Okay, so I’ve been digging into this whole astrology thing lately, just for fun, you know? And I got curious about Luther Vandross, ’cause he’s like, a legend. So I wanted to figure out what his zodiac sign was. You wouldn’t believe the rabbit hole I went down!

First steps
First, I just googled “Luther Vandross zodiac sign”. Simple, right? Well, I found out that there’s some confusion. Some places say he’s a Taurus, others say he’s an Aries. I was like, “What the heck?”
Digging Deeper
So, I started digging deeper. I found out he was born on April 20, 1951. Okay, that’s a start. Then I went to a bunch of those astrology websites. You know, the ones where you put in your birth date and they tell you all sorts of stuff.
- Some of these sites said that makes him a Taurus.
- But others, using some different astrology system, said he’s an Aries, with a Leo ascendant and a Libra moon sign. I was like “What?”
Getting into details
I learned that being born on April 20th puts you on the “cusp” between Aries and Taurus. Apparently, that means you can have traits from both signs. So maybe that’s where the confusion comes from? I don’t know, I’m no expert!
Then I looked into what it means to be a Taurus or an Aries.
- Taurus is supposed to be all stable and reliable.
- Aries is more fiery and passionate.
It got me thinking about Luther’s music. It’s definitely passionate, but it’s also smooth and soulful. Maybe that’s the mix of Aries and Taurus showing up? I also found that he won 8 Grammy Awards. That’s a lot!

Further research
I also found that he sold over 35 million records! That’s pretty crazy. I also listened to some of his most popular songs, like “Here and Now” and “Any Love”. I even learned that he never got married and didn’t have kids. And some people say he was gay, but he never said anything about it publicly. He passed away in 2005 from a heart attack.
My Conclusion
Honestly, I’m still not 100% sure what his “true” zodiac sign is. But it was fun learning about him and all this astrology stuff. I guess it just goes to show that people are complex, and you can’t always fit them into neat little boxes, even if those boxes are, like, zodiac signs.
But after all, he did leave a mark on the music industry and his songs are loved by many. At the end of the day, that’s what really matters.
