Britney: Baby One More Time?

Oh, my poor, dear Britney. What can I say about your marriage, life and possible, now seemingly ever more certain, pregnancy that will get you to heed my warnings? Now the ever-reliable Us Weekly is reporting that Britney is definitely, visibly, inconcealably (especially in a bikini) pregnant, per a bunch of people sitting around a hotel pool, who obviously could not be wrong.

Supposedly Britney is due on October 2 or 3, which would make her second-born a Libra, a good match for a Sag like Britney (although very different from Virgo sib Sean Preston). See Sean Preston Federline's birth chart (Astrotheme) And if the baby were indeed born on Oct. 2 or 3, it would have an Aquarius Moon like Britney. See Britney Spears' birth chart (Astrotheme)

But is Britney really pregnant? The gossipmonger I respect most, Ted Casablanca, is voicing some suspicions:

"There was the Caesars employee who described Brit as 'definitely pregnant' only to shake her head and say 'of course, it could be baby weight.'

Far more insistent was one of K-Fed's numerous amigos.... 'I'm here with them,' he said, all proud.... 'And my boy's gonna be a daddy again. She's having the baby in September. C-section.'

Such odd talk from a dude, doncha think? Especially given that he was at a table full of strangers. Yet so specific was this information that I had no choice but to put in a call to Brit's lovely flack. Apparently, the Spears spokeswoman didn't like this guy's maneuverings, either. She hasn't responded. So far." [Source]

For the past couple of years, Neptune, the planet of confusion and deception, has been conjuncting Britney's Moon, representing the mother principle, in Aquarius, sign of the public and mass media, in the 5th house of childbirth. So it's no surprise that there is widespread lack of clarity about what's really happening in Brit's belly. With Mars having just crossed her Midheaven (career goals), she has recently been focused on her career (working on her album in Hawaii). Chiron, the planet of wounding, is inconjuncting Mars as it approaches a station within a few degrees of Britney's 5th-house Moon. This suggests that a pregnancy would force Britney to adjust her current career comeback-oriented M.O. If, as Us reports, she indeed cried when she got the pregnancy news, she could be grieving the loss of her album (a creative output that, like childbirth, is ruled by the 5th house) and the chance to get back into the spotlight, as well as the fact that another baby keeps her tethered to Kevin (Us says she had thoughts of splitting with him, hence the tears upon learning of the pregnancy).

Lord knows that as much as I love Britney, anything that keeps her married to Kevin, not to mention brings more Federlines into the world, cannot be a good thing. Well, of course time will tell whether Brit has a bun in the oven or just a little excess padding. I don't know what those people by the pool saw, but based on her chart alone, I'm still holding out some hope that my girl will wait to have her next baby with her next husband.
