Slipknot drummer Chris Fehn is 34. See Chris Fehn's birth chart (Astrotheme, no birth time)

Actor Billy Zane, who used to be wicked hot (love him in Tales From the Crypt: Demon Knight!), is not looking so hot at 41. He needs to shave the entire head again. See Billy Zane's birth chart (Astrotheme, no birth time)

I love Debra Jo Rupp, and not just because her character on That '70s Show is named Kitty, but because she is an awesome character actress in general. I can't believe she's not a Hey! It's That Guy, even if that show was on for, like, 12 years. Anyway, she turns 56 today.

Actor Edward James Olmos is 60. See Edward James Olmos' birth chart (Astrotheme)

Will Drew Barrymore Find Love This Year?

Miss Drew Barrymore turns 32 years old today. A classic Pisces with her dreamy, whimsical personality, spiritually sensitive "old soul" quality and of course her famous tendency toward addiction, Drew has successfully battled many of the demons hinted at in her horoscope.

This birthday finds Drew in a pretty good place. Despite her recent breakup with Strokes drummer Fabrizio Moretti, romantic opportunities are on the horizon.


Jupiter is about to cross Drew's 7th-house cusp on March 14, bringing her good luck in love -- although it will retrograde back into her 6th in late April and remain there until the end of October. During this period Drew may be doing some reevaluation of what she is looking for in a partner. (I wouldn't rule out a reunion with Fab, though not a permanent one.) After Jupiter's late-October re-entry into Drew's 7th house, she will likely be ready to let someone new into her life.

Why Did Britney Shave Her Head?

Gentle readers, thank you for your patience. (With every passing hour that I have not had a chance to post, I fear an angry mob with torches and pitchforks outside my building.) Anyhoo, let's cut to the chase and address the burning question of the moment: WTF is going on with Britney Spears and why did she shave her head?

Right now, Chiron, the planetoid of wounding and inner pain, is transiting Britney's Aquarius Moon, which represents her image of herself as a woman and mother as well as her image of her own mother. By shaving her head, Britney was reportedly acting out in defiance against her mother, who was angry about her ditching rehab in less than a day {Source} -- and, of course, she was reacting against her hyper-feminine (Moon) public image (Aquarius). See Britney Spears' birth chart (Astrotheme)

Transiting Mars in Capricorn is also conjunct Britney's Venus, which likewise is suggestive of an act of aggression or hostility against her own femininity. This Mars-Venus aspect can stir up strong passions, both sexual and anger-fueled. As Britney's natal Venus is in the 4th house of family, there again is an indication that her buzz cut signifies an act of rage against her mother.

Mars is also trining Britney's natal Mars, further riling up her temper and tempting her to act impulsive. And it squares Britney's Saturn-Pluto conjunction in the 1st house, prompting her to assert herself with a "You're not the boss of me" defiance against authority. Britney is really bound and determined to rebel against the structures in her life right now, whether that means her mother and family or the music-industry machine that called the shots in her life for so many years.

With transiting Neptune trining her Saturn, Britney's boundaries are blurred; she has lost clear perspective on the structure she needs in her life, and is allowing herself to escape from responsibilities. But without the self-discipline of Saturn, which rules her natal Mars in Capricorn, Britney is like a rudderless boat.

Saturn is sextiling its natal position from now until June, with the aspect exact in mid-March, then again on May 15 after retrograde Saturn turns direct. This could be Britney's last chance to get back on track before her Saturn return, when she really has to face the consequences of the life path she's chosen. Shaving it may have been a symbolic act of catharsis, but what Britney needs to deal with now is the contents of her head.

Never fear, gentle readers, this isn't the last word on our girl by far. More to come on Britney soon.

Kurt Cobain's 40th Birthday: A Posthumous Astrological Profile

Kurt Cobain would have turned 40 today, February 20. How freaky is that to think about? Wonder what he'd be doing if he were alive today.

Even if Kurt had somehow survived the '90s and gotten his life back on track, no doubt the past few years -- and the next few to come -- would be very chaotic and turbulent for him, with Uranus in Pisces passing over five of his natal planets (including Chiron) as well as the Descendant. (I tend to agree with Courtney Love's recent statement that they would probably not still be together if he were alive.) Judging from his horoscope, Kurt was likely to struggle with pain and self-destructiveness throughout his life.
