Prince

Two beings in one body, forever between: that is the secret of Prince. Born Prince Rogers Nelson on 7 June 1958 in Minneapolis, he carried a Gemini Sun, the marriage of the Sun and Mercury, the eternal twin whose vitality shines through versatility and boundless communication. No wonder he was a shape-shifting multi-instrumentalist who played nearly every part on his own records, held opposing truths at once, and could not be pinned to a single style, moving between funk, rock, soul, pop and jazz. That Sun sat in his seventh house of the other, so he shone through union and duet, forever collaborating, and even at war with a record label he transformed himself into a symbol.

His Moon in Pisces was the sponge, the psychic empath tuned to the source, gifting him divine imagination and the aching tenderness of Purple Rain and "Nothing Compares 2 U"; its shadow was the escapism that ended his life at fifty-seven in 2016. Rooted in his fourth house, that Moon made home his altar; Paisley Park held a vault of unreleased music. Rising in Scorpio, he wore the phoenix mask, androgynous and magnetic. Over one hundred million records: a true original.
