 We have Anna Paquin, the long ago child actress who won an Academy Award for her work in “The Piano” and now plays Sookie Stackhouse in “True Blood” she is a Leo, born on July 24, 1982 and with Mars sitting right on her Sun she was a great hit yesterday on the web.

Seems Anna, who is engaged to marry Stephen Moyer, born on October 11, 1969, went on the gay rights website “wegiveadamn.org” and made the announcement that she is bisexual and “I give a damn.”
. And what happened? The site crashed because so many wanted to hear what she had to say. The site was still out at midnight last night. Now this dear little actress has the Sun at 1 degree of Leo and the Moon is Virgo square Neptune in Sagittarius. This would leave her with some confusion concerning her status in the wonderful world of sex. So she is right on target making this announcement.

She is a smart young lady since she has Uranus trine her Sun and Mercury, so obviously she doesn’t care and her boyfriend doesn’t either. He has two children from a previous relationship so there you are.

If you missed Nathan Lane on the “David Letterman” show last night you missed a couple of good laughs. Nathan is an Aquarian born on February 3, 1956 in Jersey City, N.J. Nathan is now starring in the “Addams Family” at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre in N.Y.City. So Nathan walks in, sits down and starts a dialogue spoofing sex rehab and how he was in Mississippi along with a golfer and a  motorcycle guy.

Then good old Nathan tosses a joke saying he was in rehab thinking he would improve his sex life, not end it. He is one funny man and a fellow Aquarian.

 Recognize the name Nadya Suleman? She is known as the “Octomom” who had eight babies last year and had six young children at home. Making her the mother of 14 really young children. She is a Cancer, born on July 11,1975. Now we know that a Cancer loves children and home so how come this woman is constantly looking for publicity and the limelight? She has a Leo Moon and there is nothing a Leo Moon soul loves more than being center stage.

Now Nadya Suleman is about to lose her house or her father who owns her house may lose it. So Nadya is out and about looking for fame and fortune to keep her family off the dole. She has her Mercury at 28 degrees of Gemini and Saturn is moving back into Virgo and will be at 27 and 28 degrees of Virgo most of rhe summer.  This means Saturn will be in tense aspect to her Mercury. So our Nadya had better keep moving to save her home because Saturn is no planet to fool around with. Just ask any Virgo about the last two years.

She, along with anyone born in 1975, has Pluto square Pluto and that is always a time of changing your consciousness, of looking at life from a different point of view. She will be looking at her 14 children from a different point of view now that she is facing serious financial problems, But then with Jupiter in Pisces making good aspects to Cancer planets she should be rescued and have her home saved. 

My favorite late, late night talker happens to be Craig Ferguson and he has won the Peabody Award for his work on his really Late, Late Show. Craig is a Taurus born on May 17, 1962. Award will be presented on May 17, in New York City and Saturn will be trine his Sun.

Shannen Doherty,  born on April 12, 1971 who has a wild past while starring in “90210″ certainly following her around, was voted off “Dancing With the Stars” leaving Pam Anderson and Kate Gosselin hanging in there along with Buzz Aldrin.

Although Pam came close to moving on so you obviously need more than a wiggle to rate. Seems to me Shannen danced better than some other participants. Must have something to do with the dancer’s personal life or personality.  Was a surprise that Shannen was the first to go, after all she was there to make her daddy proud.

The Puerto Rican singer Ricky Martin, who is the father of twins officially announced this week he is gay. Seems everyone knew this info, but it did get him some free publicity for his new book. Ricky was born on December 24, 1971, a Capricorn obviously hit by Pluto. The hit from Pluto certainly causes anyone to tell the truth. So there you are Ricky has confirmed what everyone knew.

Have you seen Wendy Williams in action? She is one jet propelled woman, who is able to talk almost non stop during her various TV shows. Wendy was born on July 18, 1964 in Asbury Park and grew up in Ocean Township section of Wayside. Just in case you have never seen Wendy in action she is on TV in the early morning and late at night on the east coast.

She seems to have information about everything and anything involved with famous people. She is never boring or without something to say those in the headlines.

Kate Winslet, who has just announced she and husband Sam Mendes are separated and about to divorce. She made headlines just yesterday complaining how she wanted out of their $8 million triplex in New York City. Kate is a Libra, born on Ocrober 5, 1975 in England. She has the Sun, Moon and Mercury in Libra making her a woman who finds it difficult to make decisions but since Saturn has been on her Sun for the past few months she has become depressed and frustrated by her situation. That is when a Libra can make a decision. When life gets to difficult to bare.

Kate also has Venus in early Virgo, Mars at 26 degrees of Gemini and Saturn is about to move back into Virgo and square her Mars, so the divorce won’t be an easy split of their reported $85 million holdings. And then Saturn will move back and conjunct her Sun, Moon and Mercury. So life will be a challenge in the upcoming months for the star of “Titanic,” “The Reader.” and the film “Revolutionary Road” which was directed by Kate’s hubby, award winning director Sam Mendes, born on August 1, 1965.

Seems that during the filming of the road pic all interviews about the couple reported they were fine with her making love to her costar Leonardo Di Caprio, but turns out they may have been fine with that but they were having bitter arguments at home, thus the separation.

 Once again we see and hear the life of a movie star is not all we are told. It seems it is much more of a challenge. Kate also won the Academy Award for her work in “The Reader.” Would seem that top movie honor is not as much fun as we the people might think.

     “Dancing With the Stars”  celebrity Pam Anderson is a Cancer, born on July 1, 1967. She has the Moon and Saturn in Aries in her natal chart. That aspect alone gives her high emotions and plenty of disappointment. She has her Mercury in Cancer trine Neptune, this gives her the mystical, magical personality that attracts people to her. Plenty of women have her assets but they don’t have her winning ways. And that comes from knowing what people like and giving them exactly that, plus she has the magic of Neptune.

The Moon and Saturn making aspects in her natal chart brings her the discipline to show up and prance around like a sex object. This has made her a very rich mother of two sons. Plus she has been bringing up the two sons by herself, since their daddy and Pam’s ex-husband Tommy Lee,  the drummer for Motley Crew isn’t home much.  Aside from that Pam really a hit on the first DWTS last week, but this week she look totally wired trying to act like Marilyn Monroe. It certainly appeared she was overdoing the entire attempt to be Marilyn and it showed since she came close to being tossed off last night.

