Today's Birfdays: February 11

These water-bearers came into the world on this date.

Kelly Rowland of Destiny's Child gets a rare chance to be the center of attention as she turns 25.

It's hard to believe Brandy is 27 and a mom.

Clearly the stars are aligned for R&B today, as torsolicious singer D'Angelo is 32.

Surfer and Gisele rebound-boy Kelly Slater is 34 but presumably an eternal adolescent inside.

Jennifer Aniston is 37 -- check out her birthday reading for 2006.

Recent dumpee Sheryl Crow will be crying into her 44 candles. Get the astrological breakdown on the breakup.

Burt Reynolds is 70 years studly.

Aquarius rules elctricity, new technology and progress, so it's fitting that Thomas Edison would be 159 today.

Angelina's Ascendant: Correction

Thanks to reader Roxanne for pointing out this important and embarrassing error. It seems I had calculated Angelina Jolie's chart with a birth time of 9:09 PM, rather than the correct birth time of 9:09 AM per astrodatabank.com. I am chagrined by my carelessness! As Roxanne noted, this means that Angelina does not have a Sagittarius Ascendant, but rather a Cancer Ascendant. (The original article on Angelina's chart and compatibility with Brad can be found here.)

Interestingly, the morning birth time brings a different kind of Sagittarius influence into Angelina's chart, with the Moon, Mars, and Jupiter (Sag's ruler) in the Sag-ruled 9th house. Jupiter is conjunct the Moon and the Aries Midheaven, signaling Angelina's huge ambitions and her desire for success on her own terms. And the Moon (motherhood) in the 9th house of world travel reflects her affinity for acquiring international children.

The Cancer Ascendant, with Venus conjuncting it from the 12th house, certainly describes Angie's sensual-goddess image and her mysterious allure. Her Ascendant/Venus opposes Brad's Moon/Venus in Capricorn.

I regret the error and will be extra vigilant checking birth data in future!

Aniston Rising

Say what you will about Jennifer Aniston; the girl has had a tough year. On the occasion of her 37th birthday tomorrow, February 11, I took a look at her solar return chart to see what 2006 has in store for the relentlessly perky Aquarius.

After a publicly tumultuous 2005 during which she struggled to find her ground, Jen hits her stride with this birthday. Her solar return chart shows all four angles in the same signs as they are in her birth chart (Aries rising, Cancer Midheaven), which suggests that this year she will come into her own, feeling comfortable and confident with who she is. Jupiter in Scorpio is rising, lending her an optimistic outlook (if perhaps a cautious one). Venus in long-term-planner Capricorn conjunct the 4th house cusp of home and foundation suggests that this year Jen could put down roots by purchasing a permanent home.

Indicators for romance and/or pregnancy are mixed. The Sun is conjunct the 5th house cusp of romance, creativity and childbearing, so Jen could have her heart set on a sweetheart and/or babies. And the Moon is in romantic Leo, which rules the 5th house, another maternal indicator. But the Moon is in the 10th house of career, conjunct Saturn, the planet of responsibility and limitation. So Jen's jones for true love and babies could once again run into roadblocks due to her professional life and her desire to be in the spotlight. Saturn opposes Chiron in Aquarius in the 4th house, suggesting Jennifer's ability to open her heart could be limited by her fear of getting hurt again -- and publicly.

Will Vince be the man to heal her wounds? Well, his Venus trines her Moon and conjuncts her 7th house cusp of relationships as well as her Saturn, suggesting she feels like she can rely on him and he really cares for her. And his Sun and Mercury are conjunct her Venus, so there is easy communication in their relationship. He is supportive of her and gets an ego boost from her affections. Furthermore, their Moons are both in Sagittarius (though out of orb of a conjunction), so they are emotionally simpatico and have a lot of fun together. Still, with all that said, two Venus in Aries and Moon in Sagittarius people are not the most commitment-bound couple. There's a lot of fire in this relationship, but not much grounding it (except perhaps Vince's loyal Mars in Taurus, in mutual reception with his Venus). It may be that Jen is enjoying the passionate sparks of their connection, and Vince is bringing out the impulsive, adventurous side of her Aries and Sag planets. But living in the moment may be part of the appeal of this match. They're enjoying the now, but over time, the sparks may fizzle.

