Celeb Birthdays: November 22-23

Happy Thanksgiving! Right now, obviously, all existence is stuffing. I'm home with my fam celebrating gluttony gratitude ... and in fact I do have something new to be thankful for that you'll hear more about next week, gentle readers. Through this weekend, I'll do my best to keep you up to date with celeb birthdays, but unless Nicole Richie chokes on a drumstick or something, please keep your expectations for posts low. In fact, if you generally keep your expectations low in life, you'll have a lot more to be thankful for this Thanksgiving. And on that inspirational note....

• November 22

Scarlett Johansson, who may be bodacious but as an actress is frankly overrated if you ask me, and that may be the one thing Lindsay Lohan and I have in common other than of course our lifestyle, is 22. I'll grant that she was good in Ghost World, but I don't feel she deserves credit for the awesomeness of that film. See Scarlett Johansson's birth chart (Astrotheme, no birth time)

Canadian figure skater David Pelletier, cruelly robbed of his Olympic gold medal by a French judge in league with the Axels of Evil, is 32.

Awful, awful light-rocker Bruce Hornsby, 52, is seriously the only remotely famous person celebrating a birthday today. Okay, and with that I'm off to do 20 minutes of Pilates to make more room for stuffing! See Bruce Hornsby's birth chart (Astrotheme)

Jude and Sienna: Over for Good This Time?

I know, I know: Reporting on Jude Law and Sienna Miller's relationship is kind of like keeping tabs on Oprah's weight or the Israel-Palestine conflict. You just know another oscillation is coming up, so at a certain point it's like, why even graph the ups and downs? Their most recent breakup announcement supposedly has the couple calling it quits for good {Source}, but there is a hint of a can't-stay-away dynamic in the couple's horoscopes that is intriguing despite the tedium of their rote breakups and makeups. What draws them together? Well, ultimately they're both narcissistic people who gratify each other's egos.

The first thing that jumps out about this couple is that, despite the decade-ish age diff, their birthdays are a day apart, meaning their Suns are closely conjunct in Capricorn. See Sienna Miller's birth chart (Astrotheme, no birth time) ~ See Jude Law's birth chart (Astrotheme) The Sun rules the ego center and the core personality, and this conjunction suggests that they are drawn to each other because in many fundamental ways they are alike. Right away it appears the attraction is based on a sort of ego reflection wherein they reinforce each other's (and their own) fundamental traits and tendencies.

Of course, there's nothing bad about being simpatico in this way. It just strikes me that Jude and Sienna each seem rather emotionally ... oh, what's the word? ... shallow. In their natal charts, apart from Jude's Mars and Sienna's Jupiter in Scorpio, there are no planets in water signs, the element that brings feeling, compassion and nurturing to an individual's identity. Their collective emphasis of planets in career-driven, ambitious Capricorn, plus the freewheeling bachelor sign Sagittarius and let's-gloss-that-over Libra, suggests an outward, goal-oriented focus rather than any sort of deep inner reflection. Rather than look within themselves, these two can gaze dreamily at each other, and get validation that they are perfect exactly as they are.

But despite this core similarity, it's hardly smooth sailing for this couple. Sienna's Pluto on Jude's Moon in Libra augurs a tempestuous, passionate emotional rollercoaster of a relationship where power and control are constantly oscillating within the relationship; five degrees away, Sienna's Saturn on Jude's Uranus suggests that her attempts to control or confine him within the partnership only stir up his urge to break free and flee the restrictions of commitment. There is a chafing dynamic going on here. Jude's natal Venus-Saturn opposition in Sagittarius-Gemini signals that he is extremely wary of any attempt by a woman he's with to limit his freedom. With Pluto on Jude's Moon and Saturn on his Uranus, Sienna may come off as clingy, controlling and posessive. Sienna's Mars on Jude's Pluto in Libra may generate great sexual sparks but also intense potential for anger, cruelty and recrimination ... perhaps attempts to "even the score" with revenge in a twisted use of the Libra archetype.

With transiting Venus in Sagittarius about to pass over Jude's natal Venus-Neptune conjunction, further clouding his already unrealistic ideas about relationships and stirring up his romantic fantasies, don't be surprised if Jude and Sienna rebound back into each other's arms within the next couple of weeks ... or at least, are busted by the paparazzi for having some hot breakup sex before they go their separate ways once and for all.

TomKat's Scorpio Marriage: Manipulation Much?

And so it is done. Following a reported recitation of Scientology vows as misgoynistic as they are random, TomKat is one.

Astrologically speaking, however, I am still waiting for the other (flat) shoe to drop. A bajillion inane reports about the "fairytale" wedding of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes in Bracciano, Italy, have so far failed to note or even estimate the time of the ceremony. (Please, gentle readers, email me if you come across an exception.) I will keep looking; in the meantime, I have deduced that the marriage must have been made official sometime after 4:20 PM, judging from a report that has Tom helicoptering in to the ceremony at 4 PM {Source} and others reporting it was 20 minutes long (ugh, I looked through so many I can't find one to source right now). That said, my hunch is that the ceremony that un-love-childed Suri was most likely later in the day, considering repeated references to evening and nightfall in wedding reports like this one.

Can this limited narrowing-down tell us anything about the wedding chart? Well, it settles one issue I raised when TomKat originally set a wedding date: The timeframe places the Moon in Scorpio along with a whopping four other planets, including the Sun, which describes the core character of the marriage. Oh, noooo, there are no dynamics of control, manipulation, deception, contractual obligation or glomming onto someone else's financial status involved here.

One interesting point of note is that the marriage was "officialized" (read: "actually happened") in L.A. prior to the couple's Italian trip. {Source} So I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the good people at TMZ come through with the documents legalizing the union, since this down-low deal might well shed high-wattage light on this mysterious Scorpionic marriage. Stay tuned, and again, please pass along any info on the ceremony (or City Hall visit) you may come across.