 Kate Gosselin was born on March 28, 1975, Her second appearance on  “Dancing with the Stars”  this week was not so good. The first time she flounced around bravely and was second only to Buzz Aldrin, the long ago hero of the skies, who was also on the DWTS agenda, but you could hardly call him a dancer.  But Buzz will be back next week because people love him as a hero not as a dancer. Whatever the reason he remains on the show.

Kate Gosselin has the Moon in Libra and Saturn at 12 degrees of Cancer in her natal chart. Right there is a big clue concerning her constant involvement in chaos. She has eight young children, her husband decides to try his hand at being a man about town and then she decides to dance around on DWTS. She has five planets in her natal horoscope in Cardinal signs, now that is alot ot cardinal to handle. This woman thrives on the excitement chaos creates. So when there is none she creates it. Anyone with lots of Cardinal planets is often addicted to chaos.

And then her natal Saturn squares both the Sun and Moon that is one reason she comes on so strong, She also has some mommy and daddy issues. This is noted since her family does not seem to include the grandparents hanging around the little kids. Then she has her Mercury in Pisces so we can toss in a thinking nature which would run along the lines of being a martyr in all matters pertaining to relationships. If we check her track record within her family or with her hubby we can see something is missing. and once again Astrology shows the way and the reason.

She is one tough woman, but has had alot of tension and disappointment in her life. She often feels unloved and misunderstood by many in her family. This summer and fall she will be dealing with Saturn and Pluto square her Sun and that indicates another uneasy time for her. In the meantime she will try and hold her own on DWTS and she managed to hold on tight. She and the astronaut are both up for another week of dancing.

 Sandra Bullock’s cowboy of a husband, Jesse James has now be named by three women as their lover and there is a fourth one waiting in the wings ready to report on Jesse as soon as she gets a chance. Amazing how Sandra was standing on stage just a few weeks ago professing her undying love to Jesse as he sat teary eyed in the audience, probably hoping his double life would remain secret.

And there in the background was Michelle “Bombshell” McGee telling all to “In Touch” magazine for a large sum of money. Life is really a turn around when you think about it. After all what goes around comes around.

    And just in case you have been counting, To date Tiger Woods had a stable of 15 girl friends and three of them were porn stars. The latest to come out with text messages sent to her by Tiger is Joslyn James, and if you haven’t read them yet pour yourself a cup of tea and educate yourself. Then there is Devon and Holly both join Joslyn on the Xrated scene.

     One might think that one of the lessons of 2010 would be don’t send text messages if you are involved in a love affair outside of your marriage, because they can be saved and used later. And we had two of the best teachers offering life lessons on this subject, namely Tiger Woods and Jesse James. Two guys who must be red faced and wondering why they were so stupid. Tiger could face new text messages for years to come since he must have texted more than one lady of the night. And we used to think these guys are super cool. Now some of us must feel they are super dumb.

Don’t you wonder how Sandra Bullock feels today. Just  weeks ago she was aglow with joy and loving her cad of a husband Jesse James, and then yesterday she discovers her husband has been playing games for almost a year with Michelle “Bombshell” McGee, a tattoo model.

   Any student of Astrology knows Mars can trigger off all kinds of excitement from sex to arguments and  this week was no exception for Sandra Bullock, Just a few weeks ago she made headlines after winning the Academy Award and then today with Mars sitting on her Sun, she was born on July 26, 1964, she is in headlines because her motorcycle loving cheat of a husband, Jesse, has been named  by Michelle “Bombshell”   a former stripper and now a Tattoo model as her lover.

  Living in Hollywood or in the fast lane must be a jolly time since you never know when you will land in headlines. Seems Jesse James, born on April 19, 1969, was having an affair for some time with Michelle “Bombshell,” According to the headline story he had told the tattoo covered model  his marriage to Sandra was over. And now after he read her story in the headlines, he is saying he is so sorry and about to march off to rehab, thinking he can save his marriage to a Leo. No Leo would ever, ever take a guy back who humiliated her like Jesse did Sandra. It just can’t happen, so he can go to rehab or whatever but it won;t save the marriage.  He’ll be lucky if Sandra Bullock ever speaks to him again.

 Could have been a surprise to Jesse James,  who is rather dumb when it comes to the way of doing things behind your wife’s back. At least he and Tiger have made it very clear that it is not wise to send text messages to your girlfriends. Now many a cad will be aware of that danger.

Jesse is involved in the Motorcycle world as host of Monster Garage and owner of a motorcycle business. When the story hit the headlines  he also had Mars square his Sun, which is at 29 degrees of Aries and Mars is at zero degrees of Leo. So he also had a Mars experience when the story was made public,

 The husband in this case Jesse has the Moon in Taurus opposite Neptune in Scorpio. This would indicate he has a few problems with the women in his life starting with his mother. And a quick look at Mr. James track record would show he has been married three times and his marriage to a porn star which produced a daughter created many problems.

He and Sandra were involved just last October in a court case to gain custody of the child. Jesse and Sandra won and the child was living with them. The mother, the ex wife, was released from jail and now has visitation rights.

So there is Sandra facing headlines about her hubby and a open discussion by the Tattoo model concerning how she met Jesse. Seems she went to his motorcycle establishment looking for a job and ended up on the coach having sex. Sounds like the first time John Edwards met his mistress Rielle Hunter and they immediately  had sex in his hotel room. Life in the fast lane is really fast.

  Don’t you sometimes wonder just what motivates Lindsay Lohan’s life? She is so in love with her name and own publicity she really thinks she can sue for millions of dollars because some advertising company used the name “Lindsay’ in connection with an TV commercial. What a joke. But it made me wonder when does she celebrate her birthday?

Lindsay is a Cancer born on July 2, 1986 and she has a Taurus Moon, Her Mercury and Venus are both in Leo. Now we all know a Leo and their need for fame and fortune. So obviously Lindsay is no exception. She [joins Bill Clinton, Sean Penn and Madonna along with plenty of others and they all love their names in lights.

Lindsay has Neptune opposite the Sun, a problem with daddy and men, plus alcohol could also be a serious challenge, And Lindsay has proved Astrology is right on target. Her fame comes from her trine from Pluto to the Sun and Mercury trine Saturn. Just great aspects to make sure you get help along the way in make your dreams a reality.

 So she is one smart gal. Just has a serious problem with men starting with her daddy and many of her boyfriends. She also has a small problem with women, but she is a Cancer with a Taurus Moon and no one loves momma more than that combination.

