Update: Cameron Confirmed to Be a Controlling Virgo

Aha! The New York Daily News has totally corroborated my analysis of Justin Timberlake and Cameron Diaz's relationship. I so knew she was not all like, "La la, I'm a free-spirited surfer girl, tee hee," like she acts.

"Justin has told friends he's 'confused,'" one informant tells us. "He likes Cameron a lot. But he's 25. He says he just doesn't know how committed he can be. He needs space. Cameron is a little controlling." [Source]

Well, DUH, she's a Virgo with a Cancer Moon -- of COURSE she's a little controlling. (Cameron Diaz's birth chart; Astrotheme) This space-needing business is exactly the dynamic I envisioned between them in my March 9 post:

I'm guessing that from moment one, Cameron has been trying to sink her claws of commitment into Justin while he bobs and weaves. She's all, "Where is this going? What am I to you? Can I keep a toothbrush and a change of underwear here?" and he's all, "Whoa, why does it have to be about labels? Can't we just, like, live in the moment? Why don't you just turn your underwear inside out?" Okay, maybe not that last part, but you get the picture. With all that air and fire, Justin does not need an earth-sign ball and chain like Cameron. And in fairness, she certainly doesn't need a hard-to-pin-down Aquarian constantly denying her the sense of security her Taurus Moon craves. [Source]

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Aquarius-Virgo matches are bad news. An Aquarius with Moon in Sagittarius like Justin (see Justin Timberlake's birth chart; Astrotheme) can't deal with the stifling factor of an obsessive-compulsive Virgo and needs a more flexible, spontaneous partner like... oh, I don't know, say, a Sagittarius with an Aquarius Moon. Huzzah, let the Justin-Britney reunion watch begin!

Update: Timberlake's rep, Ken Sunshine, calls this report "garbage." [Source] And clearly, no one named Sunshine would ever possibly try to put a positive spin on a sucky situation. Ken, dear, a word of advice: The Sun is about as prominent in the birth horoscope as it is in your name. No amount of publicist denial can hide the fundamental incompatibility of the Aquarius-Virgo couple.

This post has been edited since it was originally posted to include links to birth charts and the publicist rebuttal. Why the revision, you ask? Maybe because Mercury went direct between then and now?
