Steve-O, Uranus Is Showing

Sound the trumpets: A new birth chart has been added to the Celebrity Charts Vault. As promised, I have posted the natal horoscope of public urinator, unabashed drug user, rebound fling of Nicole Richie and all-around professional jackass Steve-O, born Steven Gilchrist Glover {Source}.

See Steve-O's birth chart ~ Exclusive to CelebAstroBlogy.com; no birth time

Now, you just know that Uranus is going to be prominent in the birth chart when someone dedicates his entire life to doing unexpected, shocking, immature, convention-defying stunts like urinating in public and showing his, well, anus at every opportunity. Sure enough, Steve-O's impulsive, mischievous Gemini Sun forms a trine with Uranus in Libra. Rocking the boat is second nature to him. Uranus also opposes Chiron in Aries, the "wounded" asteroid, suggesting the bodily-injury-prone nature of his brand of humor and the "kids, don't try this at home" disapproval it engenders.

The square between Saturn and Pluto, plus the sextile between Mars in fiery Leo and Pluto, suggest a tendency to challenge authority figures and assert his own power, aggressively if necessary. His Sun-Jupiter square in mutable signs makes Steve-O suggestible and prone to overdo and go too far. Watch out for his behavior to get even more out of control as Uranus transits his Jupiter in spring 2007.

Depending on the time of day he was born, Steve-O could have a self-destructive, addictive Pisces Moon, or an impulsive, aggressive Aries Moon, possibly opposing his Pluto. Of course, if you have any information on Steve-O's birth time, please email me or post a comment. My guess would be that he was born either with Aquarius rising or Uranus on the Ascendant.

Justin Dumps Cameron: I Totally Called It!

Finally something has gone right with the world. I was really starting to worry there, what with the marriage rumors and all, but at last Justin Timberlake has come to his senses. Page Six reports that he has dumped a "devastated" Cameron Diaz for being "too clingy":

Timberlake has shown Cameron Diaz the door, so he can sow his wild oats. The hit-making horndog axed his love of three years because, "he's poised to leave on a world tour and he wants to be free," says veteran gossip Janet Charlton.... "She was just too clingy." {Source}

First of all: Sweet! Second of all: Gosh, why does that sound eerily familiar, almost as if I had foretold it? Oh, that's right, I DID!!! Here's what I had to say back in March, when I expressed my wish that Justin would stop the insanity, cut Cameron loose and rejoin his one true love, Britney Spears:

...[C]ome on, a Virgo with Cancer rising [Cameron] and a Taurus Moon, and an Aquarius with Leo rising and a Sag Moon [Justin]? I'm guessing that from moment one, Cameron has been trying to sink her claws of commitment into Justin while he bobs and weaves.... With all that air and fire, Justin does not need an earth-sign ball and chain like Cameron. And in fairness, she certainly doesn't need a hard-to-pin-down Aquarian constantly denying her the sense of security her Taurus Moon craves....

With upheaval-inducing Uranus transiting his 7th house of relationships (it won't be out once and for all until 2009), this is no time for Justin to settle down in a marriage; he is working on his own issues and going through a lot of inner change and turmoil....

I can't wait until May, when Justin's progressed Moon contacts his natal Uranus in Scorpio. Some intense feelings that he has been suppressing may boil to the surface at this time. I can only hope that this Uranian upheaval will mean that Justin bursts free of Cameron's clutches. {Source}

Indeed, although the couple still denies it {Source}, clearly it is only a matter of time before reps confirm that all my hopes have come to pass. Justin's progressed Moon right now is at 0° of freedom-loving Sagittarius (his natal Moon sign), within 1° of his natal Uranus, ruler of his Aquarius Sun. Maybe having his progressed Moon in Scorpio made Justin vibe better with Cam's Cancer Moon, also a water sign, but the transition to Sag and the conjunction with Uranus sent him scrambling for his personal freedom. ~ See Justin Timberlake's birth chart (Astrotheme) ~ See Cameron Diaz's birth chart (Astrotheme)

This breakup news comes just as transiting Uranus turns retrograde in Justin's 7th house of partnership, which, as I mentioned in March, it has been shaking up for quite some time. So far, everything is going exactly according to plan. Justin can release his album and sow his oats while Britney deals with popping out her second baby and kicking Kevin Federline to the curb. Then, with all that unpleasantness behind them, J.T. and Brit-Brit will be free and ready to reunite.