So growing up with the constant problem between her parents took its toll on Lindsay, who is always looking for a home, but she also has Mars exalted in Capricorn and there comes her tremendous ability to outlast and outsmart almost anyone including her daddy. She is a tough young lady who has been in the public eye all her life helping to support the family which includes mommy and daddy and three siblings. She is a tough Cancer woman and there are many of them.

 Skywatch for the week of April 1 to 8, 2010

by Flo Higgins

  The sheer energy of your personality dazzles people and they either love you and your strong attitude or they look they other way. Anyone born this week often has the behavior of a bear. They come on with an overwhelming force and can take over any situation. One of the life lessons of the Aries is to learn to control their energy. They need to learn not to waste time on nonsense. To do what needs to be done and move on. But before moving on the Aries needs to complete the project.
Because or their short attention span and the need to keep moving this fire sign often starts a chore and becomes bored and just moves on. The discipline they need to cultivate is competing projects before the move. An Aries is a bright and spirited sign of the Zodiac and can charm people into following them. This is a trait which needs to be developed since Aries is born with leadership ability. They are slick and refined with super egos, which also need to be tamed. Once an Aries has the personality under control there is no stopping them They are off to stardom. But the problem is they have a problem getting things under control and disciplined.

Birthdays of the Rich and Famous

Birthdays celebrated this week: Susan Boyle, April 1, 1961; Emmylou Harris, April 2, 1947; Jennie Garth, April 3, 1972; Jamie Lynn, April 4, 1991; Betty Davis, April 5, 1908; Marilou Henner, April 6, 1952; Russell Crowe, April 7, 1964; Patricia Acquette, April 8, 1968; Hugh Hefner, April 9, 1926

Heavenly Thoughts for This Week

Life should calm down now since the full Moon is over and we are now moving towards a new Moon and a time to get new projects underway. Mercury goes retrograde on April 18 at six minutes after midnight and stays retro until May 11 at 6:27 P.M. Once again we will remind you that it is not wise to sign contracts, buy cars, homes or anything that can easily break during the retro period. It has been found, not only by Astrologers at large, but by anyone who follows the planets that projects undertake during a Mercury retro period just don’t work. Believe it or not give it a test and start something during a retro period and see what happens. It won’t work and if it does work at all it will be sloppy. Kate Gosselin, who is an Aries, born on March 28, 1975, made her initial appearance of “Dancing With the Stars” last Monday night and came in a close second to former astronaut Buz Aldrin. Her dancing debut left much to be desired. Kate has a Moon in Libra and both the Sun and Moon square Saturn. So this woman has a long tough journey ahead of her. Jon Gosselin is also an Aries, born on April 1, 1977, Put two fire sign people together and it spells trouble. So it came as no surprise to anyone who knows Astrology that the two, although they have 8 kids, had to go their separate ways. Jon has a Leo Moon which explains his need for constant attention of any kind. Wow!

Aries (March 21 to April 20)With Mars moving forward and making nice aspects to your Sun you can expect life to be full of abundant possibilities to make some big gains. Looking for a new relationship or job? It is time to get serious and really dig down. Success is just around the corner if you get out there and push it and let nothing get in your way.

Taurus (April 21 to May 20) You may feel you are pulling things together in your life and that is good. But you need to pull a little harder and ignore the negative people who don’t have total faith in you. A new relationship is about to start so stay awake to the new people who come into your life. It important to be alert now. Someone close to your could be thinking babies.
.
Gemini (May 21 to June 20) Saturn is moving back to Virgo and will make a final swing at your Sun. So if you are born in mid-June look out for trouble and look the other way if you see it. An old friend could need a helping hand. Be a pal and offer to help. Expect the best from Saturn and keep working to finish any left over tasks. Then you can expect some rewards.

Cancer (June 21 to July 20) Pluto in Capricorn will force you to make a few changes which will certainly be for the best and will improve your life immediately. You need the change that is heading your way and will love the entire upheaval once you understand the real need for it. Remember you can’t remain in the same place forever. It just can’t happen that way.

Leo (July 21 to August 20)The spark of Mars will light your fire if you let it. Get ready to meet some new and exciting people who will bring some new adventure into your life if you let them. An old friend could change into a new pal very shortly and it would be wise not to ignore what is happening. You will love the big change once it is complete.

Virgo (August 21 to September 20) You may be acting with the noblest of motives but make sure others understand what you are trying to do otherwise you will end up with egg on your face and some people mad at you. This is no time to play around with anyone’s feelings or try and pull anything over on anyone. Be patient and kind and all will work out well.

Libra (September 21 to October 20) Saturn is moving out of Libra for a while, but will return on July 22 so remember to be as kind as possible and when you are wrong admit it twice. Otherwise you could be without a friend or two very soon. Libra loves to have people around, but right now you are being tested so use some gentle care with pals.

Scorpio (October 21 to November 20) As you step out of your routine box and enter into a new arena be extremely careful who you trust. Since you trust very few people that should not be a hard task. Keep moving and ignore the negative right now. Wait until your pals really understand your ultimate goals and then make your moves.

Sagittarius (November 21 to December 20) This is a good time to make some sharp deals since the environment you circulate in should be full of opportunities. So stop talking and try some real action in the next week. The aspects in the skies are all shining in your favor, so take advantage of all opportunities. Stop listening to negative people.

Capricorn (December 21 to January 20) There is a profound change taking place around you now and you will become involved in it shortly. There is no other way for you to deal with any tension but to make some changes. An old friend could assist you in getting exactly what you want at work. More money and power. So contact as many pals as possible and ask them to help.

Aquarius (January 21 to February 20) The time has arrived and you must make some things perfectly clear to those expecting you to work for nothing. You can do the work but there must be some notice. Otherwise it might be a good idea to stay home. Because once we start resenting our giving we should stop and do something else. That’s the big lesson this week.

Pisces (February 21 to March 20) If you are feeling vulnerable now then get plenty of rest and start looking around for a new venture. An old friend could ask you to help out, but if you do not feel it is right for you then quickly say no so there is no misunderstanding. If you put it off there could be a serious friendship problem. So just take care of things right away.