Today's Birfdays: February 10

Let's face it, folks, it's a B-list day for birthdays. But give it up for these mildly acclaimed Aquarians anyway.

Laura Dern should spend her 39th thanking her lucky stars that she is married to Scorpio hottie Ben Harper and not Leo serial groom Billy Bob Thornton.

George Stephanopoulos is still somewhat dreamy at 45.

Despite continuing to claim that she is being killed softly for many years now, Roberta Flack has lived to turn 69.

And the King of the B-listers, Robert Wagner, is all of 76 today. Astropro has his complete birth chart if you care to see the Sun-Venus conjunction and Scorpio Ascendant trining Pluto that make for such raw sexual magnetism. Rrowr!

Today's Birfdays: February 9

Today these Aquarians will have their cake and eat it, presumably in that order...

Russian champion Irina Slutskaya is an elder stateswoman of figure skating at 27, but she's still going for Olympic gold. Best of luck to her (although I still want my girl Michelle Kwan to win!)!

Pixie-ish, pointy-chinned actresses Mena Suvari and Ziyi Zhang also celebrate their 27th birthdays today.

String theory stud Brian Greene is 43. I'd like to say I'll honor him today by cracking his book, but that would be a lie.

The immortal JM J. Bullock is 51. If you have to ask....

Who's the Boss's Judith Light is 57. Wonder if she clashed on-set with Taurus Tony Danza?

Mia Farrow will doubtless spend her 62nd surrounded by all the children who didn't run off with her ex-husband.

The Color Purple author Alice Walker is 62, and it seems inappropriate to say anything sarcastic about her. I hate when that happens!

Grammy Predictions: Kanye's Saturn Return

Do people still care about the Grammys? Eh, maybe not so much. But since it is a slow day in the world of cosmic celebrity news, I thought I'd do a little horoscope-based handicapping of a couple of the most prominent nominees.

First off, Kanye West's chart gave me a bit of a chuckle since it so obviously sums up his loose-cannon, say-anything persona. With his Sun and Jupiter conjunct in hyper-mental, articulate Gemini, Kanye is not only a gifted rapper but a guy who really enjoys shooting his mouth off. With his Venus and Mars conjunct at 1° Taurus, he is as stubborn as Geminis come, with a stick-to-his-guns value system. (Venus Taurus would also explain his penchant for sporting designer labels and hanging hernia-inducing hunks of gold around his neck.) Since Chiron also conjuncts Venus and Mars, albeit not quite as tightly, there is a certain defensiveness about these values. Witness last year, when he was unapologetic about proclaiming that he was robbed of a Best New Artist trophy. This is a man who has a rock-solid sense of his own self-worth, but still needs the validation that comes with announcing it to the world. (After all, "Gold Digger" was the best song of the year; you kinda can't fault him for pointing it out.)

This year, with glamour-and-glitter Neptune in Aquarius trining his Sun, conjunct the transiting Sun, Kanye might well find himself in the spotlight. On the other hand, transiting Venus and Jupiter are squeezing his natal Sun into a yod, perhaps forcing him to take a good look at his own ego. Kanye's been going through his Saturn return since late last year, accounting for both the recognition he's received for his hard work, and the public reproach he earned by criticizing government authorities. (After all, George Bush really doesn't care about black people; you kinda can't fault him for pointing it out.) Right now Saturn is retrograde, so it may not be time for Kanye to rest on his laurels just yet. In the long run, a Grammy disappointment could actually benefit him more, by driving home a Saturn-in-Leo lesson about the nature of fame and the importance of expressing your genuine self regardless of the public's response. But with Mars transiting Kanye's Mercury in Taurus, in the near term, Kanye could react to a loss with an angry verbal outburst. And with Mercury, Venus, Mars and Chiron in Taurus, let's just say you wouldn't like Kanye when he's angry.

Stay tuned for a post analyzing Aries diva Mariah Carey and her triumphant Annus Mariahbilis.

