Celeb AstroBlogy: Kristy Swanson and Lloyd Eisler Are Expecting an Aquarius Baby!!!

OMG, OMG, OMG! As faithful readers know, I am obsessed with figure skating, obsessed with celebrities and obsessed with Buffy the Vampire Slayer. So I was pretty much over the moon about Skating with Celebrities, starring O.G. Buffy Kristy Swanson. And I was even further (closer?) beside myself when it turned out that Kristy's superhot on-ice chemistry with partner and eventual co-winner Lloyd Eisler was extending beyond the rink. (Yeah, yeah, I know, he left his pregnant wife and kid for her. These things happen. This is O.G. Buffy we're talking about here, people. Don't hate!) And now comes the delicious icing-on-the-cake word that the rumors are true. Kristy and Lloyd are expecting a baby! {Source: CBB}

As I reported back in February when the news of the hookup broke, Kristy, a Sagittarius, and Lloyd, a Taurus, are not traditionally the best match. But, fortuitously, Kristy has a Taurus Moon, which makes for a nice connection in a romantic relationship. (Traditionally, a man's Moon in a woman's Sun sign is supposed to be the ideal, but I'm all about Sun-Moon connections making a couple compatible regardless of how they map out gender-wise.){Read the full story on Kristy and Lloyd's romantic compatibility} The baby is due on Valentine's Day, 2007, making him/her an Aquarius.

Adding a little air to the mix (Aquarius is the water-bearer but an air sign; it's a common misconception that Aquarius is a water sign) should make things even more interesting for this earth-fire couple. Unconventional Aquarius is typically more simpatico with free-spirited fire sign Sagittarius than with stable earth sign Taurus, so the baby may have more in common with mama Kristy than with daddy Lloyd.

Given their Sun signs, these two might actually reverse gender roles when it comes to parenting. With his nurturing Taurus Sun and Cancer Moon, Lloyd might be the one who's home baking cookies and tending the vegetable garden, while Sagittarian Kristy is the one who takes the kid out to the park to toss the ball around.

With a vampire slayer for a mom and a figure skater for a dad, this child is going to turn out to be one cool little Aquarius. I heartily encourage everyone to put aside the hateration and congratulate this cute couple on their forthcoming Aquarian addition to the fam!
