So how did Madonna go from someone who was an iconoclastic, daring, brazen, renegade to someone who would schedule sex with her hubbby weeks in advance, with the emphasis of fitting it into her workout schedule?

Madonna is a Leo with a Virgo ascendant. Our ascendants represent how we appear to others, while our sun signs are who we really are inside. The problem is, as we get older, we sometimes become the mask, and over time we gradually become more like our ascendants than our sun signs.

Leo is the sign of the individual, filled with creativity, playfulness and flair. Leos can be quite domineering, but not in a power-mad or control freak way, but just because their identities can fill up a stage, leaving others out of the spotlight. Virgo is a sign that likes a different sort of control, one which is meticulously thought out and followed. Virgo rules nutrition, and Madonna’s strict diet can be seen as one manifestation, not only of her ascendant, but her stellium of planets in this sign. Saturn has been moving over these planets for the past year, only further emphasizing the austere Virgo side of her character.

I once knew a Virgo who set up a database of lovers in an excel spreadsheet so as to better take care of their needs. Virgos would totally take to scheduling sex sessions as a path to efficiency. Virgos often also take up severe work out regimes as a kind of control or even self-punishment.
