Journey's
Steve Perry

He's A Great Friend
Aquarians seem to live in constantly changing worlds all their own--they're dreamers and explorers as much as anything else! --and they possess a sixth sense about people. Steve can "read" someone just by looking in their eyes, and so he goes about making friends with typical Aquarian ease. He's loyal, honest, good at keeping secrets, basically unprejudiced, willing to give advice when it's requested, and he's not likely to borrow your allowance! He's a thoughtful and gentle friend indeed.

FULL NAME: Steve Ray Perry
DATE OF BIRTH: January 22, 1949
SIGN: Aquarius
CHARACTERISTICS: Aquarius dances to the tune of a different drum--or two, or three, or...

******His Bright Side******

He's A Creative Genius

You may think this an overstatement no matter whom it's about, but the stars know that people born under the sign of Aquarius, more often than not, are incredibly bright, creative and innovative. Steve's mellifluous voice, magical songwriting abilities and enviable stage presence make him one of the best rock performers of the day--and few would argue with that! Of course, genius--which can sometimes border on the weird!--is in the eye of the beholder, but you can't ignore the fact that Steve is in great company: Presidents Lincoln, Roosevelt and Reagan: scientists Galileo and Darwin: performers John Barrymore and Clark Gable were and are great contributors to the quality of life--and they were all born under the sign of Aquarius.

He's Full Of Surprises

Because he thrives on change, Steve is always full of surprises. Be it a single rose for your birthday (lavish gestures are not his style), a quiet celebration at home instead of one on the town, or an idea he's just had about how to get that woodpecker to stop pecking on the house and waking him every day, Steve is always up to something--and he's guaranteed to keep you on your toes.

He's A Team Player

Aquarians love people and make good sportsmen. While Steve isn't actively involved in organized sports, his team playing qualities are directly translated into being part of Journey. He worked long and hard to find the right group of musicians to perform with and since signing up with Journey a few years ago, he's been exhibiting nothing but his complete sense of fair play and devotion to the "team." As lead singer--the band member who gets the most attention in any group!--he could take advantage and try to steal the limelight from the others, but that is something totally foreign to Steve's nature.

He's Got A Great Sense Of Humor

If there's a single characteristic that will get you through almost anything, it's having a sense of humor--and Steve Perry's got one that's king-sized! It's almost as though he was sprinkled with happy dust when he was born, but he'll be the first to tell you it took a long time for him to cultivate that special trait. From poking fun at his own typically Aquarian profile--hark, that noble proboscis!--to his good naturedly taking things in stride, Steve can handle almost any situation with great style. And he's a super story-teller too!

His Dark Side

He's A Non-Conformist

Steve is a performer and he knows the value of giving an audience the unexpected every once in a while. In his own life he's always followed his heart, even if it meant being different from others. When this natural rebel was a youngster, it was typical that he sported long hair, for example, when school friends wore their hair short. If you watch Steve today, he looks like a lot of other rock stars--with his jeans and T-shirt on--up until you get to that shiny satin top coat! The unpredictable side of him peeks out at every opportunity-even at moments when he feels he'd like to blend in just a little.

He's Moody

Sometimes, this blithe spirit becomes unexplainably moody. It may just be he needs to recharge his creative batteries, but when you see him begin to withdraw into one of his dark periods, let him go. He's just going to have to work it out himself. Don't worry, either--he'll be back before you know it.

He's Quickly Bored

There's nothing an Aquarius loves more than examining people and ideas, but once he's discovered what they're all about he can become easily tired of them. The trick is not to reveal everything to him--keep a couple of secrets to yourself!--and you'll keep his curiosity peeked.

He's Altar Shy

Though Aquarians usually marry, often it's late in life because they're just too busy to get more than superficially involved with anyone. Steve loves close and funky relationships, but getting too close can be scary for him. It's then that his Aquarian fears of getting lost in someone else's needs arise and keep him from making a life-long commitment. But this will change with time.

How To Get Around His Dark Side

1. Be mysterious...
2. Be alert...
3. Be kind...it will pay off with this cutie!

A Friend, Is A Friend, Is A Friend

Aquarians make friends easily and they generally have many of them. What can be irritating, if you're the lady in this Aquarian's life, is that he treats them all as if they have equal importance when just occasionally you'd like him to make you feel extra-special. He eventually will, of course, but not before you've had some time to think about it.
