Lance to Reichen: Ciao, Controlling Capricorn!

As an astrologer, it is both unprofessional and unbecoming of me to crow "Nyah-nyah! Told you so!" when predictable bad news befalls a celebrity. But when the (semi-) celeb in question is my old nemesis Reichen Lehmkuhl, who flatly refused my offer of astrological services even as I warned him about challenging times ahead, only to get dumped by boyfriend Lance Bass, well, all I can say is... Nyah-nyah! Told you so!

As longtime readers will recall, Reichen angrily rebutted my reading of his birth chart, in which I pronounced him a control freak who was out to dominate Lance and possibly use him for publicity. And yet the reported reasons for the breakup sound an awful lot like the controlling Capricorn I described:

"Page Six first reported the troubles Bass and Lehmkuhl were having due to the former Marine's insistence on Bass dropping his straight friends and not having a full-time job. Bass' friends also think Lehmkuhl maneuvered the former *NSYNC-er into coming out at the same time as his book debut, Here's What We'll Say." {Source}

News of the breakup comes as Mars and Jupiter are inconjunct Reichen's natal Saturn (ruler of his Capricorn Sun), nudging him to adjust his military-discipline M.O. and loosen up some of his rigid, tightly structured ways. See Reichen Lehmkuhl's birth chart ~ Exclusive to CelebAstroBlogy.com; no birth time

Meanwhile, Mars and Jupiter are trine Lance's natal Jupiter in passionate Leo. This could really be a time for him to blossom, open up and express himself. Maybe his Goat ex's goading was just what Lance needed to overcome his fears and start enjoying his life as an out and proud gay man. Evidently he already has a new boy-toy lined up. Go, Lance—spread your wings and leave that Type A ass behind!

Lindsay Lohan in Recovery: I Totally Called It!

Okay, maybe it's bad karma to feel so schadenfreudetastic about someone else's problems, even when that someone is rich, spoiled, young and skinny. But it just so happens that I am 2 for 2 in plotting the tipping points of Lindsay Lohan's downward spiral. First I predicted that Lindsay would get her heart broken in September, and indeed her longtime-by-Lindsay-standards beau Harry Morton dumped her that month. Then I warned Lindsay that if she kept self-medicating she could end up in rehab by Thanksgiving:

By the time Uranus stations in a near-exact trine to her Sun on November 20, Lindsay could be challenging Whitney Houston's candidacy for mayor of Train Wreck City. If Lindsay ends up in the hospital again around that time, she may not be so lucky as to get out in time for dinner and clubbing. Don't be surprised if Lindsay ends up spending Thanksgiving in rehab. {Full story}

Now, after a fog of a Thanksgiving weekend during which she accused She Who Shall Not Be Named, For Publicity Feeds Her Horrible Power, of hitting her, and then denied ever making such a claim, comes news that Lindsay is attending AA meetings. Okay, so it's not an in-house recovery program (which I'm guessing LiLo actually needs, considering reports that she has still been sighted out clubbing even as she hits the 12 steps), but at least she's making strides toward getting help.

With Venus transiting her natal Uranus, she is still going through a chaotic time of ups and downs, especially as relationships are concerned (think: her on-again, off-again feud with SWSNBNFPFHHP). We might see another outburst out of Lindsay around December 11, when the Sun conjuncts her natal Uranus, and some addictive behavior around Christmas, when the Sun will be on her natal Neptune. An even more intense time awaits her next spring, when Saturn will be on her Venus and Jupiter on her Uranus. The pressure of responsibility and its impact on her relationships may cause Lindsay to burst and act out in a big way.

For now, as transiting Jupiter approaches the conjunction to her natal Saturn, Lindsay has a good chance to grow into the responsibility of being an adult and creating the structure for herself that her immature parents obviously were incapable of providing her. But the turbulent Uranus in Pisces influence could win out and bring Lindsay more substance-related troubles. Hopefully attending AA meetings will give her the inspiration and support she needs to get her life and career on track.

Britney's 2006-07 Birthday Forecast: Will She Spiral Out of Control?

My beloved Britney Spears turned 25 yesterday amidst a maelstrom of skanky melodrama. What does her astrological chart predict for the coming year? Will she continue her distressing new friendship with She Who Shall Not Be Named, For Publicity Feeds Her Horrible Power? Or will she triumphantly rebound from her rebound phase, put on a pair of panties and remind the world what a *cough* talented artist she is?

Britney's solar return chart, a birthday horoscope cast to show the tone of the approaching year, suggests a lot of instability and perhaps some skeletons coming out of the closet. Mutable signs are on all four angles of the chart, suggesting Britney will feel pulled in different directions this year rather than setting her own course. And her natal Virgo 12th house comes to the Ascendant of the solar return chart, suggesting that Britney's secret self-destructive urges are coming to the forefront of her personality for all to see. Ya think?

Even amidst all the chaos, there is a chance for Britney to experience some real growth and learning this year, and to find her own voice—again or perhaps for the first time. There is an emphasis on communication in the solar return. Mercury, the chart ruler, is rising from the 2nd house, and five planets are in the 3rd house (natural home of Mercury); of those, four, all in Sagittarius, are also positioned in the natal 3rd house. The 3rd rules communication and thought processes, and Britney certainly has a lot of thinking to do. She may go off half-cocked in quite a few different directions this year, as she reaches toward various dreams and ideas of where she wants to go as a person. But even as she tries on various personae for size, this process of discovery could lead to genuine maturation and an expansion of Britney's understanding of herself. A few months from now, she may be able to begin finding her own voice and speaking out about who she really is.

Also this year, the solar return Moon is in Taurus in the 8th house, suggesting that the legal throwdown with K-Fed over money and their shared property will occupy a lot of Britney's emotional energy. The SR Moon opposes Britney's natal Jupiter (ruler of her natal and SR Sagittarius planets), so this draining battle is likely to be an obstacle in the way of her personal growth, but with the SR Moon in Taurus, ultimately she will stand her ground and defend her assets. She might find that even though it takes a lot out of her, she emerges from the face-off feeling stronger and more confident.

Let's hope a trial by Sagittarius fire brings Britney some wisdom and a deeper perspective. If nothing else, she needs to learn there's more to life than partying till dawn and catfighting with skanks.
