 Start Birth Years Birthstars Constellations  You are the flip-flop artist who stands firm on principle. Anyone would have been shaken by what transpired in Al Green's house on October 19, 1974, the day an ex-girlfriend interrupted his bath by pouring boiling-hot grits on his back before shooting herself dead with his own gun. On the other hand, not everyone would have taken the event as a crystal-clear signal that God intended him or her for the cloth. That's precisely how the soon-to-be-reverend Al Green took it, though, and so officially renounced pop superstardom and embraced a life in the church with an alacrity only a man who truly fears for his immortal soul could display. Yet despite your Birthstar's obvious sincerity in renouncing all things secular, the hands-down Sexiest soul singer of his generation did backslide occasionally over the coming decades, tantalizing his original fans with a secular soul record here and there among his many gospel recordings, but always flagellating himself for it afterward. Unique among the stars in the constellation Shape-Shifter, your Birthstar didn't so much evolve as lurch back and forth between two states in his deceptively Massive career, and for those born under his popstrological influence, this creates an interesting, doubled-edged legacy, ripe with the potential to serve multiple masters, but filled with fear and guilt about serving one too well.