UPDATE: Upon pulling up Mariah's chart it became clear that it would require far too much analysis to complete before the Grammy start date. However, Kanye himself seconded my sentiments during the broadcast when he warned, "If I don't win, there's gonna be a problem!" Indeed he hogged the spotlight with his fantastic performance of "Gold Digger," a lyrical homage to his Taurus stellium (Mercury + Venus in Taurus = "Holla 'We want pre-nup!'"), but looked far too invested in getting the recognition of a win. I'm glad he took home at least a few minor categories, and hope that Taurus Bono's acceptance-speech shoutout gave him the encouragement he needs to learn his Saturn-return lessons wisely.

Britney in the Breakdown Lane?

Oh, dear Britney, what is happening to you? With Neptune moving off your Moon and the glow fading from your so-called soulmate relationship with that skeezeball, I thought you were finally getting back in touch with your real feelings. The fact that your Moon is conjunct with that of your newborn son Cletus Jr., I mean Sean Preston; that your caring, responsible Mars in Virgo conjuncts his Sun; and that your Jupiter (growth and expansion) conjuncts baby SPF's Venus, gave me hope that you would be devoting a lot of energy to his physical and emotional needs, and reevaluating your own priorities in the process. While other bloggers (for instance, Perez Hilton) have decried your recent appearance as proof that you have just given up, I have until now willed myself to perceive it as evidence that you have matured and transcended such shallow, superficial concerns as hair, makeup, fashion and ... did I already say hair?

But in any case, there was no excusing your recent incident of driving with Sean on your lap. (CNN: "Britney defends driving with son on lap") Of course, with Uranus in Pisces squaring your Sun, outbursts of erratic behavior are possible. (Perhaps you shouldn't operate heavy machinery for the next few weeks?) And with transiting Mars in bull-headed Taurus inconjuncting Pluto, you probably really did feel overpowered by "physically aggressive paparazzi" (Mars rules physical aggression, Pluto power and control) and flee in panic ... but that impulse clearly backfired, as your instinct to protect your son actually put him in more danger.

Britney, you know I love your spontaneity. With the Sun, Mercury amd Uranus clustered in fiery Sagittarius, being impetuous is just part of who you are. But now that you're a mama, you need to tap into your Aquarius Moon's ability to detach emotionally and keep your cool. You can't just traipse through life letting those mutable-fire planets propel you where they will. Yes, Sagittarians are known for being free-spirited, but most of them don't go barefoot into gas station bathrooms.

Britney, with Mars in Taurus trining your natal Mars in Virgo (and your son's Sun), you have a nice window of opportunity in the first couple weeks of this month to change your habits and set out on a healthier, more consistent routine. Go to Mommy & Baby Yoga and release some of that stale negative energy left over from dealing with the mean photographers. It's important to lay that ground work now, in order to develop the inner resolve to deal with the second half of February through early March, when Uranus will be increasing its pressure on your Sun, making your day-to-day life feel even more out of control and chaotic. (Say, that would be a good name for some sort of televised documentary footage of your life...) Anyway, this is a pivotal moment, my dear. If you don't make an effort to center yourself and clear some of the chaos out of your life, you may well find yourself jerked around by Uranus, and no one wants that.

Today's Birfdays: February 8

A new age of Aquarius will be dawning today for these celebs...

Amazingly positive-minded surfer Bethany Hamilton will be celebrating her 16th year of life and continuing to make me feel sheepish for being all "Why God, why" when I so much as stub my toe.

Although he is now 32, charming Seth Green will always exist in my mind as the equally immortal characters of Oz from "Buffy" and the geek from "Can't Hardly Wait" lamenting the waste of his flava.

In honor of his 38th, I will refrain from making snide remarks about the career path of Gary Coleman. Oh, wait...

My high school boyfriend was very proud of sharing his birthday with Motley Crüe über-lech Vince Neil, which makes me highly depressed to report that he is 47. (Vince, not my ex.)

If Nick Nolte wants to spend his 65th wandering the streets in his pajamas, heavily self-medicated to the point of incoherence, more power to him. After all, this is America!

For that matter, if Ted Koppel wants to spend his 66th wandering the streets in his pajamas, heavily self-medicated to the point of incoherence, I won't judge him either. Aquarians simply will not be bound by convention.

