Is Christina Aguilera Pregnant?

Rumors are swirling that Christina Aguilera is pregnant, and TMZ reports that she and hubby Jordan Bratman were recently sighted at "NY's Maternal Fetal Medicine Association -- a practice known for their expertise in high-risk pregnancies and state-of-the-art ultrasounds." {Source} What does Christina's astrological chart have to say about a possible pregnancy?

In the progressed chart, there are certainly indicators that motherhood is coming to the forefront of Christina's consciousness. Ceres, the asteroid that represents nurturing and is often associated with pregnancy, in mothering Cancer, has moved into an exact opposition to Xtina's natal Mars, and is within three degrees of an opposition to her progressed Sun (while the progressed Sun is a degree and a half away from natal Ceres in Cancer). The progressed Taurus Moon, another signifier of mothering as well as of femininity, is in Christina's progressed 1st house. See Christina Aguilera's birth chart (Astrotheme)

(A note on the Ceres-Mars opposition: masculine-identified Mars rules sexuality, and Xtina's brash, in-your-face sexuality is certainly a major part of her persona. This aspect could suggest that her maternal side is in conflict with the "Dirrty" aspect of her identity.)

Further, in the progressed chart, Jupiter in Libra is sitting right on the 7th house cusp, an indicator that her marriage continues to grow and evolve; with Saturn in Libra also conjuncting the Descendant from the 6th house, their partnership may be about to be tested by a new set of responsibilities and a more intense schedule.

There are also, however, hints that Xtina may have to make some trade-offs if she is going to become a parent, as her career is also highlighted now. Transiting Jupiter in Sagittarius will go stationary direct near her Midheaven in August, then travel through her 10th house until the end of the year, signifying that this is a time of continued career growth and success which may well find her traveling the globe (as she has been on her world tour).

In the progressed chart, Venus in Capricorn on the Midheaven echoes this theme of success and status. Progressed Venus' square to Saturn in the 6th shows this success will come through hard work. Ceres in the 4th house of family and home opposite the Sun in the 10th house hints that her goals for self-advancement could be in direct conflict with her nurturing, maternal urges. When Christina is ready to start a family, she will definitely have to figure out a way to strike a balance. But with that powerful Jupiter-Saturn conjunction in Libra, she should be pretty good at that.

As I have previously discussed, Christina seems like she is in a really good place in her life and has a heartwarmingly solid (and sexy) relationship with her husband. I wish them all the best of luck in starting a family!

Will Prison Change You-Know-Who?

As longtime readers know, I eschew any mention of She Who Shall Not Be Named, For Publicity Feeds Her Horrible Power. But disturbing new developments have led me to believe I must speak out. For thanks to the squinty-eyed succubus' recent underhanded prison-stint pity-ploy gambit, we are all in danger of succumbing to her horrible power. People, do not be tricked into sympathizing with this STD-ridden chupacabra! I am here to tell you that no matter how many copies of The Power of Now or The Secret she poses with for paparazzi, SWSNBN,FPFHHP has in no way, shape or form become enlightened, humbled, or mature via her recent "tribulations." If anything, her own illusions of depth have made her that much more shallow and self-absorbed. I mean, just look at that glamour-shot mug-shot, for Chrissakes.

Very reluctantly, I took a peek (through my two same-sized eyes, I might add) at SWSNBN,FPFHHP's horoscope to see if she is indeed experiencing some kind of meaningful Saturn transit that might teach her something. But no -- quite the opposite. Neptune is retrograding over her natal Sun in media-minded Aquarius, feeding into all her narcissistic delusions about herself. See She Who Shall Not Be Named, For Publicity Feeds Her Horrible Power's birth chart (Astrotheme) Neptune rules spirituality as well as addictions, so it is interesting that you-know-who has gone from drinking to attending church.

It's true that Chiron, the planet of wounding, is retrograding over SWSNBN,FPFHHP's natal Venus, which means -- boo hoo! -- no more parties, freebies, fake friends and expensive swag bags, at least for a while. And Mars in Aries crossing her 4th-house cusp represents the solitary environment she'll be occupying for the duration of her shortened sentence.

But in general, there is little in the horoscope to suggest trauma or stress past the point of ohmigod-I-chipped-my-pedi-level drama. Don't be surprised if she is unleashed back on the Hollywood scene in hours or days for "good behavior" -- and emerges with an insufferable marytr/guru complex that swells her pointy head even further.

