Analysis of Stevie Wonder's astrological chart

Angular Venus and Neptune in Charge

This exceptional musician has a theme that shows a personality, which is both charismatic and super energetic. It must be said that both his dominant signs and most important planets highlight the development of artistic dispositions.

A Taurus native with an Ascendant in Libra, Stevie Wonder is under the double influence of Venus. As we know, this planet rules arts in general and the aesthetic sense as well. Even so, with the characteristic power of his natal sign, Stevie Wonder was able to create a colossal work, with many styles or genres.

In his house, Venus is conjunct with the Moon, the two planets being in Aries and ruling the Descendant. They color his way of interacting with others in an extremely spontaneous and evolving manner, through kindness, but sometimes with the risk of possessing a few whims or coming across mood swings.

Coming back to the artistic side, Neptune reinforces such a temperament, being positioned on the Ascendant. It describes the ego of a singer-songwriter, who craves to make a strong impact on the crowds. It should be noted that Neptune is very often important in the sky charts of singers, poets, or painters.

Today, Stevie Wonder has sold more than 100 million albums, received several awards, and seduced the entire planet, which turns him into one of the greatest artists. Over here, the stars are quite eloquent regarding his exceptional destiny.

A Destiny Under the Sign of Plutonian Passion

With a Sun in close conjunction to Mercury, both in square to Pluto, he is extremely demanding, which is a great asset, as it has enabled him to overcome the initial difficulties of his life. Extremely premature, Stevie Wonder, the third child in a family of six, lost his sight following various successful attempts to keep him alive.

Despite his family's lack of financial well-being, he remembers having had a happy childhood, where he had the opportunity to learn to play many instruments. His mother was sensitive to his talents, and although her job as a waitress kept her busy, she wrote several songs with her son.

It is possible that this maternal influence was represented by an angular Moon, that forms multiple aspects. One spoke about the conjunction to Venus above, let's also mention the trine to Pluto - the instinctive capacity for resilience - and opposed to Neptune.

Jupiterian Abundance and Uranian Singularity

Angular Neptune in Libra faces the Moon-Venus duo in Aries. Due to which, there is a sort of tension between his desire to please everyone, to be charming, friendly, respectful, and the fierier sides of Aries, which can lead to a few stunts at times.

Fortunately for him, Mars, ruler of the sign and in Virgo, is very well disposed in relation to the Sun and Mercury, which provides him with a skill and the need to be precise in everything he does.

We can see this when he signed his first contract with a record company, he was barely 11 then (Mercury often indicates precocity when it is in harmonious aspects). He was then nicknamed "Stevie the Little Wonder", a perfect nickname for his Moon-Venus component, which likes to attract compliments.

After having garnered some initial successes, he came across a brief and sensitive phase in his life, when his voice changed. His producer gave him his "last chance": he didn't need to give him one more. From the age of 20, Stevie Wonder wanted to take charge of the production of his albums on his own. A typical decision, once again of a good Sun-Mercury aspect (the latter ruling the sector of contracts, just like Mercury which manages communication) connected to Mars.

It is interesting to see that in Stevie Wonder's sky chart, each critical aspect is balanced by other positive ones. This is probably why the singer has always described himself as lucky.

Indeed, this notion of an "escape route" from the delicate aspects of a chart is essential: the most delicate ones of the squares or the most negative ones of the oppositions, when they receive a positive aspect from one or more planets, they are in a way "rescued", and it is in the sectors where the planets are found in trine or in sextile of the negative aspect, that the native is able to surpass or quietly manage his vulnerabilities. When, on the contrary, nothing eases a square or an opposition, it is more difficult or slower to overcome the challenge in sight, even if maturity may help.

Neptune, the Bohemian Side, and the Genius

Artistically speaking, Stevie Wonder benefits from a magnificent Jupiter in domicile within Pisces, in a tight trine to Uranus in Cancer. This aquatic trine intensifies the singer's sensitivity and creativity, especially since it takes action in the 5th house, linked to arts, hobbies, creations, and recreations.

Jupiter brings abundance, Uranus singularity, and the Water sign bond reinforces intuition and the flair for keeping up with the times.

Let's get back to this Neptune, synonymous with imagination and shrewdness, but also with the need to share with an audience. For Stevie Wonder, it is not a question of being confined to the classic, he wants to reach out to everyone. In the 1970s, he was already at the peak of his popularity and reigned as the undisputed master of soul. We find further proof of the Neptunian influence through the title of one of his greatest hits: Superstition, a song released in 1972 that really stuck with him.

This propensity for abundance then encouraged him, since the 80s, to give a more commercial orientation to his records. This is when he got involved in many projects that paid tribute to great artists such as Bob Marley or within the USA community for Africa.

According to Giles Smith, a music critic for the New Yorker, the artist's secret lies quite simply in his talent. "He is revered for the magnitude and density of his pop catalog, most of these songs have turned into hits. He is celebrated as this child from a disadvantaged background who, over time, became an international star. He is commended as one of the most gifted and influential singers of his generation, but also as a brilliant pianist, a virtuoso of the harmonica, and a true pioneer of the music industry."

Though he had been a workhorse for a long time, a typical Taurus quality, Stevie Wonder managed to distance himself from his creativity for several decades. According to experts, he would have been all over what he wanted to offer and was now more oriented towards the political message.

Therefore, he supported Barack Obama during his first campaign and mainly took part in ceremonies or other tributes of personalities. It seems that this Neptunian took pleasure in being surrounded by some mystery.

Interesting Transits on the Agenda

With Uranus closing in on his Sun-Mercury duo, we can expect some pleasant surprises from the latter sometime in 2023, starting in June.

And all the more so, since the passage of Jupiter in Aries and in conjunction with his Moon Venus duo, will take place next February, a transit which should be rather promising on the emotional level, in a globally positive planetary context.