"Rebel Without a Cause" could be an Aquarian rallying cry, so it's no surprise that James Dean would have been 75 today.

Never Mind Keith -- Can Nicole Commit?

All the media chatter around Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban's blossoming relationship has focused on the question of whether he can settle down and commit to her. Well, what I'd like to know is, can she commit to him, or to anyone?

Sure, with her Mercury in Cancer, Nicole talks a good game about settling down with the whole white-picket-fence deal. And with Venus and Jupiter in Leo, she comes off as a hopeless romantic, wearing her heart on her sleeve and getting it dramatically broken with regularity. When she bats those flirty Gemini eyes, the public assumes that this plucky lass who loves too much has been used and abused by the fickle likes of Tom Cruise/Lenny Kravitz/Steven *shudder* Bing/the aforementioned Keith. But doesn't it ever occur to anyone that a Gemini with a Sagittarius Moon might actually enjoy all this partner-hopping? Serial dating is the preferred modus operandi of the Gemini. And while Sagittarius Moon types will gladly hop a plane to the ends of the earth (or, say, Nashville) to pursue a romantic adventure, the idea of being tied down in a commitment terrifies them. It may be that marriage is not Nicole's goal at all. If she's having fun with her passionate flings, why stop playing the field? With the Venus-Jupiter conjunction in Leo, she's all about following her heart, but with her Sun and Moon in mutable signs, it may lead her in several different directions.

Ironically, Keith Urban, a Scorpio with the Moon either in Cancer or Leo, Venus and Jupiter in Virgo, and Mars in Capricorn, seems much more capable of building a lasting commitment than Nicole. With the Sun and Mercury in Scorpio, it may be that he hides the depth of his feelings until he's utterly certain that he won't get hurt -- then he's in for the long haul.

I doubt, though, that Keith will be the man to make Nicole settle down. Since I don't have either of their birth times, there may be some dynamic I'm not seeing (perhaps the Leo Moon vibing with her Venus-Jupiter), but their charts don't really have strong connections with each other. Their Suns form a benign out-of-sign trine, but this just suggests that they get along harmoniously, rather than possessing any deep bond or even great sexual chemistry. Really, a shared love of Vegemite can only take you so far as a couple.

So who might be a better match for Nicole? Well, maybe once fellow Gemini supastah Angelina Jolie has chewed up and spit out her Sagittarius puppy dog Brad Pitt, Nic will be there to pick up the pieces. Just picture it -- all their multiethnic adopted children frolicking happily together, and Brad with his hair dyed red to match Nicole's. I can't wait!

Today's Birfdays: February 7

These Aquarians share a birthday with my dear friend Sarah...

Mazel tov to Ashton Kutcher, who will doubtless be celebrating his 28th at the Kabbalah Center.

Garth Brooks' lovely bride Trisha will be baking a cake for his 44th. (Not an astrological prediction, I'm just assuming that they conform to traditional gender stereotypes.)

Now that James Spader is 46, he is presumably mature enough to accept the idea of people of different socioeconomic classes attending the prom together.

But I hope turning 46 in no way matures Robert Smigel's twisted potty humor.

It seems fitting that Charles Dickens, who would have been 194 today, was an Aquarius. Water-bearers are known for being astute observers of people and societies, and for their commitment to equality and human rights for all.

UPDATE: A New Jolie in June?

A bit belatedly, I came across this Jan. 31 post on Honeymist's Celebs, a Brit blog which I had never checked out before but was very glad to discover. Honeymist quotes a Star magazine report as saying that...

"....Jolie told [director Robert] Rodriguez she wanted to have the baby 'near her birthday,' which is June 6th.

'It was her mom's idea. She's really into astrology and thought it would be great to have a Gemini like me,' the Star spy reports."

Well, there's certainly a bit of pronoun confusion in the above quote, unless the source was Angelina herself -- which seems unlikely as I don't recall the Star donating a bajillion dollars to Haitian orphans last week. But I'm intrigued by the idea of Angelina's mother wanting to make her first biological grandchild into Angie's tiny twin (Gemini, twin ... see what I did there?). I still think June seems late given the size of her bump, but then I'm pretty sure celebrity pregnancies last longer than other people's. This may be because they exist on a higher plane of reality where time warps and refracts. Katie Holmes, in fact, is so enlightened and thetan-free that the duration of her pregnancy may well approach the asymptotic curve of infinity. Um, what was I talking about again?