Happy Birthday Aquarius! There is not an Aquarian alive who does not feel slightly different from the mainstream of life. This fixed sign marches to the beat of a different drum, so offers a totally unique philosophy of life, An Aquarian does not deal with issues like the rest of the signs of the Zodiac. They are outspoken, come on strong people. They have their own ideas of how life should be handled and are willing to live life according to their own ideas, not yours.
The attitudes and behavior of these seventh sign people hold a distinct humanistic and intellectual flair. The Aquarian can serve as an inspiration and enthusiastic mentor to many. They have grand ideas and tend to lean toward humanitarian causes and this forces this fixed sign personality to get involved in all sorts of worthy causes.
As an air sign the Aquarian joins Gemini and Libra is their involvement with intellectual causes and school is always high on their list of needs. Thomas Edison was a fine example of a future thinking humanitarian with his work on the electric light. Aquarians are always trying to find answeers to questions few people ask. Because of this they are always ahead of their time and their fellowmen. Adding to their uniqueness is the fact they are ruled by Uranus, which always forces us to look at life from a different and higher point of view.
Birthdays of the Rich and Famous

Birthdays celebrated this week: Jack Nicklaus, January 21, 1940; Diane Lane, January 22, 1965; Chita Rivera, January 23, 1933; Mischa Barton, January 24, 1986; Virginia Woolf, January 25, 1882; Anita Baker, January 26, 1958; Bridget Fonda, January 27, 1964; Elijah Wood, January 28, 1987; Oprah Winfrey, January 29, 1954.
Heavenly Thoughts for This Week

John Gotti, Jr. is an Aquarian, born on February 14, `1964 and so anything he does is unexpected and certainly unique. So now that he won’t be dealing with another retrial he is, according to the latest reports, going to be an author of crime stories. Now who better could write about crime?
John Gotti, Sr. was a Scorpio born on October 27, 1940 he died while in prison on June 10, 2002. The senior Gotti had 13 murders under his belt. By the way Pat Robertson, the well known minister with some out of this world ideas is an Aries, born on March 22, 1930.
Rev. Robertson is an early Aries so he will certainly be looking at a bout with both Saturn and Pluto in the near future. Those aspects should slow him down a little.
We are now in the final stage of a new Moon period, which means it is a time to start new projects, complete things already started and really let your relationships open up. But if you can’t get things underway by the weekend let it go until next month.
Next full Moon will be on January 30 so this week will be one with high emotions and plenty of sounding off about whatever might be bothering you. Just talk slowly and avoid the tears.

Aries (March 21 to April 20) Although you often have plenty of problems in your personal life you sometimes get totally involved in other people issues. Try avoiding giving advice at least this week. And then you will have plenty of time to spearhead your own agenda. Sometimes you get so wrapped up with others you forget yourself.

Taurus (April 21 to May 20) With Mars in Leo square your Sun you would be wise to watch every move you make. This is no time to try and offer unwanted advice to anyone. It will just be sending good energy out to fight a negative cause and you can’t win. You are efficient and effective in most areas of your life most of the time, but now it is time to cool it.

Gemini (May 21 to June 20) This could be a highly emotional week for you if you let things get out of control. So it would be wise to keep yourself in positive situations without any strings attached. Otherwise you will end up, as you have done in the past, holding the bag. Just smile and say no to any outrageous requests. Face it you don’t need anymore nonsense.

Cancer (June 21 to July 20) With Saturn now retrograde in Libra square your Sun you might be wise to consider revisiting your relationships and clearing up any issues you might have. This is the perfect time to take care of any outstanding people problems. And if you decide to take a step forward you could end up the winner because you are making the first move.

Leo (July 21 to August 20) If there is no excitement in your life now you had better get out there and find some new groups to join or causes to help. Since Mars is moving through Leo you should be busy keeping your mouth under control. Don’t get involved in arguments now because there is a good chance you won’t win.

Virgo (August 21 to September 20) Your back on track if you are busy at work and at home getting things settled. You need to watch it now since Saturn is retrograde and heading back into Virgo. Once it is back there may be some unfinished business that must be taken care of and that means you. An old friend could return to your social circle and be a good influence on you.

Libra (September 21 to October 20) You can think about postponing some issues that need to be resolved, but just put them on the back burner not out of your life entirely. The fuller you keep your social life the better off you will be this week. So get out where the action is and stay busy. A new face in your social crowd could rally turn you around.
Scorpio (October 21 to November 20) With Mars making challenging aspects to your Sun you may feel like telling a few people off, but it would be wise to look the other way and use some real self control. Because anger and emotions will not win the game for you this week. Look for some good news from those living a distance from you. Also some of your children may need a good talk.

Sagittarius (November 21 to December 20) Emotions could be running high around you this week. You would be smart to look the other way and avoid any negative situations. With Mars making good aspects to your Sun you should be reaping the rewards of your hard work, not getting involved in the nonsense of others.

Capricorn (December 21 to January 20) A pal could offer you a totally new slant on issues that have been giving you some problems. Listen to the advice and then make up your own mind. Finances should be improving if you have really been doing your homework and working harder than ever. A money opportunity could present itself within the next couple of weeks.

Aquarius (January 21 to February 20) Review what you really want to do and then set out to find out how to get it done. A friend could be a great source of information for you now. Invite a pal to lunch or dinner and have a good long talk about your goals. This will put you in a much better frame of mind once you have had the long talk.

Pisces (February 21 to March 20) With Uranus getting ready to move out of Pisces and into Aries you should start feeling calmer and get more things done. This week just take a few minutes to reflect on the changes you have made in the past few years as Uranus traveled through your Sun sign. Your goals, life plan and certainly your relationships should have been changed. If not they will be shortly.

Anyone born this week is a cusp baby or a combination of Capricorn and Aquarius. The philosophical difference between the two signs gives the birthday person a unique personality. The Capricorn, Aquarius cusp offers a totally different energy to the native. So naturally anyone born now is going to be bright, but tough, gentle, but strong, emotional but detached and practical with money, but totally unpractical with love, so any relationship will be exciting and different.
This birthday person can be totally serious and interested in power and being in control, but then the Aquarian side will be totally fun, with no interest in power or control, always looking for freedom and plenty of space.
So signing up for a relationship with people born now could create a problem unless you are totally aware of the interesting soul you are relating to and how much you can learn from them.
These souls often marches to the beat of a different drum, do things with a unique flavor and are often hard to get to know even through they love people. Although they love lots of people they sometimes finds it difficult to relate one on one.
This makes a perfect boss since they are able to get along with people yet can maintain a distance necessary for those in charge, so beware many people in charge are born this week or they have learned to handle people as though they were Capricorn, Aquarian birth signs.

