a quick graze, she’s ready to bolt— and race off across the plains to pursue greater trails and greener pastures.