Chappelle's Chiron

A dear Taurus friend and I (shoutout to my girl KC) were discussing Dave Chappelle's recent appearance on Oprah (MSNBC), and how anxiety-ridden he seemed. His inability to articulate exactly why he fled to South Africa and abandoned his show was almost refreshing in this world of spin and overly media-trained celebs, except that it was kind of sad. Dave is such a comic genius, and the honesty of his humor is such a breath of fresh air -- his presence on TV and in the popular discourse is sorely missed. So, natch, I thought it would be a good idea to check out his chart and see what his deal is.

Dave's Leo Sun and Mercury in Virgo are in mutual reception, meaning each planet is in a sign ruled by the other. Planets in mutual reception tend to work in concert. In this case, the ego and mind are strongly identified. Dave is up in his own head a lot, strongly invested in expressing his perspective. And Leos need to express themselves like they need oxygen. With the Leo-Virgo combo, there's a strong ego with a lot of anxiety involved. Leo-Virgo people tend to be the type who assume everyone is talking behind their back -- in other words, simultaneously self-absorbed and insecure. Dave also has Venus and Pluto conjunct, so he needs to be in control in all his relationships and financial dealings.

Mercury trines the planetoid Chiron in Aries, which could contribute to his paranoid tendencies or feelings of being threatened. Chiron can show the parts of our lives where we are capable of healing others but feel chronically wounded ourselves. And Dave obviously has a gift for sharply perceptive insights on the way society thinks -- but perhaps he has a blind spot when it comes to knowing his own mind. Explosive Uranus opposes Chiron (common in people born in '73) and sextiles Mercury, signaling a volatile reaction if his buttons are pushed. Unfortunately, without a birth time for the chart, I can't determine the aspects to Dave's Cancer Moon, but if he were born late at night, it could even be forming a T-square (three-way square) to Chiron and Uranus.

On May 4, 2005, when Comedy Central announced the show was halting production, transiting Saturn in Cancer was within range of a T-square to Dave's Chiron-Uranus opposition. The sense of being fenced in or having rigid limits imposed on him (Saturn) may have become unbearable, pushing his buttons (Chiron) fostering the urge to rebel and create chaos (Uranus). Also, transiting Chiron in Aquarius (mass media, public perception) was right on Dave's natal Jupiter (growth, opportunity, good fortune). So in some ways he couldn't even enjoy his success, defensive as he was about people using it to hurt him. "When you're a guy who generates money, people have a vested interested in controlling you," as he told Oprah.

For someone whose identity hinges on speaking his own truth, the sense (real or perceived) that he was being controlled by corporate interests was suffocating (Saturn again). Without the level of creative (Leo) control (Virgo) he needed at work, "I felt like some kind of prostitute or something...." Dave told Oprah. "The hardest thing to do is to be true to yourself, especially when everybody is watching." With colleagues telling him (understandably) that he might need psychiatric help, Dave freaked. With his Sun-Mercury configuration, for people to suggest that his mind wasn't in good working order was to threaten his very identity.

Revealing his Leo side, Dave told Oprah that he loves being famous, and even that he would consider returning to his show if given creative control. Regaining that outlet for self-expression would be tremendously positive for his Virgo-Leo well-being, provided he lays some mental groundwork for coping with the pressures of fame. Were I a New Age guru whom Dave Chappelle had, either on a lark or out of desperation, consented to see, I would recommend that he start incorporating some mind-body practice into his daily regimen. Meditation would help quiet his mind and allow him to hear his own inner voice. A daily practice of back-bending and neck-stretching exercises would open the heart and throat chakras, where Dave is clearly feeling blocked from freely expressing his ideas and emotions. Hopefully he will make an effort to do the psychic work involved in getting his sense of self back -- and, ideally, getting his show back. The world needs to hear his voice.

Eating Crow

Sheryl Crow and Lance Armstrong just split up. Both of them kind of annoy me, especially her because she doesn't have a triumphant conquering-cancer story to make me feel guilty about being annoyed by her, so I'll keep this brief.

