Carmen and Dave: Another Consecutive-Sign Couple Splits

Well, the inevitable has come to pass. Like so many consecutive-sign couples before them, Taurus Carmen Electra and Gemini Dave Navarro have accepted their fundamental incompatibility and announced their split. {Source}

Now, having predicted in June that they were at the breaking point, I can't help but feel some schadenfreudey sense of vindication... not in that I wished Carmen and Dave any ill but because, frankly, I've been feeling a bit sheepish over my hubris in prematurely declaring Justin and Cameron over. (So much for energetic manifestation of thoughts on the physical plane!) But while those latter two apparently continue unrepentantly to perpetuate the abomination that is an Aquarius-Virgo relationship, Carmen and Dave seem to have come to acknowledge that their dynamic is astrologically awkward. As I reported back in June, earthy Taurus seeks steadiness and security while airy Gemini hates to be pinned down; their ego needs are on some level mutually exclusive.

News of the split comes as the Sun conjuncts retrograde Mercury (information) at 25°, right on Carmen's Moon at 26° Cancer, representing her emotions. ~ See Carmen Electra's birth chart (Astrotheme) With the Mercury retrograde providing a chance to correct misinformation or set the record straight, this announcement could be an acknowledgement of a split that actually happened some time ago, or it could represent Carmen finally vocalizing (Mercury) her true feelings (Moon/Cancer) after sticking it out for as long as she could stand it (loyal Taureans are always loath to throw in the towel). Further, the Uranus aspect I discussed in June is still in effect: Uranus at 15° Pisces is right on her Venus-Mars conjunction at 14° Pisces, bringing Carmen a desire to break free of relationships and embark on a new course.

Meanwhile, in Dave's chart, retrograde Uranus is moving back toward the cusp of the 7th house of partnership, likewise creating upheaval and restlessness around his relationships. ~ See Dave Navarro's birth chart (Astrotheme) Uranus is also forming a loose T-square with his natal Sun-Pluto square, which already gives him a tendency to need to be in control and to bolt if he feels his power threatened.

I wish both of these two the best of luck in finding their separate ways with partners of more compatible zodiac signs. That said: Dave, if you're looking for another swarthy, curvy Taurus girl to rebound with, you know how to reach me.