To start with he is an Aries. Born on April 12, 1947 Woody Johnson is the great grandchild of Robert Wood Johnson, plus he is a tough, He is an Aries with a Capricorn Moon.

Cancer (June 21 to July 20) The time has arrived to shape up your life and get things in the order that is best for you, not the rest of the family. You are an in charge person so get started. A new routine would serve you well. If you don’t start making the plans they will be made for you and you won’t be as happy. So on Friday make the first move.

Here is another Pluto/Saturn story. Casey Johnson, who was born on September 24, 1979, the socialite daughter of the owner of the New York Jets was found dead yesterday in her Los Angeles home. There was no reason given for her death, but she was a diabetic. A lesbian, she was engaged to Tila Tequila at the time of her death. According to Tila she had not answered her phone since December 29, 2009.
And what was going on in her chart at the time of her death Pluto was square the Sun and Saturn had been conjunct it. She had the Moon in Scorpio and Mercury and Venus in Libra. Her problems in recent months had included an arrest for various items from an ex-girl friend and on and on it goes. Pluto and Saturn together do bring change.
And now we have the sad tale of Alexa Ray Joel and her pitch on Facebook. Alexa is a Capricorn, born on December 29,1985. Alexa joins fellow Capricorns Tiger Woods and his wife Elin. So anyone who thinks Capricorns are not seeing some changes in their lives isn’t aware of Astrology and its predictions. Anyway our gal Alexa swallowed a few pills a couple of weeks ago and someone thought she was trying to commit suicide. Well she survived the try and is now praising her momma Christie Brinkley of supermodel fame and her daddy Billy Joel of singing fame, as her best friends on Facebook. Now what better place to dump your denials?
Since we are filled with nonsense constantly from famous children of famous people let’s look at Alexa’s birth chart and see if she is also conning us. First off this young lady who calls her mom her best friend has Mars and Pluto square her Leo Moon and Neptune conjunct the Sun and Venus. Now those aspects do not indicated in any way or shape close relationships with parents. Mars and the Moon square indicates anger and friction between the birth mother and child. And Neptune and the Sun indicates a father who was not there and when he was there he was difficult to understand. So the native with these aspects lives in a fantasy. Tiger also had Neptune and the Sun and he certainly lived in a fantasy world.
This young lady has one challenge after another since she has Saturn and Mercury in Sagittarius which indicates a native subject to discipline and subject to depression. That Alexa admits, but she needs to talk to somebody about her relation or lack of same with her parents. We can be sure she is talking to someone otherwise she would be back in the hospital. And what planet is causing this new challenge? Pluto. The same planet that took Tiger’s life and turned it inside out.
 By the way according to Elin Tiger’s dear wife, he gave her $300 million for Christmas. Now that is a Christmas present! If he keeps giving her presents like that she might stay with him or at least consider it.
This following story has got to be one of the favorite of all times.
Now there is a story making the rounds and I just can’t resist making comment! Seems Ashley Samson, the BFF of Tiger Woods’ first announced girl friend, Rachel Uchitel, woke up one morning and decided to tell all. So Ashley naturally gets in touch with the Enquirer or they get in touch with her and the story begins. According to the story making the rounds, Ashley is nearly brokenhearted because of the results of her deed. She lost her friend Rachel, who even denied knowing Ashley when the story first broke. Then later had to admit they knew each other when photos of them together appeared in the press.
Well anyway our little darling Ashley is feeling bad. Now what could she be feeling bad about? Because Rachel called her names? Hard to believe when she squeals on her former girlfriend. But anyway that is what she told the press on over the weekend.
Now it turns out the when Ashley went off to the Enquirer she was offered $25,000 and took it. Then the Enquirer paid Ashley’s girlfriend between $10, 000 to $15, 000 to verify that Ashley’s story was true. Seems the two gals were both pals of Rachel.
So then the story goes Tiger’s pals got wind that Ashley was going to talk so they race to the scene and offer her $200,000 to keep quiet. But it seems she had already talked to the Enquirer and so Ashley lost $175,000 because she talked too soon. Now wouldn’t you too feel sad and lonely if you lost yourself $175,000 in one afternoon because you talked too fast and too much. So if you need a sad tale to fill your heart with sympathy just think of Ashley and her sad tale of woe.
So there you are one more chapter in the Tiger Woods saga. The gal that first gave the story to National Enquirer really, really regrets telling the tale which started the downfall of Tiger’s endorsements, plus his marriage and created the big scandal.
And it all started when Rachel Uchitel’s girl friend Ashley got pissed because Rachel was spending a lot of time texting to Tiger. Plus it seems Ashley was privy to alot of info about the twosome and decided to talk to the National Enquirer
One movie I would try and avoid is the film about the Morgans starring Sarah Jessica Parker and Hugh Grant. Long, boring, nothing film based on a totally unimaginative couple who end up in Wyoming under protective custody. What a dull story and even duller performances.
 Sarah Jessica should stay with “Sex and the City” nonsense of just stay home and take care of the twins, because many more films like this one and she may have to find a new job. Mercury must have been retrograde when she decided to take on the role of Mrs. Morgan. So my thoughts would be to stay home or get tickets to “Blind Side” a really good film starring Sandra Bullock.
Seems there are still some guys left who can hold their head up and smile and one of them has to be Derek Jeter, who was named New Yorker of the Year by the N.Y. Daily News. Derek has been a Yankee ball player all of his long baseball career. He is a Cancer born on June 26, 1974 in Pequannock, N.J. and then moved to Kalamazoo, Michigan when he was about four.
But he spend many a summer in New Jersey visiting his grandparents, who took him to Yankee games and there was the start of a long relationship. His dad is an African American and his mom Irish and German. He seems to bring a long time goal of good guy with him and he hasn’t married yet. Smart man it would seem.
 Sometimes one might think Tiger Woods has the biggest ego in sports, but then we would nominate Big Jon Gosselin, formerly one of the stars of “Kate and Jon Plus 8″ as the guy with the biggest ego in the nonsense arena. . Seems Jon, who is an Aries, born on April 1, 1977, is topping the show. He reported his New York City apartment has been trashed by an ex-girlfriend and the one who has been living there with him is a woman he loved dearly just weeks ago. Now he is hinting she messed up his belongings and trashed the entire apartment. And Jon is the father of eight children living in Pennsylvania?
