Celeb Birthdays: September 23

Happy autumn! Today is the fall equinox, with the Sun having entered the cardinal sign of Libra at 1:03 AM EDT. Now, remember that the Sun enters a sign at a slightly different moment every year, so take any chart without a birth time with a grain of salt: The person in question could fall on the other side of the Virgo cusp.

Actor Kip Pardue is 30. See Kip Pardue's birth chart (Astrotheme, no birth time)

Layzie Bone of Bone Thugs-n-Harmony is 31.

Hip-hop/R&B superproducer and Janet Jackson man-toy Jermaine Dupri is 34.

Musician Ani DiFranco turns 36 today. She has always annoyed the hell out of me, and her voice is like a fork on a chalkboard as far as I'm concerned. There, I said it! And it felt good! See Ani DiFranco's birth chart (Astrotheme, no birth time)

Two veteran supporting cast members, actor Chi McBride and actress Elizabeth Peña, both turn 45 today. See Chi McBride's birth chart (Astrotheme, no birth time) ~ See Elizabeth Peña's birth chart (Astrotheme, no birth time)

After working for years to establish a distinguished career on screen and stage, I bet Seinfeld's Jason Alexander, 47 today, is mightily annoyed that henceforth he must forever be distinguished from Britney Spears' momentary first husband. See Jason Alexander's birth chart (Astrotheme)

Actress Rosalind Chao is 49.

My future stepfather, Bruce Springsteen, is 57. See Bruce Springsteen's birth chart (Astrotheme)

Actress Mary Kay Place is 59. See Mary Kay Place's birth chart (Astrotheme, no birth time)

Lindsay Lohan: Dumped During a Saturn-Venus Transit

My Lindsay Lohan Saturn-Venus breakup prediction has come true! Let the schadenfreude and own-horn-tooting begin! (Oh wait, it already has.) Thanks so much to reader Pluto for the heads-up that heirhead Harry Morton has dumped young Hollywood's premier train wreck in training, as evidenced by a sighting of LiLo "crying in the lobby at the Chateau Marmont Thursday night." {Source: Perez Hilton}

As faithful readers such as Pluto recall, I first predicted on the occasion of Lindsay's 20th birthday this past July that we could "expect to see Lindsay learn a hard lesson in love in mid-September, when transiting Saturn conjuncts her Venus." {Source}

When Lindsay began dating H.Mo later that month and landed her bikinied bottom in the hospital for quote-unquote dehydration amidst heavy partying, I reiterated and honed this prediction:

"As I mentioned in Linds's birthday forecast, September is set to bring some hard lessons in love when Saturn conjuncts Lindsay's Venus. Now that she has met hottie heirhead Harry Morton and finally established a relationship lasting longer than the time it takes to find her underwear balled up on the bedroom floor, signs point to him breaking her heart once the summer ends." {Source}

Gosh, the summer technically ended at 1:03AM today with the autumn equinox, so I guess I was slightly off there. Technically, Saturn's conjunction to Lindsay's Venus was exact on September 12. But eclipses often act as event triggers, which seems to be the case here. Harry evidently ditched La Linds Wednesday night, soon before the lunar eclipse (Lindsay's Cancer Sun is ruled by the Moon; her Leo Venus, by the Sun) in the last degree of Virgo that occured in the wee hours of Friday morning.

Time will tell if the second part of my prediction, which foretold Lindsay's descent into a self-medicating spiral following the breakup, will also come to pass. With transiting Saturn's trine to her natal Uranus, she might act out in a volatile, unpredictable way. It would be nice to think that since Saturn is also inconjunct Lindsay's Mars in Saturn-ruled Capricorn, she might clean up her act, straighten up and fly right. But with her professional rep already on the downslide thanks to Dehydrategate, and no non-sleazy adult role model in sight, LiLo could be in major trouble. Thanksgiving in rehab is definitely still on the table.

Site Update: All Existence Is Still Suffering

Dearest readers,

Although I rolled out of bed and turned on the wildly quality-of-life-elevating Radio Nigel to hear a live version of the Stranglers' "Always the Sun," this cosmic omen was a red herring for two reasons. One: As my partner in crime MQ has astutely pointed out, nature abhors a live version; and two, there is not always the sun. Tomorrow morning, in fact, it will be eclipsed by the moon in the final degree of Virgo, which should make everyone just a little bit loony.

Anyhoo, you may have noticed that CelebAstroBlogy updates have continued to be spotty as of late while I wade through the vale of tears that has been my life since the eclipse in Pisces fell directly on my Venus two weeks ago. If anyone lives in the NYC area and wishes to buy me several beers, I will be happy to tell you about it, but suffice to say: Big wheel keeps on turning; Shiva, lord of creation and destruction, keeps on burning... yadda, yadda, yadda, I thought it would be best to make a fresh start with CelebAstroBlogy updates after this pair of eclipses has safely passed. This one will form a square to my 29° Gemini Ascendant and out-of-sign square to my Saturn-Mars at 0° Cancer, so please wish me well. Stay tuned for posts resuming Saturday, including a birth reading for Britney's baby!

Namaste,
KittyTaurus

Update: Please note that I am being overwrought and melodramatic, as is my wont. Nothing really tragic or traumatic has happened to me, I have just been deluged with distractions and technical difficulties. Those who know me are aware that I use the phrase "vale of tears" to describe such experiences as smudging my manicure the second I stick my hands under the blowy hoocher. I apologize for alarming anyone unnecessarily.