Basically, I don't know what they were thinking in the first place with an Aquarius-Virgo match-up. Neither has a confirmed birth time, so it's just possible they have some kind of vibe going with their rising signs, but all I see is a big clump of Virgo planets for Lance and a big clump of Aquarius for Sheryl. This isn't just apples and oranges, this is like apples and broccoli. Sure, Sheryl's Pluto in Virgo conjuncts Lance's Mercury, convincing him that she's, like, totally deep and wise, but he might feel that way about any older woman (at least one born in the early '60s with Pluto in Virgo). And, okay, Sheryl's moon is in earthy, nurturing, loyal Taurus, possibly trining Lance's Sun (this would require a birth time to confirm), which sorta explains what a grounded Virgo would see in such an airy chick. But ultimately there aren't the kind of significant resonances you would expect from two people in a lasting relationship, or capable of building one with each other.

Why, Guy, Why?

As much as I do not want to think of this possibility, the always awesometastic Perez Hilton is again reporting, along with several other blogs, on rumblings of divorce between Madonna and her husband, Guy Richie. Now, I love Madonna fervently and have willfully suppressed any musings about the happiness of her marriage since hearing years ago that she celebrated Guy's birthday with a macrobiotic cake and a three-hour lecture at the Kabbalah Center. I mean, yes, the man is a Virgo and they tend to be neurotically health-conscious, but no one wants to spend a birthday bettering themselves. Anyway, I explore this topic not out of disloyalty to my Madge -- quite the contrary! -- but out of a grave for about her and her family's well-being, and perhaps, it must be admitted, a nascent curiosity about whom she might date next and how cute their babies might be.

Consecutive-sign relationships are always a challenge. It's not that they can never work, but two adjacent wedges of the zodiac will inevitably be on different pages in some fundamental way. It helps if the two have planets in each other's sign. And Madonna is definitely a full-on Leo, but she does have three planets (her Moon, Mercury and Pluto) and her Ascendant in Virgo, Guy's Sun sign. And Guy's Mars is in Leo, very close to an exact conjunction with Madonna's Sun (which should augur a passionate, romantic sex life, though perhaps also some dramatic arguments). His Jupiter is conjunct her Moon and Ascendant, making him a great supporter who encourages her and boosts her self-image. In their composite or relationship chart, the Sun, Venus and Uranus are closely conjunct in Virgo, with Pluto and Mercury also in Virgo but not in on the conjunction action. Guy's birth time is, annoyingly, unknown; his Moon could be either in fiery Aries or stoic Taurus. Either would probably serve him well in terms of standing up to Madonna's Leo willfullness. However, as a mutable Virgo he is likely to be the one who capitulates in any marital confrontation.

Madonna and Guy's composite chart, signifying the dynamic of their relationship, is very interesting. The Sun, Venus and Uranus are all closely conjunct in Virgo, with Pluto also in Virgo seven degrees away. This planetary pile-up suggests a relationship that is extremely close but also extremely volatile. All that Virgo speaks to their iron-fist-run household, with rigid healthy routines (that macrobiotic birthday cake...) and no TV for the kids. But all this obsessive-compulsive Virgo energy has been sorely tested lately, with chaotic Uranus in Pisces opposing the Virgo planets in Madonna and Guy's composite throughout 2005. Disruptive forces have challenged their tightly managed routine, creating a sense of physical and emotional upheaval. This would have been most acute around February 2005, when Uranus first transited these planets, and flared up again in mid-November when Uranus stationed a little over a degree from an opposition to the Ritchies' composite Uranus. Translation: Either they've so far managed to weather the storm, or their marital problems already split them up, but they've kept it under wraps in true Hollywood fashionably-late-breakup-announcement style. I really don't want to believe this, and it's not like she would have a motive for hiding it, such as a new album release or -- never mind! Anyway, if this nightmare scenario is true and poor Lola and Rocco will have to cram yet another baby-daddy play date into their already hectic weekly schedules, I would expect an announcement around the end of March, when transiting Uranus opposes their composite Pluto and long-buried secrets come suddenly to light. Again, I can't stress enough that I hope I am wrong.