Now Jon is no Charlie Sheen, who is a really funny actor, not that is any excuse for creating havoc with his women, but Jon is an Aries with the Moon in Leo, So he does love the limelight, but he doesn’t have those long standing issues of Charlie. Jon has to work at getting into the limelight and staying there. He has had his 10 minutes of fame but keeps trying and this week it was the break in by an ex girlfriend.
But Jon has the Sun, Venus and Mercury in Aries. Now that shows a serious problem with doing what you want to do when you want to do it. So we have Jon hanging around the big city while his kids live with momma in the hills of Pennsylvania. Jon does have Pluto opposite the Sun in his natal chart and that is always an indication of a big need for power and control. So Jon listened to Kate just so long and that was it. Now he is obviously wandering around with women and doesn’t have any idea how to control them. He had the same story with Kate.
Seems he needs some help in understanding power. He should get it soon when Mars comes back and trines his Sun by the end of January 2010. Sure hope he takes advantage of the opportunity.
 Hope you had a better Christmas then TV actor Charlie Sheen. Charlie spent time on Christmas Day in jail in Aspen, Colorado before posting $8,500 bail money. What for? It seems he got tough with his present wife Brooke Mueller, the mother of his twin sons, and she being an emotional soul. who had a little too much to drink, plus does not like being pushed around by a guy, called the cops.
 Obviously his latest wife is calling some shots just like one of his past wives Denise Richards, who is the mother of his two daughters, also called the cops and filed for divorce when she was pregnant with her second child with Charlie.
To date Charlie, who is a Virgo. born on September 3, 1965, has been charged in his latest disaster, with second degree assault and criminal mischief. Now Charlie has been in trouble with women in the past. But one look at his chart and you can tell he was set for social problems on the day of his birth. And some he causes and some could be the result of the women he loves.
He is an old soul with the Sun in Virgo conjunct Pluto, the Moon in Sagittarius and Saturn in Pisces. Now that configuration in a birth chart will create great tension and it starts, naturally at home. The Sun and the Moon in negative aspect to Saturn and Pluto right away shows issues with both mom and daddy. And we drag these issues with us, movie star or no movie star.
And certainly Charlie Sheen is no expection. He has a serious problem with commitment and various other play toys and he plays the part to the hilt in his successful “Two and a Half Men,” TV series. But living it in real life is another thing.
Then Charlie has his Mercury in Leo and where is Mars today in Leo. He was upset and angry when he arrived in Aspen to see his latest wife and they, according to police, started in with the combat. Charlie has Mars in Scorpio which is certainly a strong Mars and adds to the havoc surrounding him.
Now we have been warning Libra birthday people to beware. Saturn is in Libra. So we have three Libra people about to make big changes in their lives or at least thinking about the change. First Simon Cowell is planning to move on from “American Idol” to work on the XFactor. The Idol returns on January 12 and Simon will be there but this will certainly be his final run with that show.
Simon will be moving on by next summer when Saturn conjuncts his Libra Sun. He was born on October 7, 1959 and has the Moon in Sagittarius. He is a classic Sag Moon person always saying exactly what he thinks. Now that is a classic example of the Sagittarius Moon.
Then we have Susan Sarandon, a charming Libra, born on October 4, 1946 and her long time lover, partner and father of her two sons, Tim Robbins, who was born on October 16, 1958 have revealed today are going their separate ways after two decades together. They don’t have to get a divorce since they never bothered to marry. So there you are. If you celebrate a birthday in October you don’t have to worry unless you have been living a sorry life. Then you may start thinking of moving on. Otherwise look for some other kind of payoff.
Anyway dear little Brittany Murphy was a Scorpio born on November 10, 1977 and was a diabetic was buried on Christmas Eve in California. Not only was she a Scorpior but also had the Moon and Venus in Scorpio, plus Uranus was conjunct her Sun, We are still waiting for reports that tell the reasons for her early death.
 She loved living in the fast lane. The person with Uranus conjunct the Sun has a problem slowing down and so there is always, always some craziness going on in the life especially with the men. Her daddy was gone from her life early on. He hadn’t seen her in years but turned up to toss in his two cents about her death. Ah the joys of parenthood.
Anyone reading this column knows about Mars now in Leo and it made a station early Sunday morning when Brittany was found dead of cardiac arrest th in her bathroom. And where was her Mars in her natal chart? She had Mars in Leo, it was conjunct Saturn so there we have added reason to know she was a hyper tense gal.
No wonder she had any number of pills at her disposal. She needed them considering the life she was living. We all know Scorpio always have secrets. Not that there is anything wrong with a secret or two or three, but she really had many and a lot of them were in her dresser drawer, according to the police reports on TMZ.
Tiger Woods is a Capricorn, born on December 30. 1975 and his wife, Elin Nordegren is also a Capricorn, born on January 1, 1980. So the two just celebrated birthdays. Word is Elin celebrated in the Alps where she and a group of friends wined and dined in an $8,000 a night hotel suite. Now that is spending money the right way when your husband has tons of the stuff.
So you have two Capricorns and you are going to have two control people. They both want total control. And if you read this column with any regularity you are well aware Capricorns are having a time. Pluto is in Capricorn and Saturn just danced into Libra making a square to Capricorn.
And anyone who thinks a Capricorn woman would accept the behavior of Tiger Woods and stay around is living on another planet. There is no way a Capricorn would stay around. They just don’t think of themselves as victims,or if they ever do it doesn’t last long.
 Capricorn would hire the best lawyer possible and go for the bucks. And that is just what his beautiful blonde wife will do, if she hasn’t done it already. One of the very best star lawyers in America, Sorrell Trope of California, who has represented any number of top stars in their divorce cases.