As I have previously noted, it may take until the end of 2008, when Jupiter plays matchmaker, for Justin and Britney to come together and fulfill their destiny as soulmates. But what is meant to be must come to pass sooner or later! Congratulations to Justin on finally cutting Ball-and-Chain Diaz loose. I just know this is only the beginning!

A Heartfelt Tribute to Aaron Spelling

It is with a heavy heart that I bid Namaste to entertainment titan Aaron Spelling (1923–2006) {Source}, whose impact on my life, I can honestly say without irony or snark, has been immeasurable.

When I was little, I had a plastic necklace and clip-on earrings set with the Charlie's Angels silhouette logo. At 11, I did not know how I would make it through a summer before finding out who died in Dynasty's Moldavian Massacre. Hell, I guess back in the day I even watched Love Boat and Fantasy Island. God, I didn't even think to credit him for exposing me to my lifelong inspiration, Charo!

And then came Beverly Hills, 90210 and Melrose, which, along with The Simpsons, formed the pop-culture cornerstones of my entire adolescence and college career. Thanks to the magic of SoapNet and DVR, I have been reliving 90210 episode by delicious episode. The scene when Brenda tells Kelly and Dylan, "I hate you both! Never talk to me again!" is one of the finest moments ever televised. My memories of watching each ep for the first time are inextricably intertwined with my memories of where I was, who I was with and what I was doing.

Eerily, just last night at a dinner party I was discussing my love and admiration for Aaron. And this morning...well, afternoon (it was a really good party, okay?), I awoke and immediately set about catching up with my recorded 90210s. Moreover, I was delighted to find that the Melrose series finale aired on Friday, which means Monday the show will go BACK TO THE BEGINNING and I will have the joy of watching its evolution from After-School Special for Adults into knock-down, drag-out trash-fest. It was in that Spellingasmic state that I spotted an online headline announcing the terrible news that Aaron Spelling passed away at the age of 83.

Born with his Sun in determined, materialistic Taurus right on the Midheaven (career goals), as well as Mercury in Taurus in the 10th house of career, Aaron Spelling was relentless in his pursuit of professional and financial success, cranking out bajillions of shows over his years. (Ooh, I totally forgot about Charmed! Shannen Doherty + Alyssa Milano + witchcraft = genius!) See Aaron Spelling's birth chart (Astrotheme)

An authoritative, paternal figure, Aaron had his Moon square paternalistic Saturn, and his Taurus Sun conjunct three fixed stars with Saturn-Mars energy: Angetenar, Tyl and Mesarthim. But with Neptune in Leo on the Ascendant, he was also strongly identified with Hollywood fantasy, creating a magical TV reality where every problem could be resolved with an intervention over milkshakes at the Peach Pit or a cathartic catfight in which two bitches push each other into a pool.

With his Moon-Pluto conjunction in Cancer in the down-low 12th house, trining fortunate Jupiter in manpulative Scorpio and zeitgeist-connecting Uranus in Pisces, Spelling was a born power player with a gift for pulling the strings from backstage. His Leo Ascendant may have led him to seek the spotlight as an actor early in his career, but ultimately he found his true calling as a behind-the-scenes shot-caller.

Speaking of expansive, benevolent Jupiter in power-hungry Scorpio, it is placed in Aaron's natal 4th house of family and home, describing two things Aaron is famous for: hooking up his relatives (think Tori's and Randy's careers) and his massive, sprawling mansion. (The man had a BOWLING ALLEY in his HOUSE. How cool is that?!?!)

