Howie D.
What the stars said before:
Howie: Leo
Birthstone: Peridot-meaning felicity
All are kind-hearted, generous, sympathetic, idealistic, executive, and magnetic. More merciful than just. Excitable and accessible to flattery. Generous with money and expects the same in return. He is a great optimist, fairly domestic, generous, and bright. Can't hold a grudge. Likes danger and adventure. Happy in responsibility. He is always expressing creativity. He makes strong, meaningful gestures. Designer clothing is popular among Leos. He has a great zest for life. His organizing ability is great. Leos have a well-developed sense of drama and loves to entertain. Being born under the Virgo moon, he tends to be modest and cautious with a practical instinct.
Best companions: Aries and Sagittarius.
Astrology of Love: Howie was born with so many aspects to Venus (the planet ruling love) that he seems destined to be a complicated lover, never quite finding the path to romance simple or easy. Howie's chart has a trine- the most positive relationship-between Venus and the planet Jupiter. This makes him a natural peacemaker in any group; he wants harmony with others strongly. It's easy for him to let others know he cares.
When Howie was born Venus was in another fortunate aspect. Neptune, the planet of dreams and wishes, formed a relationship with Venus, the planet of love. A person with this pattern in their horoscope has heightened creativity and an active romantic imagination. Howie brings a lot of romantic creativity to the Backstreet Boys, and it is also apparent in his desire to build houses by the sea (ruled by Neptune) for members of his family.
But when it comes to one-on-one love, Howie is a problem child. He tends to keep his attractions secret. This might be a result of Venus in conjunction with Pluto on the day he was born. Pluto is the planet of secrets and sudden reversals. Pluto also rules a person's deepest feelings. Intense, secret passions, and possible disappointments in love can often afflict someone born with this horoscope pattern.
If Howie is suffering from secret desires, you'd never guess it. With his Sun in Leo, it's important to him to keep a happy face in public. He wants to shine in any group. Even Leos who aren't in show business try to keep their fans pleased at all times. As a typical Leo, Howie is generous and chivalrous-meaning he wants to be a knight in shining armor. Leos like Howie want loyalty and praise from their partners; admiration is everything.
As a Leo, Howie is attracted to outgoing, courageous, good-natured people who sparkle in public. Leos are drawn to people who are thoughtful of others, gracious, and appreciative. They don't mind being flattered at all! They like honesty. Leos don't like people who are lazy or mean.