So although Elin signed a prenuptial agreement she has a lawyer who will get her more of Tiger’s money than anyone could imagine. I wrote weeks ago that according to Tiger’s natal Astrological chart he had no idea how to handle women. How right it was. This guy may be good on the golf course, but in the bedroom and the family room he has no idea what he is doing.
Tiger should have hired a good Astrologer so he would know when he can do what he does and not get caught. Tiger has a Moon in Sagittarius conjunct Neptune and then Mars in Gemini would be opposite Sagittarius. He has the Neptune influence with the Moon which rules women and he has no real knowledge or understanding of women, plus he has a terrible temper. If he had any knowledge of all these girl friends he would have been more protective of himself, instead of having dozens of ladies telling all.
Then he marries a young lady who also has a temper with the Moon in Gemini square Mars in Virgo and you have a sure recipe for arguments of the best kind. Plus Mrs. Tiger Woods is now in the middle of her first Saturn return.
The Saturn return happens from 28 to 30 and is a very challenging time in a life. It is a time of making big decisions and forces the 30 year old into a change in direction. Anyone over the age of 30 knows the feeling because no one misses that period of life without a few scars. So Elin is living thru it in a very public way. And it is not over.
 Her Saturn is at 26 degrees of Virgo. So Saturn will be back there by early April and until the end of July 2010. Then it will make a strong station in mid May. During that time Saturn will conjunct her Saturn and square her Mercury at 28 degrees of Sagittarius. She is subject to frustration so she will feel the full brunt of Saturn, from April to July 2010.  You haven’t seen or heard the last of that lady. She is going for gold.
I am sure amid the thousands of words I wrote about Tiger Woods since the day after Thanksgiving I wrote that Tiger’s dear daddy played the same games as he played. He just didn’t have as many ladies waiting for him, but of course he was not a big time golfer with tons of money and obviously a lot of free time.
. As predicted in this column just a couple of months ago Kate Hudson and A Rod have gone their separate ways. He’s doing the same stuff in Miami and she’s traveling around selling her new movie “Nine” on TV. Kate, as I wrote just weeks ago likes her way and A Rod, a Leo has to be the star and following someone who is a star just doesn’t work for him.
 A Rod is a game player and an extremely high maintenance kind of guy. He’s not going to travel around selling someone else’s movie. So there you are another true Hollywood romance hits the dust. But since Mars is in Leo they could decide to get back together again just for laughs.
Kate is a gal for all seasons. It is obvious when Kate, who is an Aries is in your life there has got to be excitment or she would be off finding fun and games in another venue. As she was quick to say in her many TV appearances the summer and fall of 2009 was great fun.
Now she and Alex Rodriguez, have ended their relationship since she is starring in the new movie “Nine” and running around TV pushing the movie and he is running around Miami looking for a long legged blonde.
Kate has had a few well known lovers, plus she married one, had a son. Her interest is in men who have had a few problems, but of course she loves the chaos the problems create.
Like top athletes Lance Armstrong and then A-Rod. Kate is an Aries born on April 19, 1979 in Los Angeles. She is the daughter of Goldie Hawn and was totally ignored by her biological father. She grew up in Colorado.
Now Kate is a woman addicted to chaos. She has a grand square in Cardinal, Her Sun is 28 degrees of Aries, square her Moon in Capricorn, opposite Pluto in Libra and square Jupiter in Cancer. She is what is known as an old Soul. She is a fighter, with charm, she has not had it easy, although it appears that way. That is not the way it is in her life. She lives with tension and stress and that means chaos rules, but she is extremely tough.
You don’t hear her crying the blues when lovers leave. She is not a cry baby like Jessica Simpson, who is a Cancer, known for her tears when her guys leave. Kate had to learn early in life how to deal with her missing biological father, although she claims her mother’s lover, Kurt Russell is her daddy, there is still pain involved. And she was just hit by the Eclipse which means more change for her in the next six months. Just watch it.
 She is not attracted to ordinary men. She likes them to have heavy problems that create excitement and cause chaos. He husband, the father of her child was Chris Robinson, frontman for The Black Crows. She married him in 2000 and had her son in January 2004. Kate left Chris in 2006 and they divorced in 2007. By then she was hanging out with Owen Wilson, who was hospitalized after trying to commit suicide, They broke up and then got back together when he got out of the hospital. We all call that type of a relationship chaos.
 Owen and Kate parted once again and then Kate started up with Lance Armstrong, a Virgo, who won the Tour de France seven times, but he also battled cancer and brings that history into a relationship, plus he has three children with his first wife. Now there has got to be a few problems in that type of relationship.
That romance lasted a couple of months and then who is she attracted to good old A-Rod, who brings plenty of Leo pride to any relationship. He is a high maintenance, high living baseball player and will certainly provide Kate with fun and games for a time. This proved to be true. After all the summer of their romance he was playing at the top of his game.
What in Kate’s chart gives her the charm and the magic personality to attract these high flying men?
She has Neptune trine the Sun, and Jupiter trine her Venus in Pisces, now although she has her own Aries type of aggression and enthusiasm she is extremely charming and men, particularly those with their own set of addictions, love the charm of her.
She is also a magic person, full of life and looking for a good time. That is also what helped her in winning fame in just a few movie appearances. Her film “Almost Famous” got her an Academy Award nomination and a Golden Globe prize as the best supporting actress in her role. And the word around town is she is full of energy and vim in the new movie, “Nine.”
When you combine her cute little face with the challenges she has faced in dealing with her father issues, you have a woman who is charming but tough. And she admires powerful men, men who want control. Can you imagine anyone telling either Lance Armstrong or A-Rod what to do?
And she can put up with their nonsense for just so long and then she too must march off and find a new pal to fall in love with and charm. But when the chaos dies down Kate is off on another new adventure.  So one can certainly assume that Kate got busy making movies and A-Rod has never been one to sit home and wait. He is a high maintainance kind of man. There is also no way Kate would give up her fabulous movie making career for any man no matter how hot he is.