At the time of his death, Aaron Spelling was experiencing his Uranus return, when Uranus completes its 84-ish-year cycle and returns to the point where it was in the person's birth chart. Obviously this is a once-in-a-lifetime occurrence (or may never even happen for those who don't live to 83 or 84). Jupiter was also retrograding toward its natal position; Jupiter aspects that accompany death signify a kind of release or freedom. After suffering a major stroke as transiting Mars crossed his Ascendant and opposed Chiron, he might have been in a state of pain or disability, so that it was a relief for Spelling's spirit to be liberated from the confines of his physical form.

My condolences go out to the Spelling family, and I hope this will inspire Tori to reach out and heal the rift with her mother, Candy. As longtime readers will recall, I'm happy for Tori that she seems to have genuine chemistry with her new Scorpio husband Dean McDermott, but I'm concerned that she should be protecting herself financially. Now that Tori is exponentially more loaded, it's especially important that she keep her head on her shoulders.

Aaron, thank you for many wonderful years of escapist entertainment. Thank you for bringing Charo, Shannen and Heather Locklear into our homes. Thank you for inspiring us to be better human beings inside and out with the paragons represented by Farrah's hair, Bob Mackie's fashions and Brandon Walsh's moral superiority. You deserved every dollar you earned and every room in your mansion. Your contribution to pop culture has been vast and trashtacular. You will be missed. But I just know that as the patron saint of television, you will be looking down on us from above.

Does Suri Cruise Really Exist?

When I first analyzed Suri Cruise's birth horoscope {See Suri Cruise's birth chart ~ Exclusive to Celeb AstroBlogy} back in April, I noted the presence of Neptune on her Ascendant* and observed:

Suri has Aquarius, sign of the public and mass communication (including the Internet) rising.* The rising sign, or Ascendant, describes a person's outer appearance or the face they project to the world, as well as the birth and start of life. With Neptune, the planet of fantasy and illusion, in Aquarius (again, the sign of mass communication) conjuncting the Ascendant,* there is a veil of mystery or deception cloaking the circumstances of Suri's birth and true identity.... (Perhaps incidentally, Neptune is often prominent in the birth charts of people who are adopted.) {Source}

Well, folks, that was two months ago, and so far Suri has projected no face at all to the world. In the past few weeks, Kingston Rossdale has taken up tennis, Shiloh Jolie-Pitt has modeled for magazine covers and even friggin' Mira Sorvino's D-list baby has made his appearance. Yet the spawn of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes has made nary a peep, negotiated no photo rights deals, nor even emerged as a mass of swaddling blankets. The nebulous Neptune-Ascendant aspect seems more apt by the day. At this point people are starting to wonder: Does Suri really exist? Are the conspiracy theories about Katie's pregnancy being a sham actually true?

There certainly is a cloud around Suri's true nature in her birth chart, and suggestions of her identity being ephemeral or intangible. In addition to Neptune in Aquarius on the Ascendant, Suri also has Venus conjunct unpredictable Uranus in Neptune-ruled Pisces in her 1st house.* When two planets are in the sign the other rules, as Uranus and Neptune are in Suri's chart (and in effect in the heavens from 2003–2008) they are said to be in "mutual reception,", vibing with and strengthening each other. Obviously Aquarius (the public, the media, mass communication) and Pisces (deception, delusion, fantasy) are interwoven in Suri's chart, if indeed she exists. "Suri" may actually be short for "surreal."

Venus conjunct Uranus hints at something very unconventional and unexpected about the relationships in her life, particularly with women. The Moon, representing emotions and the mother, is conjunct secretive Pluto, perhaps echoing this theme. Could Suri herself be the secret, the unexpected female, in the sense of being nonexistent, or being a baby-for-hire that her parents are now scrambling to obtain and reveal to the world?

Tom Cruise's own horoscope may hold some hints. Tom also has Neptune prominent in his chart, as it squares his Saturn, trines (and rules) his Jupiter-Chiron, inconjuncts his Sun and sextiles his Pluto. See Tom Cruise's birth chart (Astrotheme)

Right now, transiting Jupiter is conjuncting Tom's natal Neptune, while being squared by the transiting Mars-Saturn conjunction on his Leo Moon. The element of Neptune-ruled deception is taking up more and more of his life, but he is feeling a lot of emotional pressure to express how he really feels. He may be locked into a certain M.O. that he is now bursting to break free from.

