In Episode 150, astrologers Kristina Martin and Tara Redfield tackle the iconic partnership of Sonny and Cher through the lens of their birth charts.
We begin with Cher's chart, revealing a fierce Cancer Rising with a hard shell. Her Moon in Capricorn and Saturn in Cancer reflect a strict, harsh upbringing, exemplified by her time in a Catholic orphanage. With Mars and Pluto in Leo in the 2nd House, she possessed the powerful ability to rise from the ashes, while her Sun in Taurus fueled her drive for tangible stability—famously crystallized in her mantra, "I am a rich man."
Sonny Bono's chart shows a partner-oriented Libra Rising. A Venus in Pisces opposed by Neptune idealizes love, explaining his four marriages. However, a Mars square Pluto and opposition to Uranus reveals an exacting, rebellious, and volatile side. Combined with his Sun and Mercury in Aquarius, this indicates a personality that insisted things be done on his own terms.
Together, their synergy is clear. They share a rare and exciting aspect between their chart rulers, where their individual life paths fully supported one another. A wealth of helpful aspects to her Venus in Gemini gave Cher feelings of value, appreciation, and love—including a trine from Mars, signaling intense chemistry. Yet, two Mars/Pluto aspects to their Moons foreshadowed the bitter, public "war of the roses" divorce, mirroring a contentious undercurrent that was always present. With an unstable Uranus square to Venus compounding matters, does the beat truly go on? Tune in to hear the final Venus compatibility score for this legendary duo!
