Stevie's Love Style & Relationships
Taurus Sun loves through the music and through presence. His marriages have reflected the Aries Moon's passion and the Taurus Sun's devotion — complete when given.
Career Drive & Ambition
He renegotiated his Motown contract at 21 to have complete artistic control. Aries Moon refusing the institution's limitations. Taurus Sun used that freedom to make five consecutive masterpieces.
Shadow Side & Growth Edge
Scorpio Rising's perfectionism has meant long gaps between albums since the 1980s. The craft standards are so high that the gap between Innervisions and Hotter than July was five years. He has never lowered the bar.