Meanwhile, Uranus has just passed Tom's Jupiter-Chiron in Neptune-ruled Pisces and is about to retrograde back over them, which could augur the sudden exposure of a deep, dark, painful secret...some skeleton in Tom's *cough* closet. A revelation could come in early September, when Uranus touches Tom's Jupiter, or around November 20 when Uranus stations right on Tom's Chiron. A final window for an "I am what I am" epiphany comes in late January 2007, when direct Uranus makes its last pass over Tom's Jupiter.

So, as with the so-called "moon" "landing," we may never know for sure whether Suri's birth was a purely Hollywood-concocted event. But it does seem like cracks are showing in the facade of the Neptunian world of illusion Tom has created around himself. Perhaps Katie will build up a tolerance to the horse tranquilizers and appetite suppressants they've been pumping her full of, and finally crack under the pressure of living the lie. When Neptune is involved, we can always dream....

*Update: Suri's birth certificate is now on file! Find out how this changes her chart.

Don't Screw With Reese Witherspoon!

Last week I wanted to look into the Reese Witherspoon pregnancy rumors but was frustrated that there appeared to be some discrepancy online over her birth data. Now it seems like I may have really dodged a bullet, as Reese is suing Star for falsely reporting that she has a third child on the way. {Source} (Hey, I bought that issue—can I sue for my $3.49 back?)

This litigious outburst should come as no big surprise considering that Reese, with her strong-willed Aries energy, does not mess around. You don't want to screw with a woman who has an almost exact Sun-Mars square in cardinal signs, people, 'cause she will MESS YOU UP. That's right, under her demure Southern-girl countenance, sweet Reese is every bit the ball-buster. See Reese Witherspoon's birth chart (Astrotheme, no birth time)

Although there are various reports floating around the Interwebs that Reese was born in New Orleans; Baton Rouge, LA; or even Nashville, I am indebted to P—— for looking into this and concluding from the best available celebrity research that New Orleans is Reese's correct birthplace. {Source}

Pregnancy rumors are in any case difficult to analyze astrologically without a confirmed birth time, as the houses, which are unique to an individual's chart based on time of birth, hold important information about childbearing potential. P—— was unfortunately unable to verify a 12PM birth time for Reese that appears (without a source) on at least one astrology site, Zodiacal Zephyr. This concerns me, as astrologers sometimes set charts for 12PM as a default when no birth time is available, and it is just possible that someone took the 12PM time from a chart such as this one and posted it as if it were real.

But the 12PM chart actually does seem to fit Reese rather well. It puts Mars on her Ascendant opposing the Capricorn Moon in her 7th house of marriage and partnership. This not only turns her Sun-Mars square, mentioned above, into a T-square with the ambitious Capricorn Moon, which would explain Reese's incredible drive to succeed and dominate in her field. Pluto in Libra, though not as tightly in orb as the Sun-Moon-Mars T-square, completes the powerhouse grand-cross configuration. I can't stress strongly enough that this is not a woman you want to screw with, no matter what time of day she was born.

This birth time would also account for some of the seemingly contradictory aspects of Reese's personality. Suppose the noon chart is accurate: With 29° Gemini rising and Mars in Cancer conjunct the Ascendant, Reese comes off as charming and sparkling, but there's also a directness and aggressiveness to the image she projects. Think perfectly perky yet diehard cutthroat Tracy Flick in Election.

With the nurturing Moon in the 7th house of marriage (again, in this unverified chart) opposing Mars in family-oriented, homebody, Moon-ruled Cancer, Reese is fiercely dedicated to her husband and children, and family life is a huge part of her personality and public image (she seems, laudably, like one of the most hands-on moms in Hollywood). But at the same time, with the Moon in ambitious Capricorn opposing Mars and squaring the Aries Sun, Reese's single-minded career goals define her as well. She worked through both of her pregnancies and, come to think of it, has worked most of her life. That hard-driving Capricorn climb-to-the-top mentality really fits Reese.

