Leo Geri Halliwell turned her back on fame and fortune when she left the Spice Girls but she knew what she was doing. She had achieved all she could with the group and it was time to go it alone. Geri who was born on 6th August 1972 demonstrates the fixed nature of her sign by showing the strength and determination to achieve her aims. With Mercury close to Uranus in her chart, Geri has a strongly independent streak. Naturally she loves to be on the stage and when she is not performing or in the recording studio, the Charity circuit satisfies her need to be noticed.

Leo is strong in Geri's chart; she has the Sun, Mercury and Mars in this fiery and dramatic sign. She can be incredibly stubborn with a strong willpower. A Sun/Saturn link is indicative of patience and perseverance along with the ability to learn from experience. That she has a flair for the dramatic can be seen not only in the strong Leo influence but also in the Sun and Mercury's link with Uranus. This is suggestive too, of her original, active, inventive and creative mind.

Geri was named a Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations in 1998. She has Venus in Cancer linking with both Jupiter and Pluto. She will throw herself into charity work and global projects that attract her interest. Jupiter also links with Pluto in her chart showing an interest in religion and spirituality. Jupiter is associated with culture, travel, education and publishing and recently Geri has become a children's author. She is now actively promoting reading and the delights of discovering a good story.

Pluto will sometimes reveal itself in chart as a problem or blockage that doesn't seem to clear up. With Pluto in Cancer linking with Venus, Geri has a strong need for love and she will experience compelling emotional and sexual attractions throughout her life. She is more aware of the burdens of love, than its bliss and she will be secretive about her love life. This Plutonian influence is also indicative of her desire to control her environment and manipulate events to suit her own end. One of her lessons in life is to learn to let go and let others be as they are.

With a mix of Cancer and Leo in her chart, Geri has a rounded personality, gaining emotional security through her family life and motherhood while finding an outlet for her creativity and dramatic flair through her profession. Geri's daughter Bluebell has recently celebrated her second birthday. Although she finds motherhood a challenge, with the Moon in Cancer, Geri will have strong maternal instincts.

She may however be making light of the conflict within as 2008 is likely to bring some upheaval in her life and possible new directions. These could lead to some wonderful achievements but only if Geri is willing to let go of past ties.
