Annie Lennox

Who are some of the famous people born under the Sun sign of Capricorn? The first one that comes to my mind is Annie Lennox truly my favourite female performer. Annie Lennox was born on December 25, 1954 in Aberdeen, Scotland. She was an only child. Annie had piano lessons at school from the age of seven years old, she loved music and she loved to sing – although introverted and shy – not surprising in a Capricorn child. A natural musician, she was accepted into London’s Royal Academy of Music where she studied the classical flute. What came next was a minor success with the former band Tourists and a major international success when Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart formed Eurythmics. Her trademark – the most beautiful and soulful voice with contralto overtones, strikingly attractive lady dressed in a man’s suit and with a boyish haircut. There is a slight hint of sorrow in her songs – Capricornian seriousness, old soul melancholy (Here Comes the Rain Again), searching for answers (Why?) and perseverance. Reaching new heights over and over again, reinventing her style but staying true to simplicity and class is another Capricorn trademark. Capricorn never gives up and he or she keeps refining everything to the smallest detail. Annie Lennox later continued with her solo career in the 90s with her debut album Diva. Today Annie Lennox continues to produce wonderful music (my favourite – A Christmas Cornucopia) and is a tireless political activist and philanthropist.
