Glory Box -5 mins 55 secs of bliss.
Beth Gibbons, lead singer of Bristol UK band Portishead since 1991.
Born under the sign of Capricorn on January 4 1965 in Exeter, UK
Capricorns belong to the Cancer-Capricorn, Libra-Aries quartet of signs - and so they share qualities of all those signs -which are all about ways of relating.
Beth Gibbons' subdued, angsty performance persona is very reflective of Capricorn, under the influence of its carrier planet, Saturn.
Beth has Saturn in Pisces so she adds the hypnotic Piscean, sleepy, dreamy, druggy layer to her personality.
Portishead is known as a highly experimental trip hop electronic band
An unknown birth time means limited analysis, but what is revealed from the birthday alone provides a lot of information.
Beth is regarded as "a true artist" - and with the unconventional themes of Uranus linked directly to her Capricorn energy - she is far more unusual than the typical career oriented, managerial Capricorn.
Uranus gives quirky, creative, rebellious traits. These qualities are enhanced if the Moon is determined to be in Aquarius, the zodiac energy representative of Uranus. So being in a band that is electronic and experimental is a Uranian choice
Venus and the sign Libra are commonly associated with musical attunement.
Venus sits conjunct with Mercury [an artist's mind] and these two link back to the Uranus-Pluto-Mars stellium in Virgo, all amplifying and energising Beth's creative talents
Pluto positioned close to Uranus and also linked to the Capricorn Sun adds a Scorpionic flavour, deep, meaningful, analytical [in Virgo].
No surprise then with the Mercury-Venus-Pluto combination in mutable Sagittarius and Virgo, that Beth is the songwriter for Portishead - and that there is a lot about relationships and intensity in those songs.
All Mine has been described as a stalker's song - as it has a possessive theme. [Scorpio/Pluto]
Glory Box is about submitting to enduring love. [Venus] The sound is trippy [Neptune] and described as pure porn [Scorpio]
Voters placed it high on a list of songs to make love to.
The Scorpionic themes in Beth's energy are further reinforced by the transcendant opposition of Jupiter in Taurus opposite Neptune in Scorpio - two planets which also connect to Sun, Uranus and Pluto.
Energy really flows with such a quantity of interconnectivity.
Jupiter in Taurus is abundantly sensual, hedonistic.
Neptune in Scorpio is pure energy.
The two in dynamic polarity create an intoxicating flow that oozes into the sound of Portishead and the vocal delivery of Beth Gibbons.
She was born on a farm [Taurus] where life, death and survival [Scorpio] are very much embedded themes.
Beth often appears on stage in subdued casual clothing, no rock star flashiness -an unconventional take [Uranus] and downplayed version [Capricorn] of being the centrepiece
She tends to sing with eyes closed -immersed, other-wordly [Neptune] - and often seen with a fag onstage [Neptune]
With a complex mix of interlinked planets Beth Gibbons is a much more multifaceted Capricorn than the fundamental persona associated with that sign.
This basic layout chart is cast for a hypothetical middle of the day time.
Fellow Capricorn Elvis Presley was a January 8 example. His motto was the Capricornian theme "Taking Care of Business" He also had a lot of Aquarian and Scorpionic energy
Whether Beth Gibbons can also be said to be good at taking care of the practical management of her career, comes down to the factors evident in a fuller analysis enabled by an exact birth time
Glory Box lyrics from azlyrics
I'm so tired of playing
Playing with this bow and arrow
Gonna give my heart away
Leave it to the other girls to play
For I've been a temptress too long
Just...
Give me a reason to love you
Give me a reason to be a woman
I just wanna be a woman
From this time, unchained
We're all looking at a different picture
Through this new frame of mind
A thousand flowers could bloom
Move over and give us some room
Give me a reason to love you
Give me a reason to be a woman
I just wanna be a woman
[INSTRUMENTAL]
So don't you stop being a man
Just take a little look from outside when you can
Show a little tenderness
No matter if you cry
Give me a reason to love you
Give me a reason to be a woman
It's all I wanna be is all woman
For this is the beginning of forever and ever
It's time to move over...
Playing with this bow and arrow
Gonna give my heart away
Leave it to the other girls to play
For I've been a temptress too long
Just...
Give me a reason to love you
Give me a reason to be a woman
I just wanna be a woman
From this time, unchained
We're all looking at a different picture
Through this new frame of mind
A thousand flowers could bloom
Move over and give us some room
Give me a reason to love you
Give me a reason to be a woman
I just wanna be a woman
[INSTRUMENTAL]
So don't you stop being a man
Just take a little look from outside when you can
Show a little tenderness
No matter if you cry
Give me a reason to love you
Give me a reason to be a woman
It's all I wanna be is all woman
For this is the beginning of forever and ever
It's time to move over...