Angelina Jolie's 2007 Birthday Forecast

What does the coming year hold for Angelina Jolie, who turns 32 on June 4? The actress has been through a lot of ups and downs in the past year, from the death of her mother to the addition of two new little ones to the family. Now she says she'll take time off ... but is that really in the stars for this overachiever?

I took a look at Angelina's solar return chart, a birthday horoscope that represents the coming year, to find out. And if anything, it appears she'll spend 2007 in an even more glaringly bright spotlight -- which could threaten her relationship with Brad Pitt. See Angelina Jolie's 2007 solar return chart (Exclusive to CelebAstroBlogy.com)

In her solar return chart for the year, Angelina's natal 11th house, representing public perceptions of her, her media image, and her fame, comes to the Ascendant, suggesting this year will be dominated by that aspect of her life, as opposed to her private role as a mother and, er, life partner. The SR (solar return) Sun is in the 1st house of the SR chart, reinforcing the idea that Angie will be very much out in the open, rather than under the radar, this year.

That said, family relationships will definitely also be important to our Ange this year, as signified by her SR Venus in Cancer being just half a degree away from its own return to its natal position, which is on the natal Ascendant. See Angelina Jolie's birth chart (Astrotheme) Angelina's maternal, domestic, caring urges will certainly be a priority for her this year, as well as her career.

But there could be some fraying in the fabric of this domestic life. The SR Sun is opposite Jupiter in Sagittarius in the 7th house of relationships, and Uranus in Pisces in the SR 11th house forms a T-square. Jupiter in Sag could represent her double-Sagittarius partner Brad, with his urge to expand and develop their relationship; but Uranus in Pisces in the 11th house suggests that the allure of fame--no matter how much she might publicly shun it--is a force pulling Angelina away from the relationship.

Moreover, SR Mars in assertive, independent Aries is on Angelina's natal Jupiter, triggering her inborn itch to grow and expand by striking out on a new path on her own. She will be adventurous as ever (expect to see more plane flying, if not race car driving, walking across hot coals, and so forth) and definitely restless.

Given all that, plus Angelina's solar return Saturn opposite Brad's natal Saturn, could she be delivering a tough lesson to him this year? See Brad Pitt's birth chart (Astrotheme)

Actually, their relationship is looking more solid than not. Angelina's SR Moon in Saturn-ruled Capricorn exactly conjuncts Brad Pitt's natal Moon (within 04" of a degree). Emotionally, they will be very much in synch this year, and dedicated to the Capricornian values of long-term planning, stability and structure. Seen in this light, the Saturn opposition could also act as a binding force, reinforcing their connection rather than putting stress on it.

Ultimately, I don't see Brangelina splitting this year ... but the relatively pragmatic, unromantic Capricorn Moons could hint that they are sticking it out and making it work for the sake of a stable parental structure for the kids, rather than due to their passionate feelings for each other. Angie may still need a new outlet to act out.

{Astro-methodology note: This year I have opted to calculate Angie's SR chart for New Orleans, LA, where she and Brad have settled (by their standards, anyway) with their kids. Since she says she plans to take time off to be a mom, and Maddox has reportedly been enrolled in school in New Orleans, this is the closest thing to a stable home base Angelina has established.}

New Astrology and Celeb Gossip Online Features

Gentle readers, please excuse the momentary lapse in humility, but I am excited to announce a couple of my new projects aside from CelebAstroBlogy.com that you may be interested in checking out.

WomansDay.com just relaunched with a new design featuring an expanded astrology section (written by yours truly) at womansday.com/
astrology/. Now, in addition to daily horoscopes (womansday.com/astrology/), you can check out your expanded monthly forecast including power days and love days (womansday.com/astromonthly/). There’s also a complete zodiac compatibility chart letting you know how each pair of signs gets along, as a love match and otherwise (http://www.womansday.com/astrochart).

I greatly appreciate all y'all's patience through some recent patches of spotty updating, as I have been juggling new projects. I am so excited and grateful for the new opportunities that have come to me recently but regret that there have sometimes not been enough hours in the day to devote the time and energy to the blog I would wish. Hopefully I've gotten better at time management, and I am definitely committed to bringing you all the latest news on what's in the stars' stars. Again, thanks for bearing with me. Please keep checking back at CelebAstroBlogy.com regularly, and posting your comments and requests!

Namaste,