Just watch out in the late hours of the day because Uranus always brings our the worst in most of us and we forget who we really are. Not a good night to believe anything from romance to business. So the answer is to have a good time and believe little of what anyone has to say.

There could be a few exceptions but most of this Virgo Moon day will be a time of craziness and poor decisions. This is because Mercury will square Neptune at around 8 P.M. just as you are starting out to find yourself a new love. I would suggest, all vibes considered, you wait for a better day.

Did you wonder as I did when John Allen Muhammad, the man who shot up the Washington, D.C. area killing 10 people at random In 2002 and was put to death on Tuesday night, was born? He was born on December 29, 1960. He had the Moon in Gemini and The Sun and Mercury in Capricorn. In his natal chart he had Mars in Cancer opposite his Mercury, Jupiter and Saturn. That would give anyone a hot temper and the thinking would be cold and calculating.

And according to reports he was angry at his wife, who left him and had their three children. His anger was so intense at her she had a restraining order in an attempt to keep him away from her and the children. Some say he was on his way to find her. kill her and then decided to just kill others at random.

Well there you are once again showing the Saturn and Pluto square in Libra and Capricorn is creating some settling of conflicts which surely some people had with John Allen Muhammad.

The new movie “Precious” has received rave reviews from critics and the N.Y. Times had a big story about the production of the film, but if you plan to see it you had better have a strong stomach for the torture we humans can give each other. Story includes sex between father and daughter and the resulting two children, plus the pain caused by the mother of this unfortunate young girl.

Mariah Carey and Lenny Kravitz, both well known singers have roles in his film, which is based on the book “Push” by Sapphire. Directed by Lee Daniels it was also a hit at the recent New York Film Festival. Aside from th sex and wild words the movie is about the human capacity to grow and overcome the wild side of life.

Here are the birthdays of a couple of the Yankee players: Andy Pettitte, June 15, 1972; Derek Jeter, June 26, 1974; A Rod, July 27, 1975; Johnny Damon, November 5, 1973; Hideki Matsui, June 12, 1974.

Remember good old boy Bernard Kerik, New York City Police Commissioner, who was right there helping out on September 11, 2001. He was the hero, but how times change. He has just plead guilty to lying to the White House when he was trying to get the appointment as Homeland Security Chief during the Bush years. He also has plans to plead guilty to three other federal criminal charges. These pleas will cut his time in jail. If he goes to the courts he faces years in prison if found guilty.

If you remember where Saturn has been for the past couple of years you won’t be surprised to find that Mr. Kerik was born on September 4, 1955 in Newark. He is a Virgo. His Moon is in Aries and his Mercury is 4 degrees in Libra. Saturn is about to hit his Mercury so you can be sure he is not to happy about the way his life is now going. Even if he is working at getting less time in jail.

He has Venus and Mars in Virgo so he has been suffering a long time paying for his flashy life style. Guess that’s how people feel once they get caught.

By the way the new governor of N.J. was born on September 6, 1982. Just two days after Mr. Kerik different year, but a Virgo is a Virgo. Now this just shows you how Astrology works. A Virgo works hard in whatever they try to do.

So here we have a new governor who worked hard to get the job, and we have Bernie who also worked hard to get his way, but it is all in how you do the work. The pay off is the pay off. Good works pay good and bad same thing and when Saturn is in your Sun Sign and its been in Virgo you get your pay off. If you are a Libra just remember that because your pay off is just around the corner.

Leo birthday people should remember that Mars is now in Leo for a long stay and could create havoc unless you use care and watch what you get yourself involved in and with.

New Jersey’s new Governor Chris Christie is a Virgo, born on September 6, 1962 in Newark. He grew up in Livingston and obviously wasn’t always overweight because in high school he was on the basketball team.

Our new governor has a Scorpio Moon so he doesn’t forget or forgive easily and is determined to keep secrets and get those who cross him. A Virgo with a Scorpio Moon spends plenty of time at work and works hard and with the Scorpio He also has his Mercury in Libra, so although he can be a picky Virgo, he thinks alot like a Libra. He hasn’t the issues that some public officials have. He has the chart of a man with few hangups. Certainly he likes to eat, but then again he is extremely intense with his Scorpio Moon and anyone who reads a newspaper or listens to the news knows Christie likes chasing lawbreakers, especially those in the political arena.

For anyone interested in the study of Astrology here’s a blog that is just great. Donna Cunningham has a blog that is just full of information.

If you are a Michael Jackson fan you must see the movie “This is It.” It was just awesome. It is hard to believe that during the filming of the movie he was close to dying. He was one fantastic performer. His daddy says they used doubles, well maybe they did, but i don’t think the entire movie was doubles. Plus the ideas in the show were mostly Michael’s. Just look at the film credits. No matter what Michael was one talented lad. And he was able to work hard and was really, really creative and demanding not only of himself, but it looks like he was demanding of everyone who worked with him. Go see the movie. It is well worth it.

The kitty is the latest addition to my family “Reeces.”

Two billionaires married on Sunday at the Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, N.J. Ivanka Trump, a Scorpio, born on October 30, 1981 and Jared Kushner, publisher of the N.Y. Observor and executive in his daddy’s commercial real estate company. Ivanka, has her Mercury conjunct Uranus in Scorpio and the Moon in Sagittarius. Now that makes for one intense lady. She wore a Vera Wang wedding dress and diamonds galore.

Yankees won the second game of the World series and it was, according to news reports because Joe Girardi, the Yankee manager is a Libra born on October 14, 1964, A former catcher he took over the team and really pulled it together.

C.C.Sabathia, who is a Leo, born July 21, 1980 took the MVP crown this year and he is new to the team.

On the right is a pastel “Lilies” which I recently completed. It will be on exhibit at the Guild of Creative Art in November.

Steve Phillips did a real job on himself this time. He was fired over the weekend by ESPN for his recent behavior, plus his wife has filed for divorce and his four kids must be sad. His lady friend was also fired and he is now in rehab for sex addiction. Now if that is what it takes to get you in rehab there you are.

If you read the sports page, front page, watch TV or bounce around the internet you have heard of Steve Phillips in the past couple of days. He was born on May 18, 1963, which makes him a Taurus with a Pisces Moon. So you can be sure he feels like the victim.

But he is the guy who cheats on his wife, who is now divorcing him because of his latest affair with a woman who is young enough to be his daughter. Only problem Steve had with this young lover is she turned it into a “Fatal Attraction” type of experience. One can be sure he is not happy about this. Here he is a Taurus, who really wants family and then his Pisces Moon, and he has to face this whole mess on the front pages. Have you seen this gal’s photo. And that is what he couldn’t resist? Just no telling what turns them on.

Steve, who is the former GM of the N.Y.Mets and had an affair or two during his time with the Mets and eventually got fired for whatever reason. Then was hired by ESPN. So he is now a big shot with ESPN or as he is called a sports analyst. Turns out the young woman he admitted he had been with more than once, thought he was in love with her. She proceeds to turn up at his house, tries to get in touch with his son via email and writes to his wife. She must have seen the movie.

Anyway as Astrology people we would wonder how come? Neptune is now square his Sun and that often creates deception. Then Uranus is now in Pisces conjunct his Moon. That aspect alone is enough to send anyone over the top. He’ll be lucky if he ends up in one piece.
