Aries and "The Edge Of Glory"

You must think I spend a lot of time in my car since I often write about songs that I have listened while driving and my thoughts come to me behind the wheel and yes, I do spend a lot of my time driving. This morning I heard a song by Lady Gaga  - The Edge of Glory. It was a nice and sunny day still a bit chilly though. This song made me think of everything Aries. With Aries there comes the Spring and our new hope. Yes, and there comes Easter too and family get together marathon begins. Easter egg hunts, spring cleaning and purging (after the egg hunt). As I was driving and listening to the song I wanted to drive faster, perhaps drive to the edge, drive somewhere I have never been before, have fun, dance, be that glamour girl I dream of being from time to time. See, this is what a little sunshine, no traffic and a nice wide road and Lady Gaga’s song on my radio do to me. Ok, there are many things I love about this season but let’s go back to Lady Gaga.
Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta known by her stage name Lady Gaga was born on March 28th, 1985. Lady Gaga is an American singer, songwriter, philanthropist and activist. Lady Gaga is as Aries as one can get – her Sun in Aries and her Venus are in Aries but not only that, Aries is very dominant in her chart – Mars is her ruling planet. Keep in mind that one does not need to have most of their planets in one sign to be predominantly that sign as astrologers look at various things such as ruling planets, houses etc. Every time I think of Aries through the eyes of an astrologer I see the new beginnings, the territories unexplored, the new lands, new ways, the boldness to be different and not just for the sake of it or just as a show off. Lady Gaga shows us all of these qualities; she worked her way up with fierce determination (also because of her Mars in Capricorn), she is business minded, she showed us a new kind of music and a new kind of thinking, new fashion that is so Aries; she is outspoken about her philosophies on “being different”, she has been there, she is different without us feeling like she is trying too hard. Aries is also a fire sign – there is kind of a raw, primal energy that comes with this sign. Leo (Madonna) has a fiery energy too, but it is not that basic, earthy, ready to explore the unknown kind. Madonna, for instance makes her audience see that every step in her performance is planned and is made to be perfect so we can all admire the act which is not a bad thing. Lady Gaga’s Aries approach is also planned but the audience feels like they are there for the ride, to have fun and to explore – Lady Gaga doesn’t care if she looks perfect – she is giving her best to entertain us but to also make us think about her songs, her thoughts. Her song Born This Way serves as a tool to communicate her feelings about being straight, gay, bisexual or whatever – we are all people and we all deserve a place on this Earth. Lady Gaga has her Moon in Scorpio which enables her to really see into human psychology and deal with her emotions in her unique way. Her Mercury is in Pisces gives her a perfect way to artistically communicate with her audience.
I have chosen a song I Am On The Edge Of Glory to illustrate the Astrology of Lady Gaga – Aries is always on the edge, it is like fire, her Venus in Aries is out there ready to conquer, Moon in Pisces stands for her intuitive mind. Mercury in Pisces is a bit of an escapist and an artist that doesn’t mind being on the edge, Mars in Capricorn is determined – Lady Gaga is not only a performer – singer, but she also composes and plays her own music. Look at the planets we mentioned above and try to think of them as you are listening to the song. See the planets come alive in their roles and make a wonderful play. Can you guess Lady Gaga’s Ascendant? My bet is she is a Sagittarius rising. Let me know if you have any thoughts. For now Sag it is - the eternal optimist knowing the things will just get better even if you are living on “the edge.”
