 Start Birth Years Birthstars Constellations  You are the motivational speaker who motivates without speaking. A kid who grows up as a bassoon player probably never gets to hit the winning home run in the bottom of the ninth inning. What he does get, however, is a lot of time during orchestra practice to daydream about what it might feel like and to compose in his mind the stirring combination of Aaron Copeland and the 1812 Overture that would play while he sent the ball sailing over the fence. That's how your Birthstar, Bill Conti, knew exactly what to write when he was handed the job of scoring Sylvester Stallone's Rocky. His previous sound track experience had been in the highbrow vein of Italian films like The Garden of the Finzi-Continis, but in 1976, he wrote a musical theme that helped turn a sentimental little boxing picture into a sociocultural phenomenon. Gonna Fly Now didn't just earn Bill Conti a place among the popstrological elite -- it gave a popstrologically Massive gift to all humanity in the form of easily hummable shorthand for challenge and achievement against long odds. From his perch in the constellation Theme Singer, your Birthstar endows you with a natural gift for stirring the emotions, and for instilling in others the heart of a lion when no mere eye of a tiger will do.
