Introduction and Life Events
 

Story: Sting’s band, The Police, emerged during the late 1970s, they brought a mature and sober sensibility to the otherwise adolescent sound of British punk, thanks largely to the depth of Sting’s songwriting. By the time the band got started, Sting was already a husband and new father (his son Joseph was born 12 days before he met Police drummer Stewart Copeland), and while the band’s success ultimately allowed him the means to support his family, the demands of life on the road took its toll on his marriage, which came apart just as the Police were at their peak.

Stars: Sting was born with four natal planets in Libra: Saturn, the Sun, Neptune and the Moon, the first two of which are opposite Jupiter retrograde in Aries, signifying his strong belief in his personal creative vision, often at the expense of his partnerships. The path of transiting Saturn across Sting’s birth chart over the years provides poignant insight into how gifted people make personal sacrifices to pursue their craft.
