Nicole Kidman Uses the F Word

Well, it's official. Another couple has chosen to defy all astrological wisdom and give a Gemini-Scorpio marriage a go. When will people learn?

In New York City on Saturday, Nicole Kidman hosted the 30th Anniversary gala for the organization UNIFEM. Her date? Keith Urban, who, she admits, is not just her boyfriend. "He's actually my fiancé," Kidman exclusively told PEOPLE on Monday. "I wouldn't be bringing my boyfriend." [Source]

First of all, how self-centered is that? It's not the prom, lady, it's a friggin' benefit to raise awareness about international women's rights, so it's kinda shallow to be all like, "Keith, you're not coming to the gala until I get a ring!" Secondly, way to wish you were Angelina with the whole U.N. thing. (Although I have to admit, Nicole was adopting multicultural children while Angie was still smearing herself with blood.)

But I digress. Now, I have gone on record saying that, despite some connections between their horoscopes, I feel that Nicole and Keith will not last. I have even gone so far as to suggest that while he is portrayed in the press as the commitment-shy one, her horoscope reveals that Nic is not necessarily the settling-down type. ~ See Nicole Kidman's astrological chart (Astrotheme) In March, I predicted that they would either split up at the end of April or embark on a short-lived marriage:

Uranus' square to Nicole's Moon becomes exact at the end of April. And with stationary Saturn still putting pressure on her Jupiter around this time, the urge to escape could become overpowering. Will Nic pull a Runaway Bride and flee her commitment to Keith? Or will she make like Renee Zellwegger and actually marry him, only to nullify the nuptials four months later -- in August, when Uranus retrogrades over the square to her Moon? Either way, expect to see some major changes in Nicole's emotional life in the coming months. [Source]

So far Nic seems to be right on schedule with her engagement announcement. Impulsive Uranus' square to her spontaneous Sagittarius Moon is still very close to exact. But Venus is on her Saturn, reinforcing the lovely, harmonious Grand Trine between her natal Moon, Venus and Saturn, which makes her feel this is the right time to announce a binding emotional commitment.

With Jupiter, the ruler of her Sagittarius Moon, not far from her Ascendant, she would seem to be feeling optimistic about the future. But Jupiter is retrograde and square to Saturn in Leo on the Midheaven. Perhaps Nicole is having doubts, but feels pressured by the public attention on her to move forward with the relationship for the sake of her career.

Uranus will be messing with Nicole's Moon until early 2007, so it will be most interesting to see how this relationship evolves. I still think that it will not last; if they do get to the altar, it could be a Chad Michael Murray–duration marriage. With Keith's Scorpio Sun in Nicole's 12th house, it would not surprise me to see revelations emerge that he has been keeping secrets from her, possibly involving Scorpio-ruled matters such as...oh, I don't know...sex? See Keith Urban's astrological chart (Astrotheme, no birth time) Nic, honey, those Scorpio men are awfully seductive, but you've gotta watch out for them. And I hope we don't even need to have a conversation about the urgency of drafting a she-nup.
