Mariah Carey and Astrology

Site Homepage

Date of birth: 27th March, Star sign: Aries

Born under an Aries Sun, Mariah is a feisty and independent woman who wants to be the best. She probably has a competitive streak and always likes to come first. To her credit, Mariah has the enthusiasm and initiative to be front-page news. With her Sun Conjunct Mercury, Mariah's will to act on all her many ideas is further strengthened. Nervous energy is the order of the day here - both good and bad.

Mariah's Sun and Mercury both find themselves Opposite Uranus, the Planet of Rebellion, in her chart. The Sun's Opposition to Uranus is anything but subtle, presenting us with a woman who is wilful to the point of being dictatorial. Mercury's Opposition to Uranus sounds off in the form of inconsistent ideas, radical points of view and myriad controversies. The singer's actions will get her into trouble from time to time, but she'll get a lot done, too.

Thanks to her Mercury in Aries, Mariah won't always think before she speaks. That may be why she's quick to talk about a very familiar subject - herself. Mariah is fast on her feet, loves to mix it up and is a fighter when it comes to verbal sparring. With her Venus, Planet of Love, also in Aries, Mariah can be a bit selfish in the game of love.

The singer is aggressive and competitive when it comes to relationships, although she is also deliciously sociable and delightfully romantic. This placement further indicates that Mariah is likely to spend her money as quickly as she makes it. Lastly, with her Venus unaspected in the heavens (making no aspects to any Planets or points), Carey's romantic persona may be somewhat disconnected from the rest of her personality.

Her Mars in Taurus brings Mariah back to terra firma. The Bull's meeting with the Planet of Passion signals strength and determination, but of a more measured and purposeful variety. The songstress will get the things she wants (like money), albeit in due course. Since Mars is Conjunct stern Saturn here, Mariah will see to it that she's always got a plan and is working steadily towards it.
