Celeb Birthdays: April 8

Okay, okay, so it's been a bit of a nutty week and I've missed a couple of days of festive birthday fun. I apologize for any trauma I may have caused. With no further looking back, on to today's celebrating celebrities!

Yay, there is no birthday more exciting than a Buffy birthday! Happy 33rd to Anya, a.k.a. Anyanka, and let us not forget Brandon Walsh's Girlfriend Who Had an Abortion, a.k.a. the gorgeous and hilarious Emma Caulfield. See Emma Caulfield's astrological chart (Astrotheme, no birth time)

Patricia Arquette, who kicked such ass in True Romance, turns 38. She's got a very powerful, dynamic chart with Sun and Saturn in Aries conjunct the Midheaven, a Leo Ascendant and Moon-Jupiter in the first house. See Patricia Arquette's astrological chart (Astrotheme)

Aries Robin Wright Penn, still beautiful at 40, is a pretty good match for a Leo like Sean Penn -- although there's nothing quite as passionate as a Leo-Leo relationship like Sean and Madonna had. Sigh.... See Robin Wright Penn's astrological chart (Astrotheme, no birth time)

Oh, baby, you have got what 42-year-old Biz Markie needs.

How is Julian Lennon already 43?? See Julian Lennon's astrological chart (Astrotheme)

Guns n' Roses' Izzy Stradlin turns 44.

O.G. Bo Duke John Schneider turns 52. See John Schneider's astrological chart (Astrotheme, no birth time)

It just warms my heart that Tom DeLay will be spending his 59th at home, with his family, where he belongs. With Jupiter conjunct his Scorpio Ascendant, no wonder he's so good at manipulating people. See Tom DeLay's astrological chart (Astrotheme)

Punk fashion muse Vivienne Westwood is still cutting-edge at 65. See Vivienne Westwood's astrological chart (Astrotheme)

Über-U.N.er Kofi Annan hits 68 today. With all those planets in Aries and Taurus, I don't see how he manages to be diplomatic ever, much less for a living. See Kofi Annan's astrological chart (Astrotheme, no birth time)

The patron saint of pill-poppers and lushes everywhere, Betty Ford, is 88. With the Virgo Ascendant being opposed by her Moon in Pisces, and Mars conjuncting it from the 12th house, it's no great shock that she would have had addiction issues, maybe related to managing anxiety.ß See Betty Ford's astrological chart (Astrotheme)