Could another pregnancy be in Reese's future? It is possible. Jupiter is stationing in July in trine to Reese's Venus and Ryan's Jupiter, which could bring more blessings into their lives and expand the circle of love in their family. See Ryan Philippe's birth chart (Astrotheme, no birth time)

Jupiter is stationing near Reese's natal Uranus, which, if the noon chart is correct, falls in her 5th house of children and childbirth. This placement could bring an unexpected pregnancy. If not, Reese could also have good luck conceiving her next child around the end of 2007 or beginning of 2008, when Jupiter would be conjuncting her Moon (again, if the noon birth time is correct).

I certainly hope that the Witherspoon-Philippes do increase their ridiculously gorgeous brood, so that perhaps some hope shall remain for humanity's next generation, especially if Deacon and Shiloh Jolie-Pitt decide to breed, I mean, fall in love. If anyone has any information on Reese's or Ryan's time of birth, please be so kind as to share it, that I may better track their procreating potential.

Mira Sorvino's New Baby

Does anyone care about Mira Sorvino's new baby son by her pool boy, or whoever the hell it is she married? I sure as hell don't, but since she shared his birth time with OK!, I thought, hell, it should be posted on the Interwebs for posterity.

Johnny Christopher King Backus was born "by 5:50 PM," according to Mira, on May 29, 2006, at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in L.A. So quoth the U.S. edition of OK! on page 50 of its June 26, 2006 issue. (Note to Mira regarding the haggard accompanying spread: You actually can lighten your hair after the first trimester of pregnancy. So there's really no excuse for those roots, hon.)

If anyone cares to do little Johnny's birth chart, knock yourself out, and feel free to post a comment with your insights. I personally can't be bothered. But perhaps this information could be put to use in a vast database of celebrity baby birth data to predict the next generation of celebrity hookups.

A Bittersweet 64th Birthday for Paul McCartney

I feel so sad for Sir Paul McCartney. He turns 64 today, and as I recently reported, he will ironically be spending the birthday he once sang about alone. But since I wrote about his breakup, even more information has come out about just what a skanky hosebeast his soon-to-be-ex-wife Heather Mills is, what with the porno and all. (Although whatever else you can say about their marriage, little Beatrice is awfully cute.)

In his solar return (birthday) chart for 2006, Paul's Sun is on the Midheaven opposing Pluto, suggesting that he will be focusing his energy on his career this year in order to get distance from the transformations taking place in his home life.

With mutable signs on all four angles of the chart (the 1st, 4th, 7th and 10th house cusps), the coming year will find Paul feeling less than in control of his life, as if he is reacting to other people rather than making decisions on his own. He has a lot of mutable energy in his natal chart anyway, so it really is tough for him to be on his own right now.

Following the post on Paul and Heather, a reader wrote in asking what made Paul and Linda so perfect together. These two air signs had a beautifully harmonious relationship, with her Sun in Libra, the sign of partnership, conjunct the cusp of Paul's 7th house of relationships. ~ See Paul McCartney's birth chart (Astrotheme) ~ See Linda McCartney's birth chart (Astrotheme)

Paul's Venus opposed Linda's Moon-Venus; his Sun-Mercury was on her Jupiter; and her Sun squared his Jupiter, all showing good rapport and an ability to grow together. As previously discussed, the rapport thing... not so much with Capricorn Heather.

I would like to see Paul happy again soon, and I would like to venture a suggestion, which I am very excited about, regarding who might fill the hole in his life.

There just happens to be a very beautiful woman who, like Linda, has her Sun in ean early degree of romantic Libra, in Paul's 7th house of partnership. And like Paul, this woman happens to be a decades-spanning pop icon with a cute accent and a perennial cherubic smile. Also like Paul, she happens to have recently had her heart broken by a partner who turned out to be not what he seemed.

Ladies and gentlemen, I submit for your consideration as the next Lady McCartney one Olivia Newton-John.

Think about it: After her brave cancer battle and his late wife's brave cancer battle and the two two-faces they last hooked up with.... Do any two people deserve a happy ending more?!?!
